Notable experiences:
The Pause Experience

As part of the "Well-being without Burnout" conference, attendees experienced the Pause Experience, a unique opportunity to disconnect and connect with their inner well-being. Guided by Alejandra Vallejo-Nágera and Jorge Corella, participants explored the power of letting go of the emotional burdens we carry day to day. Through the analogy of a "backpack of stones" that we fill with worries and tensions, they learned to release what weighs us down and prevents us from moving forward. This conscious pause was a reminder of the importance of leaving behind what exhausts us in order to continue on our path with lightness and balance.

Testimonials from participants

At the SBC Forum and the Second Congress on Burnout Prevention, we had the honor of hearing from VIAHR Foundation founder María Méndez and speakers Ismael Cala and Bisila Bokoko, who shared powerful lessons on self-care, balance, and mental health. María highlighted the importance of saying "I'm tired" and seeking balance, while Bisila spoke about the challenges of immigration, toxic relationships, and the exhaustion of trying to be a "superwoman." It's time to prioritize your well-being! It was an honor to hear about your life mission."

Her focus on the power of resilience and the importance of being authentic resonated deeply, offering a unique perspective on how to face personal and professional challenges. Bisila shared experiences and practical tools that motivated me to rethink certain aspects of my life and career.
