How I Learned to Balance Contribution with My Own Well-being

Working with Drupal, and open source in general, has been an amazing journey, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. Between constant changes, unpaid contributions, and the pressure to stay involved outside of working hours, I’ve had my share of mental health struggles. In this session, I’ll walk you through my personal experience of finding balance in the fast-paced world of open source. I'll share the challenges I’ve faced, what’s worked for me, and practical strategies you can apply to maintain your own well-being. Whether you're feeling burnt out or just want to find a healthier way to contribute, this session will give you real tools to help you thrive.
