Warû's First Adventure was a day to remember! It was very important for us to gather all those who were supportive to Warû since the start of our journey to say THANK YOU!

Thank you all for sharing your energy and adventurous spirit.

At INDEX 2023, I joined a panel to discuss achieving work-life balance in our fast-paced world. While many prioritize health, I believe time is even more crucial, as it directly impacts our well-being. As a perfectionist, I once tried to plan every hour of my day, but soon realized we’re not machines.
Starting my own business heightened my struggle with work-life balance. I set high standards for myself and often found it hard to practice the self-care I encouraged in my team. I’ve come to view work-life balance as finding harmony among various life aspects, rather than a strict division. Building a business is like raising a child; it disrupts routines but teaches you to adapt over time.
Through self-reflection and learning from others, I’ve recognized that achieving this harmony is personal—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. At INDEX, I shared these insights and emphasized how employers can help their teams find this balance. Thank you to everyone for the enriching discussions!
