40. Speaking on Creative Burnout

As we come to a close on Mental Health Awareness Month this May, we figured it's time to acknowledge the elephant in the room - burnout. Unfortunately, it's something way too many of us creatives are all too familiar with, especially these days. To lead this much-needed conversation, mentee Ruby Nicholson speaks with fellow mentee Kayla Hunt and licensed Clinical Psychologist Dr. Kristie Norwood on maintaining wellness. From managing chaotic emotions to overwhelming social media feeds, this episode is a great reminder of how important it is for us creatives to know when we must choose ourselves.
