CREATIVE FACE A UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ONGOING
🔥 Our work involves repetition of intense emotional investment which can easily lead to burnout.
🔥 Creative work is subject to constant public scrutiny and criticism, which feeds our imposter syndrome.
🔥 The pressure of being “creative-on-demand” to make tight deadlines fuels our ongoing creative anxiety.
🔥 We can set abnormally high execution standards, creating unhealthy perfectionist patterns.
🔥 The creative process often requires solitude and deep focus, which can lead to isolation.
🔥 Creatives career paths are not present in many companies, which can contribute to career disempowerment.
🔥 Creatives have higher rates of neurodivergent thinking, which causes frustration with standard corporate processes.
🔥 Our profession overlaps with our personal identity, setting us up for intense professional grief when our work status is disrupted.

I've been there. I know what happens to our careers when we ignore our professional mental health and let our creative minds go dark...
We stop trying.
We avoid growing.
We sell our capabilities short.
We give away our earning power.
We allow people to disrespect us.
We disconnect from others in our industry.
We stay stuck in situations that are bad for us.
We feel hopeless, fearful, and exhausted.
We slowly and methodically lose our creative energy & spark.
