Creative burnout is a normal part of the artistic process that happens to everyone, so let's talk about it!
Episode Topics:
- Nina Simone faced industry pressures and racism that repeatedly led to burnout, requiring her to step away and reclaim her artistry on her own terms
- Recognizing our personal patterns helps identify when burnout is approaching and what strategies work best for our individual creative processes
- Burnout differs significantly from laziness or procrastination—it occurs when we pour too much into our creativity without refilling our own cup
- Taking intentional breaks and engaging in non-creative hobbies provides essential mental space for renewal
- "Micro-creativity" activities like journaling, doodling, and mind mapping offer low-pressure ways to maintain creative practice during burnout
- Physical self-care through sleep, movement, and nutrition forms the foundation of sustainable creativity
- Content consumption matters—choose inspiration over comparison to protect your unique creative voice
