Creative burnout, exhaustion & pressure to always create #110

from Stitching Tales

What happens when the thing you used to enjoy doing starts feeling like dread? Because burnout and exhaustion often creep up on us, and can be hard to nip in the bud.In this candid conversation, Johanna and Malena talk about their own experiences with burnout, losing motivation, and what happens when a hobby, passion, or creative business no longer feels inspiring. Because even something you genuinely love can become emotionally draining when there’s pressure to create, produce, improve, or keep up constantly.They also offer practical advice grounded in both their own experience and science-backed strategies. But of course, that doesn't mean they have it all figured out; in fact, Johanna reveals that she still has some questionable work habits, so do as she says, not as she does!
