From Burnout to Brushstrokes: Reclaiming Creativity for High Achievers

In this episode Dr. Katie interviews Lexi Reed, founder of The Mind Art Wellness, about why creativity is essential for high-achieving people — especially women in STEM — facing stress and burnout. Lexi shares her own burnout story from the pandemic and how simple, non‑intimidating creative practices helped her nervous system reset. She explains the rationale behind a proactive, forward-facing creative wellness model (her 12‑week Creative Reset), contrasts coaching and group work, and gives tangible exercises—pen-and-paper visual journaling, mandalas, and timed breathing drawings—to help listeners loosen perfectionism, build boundaries, and regain time and joy.Find out more about about Lexi at www.mindartwellness.com[Maximum Uplift] by Dylan Field Perese.
