Mental Health Series: Work/Life Balance

BONUS EPISODE (Part 2 of 3) – Now that we’re acquainted with Backline, for our second part of our Mental Health Series we talk about work/life balance with Hallie Lincoln, Co-founder and Director of Case Management for Backline. Hallie talks about their case management program, where they provide 1 on 1 assistance for all sides of the industry where a mental health professional will get them connected with resources or providers. They have over 600 providers (therapists and coaches) in all 50 states. We discuss common challenges that face people in live events around balancing a hectic but fun work life with a social life, family, and friends outside of work. Hallie gives us insight into some trends and challenges they see with live event professionals they support, such as an increase in burnout – and how hopes for a more balanced and supportive industry post-pandemic haven’t panned out in many ways, with more events and more pressure being packed into tours. She highlights some solutions they have found to be successful, such as creating routines and goals. Our hosts talk through some of their own challenges and ones they’ve observed with peers and Hallie gives great tips for how to approach certain situations and advocate for better balance in the workplace. Hear about the advice and many resources that Backline offers people to help tackle and improve their work/life balance, such as their new Touring Notebook.“Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.” – Dolly PartonBackline: Website | Facebook | Twitter/X | Instagram | LinkedInPlease note: The Case Management program has eligibility requirements.
