You Gotta Hear This! A Podcast for Video Creators & Storytellers

Ep 20 - Spinning Too Many Plates


Listen Later

You’re not lazy. You’re overloaded. If you’re a video creator, storyteller, or creative juggling a dozen tasks at once—editing, invoicing, chasing clients, learning new gear, posting reels while rendering footage—you’re not alone. In this episode, we unpack what’s really behind that nonstop hustle.it’s not a lack of discipline, it’s a lack of clarity.

Spinning Too Many Plates explores the lie we creatives often believe: “If I just hustle harder, I’ll make it.” But more hustle doesn’t always mean more progress—it often means more burnout. I’ll share a personal story that snapped me out of autopilot and helped me start focusing on what really matters.

We’ll talk about: Why creative overload happens. How to recognize which plates are worth spinning. What to stop doing (without feeling guilty). And how to protect your energy so you can create your best work.If you’ve been stretched too thin or feel like you’re running in circles, this episode will help you pause, reset, and start making intentional progress—not just spinning faster.
