We usually think of burnout as a state of total collapse, but it can be much more subtle and sneak up without you even noticing, especially for those of us in creative fields where our work is so intimately important to us. Most musicians and artists have experienced it at some point, to some degree (including me).

I walk you through the 12 stages of burnout and share how many of the symptoms are behaviors rewarded by the culture of toxic productivity, how they can impact your creative work, and, most importantly, the key to breaking the cycle of overwork!
