The Creative Reset: Finding Inspiration When Life is Overwhelming


Listen Later

Feeling burned out and struggling to find your creative spark again? You’re not alone. In this episode of Creative Moms Focus, Samantha and Jessica open up about the realities of burnout as photographers — and the intentional resets that helped them reconnect with their creativity.

They share personal stories, from taking a painting class at a local arts center to stepping out of their comfort zones at a retreat (including one surprising role behind the camera!). You’ll hear how they recognized the warning signs of burnout—like procrastination, lack of inspiration while editing, and exhaustion after photoshoots—and what steps they took to create space for rest, rejuvenation, and new inspiration.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • The most common signs of creative burnout and how to spot them early.

  • Why stepping away from your camera (and your phone!) can actually make you a stronger photographer.

  • Simple, restorative practices to reignite your inspiration—like embroidery, music, books, walks, or bubble baths.

  • How connecting with other creatives outside your industry can spark fresh ideas.

  • The importance of building “white space” into your schedule as an entrepreneur.

If you’ve been feeling uninspired or overwhelmed, this conversation is your reminder that rest isn’t wasted time—it’s fuel for your creativity.

We’d love to know: What’s helped you reset and find inspiration lately? Share it with us on social media or send us a message—we’d love to feature your ideas in a future episode. And if you know another photographer or creative who needs this reminder, please pass this episode along!
