Ep: 36 Creative Burnout Is Real—Here’s How I Recover

April 21, 2026 • Leigha T. Porter

Burnout isn’t weakness. It’s information.

In this video, I talk honestly about creative burnout—how it shows up, why it happens, and what recovery actually looks like beyond just “taking a break.”

We’ll talk about:
✅ The signs of creative burnout that often get ignored
✅ Why creatives burn out emotionally, not just physically
✅ The boundaries I’ve set to protect my energy
✅ How recovery requires adjustment, not quitting

If you’ve been feeling drained or disconnected from your work, this video will help you reframe what you’re experiencing.
