Creatives and Their Struggle with Self-Care

For Mental Health Awareness month I had the opportunity to have a great conversation with Mica McCook on her podcast Savory Shot about the importance of self-care for those in creative industries. We had a chance to talk about why creatives might find it difficult to prioritize their mental health and how the continuous demands to produce and innovate in a very vulnerable way can lead to the neglect of one’s well-being. Have a listen, it was a really enjoyable conversation.
