We’ve got to stop glamorizing burnout. We laugh it off, call it a “grind era,” disappear for weeks, and come back saying “LOL sorry I ghosted, was just burnt out!” like it’s a quirky rite of passage. Burnout isn’t cute. It’s not something to normalize. And it’s definitely not proof that you’re doing enough. 💭 Burnout is a signal that you’ve been doing too much for too long without enough care. 💭 It’s your body saying pause. 💭 It’s your creativity begging to be nurtured instead of pushed to the limit. In Episode 11 of For Creators By Lily, I get real about my own experience with burnout. It was the kind that had me questioning everything... I talk about why it happens, what it looks like, and how we actually move through it and protect our energy for the long haul. We’re not meant to be machines. We’re meant to be artists, storytellers, visionaries, humans. So here’s your reminder: You don’t need to earn your rest. You don’t have to apologize for slowing down. You are still a creator, even when you’re not creating. And hustle culture? It’s not the goal. It’s the trap. 🎧 Ep 11: Burnout Is Real drops Friday, July 25. Mark your calendar.
