Creator Burnout Lessons On Compassion & Essentialism From Kristin Neff And Greg McKeown
I was asked a great question today. How do we prevent stress and reduce the mental load we face as content creators? I answered this using my own strategies. I also used research from Greg McKeown on Essentialism and secrets from Kristin Neff's work on Self Compassion that is so important.

Show Notes
In today’s solo episode I’ll talk about reducing stress as a content creator.
I recorded an interview today and Taylin Simmonds, a real leader in the creator space, asked me what I would do to help someone reduce the mental load of being a content creator?
It’s funny to get a question like this because I’ve battled my whole life with anxiety and suicidal ideation. Heck, I’m feeling it a bit while I write this. When it gets really bad, depression creeps in, but that is very rare in the last 15 years.
Suicidal thoughts creep in, but I have minimal fear of any harm. I’m able to laugh at these intrusive thoughts.
Anxiety cursors begin, but rarely, rarely develop into panic attacks.
So, I wanted to share the punchline with you first: the struggle to figure this out is what connects us as human beings.
Now, I’ll elaborate because there are a few other things I’ve learned that can help us live with less stress in the creator economy. But honestly, that line may be all you need.
