If you love making art but worry that turning it into a career will burn you out, you’re not dramatic. You’re aware.
Because there is a lot to do when you start taking your art seriously. Even as a side hustle. Even as a part-time dream. It can feel like a tidal wave of tasks, expectations, and noise.
And here’s the truth I want you to hear in your bones:
You don’t need to work harder.
You need to protect your energy.
Hustle culture is built on output and productivity, but creatives run on intuition, sensitivity, and joy. When you’re depleted, your work gets flat, your studio gets avoided, and suddenly you’re scrolling instead of creating.
This episode is a permission slip and a strategy session rolled into one. We’re talking about how to design a sustainable art career around your actual rhythms, not someone else’s grind.
I talk about depletion in a more useful way than “burnout”. Burnout is the end result. Depletion is the daily drain that leads you there.
Signs you’re depleted:
Most people try to keep giving as long as there’s anything left in the cup. But artists need to give from the overflow, from the saucer. That’s where the good stuff lives.
And in this episode, we’re talking about how you can fill your cup to overflowing.
We’ll also discuss:
Success doesn’t come from constant output. It’s about loving the work again. Feeling spaciousness, joy, and choice instead of desperation.
Until next time, y’all!
