Hello, burnout. We meet again, I see you, I feel you, and I thank you.
Picture a match. You’re holding it in your hand, maybe lighting candles on a cake, maybe lighting a fire, but you’re holding and it’s getting closer and closer to your finger. You want to keep going, just one more candle! But the flame is getting hotter so your heart rate goes up and you move faster to the next candle and your fingers begin to hurt, and then
It’s too late.
You got burned.
You drop the match and kiss your fingertips and feel so silly and also OUCH!
That is burnout.
Burnout is deeply painful, but it is often a result of growth (often, growing too fast). We allow ego to hop in and take charge -- which leads us to say "I can do that!" waaay too often.
But there are some benefits to burnout too. It acts as an irrefutable reminder that I do not need to please everyone and solving all problems. To stop holding pain and worry. It is a reminder that I do not need to show up in every way and to rely on my support structure.
Burnout clearly let me know that I was allowing anxiety to be my first response, rather than trusting that everything will be fine. It is a clear, loud sign that I was NOT OPERATING WITHIN MY VALUES
Burnout can be a generous gift -- a moment of course correction before it's too late.
And when you heal from burnout, oh life is so sweet. IF you have actively and carefully healed and set up some boundaries, the upsides of burnout can be:
— energy
— hard truths
— realignment
— honesty
— asking for help
— accepting help
— losing the absurd idea that you can or should do it all
— a deeper love for what matters
— humility
— healing
The sweetest thing about burnout is it requires you to be honest with your limits
It allows you to pay attention. And attention is the clearest doorway to gratitude.

I have a treat for you today! I recorded a conversation with my pal Laurie Anne Gonzalez about creating PRINTS!
- Photograph or scan?
- In-house printing or out-sourced printing?
- Canvas or paper?
- Limited edition or open edition?
- How do I get the right file size?
- What kind of camera or scanner should I use?
- Do prints devalue your work?
We get into ALL THE QUESTIONS.
Prints have been a huge source of revenue for my business and I would absolutely NOT have the healthy studio I do today without offering reproductions of my work.
If you're ready to begin or grow this part of your studio practice, I highly recommend Art To Print. Laurie Anne takes you through each and every step of the process -- from easel to print to packaging. It is a thorough, clear, and insightful course and I know it's going to change your business!
Sign up for Art To Print HERE.
Also, THE COLLECTIVE opens for enrollment on Monday! August 24th - 31st. JOIN US. This space is designed to help creatives and artists thrive. Learn more HERE.
