The Creative AF podcast is going to dive smack dab into the intersection of creativity and mental health, thus the title… Creative, and F***ed. Now, I say that a little tongue in cheek to an extent but for those of us currently in this space and those of us who have managed to breakout of the space it can hit deep in the double meaning here.
I want this to be a no-holds barred conversation that avoids any sort of work or boss bashing, but really focuses on what we can do as creatives to change the dialog and open up to the fact that this sh*t we do isn’t easy. While working as a creative and especially one in sports is insanely fun, and most of the time rewarding, the downs that come along with the ups are real and legit and no-one can or should tell us otherwise.
I want to talk to you, all of you creatives out there who are silently, or not so silently fighting this struggle with mental health and wellness that undoubtedly we are all fighting. We are all fighting with your own demons, whatever they may be. For many of y’all it’s the burden of being overworked and underpaid. And for some of you it’s the constant feeling that you simply can’t dig out of the hole you are in just to gasp a small breath of air before you dive back down.
I'm here to tell you there is a way to dig yourself out but it will take a concerted effort on your part. 
In this podcast I will talk with many industry leaders in the sports creative world who have learned how to best deal with the daily depression, anxiety and panic that is so prevalant in many of us today. We will cover topics such as compassion fatigue, cognitive dissonance, therapy, medication, communication techniques, toxic relationships, and so much more. 
Thanks for coming along with us on this ride!
