How To Deal With Burnout
Burnout in the Studio: How to Spot It, Beat It, and Stay Creative
Even the most passionate creatives can hit a wall. In this heartfelt and highly practical episode, Chris & Jody dive headfirst into the all-too-familiar beast: burnout.
Whether you’re mixing late into the night, producing back-to-back tracks, or just trying to stay inspired in your home studio, burnout can sneak up on anyone. Chris & Jody share their personal experiences with creative fatigue and offer up real-world tactics to recognize, manage, and ultimately prevent it—both in the moment and over the long haul.
From refreshing your workflow and finding joy again in gear, to shifting mindsets and building sustainable studio habits, this episode is packed with honest insight, useful strategies, and the kind of humor only two seasoned pros can deliver.
Of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without a fresh round of Friday Finds and the elusive Gold Star word of the week—so stick around to level up your mindset and your gear game.
Hit play, take a breath, and remind yourself: it’s okay to pause—just don’t stop.
