Real talk: Burnout, imposter syndrome and taking time to care for the soul – because you matter most

Recording from the 2022 Perspectives Conference

The conversation brought together four content designers who shared their personal experiences with burnout and imposter syndrome, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, understanding personal limitations, and seeking support from colleagues and mentors in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance in the demanding field of content design.

Throughout the panel, various practical strategies for combating burnout were explored, such as time management, setting boundaries, and differentiating between tasks that demand our best efforts and those that don’t. Panelists also highlighted the significance of mental and physical well-being, advocating for therapy as a valuable resource for self-reflection and growth. Their stories underscored the value of self-care and fostering a supportive work environment in order to achieve both professional and personal success.
