In this eleventh class in the “Navigate the Creative Wilderness” series, “Tips to Prevent the Bog of Burnout,” you will learn how to prevent and recover from burnout to move forward on your creative wilderness journey with more ease, calm, and energy. You will learn that while burnout is a normal experience to encounter in the creative wilderness, it does not need to be the norm.

This class is the eleventh episode in the “Navigate the Creative Wilderness” series. I recommend starting with the first class in the series, “5 Tools to Cultivate Confidence,” but feel free to jump into any class in the series and go in the order that makes the most sense for your journey.

Throughout the entirety of this series, you can expect to learn actionable tips to implement on your path to cultivate more confidence in your creative intuition, overcome the fear of unknowns, build support with a creative community, stay consistent with your practice, and celebrate your successes.

Hi! I'm Liz, your trail guide and buddy out here in the Creative Wilderness! I dove deep into the Creative Wilderness when I started my business, Prints & Plants, in 2017.

Since starting my business, I have worked as an educator and licensed artist with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, crafted a mural for an international social media firm, created brands and illustrations for multiple businesses, and become a Top Teacher on Skillshare.

It has been a *winding* journey to get to where I am now, and I know it will continue to evolve and shift over time!

That’s why now, I am so excited to share my field notes from the Creative Wilderness with you in this series in the hopes that it helps you navigate the highs, the lows, and the unknowns of your unique path.
