The Cost of Influence: Addressing Creator Mental Health

May was Mental Health Awareness Month. In honor of this, we wanted to talk about creator burnout—what’s causing it, and how we can help make the industry a healthier and more positive place. Based on a survey of 160+ influencers, creative burnout and feelings of stress, anxiety, and pressure are on the rise.

According to the survey, 73% of creators say that Creative Burnout regularly negatively impacts their mental well-being.

How can you best manage your mental health? With many top influencers leaving Instagram or choosing to quit altogether, we wanted to have a conversation with mental health professionals and influencers to address how pervasive these feelings are in the influencer space.
