How to Create Community and Learn How to PLAY Again with Tali Dee, Ph.D. [Ep. 4]
listen on spotify, apple, and more! Here’s what you can expect from this episode:
Are you comfortable making BAD art? It might be the antidote to burnout! Today I’m chatting with Tali Dee, a former therapist who went from helping clients through creative burnout, to experiencing it herself.
After burnout manifested in physical symptoms that sent her to the hospital, Tali knew it was time to take a leave of absence. And in that time away, she’s realized the absolute necessity of centering creativity in our lives.
And we’re not just talking about “I’ll get to that creative practice once I’m in a better place” but actually using that creative practice as the bridge to that better place. We’re also diving deep into community. If you feel like it’s been hard to create a sense of community ever since the pandemic began, you’re not alone.
So what does it take? Does adulthood mean that we’re always going to have to deal with a paywall to meet new people? Or can we take matters into our own hands?
I hope this episodes leaves you feeling inspired to go pick up that blank canvas that’s been sitting in the corner for months. You deserve it! And if you’re in the throes of burnout, check out the resources Tali has to offer below!

Tali’s experience with burnout
Why you should de-prioritize external values when moving through burnout

If you felt moved by this episode, leave a review with a very long personal story about you alchemized grief. I'm just kidding, you don't have to do that (but I would read it if you did and I would give you a little virtual forehead kiss).
