Creative Burnout Recovery: Gentle Boundaries That Protect Your Energy | Jenny Leigh Hodgins on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life

Creativity is not endless output. If you feel drained from giving more than you have, whether or not you call yourself creative, this conversation on burnout recovery and healthy boundaries is for you.

Jenny Leigh Hodgins shares her RESET framework, the power of the pause, and a gentle question: what if enough became your baseline?

About the Guest:
Jenny Leigh Hodgins is a creative empowerment coach, author, poet and podcaster. She has spent over thirty years helping people restore creative energy, set mindful boundaries and rebuild trust in their creative process.

Key Takeaways:

• Creativity has a rhythm: ebb and flow, not constant output.
• Boundaries protect your energy. They are not walls.
• RESET: regular rest, essentials only, stay in your lane, embrace what nurtures you, team support.
• Practice the pause: take a breath, then try “Let me get back to you.”
• Ask yourself: what if enough became my baseline instead of more or perfect?
