Welcome to the finale of Season 1 of the "There's Something about Archviz" Podcast!
In order to celebrate the first year of the podcast, I wanted to shuffle things a little bit. First of all, I conceived this episode with Georgi Lechtarski from The Creative Insider podcast, who is also going to co-host and mirror this episode on his podcast.
As for the episode... well, you've probably already guessed it by now, this time I'll be the guest of my own podcast! So, what are we going to talk about?
In August 2021, I hopped on the virtual stage of D2 Conferences, where I delivered a talk on the topic of mental health in our industry. This is something that involves me directly, as I suffered from burnout and depression connected to the work that I do. However, mental ill-being issues are more common than we want to tell ourselves in our industry, so I'm trying to spread awareness on the topic through my experience.
In today's episode, I delve a bit deeper into my experience with burnout and depression, how I realized I was going through a difficult time in my life, and why things were like that. I describe what were the manifestations of this ill-being, and how perfectionism and social media played into that. Finally, I also talk about how I fought back and what I learned in the process. Just a final word: all we're saying in this episode is not meant to be medical advice. Our experiences will most likely be different, and if you're going through a hard time in your life, I encourage you to consult a doctor and plan the best course of action for you.
If you feel like reaching out and sharing your experience, write me at podcast@bigpicturevisual.com I'm always happy when people talk openly about mental health in our field, that's the only way we can change things in a tangible way.
