S2 EP.2 Creative Burnout

Season 2 · Episode 2

Wednesday, March 15, 2023 • Duration 46:48

Introducing... Matt! Matt finally made his podcast debut this week to chat about Teal Triggs' recent research and project Brave New Normal: Intergenerational Mentoring + Women in Graphic Design, his experiences in the industry so far, and to discuss burnout in the creative sector.

Following International Women's Day, we delved into Teal Triggs research: which uncovered that 79% of women in the creative sectors had left the industry—could this be because women in the creative industry feel unheard, undervalued, and not respected?

As the work and life boundaries become ever more blurred as more and more people begin to work from home, Matt spoke to us about his experience with a poor work/life balance and how he prevents falling back into that habit now. The Yoots of Reddit spoke about their experiences with burnout in the creative industry—we read out the best comments on this episode, but you can read the other 94 comments talking about what made them burn out and how to prevent it here.

We also learned some new Polish words courtesy of Archie and his trip to Warsaw. Cieszyć się!

Ep.8 Know Your Worth

Season 2 · Episode 1

Wednesday, March 8, 2023 • Duration 36:51

We're back for season 2 of Ginger Yoots podcast!

This ep is a recap of the Creative Futures event: find out what design students were asking about the industry, and what their biggest concerns about becoming a professional creative were. We found out at this event that aspiring creatives struggle most with pricing their work (especially as freelancers!), so we're also discussing the ins and outs of pricing work—and why you should never work for exposure!

Upcoming in next week's episode is mental health in the creative industry: if you want to have your say, head to Reddit to join the conversation! We'll be reading your comments out during the ep.
