How To Protect Your Mental Health As a Content Creator

Whether you're creating content for your own business, managing social media for someone else, or building your brand full-time, there’s this constant pressure to be “on.” To perform. To grow. To beat the algorithm. And when your hard work gets… crickets? Or worse — you get hit with harsh criticism from strangers on the internet? It’s enough to make anyone question if it’s worth it. In this episode, I’m going to walk you through how to manage your mental health as a content creator — even when you're not getting the results you want, even when you're stuck in the comparison trap, and even when it feels like you're on a constant hamster wheel just trying to keep up.

 

In this episode, you will learn:

• How to stay resilient when your content isn’t performing the way you hoped
• Why comparison, criticism, and algorithm-chasing can sabotage your mental health — and what to do instead
• Practical mindset shifts and boundaries that help you stay grounded and intentional in your content creation journey
