In this thought-provoking episode of The Right Brain Café, hosts Regina Saint Claire and James Ippoliti tackle a dilemma plaguing many creative individuals today: the overwhelming pressure to promote their work on social media. While platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok offer unprecedented opportunities to reach a global audience, they also come with a heavy toll on mental health, creativity, and overall well-being.
James and Regina share insights into how constant self-promotion can lead to burnout, stifling the very creativity that drives an artist’s work. They explore how the endless cycle of likes, shares, and algorithms shifts focus from meaningful creation to chasing fleeting online validation. The hosts draw on personal experiences, anecdotes from other artists, and expert advice to discuss practical ways to strike a healthier balance.
Listeners will walk away with strategies to protect their mental health, set boundaries with social media, and return to a mindset where the joy of creating takes center stage. Whether you’re an artist, writer, or musician, this episode will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt the strain of juggling creativity and the constant pull of the digital world.
Don’t miss this candid, compassionate conversation that reminds us all: your art deserves to flourish, and so do you.
