The Creator Burnout Crisis Nobody Is Addressing | TV's Shira Lazar | Unknown to Known | S2 Ep. 25

Описание: The creator economy is booming — but so is burnout.

In this powerful episode, Emmy-nominated host and digital media pioneer Shira Lazar joins me to break down the first benchmark Creator Mental Health Study, revealing the emotional, financial, and psychological pressures creators face today.

We discuss the realities behind a half-trillion-dollar industry that continues to grow while its workforce struggles with burnout, anxiety, isolation, and performance-driven self-worth.

Shira and I unpack:
• Why 62% of creators experience burnout
• Why financial instability is the #1 stressor
• Why creators tie their self-worth to content performance
• How professionals entering the creator economy can stay healthy
• The mindset shift experts need to stay visible without losing themselves
• Why creators are the “digital gig workers” of our era
• What the industry must do to protect its workforce
• Why community is key for creator sustainability

This episode is essential listening for experts, authors, executives, and high-stakes communicators preparing to build visibility in 2026 and beyond.
