The challenges of the past year have undeniably left us grappling with uncertainty, and as the world continues to navigate the pandemic, burnout has emerged as a prevalent concern for many. If you've found yourself on the brink of exhaustion, struggling to cope, you're not alone. The need for resilience and well-being has never been more crucial.
For creatives, the pandemic has disrupted the customary flow of inspiration, replacing it with a roller coaster of emotions fueled by work stress, isolation, and the ongoing pandemic reality. In this conversation, we'll explore the fine line between stress and burnout—understanding the factors that differentiate the two and the ways in which they manifest in our lives.

Ladies*, Wine** & Design is a global non-profit initiative with chapters in 280 cities worldwide. Jessica Walsh started LW&D after she realized that sometimes peers can be competitive or unsupportive of one another. Only a small percentage of creative directors are women or non-binary, and LW&D wants to help change this through mentorship circles, portfolio reviews, talks & creative meetups.
*Our space is inclusive of all women, non-binary, agender, and gender non-conforming people. Self-definition is at the sole discretion of that individual. If you feel you could benefit from a space meant for people who do not identify as cis men to share ideas and collaborate, you are welcome. **Alcohol is entirely optional; you can drink tea, coffee, or whatever you like!
