I think I'm burned out but terrified to admit it, especially as someone others look up to. How do you take a break without it feeling like failure?

My thing is that I always remember that I’m not at my best if I’m burned out. Thus, I can’t give my best in ways I want to. So taking a rest benefits me and everyone else. Put yourself first

Prioritizing self-care and time to recharge is not an overnight thing; it’s a process and you’ll need to set some time aside just for you, even if you need to spread it over the course of weeks or months. There’s no failure in recharging, and plenty of artists take sabbaticals for a reason.

If you could change anything to increase minority representation in marketing, what would you change? I think I'd want at least 2-3 minority employees in creative leadership positions to make sure things like colorism in ads less likely to pass the final edit.
