Coping with Burnout Through Creativity and Interior Design with Dr. Nina Polyné and Dr. Taylor Harris - Episode 62

Dr. Nina and Dr. Taylor explore the burnout epidemic, and the systemic barriers to caring for ourselves in meaningful ways. Dr. Taylor shares her own personal experience with burnout, and how it leads to a more creative and meaningful life path, both personally and professionally. They validate the emotional and physical exhaustion we are all feeling as a society, coupled with the lack of motivation to work in jobs that don’t light us up. They explore how creativity can help manage symptoms of burnout, specifically by designing the interior of our homes to reflect our most authentic selves. Dr. Nina and Dr. Taylor are real-life friends, and big music fans, so they discuss their shared interests, and Dr. Taylor offers a few recommended songs to accompany this episode.  Dr. Taylor Harris’ work focuses on improving housing and social services for individuals with experiences of homelessness. She became interested in addressing burnout after experiencing it herself and seeing how it affects homeless service providers. She uses interior design to cope with burnout and to create spaces that help others express themselves and thrive in their work and personal lives.
