CIRCLE DESCRIPTION
Ready to level up your creative journey?
Join us for a workshop designed specifically for aspiring, junior, and early-career game devs and animators. We’ll tackle the unique challenges of your creative career—from managing stress and avoiding burnout to conquering impostor syndrome and navigating setbacks with confidence
Together, we’ll dive into the art of balancing work and life, building self-compassion to deal with the inner critic, and discovering healthier habits to fuel growth. We’ll openly discuss what we’re going through at work and explore ways to break through emotional barriers that block our progress. You’ll leave with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a supportive community of creatives who truly get it.
It’s time to recharge, reconnect with your passion, and unlock the mindset you need to thrive—not just survive—on your journey. Let’s level up our well-being!
