Being a travel content creator seems like a dream job—freedom, creativity, and exploring the world on your own terms. But what’s the reality when mental health struggles are part of the journey? In this honest reflection, I pull back the curtain on my path from corporate burnout to building a career in travel content creation. I share the highs, the struggles, and the mental toll that comes with juggling blogging, social media, brand partnerships, and more. Plus, I talk about how trends in the industry can impact mental health, why I’m shifting my podcast schedule, and what I wish more creators knew. If you’re navigating this path or just curious about the behind-the-scenes reality, this episode is for you.
