Social Media Burnout: Get Your Energy Back + Be More Creative | Cara Chace

What if burnout is coming from your social media use? In this episode of Well Done, I sit down with burnout coach and author Cara Chace to explore the hidden ways social media can affect our nervous systems, creativity, and overall well-being. After building a successful digital marketing agency and spending years immersed in social media, Cara began experiencing serious health issues that ultimately led her to question whether constant visibility online was quietly taking a toll on her body. Together, we discuss burnout, comparison, creativity, boundaries, and why building a business—or simply living your life—doesn't have to come at the expense of your health.
