Navigating Creativity and Mental Health with Joe Rivera.

Joe is a cartoonist based out of Greenville, South Carolina.

In this episode, we explore playful topics such as Dungeons and Dragons, childhood memories, and storytelling. We also dive into more heartfelt and vulnerable ideas like creative doubts, mental health, and belonging.

Although we’ve been Instagram buds for some time now, this was my first time formally meeting Joe. I really enjoyed discussing some of the similar thought processes that we go through. I also appreciate how open he is about the struggles of burnout and balancing your passion with daily life. I feel like it’s something that all of us deal with in some shape or form, so a lot of the things we chatted about really resonated with me and I hope it does the same for you.

Enjoy the episode.
