Making the Changes to Ease Burnout - With Timna Tarr

About this episode

Timna Tarr returns to discuss her strategies for easing burnout through teaching modifications and creative exploration.

#073 - Timna joins the podcast again to talk about some of the things she’s done to help ease the burnout she was feeling a couple of years ago. She re-evaluated how she does her teaching, and modified the WHERE to give her schedule some much needed space. We also talk about the value of playing with artistic media that is not fabric-related to shake out new ideas, and to just have some fun. It can’t just be all work, all the time!
