The Healthy Hustle: Boundaries, Burnout & Building a Career That Lasts

Creative careers are full of passion, but also pressure. Too often, creatives are pushed to overwork, undercharge, and sacrifice wellbeing for the sake of “making it.”

This workshop is for freelancers, emerging artists, and creative professionals who want to protect their energy, assert their value, and resist the toxic hustle culture that dominates the industry.

Led by Andrew Macklin, founder of Boundless Careers and a qualified career coach & practitioner, this session draws on Social Justice Career Theory, Work as Calling research, and Resonance Theory to help you reclaim your time, power, and peace.

You'll learn practical tools for navigating exploitation, negotiating fair pay, and creating work-life balance—while supporting systemic change in the sector.

• Are you ready to push back against burnout culture?

• Do you want strategies to set boundaries and sustain your passion?

• Discover how to build a creative life that’s healthy, fair, and deeply resonant.
