WHAT IS BURNOUT?
Burnout happens when the demands placed on your mind and body outweigh the resources you have to recover. On tour this builds fast. Long travel days, inconsistent sleep, pressure to perform, and the constant push to be “on” create a level of stress your system simply isn’t designed to handle nonstop. Over time your energy tanks, your mood shifts, your immune system weakens, and even the things you normally love start feeling heavy.
For artists this isn’t about laziness or lack of grit. It’s a physiological and emotional overload that shows up as exhaustion, irritability, brain fog, gut issues, low motivation, and feeling disconnected from the work you normally thrive in. It’s your body’s way of saying the load needs to be supported differently so you can stay stable, creative, and strong on the road so you can continue to do the work that you love. Burnout is one of the biggest threats to show consistency, career longevity and mental health for touring artists, but with the right systems in place it doesn’t have to be.
