What does life as a creative really look like behind the scenes? In this episode, we sit down with actor, writer, director and producer Baz Black to have an honest and open conversation about mental health in the creative industries. Baz shares personal insights into navigating rejection, anxiety and the pressures of an industry where uncertainty and comparison can become part of everyday life. We explore the reality behind the polished version of creative life often presented on social media, and why it's so important to remember that what we see online rarely tells the whole story. We talk about resilience, self-worth, boundaries, and the importance of knowing that you are not alone, particularly during the difficult periods that aren't visible to the outside world. A candid, relatable conversation for anyone working in, aspiring to work in, or simply passionate about the creative world.
