A 2019 poll found that children would rather be YouTubers than astronauts. But is the Influencer lifestyle as idyllic as it’s cracked up to be? 

Being a content creator can be extremely fulfilling – there’s the creative freedom, ability to explore your passions, and not being confined to the regiments of the corporate world. However, with any career comes a web of challenges and realities that often remain hidden from the public eye.

Digital Voices is hosting a webinar where our panelists will uncover the unfiltered truth, discussing the toll that negativity can take on mental health and self-esteem, from hate comments, to gossip forums and the loneliness that can stem from what is often an introverted career. 

Content creators Megan Short, David Larbi, Tasha Bailey, and Max Selwood will reveal their personal stories as specialists in wellness content, sharing how for them, mental health and content creation go hand in hand. 

We will also hear from Louis Collenette, Senior Digital Content Officer at the charity Young Minds who will share:

• Advice for both brands and creators on how to respond to hate comments
• What brands can do better to support creators’ mental health
• How to manage burnout
• Tips on how to nurture your mental health when working in the creative industry.  

Whether you're a creator yourself, work with influencers, or you’re simply curious about the dynamics of online fame, join us to uncover the truth about influencers’ experiences with mental health, and explore the initiatives that seek to make a positive impact.
