43. How Can I Get Over Burnout? With Connor Franta

It’s hard to find someone these days who isn’t experiencing some
degree of burnout. Connor Franta hit the proverbial wall after
years of sharing parts of his life with his millions of social
media followers. But there was one huge part of himself he kept a
secret not only from his followers, but also from his friends and
family. Connor tells Claire what it meant to find a supportive
community online, how it felt to publicly come out on YouTube in
2014, and how he’s adjusted his social media use in order to
combat burnout. Plus, Connor reads a poem from his latest book,
“House Fires.”
