Press Send With Chinae Alexander

On this week’s episode of Press Send, I’m joined by creative activist and host of The Uncomfortable Podcast, Dom Roberts. Listen along as we dive into discussion on how to deal with burnout, the gray area that is cancel culture, talking about tricky topics on the internet, the importance of regularly checking in with yourself, and the idea that personal progress can sometimes look like regression from an outside perspective, but it’s progress nonetheless.    Produced by Dear Media
