Ep. 092: Your Animated Life Part 7 – Your Health with Lauren Krieger

Everyone wants to be healthy and practice good habits, but the animation industry is rife with stories of people not sleeping, not taking care of mental and emotional health and subsisting on ramen and candy. These are habits many of us pick up in school and carry with us throughout our career. For our final installment of the Your Animated Life miniseries, storyboard revisionist and returning guest Lauren Krieger shares her experiences and we discuss different ways to stay healthy – from seeking support groups and professionals to changing habits to shifting how we view our priorities, culture and success. Enjoy (and get more sleep – your body will thank you!)
