The Cost of Showing Up Happy: Burnout and the Wisdom of Asking for Help

Moderated by: KEYC's Kelsey Barchenger.

As the implacably happy, beloved host of Nickelodeon’s Blue’s Clues, Steve Burns was the guy who sang, danced, and cheerfully bolstered your self-esteem. What you don’t know is that he was doing so with undiagnosed severe clinical depression. What is the cost of forcing joy? How can one maintain peak-level achievement and be completely burned out at the same time? And once it’s all over, how do you re-engage with your own life when the tank is completely empty? Steve Burns shares lessons from his struggles as the Happiest Depressed Person in North America and learns to personally take the messages he gave to an entire generation.
