I Use Human Design to Rethink Burnout and Self-Care

You've tried the self-care advice. Take a break. Set boundaries. Get more sleep. Maybe even book a vacation. But you're still exhausted. In this video, I'm talking about why traditional self-care advice doesn't always work for burnout, especially for therapists, caregivers, helping professionals, and people who spend their days taking care of everybody else. I'm also sharing why I use Human Design as a lens to think differently about energy, rest, decision-making, and the demands we put on ourselves. We're getting into: Why one-size-fits-all self-care misses the mark The role of chronic stress and emotional labor Why work-life balance isn't always a useful goal How Human Design Type, Strategy, Authority, and open centers can help you reflect on your patterns Why burnout isn't always something you can fix with another personal habit Human Design isn't a medical treatment or a proven method of preventing burnout. I use it as a personal reflection tool alongside my experience as a therapist. If you've been doing all the things you're supposed to do to take care of yourself and you're still running on empty, this conversation is for you.
