From Burnout to breakthrough: My Journey With Human Design
If you're feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from your purpose, or stuck in cycles of burnout despite doing "everything right," you're not alone.
As a mental health & art therapist turned Human Design coach, I’ve lived this experience — and it wasn’t until Human Design found me that things finally began to shift.
In a recent podcast episode on That Was The Moment…, I shared the raw story behind my transformation. Below are the key insights that helped me break free—and that might help you, too.
🚨 Living in Burnout Can Feel Like a Normal Life
For years, I ignored the warning signs of burnout. I was successful on paper — thriving in my therapy practice, constantly giving to others — but inside, I felt depleted and emotionally distant from myself.
I now understand this as a classic misalignment with my energy type: I’m a Projector, and I was operating like a Generator, overextending myself in ways that were unsustainable.
My sharing this journey underscores the importance of self-discovery and the transformative power of Human Design. By understanding and honoring our unique designs, we can lead more authentic and fulfilling lives.
💡 Human Design: The Blueprint That Changed Everything
When I dove into Human Design, it was like being handed a permission slip to be who I actually am.
I learned that Projectors thrive in spacious, intimate settings (especially 1:1) — not in the hustle culture I had been trapped in. Understanding my energy blueprint helped me reset my boundaries and shift how I approached work, relationships, and rest.
🧠 Emotional Intelligence: From Suppressed to Superpower
Another game-changer was reframing my emotional depth as a gift, not a burden. As someone with an Emotional Authority, I had long resisted my feelings, labeling them as “too much” and trying to control my up’s and down’s.
Now, I see emotional intelligence as one of my greatest assets—not only in decision-making, but in supporting my clients to navigate their own emotional landscapes.
🔄 Deconditioning: The Path Back to Self
So much of the healing journey is about deconditioning — unlearning the beliefs, behaviors, and societal standards that never belonged to us in the first place. Honoring who we truly are and letting go of all we are not.
Whether it’s perfectionism, people-pleasing, or pushing past your body’s signals, deconditioning through the lens of Human Design allows you to come back to the truth of who you are.
🌱 Ready to Reconnect with Your Truth?
You don’t have to stay stuck in burnout or misalignment. Human Design isn’t just a system — it’s a tool for emotional sovereignty, energetic stewardship, conscious relationships, and an aligned life.
If this resonated, I invite you to explore your own design. It could be the first step toward the peace and fulfillment you’ve been craving.
