Ep. 199 | Human Design and Burnout | The Cost of Pushing Through
Play the Episode
Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s often a sign you’re building a business that was never
designed to honour YOU.
In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson breaks down why building your business according
to your Human Design isn’t just a “nice-to-have,” but the only sustainable way she’s found, after more than 30 years of entrepreneurship, to avoid burnout entirely.
Using a powerful real-life case study of a 6/2 Manifestor in deep burnout, Vickie walks you through how
ignoring your natural energy rhythms eventually catches up to you; in your sales, your launches, your health, and your creativity.
This episode is a call to stop forcing yourself to work the way the online world demands,
and start honouring how you’re actually designed to operate, lead, rest, and create impact.
If things that used to sell easily are suddenly stalling…
If your body feels exhausted but your mind keeps pushing…
If you’re questioning whether you can keep going the way you have been…
This conversation will land.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why burnout is a design problem, not a mindset problem
How Manifestors burn out by pushing through instead of honouring rest cycles
What a “closed” (self-contained) aura actually means for Manifestors in business
Why launches and sales stop converting when your energy is depleted
How ignoring your creative flow eventually impacts your health
The hidden conditioning behind overworking, especially with a defined Will
Why many 6-line profiles feel like they’re failing before stepping into legacy
How pre-selling legacy work can create space for rest and recovery
Why the most magnetic offers right now are built your way, not the algorithm’s
The early signs your business is asking you to slow down — before your body forces it
Key Takeaway:
You are the engine of your business. If you run yourself into the ground, the entire system collapses. Human Design isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing what actually works for your energy so you can create impact without burning out again.
Your business should support your life — not consume it.
