Unjaded: Human Design for Intentional Entrepreneurs

199 Human Design and Burnout | The Cost of Pushing Through

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: 1. Why burnout is a design problem, not a mindset problem 2. How Manifestors burn out by pushing through instead of honouring rest cycles 3. What a “closed” (self-contained) aura actually means for Manifestors in business 4. Why launches and sales stop converting when your energy is depleted 5. How ignoring your creative flow eventually impacts your health 6. The hidden conditioning behind overworking, especially with a defined Will 7. Why many 6-line profiles feel like they’re failing before stepping into legacy 8. How pre-selling legacy work can create space for rest and recovery 9. Why the most magnetic offers right now are built your way, not the algorithm’s 10. 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.

198. Building a Sustainable Online Business Without Chasing the Next High

What if the real way entrepreneurs sabotage their businesses isn’t when things aren’t working — but when they finally are? In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie Dickson breaks down a pattern she sees over and over again in online business: abandoning the very foundations that create stability once momentum starts to build. As sales become steadier and systems begin to work, many entrepreneurs get restless, bored, or convinced something must be wrong because it feels “too easy.” The result? They burn it down, rewrite offers, rebuild funnels, and start from scratch — again. Vickie calls this out for what it really is: not failure, not laziness, not lack of alignment — but nervous system protection mixed with unrealistic expectations about ease, excitement, and sustainability in online business. This episode is a grounded, honest conversation about building the skeleton of your business — the unsexy systems that keep working even when motivation dips, creativity wanes, or your emotional wave is low. If you’re in the in-between phase — where things are working but not explosively yet — this episode will help you stay the course instead of sabotaging what you’ve worked so hard to build. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE: 1. Why entrepreneurs often sabotage momentum after success starts 2. What Vickie means by the “skeleton” or “spine” of a sustainable business 3. The difference between ease and easy when it comes to making money online 4. Why low-ticket offers, email sequences, and follow-up matter more than launches 5. How Manifesting Generators often chase novelty and burn down working systems 6. Why boredom, restlessness, or itchiness can be signs your business is stabilizing 7. The danger of rebuilding offers instead of driving traffic to what already works 8. How consistency, repetition, and time actually create sustainable income 9. Why “passive income” is a misleading idea — and what steady income really requires 10. How to keep growing your business without breaking your life KEY TAKEAWAY: When your business starts to feel steady instead of exciting, that doesn’t mean something is wrong — it means something is finally working. Sustainable businesses aren’t built on adrenaline. They’re built on foundations that keep running even when the novelty wears off. Don’t burn down the structure that’s holding you just because you’re bored. LINKS AND RESOURCES: 1.

This episode of Unjaded is a must-listen for Generators and Manifesting Generators who know their Human Design—but still don’t actually know how to use their sacral. Vickie Dickson breaks down, in real-world language, what sacral response actually feels like in the body, why it’s been conditioned out of most people, and how to retrain yourself to trust it again. She busts common myths, explains why overthinking kills magnetism, and walks through simple, practical ways to “tone” your sacral so it can do what it’s designed to do: guide you toward the right work, decisions, opportunities, and people. This isn’t theory. This is lived experience—especially for emotional authority Generators who’ve been taught to second-guess their gut.

How to use yes/no questions to retrain your sacral response 6. The difference between mental decision-making and embodied response 7. How emotional authority interacts with sacral response 8. Why excitement isn’t the point—energy is 9. How overthinking kills magnetism, creativity, and aligned momentum 10.

When Generators and Manifesting Generators stop overriding their gut, stop waiting for permission, and stop talking themselves out of response, life gets easier. Opportunities arrive. Energy returns. Decisions clarify. Your sacral is a motor—and when you let it lead, it magnetizes exactly what’s meant for you. LINKS AND RESOURCES 1.

Feng Shui supports where that energy functions best and how to help it flow. Laurel explains how understanding your environment type — Markets, Caves, Shores, Mountains, Valleys, or Kitchens — can radically change how you experience work, creativity, and productivity. Instead of forcing yourself into someone else’s version of success, this episode invites you to build a space that actually supports your design. PRACTICAL TAKEAWAYS YOU CAN USE IMMEDIATELY 1. Clear unfinished tasks before setting new intentions 2. Create a power position at your desk (yes, facing the door matters) 3.

Stop tolerating objects that drain you energetically 6. Design your space to support your actual way of working, not an idealized one These are small shifts — but they create massive energetic relief.
