What if the key to avoiding burnout and working in true alignment isn’t another productivity hack—but understanding your human design type? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Lauryn welcomes human design expert Mel McSherry to explore how our energetic blueprints can radically reshape how we rest, lead, and grow our businesses. Whether you’ve never looked up your chart or you’ve got it memorized, this conversation will shift how you think about your work rhythm and your team’s.

Together, they break down how each human design type—Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, Manifesting Generators, and Reflectors—approaches energy cycles, productivity, and leadership. Mel shares actionable ways to prevent burnout, create more sustainable team dynamics, and make decisions that feel aligned instead of forced. If you’ve ever struggled with rest guilt or felt out of sync in your business, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:
Human design reveals your unique energy cycle, showing when to push and when to rest to avoid burnout and maximize productivity.
Each design type functions differently in business, and understanding those differences can improve both solo work and team leadership.
Transparent leadership rooted in self-awareness allows business owners to align their communication, delegation, and decision-making with their true energetic strengths.
Rest doesn’t always mean stillness, especially for types like Manifesting Generators—it may look like switching tasks or channeling energy elsewhere.
