Have you ever felt the wear and tear of burnout creeping into your life, inching its way into your creative soul? I know I have, and it's time to talk about the lifeline that boundaries are in our industry. Today's episode of the Designer Within brings in Lori Miller, an interior designer with a unique twist—her expertise in mental health counseling. We peel back the layers of how psychological principles can shape the spaces we live in, affecting our overall well-being. I get personal with my own brushes with burnout and share the pivotal steps I've taken to keep my mental health on track amidst the demands of our bustling field.

Navigating the emotional labyrinth of client relationships and the pressures of home renovations can be a daunting task for designers, but it's one we dissect with care. We discuss striking the right chords with our clients, understanding their deeper motivations, and the undeniable impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on all of us within the design industry. Lori sheds light on the subtle but potent signals of burnout, and we contemplate strategies to manage stress before it overtakes us.

I wrap things up with a heart-to-heart on the sacredness of Sundays, the power of a pause, and the transformative nature of mindfulness practices in our daily routines. If you're looking for a nudge towards self-care, a reminder to breathe, or practical tips on keeping your professional balance without tipping over, this is your sign.

Highlights of our convo:
* The signs of burnout and how to notice them
* How to avoid burnout altogether using tools you already have
* Psychology tactics to work with clients from the very beginning
* How boundaries and expectations are key

I hope you take the time to TRULY listen to this episode and I hope if you need help you seek it. Notice the signs of burnout as it reveals itself to you and take care of it now. You are worth it.
