Happy Tuesday, Reader!

This week we're talking about the leadership templates that were never built for you, the political machinery behind hustle culture, and the one thing that might finally explain why you've been so damn tired. Let's get into it 👇

😤TRENDS TO SKIP

One-Size-Fits-All Leadership Frameworks

The Eisenhower Matrix. The 5 AM morning routine. The CEO day. The 12-week year. I could keep going...but why would I? 🤢

These frameworks aren't bad, exactly. But they were built around a very specific kind of energy that's usually high-output, initiation-heavy, and always-on. If that's not how you're wired, you've probably spent years trying to shoehorn yourself into a system that was never yours to begin with.

If these frameworks have never fully clicked for you, trust me, you are NOT alone. I get exhausted just writing them out here. Trust me, your "failure" to follow them is not a mindset problem.

On April 28th, I'm hosting a free workshop called Lead Like You're Built where we're going to talk about exactly this: how your Human Design energy type shapes the way you lead, and what actually works when you stop borrowing someone else's playbook. Register here it's totally free!

🗳️POLITICS & BUSINESS OWNERSHIP

The Hustle Economy was a Political Choice

The grind-until-you-break model of work didn't happen by accident. It was built, refined, and incentivized by systems that benefit when you produce more, rest less, and never stop to ask whether any of this is working for you.

The whole apparatus: the VC culture that rewards sleepless founders, the policy landscape that makes healthcare tied to employment, the social media algorithms that amplify urgency...all of it, is designed to keep you moving too fast to question why you're stuck in this cycle.

So the next time someone frames your burnout as a personal failure, a lack of discipline, or a sign that you're "not cut out" for this, remember: the system has a vested interest in you believing that.

🔢THE NUMBERS THAT MATTER

77% of Leaders Experience Burnout

According to Deloitte, 77% of leaders have experienced burnout. And the most common culprit isn't just overwork; it's chronic misalignment between how they're wired and how they're expected to lead.

No new tool or better to-do list will solve this design problem.

If that number lands a little too close to home, I want you at my workshop next Tuesday. We're covering all five Human Design energy types and what sustainable, aligned leadership actually looks like for each one. Free, 45 minutes, replay available. Ooh and you get a free printable guide to help you with your goals too!

🔥ONE MOVE, ONE MINUTE

Look Up Your Human Design Type Right Now!

Before you do anything else today: go to Jovian Archive, plug in your birth date, birth time, and birth location, and find out your Human Design energy type.

You'll find out whether you're a Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, or Reflector. Honestly, just knowing that is genuinely a game-changer.

Then come to the workshop on April 28th so we can talk about what it actually means for how you lead, how you make decisions, and why certain things have always felt like pushing a boulder uphill. 😉

🛠️TOOL I'M TESTING

Follow Up on Flourish

Ok, for me, this app is really cute and soothing...but it's something I quickly swipe off my screen and ignore. For something like $12.99/month, I don't think it's worth it. At least not for me. An app I did really enjoy (until my phone had to be taken back to factory settings and I lost all my not-backed-up data) was Finch. So, I'd say if you're already using Finch, skip Flourish. And if you've had trouble keeping up with daily habits via a cutesy little app, skip both of them.

🌙COSMIC CORNER

Aries is Still Playing with Our Heads

As of yesterday (Monday), we are still dealing with a lot of frustrations. Mercury is conjunct Saturn, both in Aries, and when the planet of communication meets the planet of boundaries, friction erupts. So...if you're feeling a little spent here today, just remember, things are smoothing out.

By Thursday, Venus will be taking center stage and we'll be entering a period of more pleasure and enjoyment of the little things.
