Hey design dashers, it’s Laura and Melissa here, back with a conversation that hits home for so many of us. You ever have those days where the work you once loved suddenly feels like a never-ending grind? Like, where did the passion go? Trust us, we’ve been there too. This week, we’re digging into that tricky, messy space where purpose seems to vanish—how it happens, why it happens, and, most importantly, how to get it back.

We’re getting real about those seasons of burnout, where the little things just pile up, and before you know it, you’re questioning everything: "Is this really what I want to do forever?" Sound familiar? We get into all of it, from losing sight of the bigger picture to getting stuck in the weeds on things that don’t light us up anymore (hello, pillow trim choices!).

But it’s not all doom and gloom! In this episode, we’re sharing how we’ve found our way back to passion—whether it’s through stepping back, reconnecting with our vision, or even realizing it’s okay to let go and move on. You’ll hear us talk about the importance of lifelong learning, finding meaning outside of work, and those times when, let’s be honest, you just have to burn it all down and start fresh.

Tune in for the full episode!
