In today’s episode, I speak with Brad Frost. Brad is a web designer, speaker, writer, and consultant based in Pittsburgh. He is the author of the book Atomic Design, which introduces a methodology to create and maintain effective design systems. Brad co-hosts the Style Guides Podcast and has helped create several tools and resources for web designers.

We dive into navigating the challenges designers experience when coping with personal crisis and burnout, tactical ways to protect your well-being by cultivating self-awareness  and reaching out for support, and why investing in your mental health is key to becoming a more effective and empowered designer.
