Burnout: the silent killer of graphic design careers.

It creeps in slowly, disguised as endless revisions, soul-sucking clients, and monotonous work. Before you know it, you're questioning everything: Why did you get into design? Is this even worth it anymore?

But here’s the hard truth: burnout isn’t the problem—it’s how you’re handling it.

In this week’s episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we tear down the myths about burnout and give graphic designers the real, no-nonsense playbook to fight back. Packed with hard-hitting truths, actionable advice, and a few well-timed rants, we’ll help you rediscover the passion that made you fall in love with design in the first place.

From breaking free of soul-sucking clients to reigniting your creativity, we cover:

  • Why most designers burn out—and how to avoid it
  • The one mindset shift that will change everything
  • How to dump soul-sucking clients and focus on what lights you up
  • Why reigniting your passion isn’t just about design—it’s about YOU

By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to ditch the burnout and embrace the badass creative you were born to be.
