Your Open Centres: The Hidden Source of Your Overwhelm

October 21, 20251 min read

Ever feel like you’re carrying everyone else’s energy?

Like your to-do list isn’t even yours, your emotions aren’t even yours and your mind won’t stop racing?

You might be feeling the effects of your Open Centres.

What are Open Centres in Human Design?

They’re the parts of your chart where you’re most sensitive to other people's energy.
You receive and amplify what’s around you.

And in motherhood?
That means you could be carrying your partner’s stress, your children’s meltdowns, your clients’ pressure… all without realising it.

Examples of Open Centre overload:
  • 🧠 Open Head: Feeling pressure to solve everyone’s problems

  • 🫀 Open Heart: Over-giving or over-committing to prove your value

  • ⚡️ Open Root: Always rushing, even when there’s no urgency

  • 😭 Open Spleen: Staying in situations longer than you should because you're afraid to let go

Why does this matter?

If you don’t know where you’re open, you can’t protect your energy.
That’s why moms who “do everything right” still end up depleted.


Awareness is the first step.
Your Open Centres aren’t flaws - they’re signals.
✨ Your custom Burnout Buster Cheat Sheet for Busy Moms shows you exactly where you’re open.

It’s a gentle guide to help you explore where your overwhelm might be coming from, and how to come back to yourself.
