She speaks often,but today was different.

Our founder, Jill Stewart, MSW, is no stranger to the stage. But her keynote today for hundreds of Direct Support Professionals from the PEI Public Schools Branch was especially near and dear to her heart.

Many of those in the audience were former students Jill had taught and mentored in Human Services and Education Assistant programs at Holland College, now doing powerful, emotional work in the field.

We wanted to share a piece of her message with all of you, especially those who might need a reminder that your heart matters too.

💙 A message from Jill:

Today was a beautiful day — not because I gave a keynote, but because I got to be with people I care deeply about.

I’ve witnessed firsthand what happens when passionate, dedicated people step into roles supporting others through trauma, disability, and complex needs, and I’ve also seen what happens a few years in: the exhaustion, the disconnection, the quiet pain of burnout.

I created Your Life Design to be a place where helpers can be helped.

Because moral injury is real.
Because empathic distress is heavy.
Because burnout is not your fault.
And because you deserve a space to rest and be held.

So here’s my request to you:

✨ Please take care of your heart.
✨ You’re allowed to rest.
✨ You’re allowed to receive help, not just offer it.
✨ You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Let today be more than a keynote. Let it be a turning point.

You matter. You are not alone. And your healing is essential.

With Care,
Jill Stewart, MSW
Founder, Your Life Design Inc.

You don’t have to be perfect to be worthy.

Your value isn’t measured by flawless actions or constant achievements.
You are worthy simply because you exist. 💙

Take a breath today and remind yourself: I am enough, exactly as I am.

Rest isn’t a reward you give yourself after you’ve “done enough.”
It’s a vital part of caring for your mind and body.

When we reframe rest as a necessity rather than a luxury, we give ourselves permission to slow down, recharge, and show up more fully. 💙
