THE LIVE FAB LIFE PODCAST
The Live FAB Life Podcast lives at the intersection of Human Design and functional wellness — energy, digestion, burnout, and why the rules you were conditioned to follow don't fit how you're actually built.
Each limited series takes a deep dive into what people are actually navigating — looking at productivity culture, the wellness industry, beauty standards, and who gets to belong with Human Design as the framework for the patterns nobody's quite naming.
Hosted by Naomi Nakamura. New series drop a few times a year.

Episode 333: The Voice I Almost Lost
It’s the ninth anniversary since The Live FAB Life Podcast debuted!
In this return episode, I'm sharing the real story behind the seven-month hiatus: the slow fade that started last year, the mental block that made me hate even talking about my own offers, and the POV exercise in a photography community that cracked something open I didn't know was closed.
I walk you through getting laid off after eighteen years in corporate tech, and what it revealed about how sanded-down and sanitized my own voice had become without me noticing.
I also share where things stand now — the refresh (not rebrand) that I've been quietly doing all summer, what's ahead for this show, how Substack fits in, and the point of view I landed on after all of it.
Episode 328: Your Quirks Aren’t Flaws — They’re Your GPS
In this birthday episode, we get personal and talk about the parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to tone down, cover up, or feel ashamed of — the quirks, patterns, and preferences we thought made us “too much,” “too sensitive,” or just… weird.
And how Human Design gives us a language — and a framework — to see these parts not as flaws, but as guidance.
We discuss:
Why your quirks aren’t accidents — they’re insights
How I reframed what I used to feel self-conscious about through my Human Design
Real-life examples from my chart (and maybe yours, too!)
Episode 327: Human Design Lessons on Self-Leadership: Learning to Trust Your Own Judgment Again
You know how the saying goes, “trust your intuition”? It sounds great — until you're staring at your meal plan, second-guessing your symptoms, and wondering why you still don’t feel like yourself.
This episode is about self-leadership — and how Human Design gives you a practical path back to trusting your judgment, body, and energy again.
We’ll unpack what self-leadership really means, the subtle ways we learn to override it (even with “good” advice), and how each of the seven Human Design Authorities offers a tangible, practical approach to building that trust again — one decision at a time.
This isn’t about ignoring input or never asking for support. It’s about becoming the kind of person who knows how to hear themselves — and lead themselves — even in the noise.
In this episode:
What self-leadership is (and isn’t)
Why wellness culture often disconnects us from our inner compass
Seven ways Human Design helps you stop outsourcing your decisions
The difference between following intuition vs. understanding your Authority
Episode 324: Energy Mapping Through Human Design: The First Step to Understanding Your Rhythms
Before you can build a rhythm that fits, you need to understand the energy that’s driving it.
In this episode, I’m breaking down what energy mapping through Human Design is, why it matters, and how it helps you create wellness rhythms that actually work for you — not just on paper, but in real life.
If you’ve ever felt like your energy was inconsistent, unpredictable, or just hard to work with… this one’s for you.
Episode 322: Finding Rhythm Through Human Design After Wellness Rules Failed You
In this episode, I discuss what it really means to find rhythm in your wellness — not through more rules, protocols, or plans, but through your Human Design.
Because if you’ve been doing “all the right things” and still feel off… it’s not a “you” problem. It’s a mismatch.
We’ll unpack:
Why popular wellness rhythms don’t stick
What finding your own rhythm actually looks and feels like
How Human Design gives you the blueprint to rebuild trust with your body, your energy, and your timing
Episode 317: Reclaiming My Image — Visibility, Being Seen and The Self-Portrait Challenge
What happens when you stop bracing at your own reflection—and start seeing yourself clearly for the first time?
In this solo, deeply personal follow-up to Episode 316, I share what actually happened when I joined The Self-Portrait Challenge with visibility mentor Lisa Haukom — and what it cracked open for me.
What began as an experiment in iPhone photography quickly became a process of unpacking why I’ve spent most of my life flinching at photos of myself to softening old stories, letting go of performance, and reclaiming how I see myself now.
You’ll hear me share:
The quiet grief of no longer recognizing your body
The power of documenting (not performing)
How representation—especially as an Asian women—isn’t just about visibility, but self-trust
Why learning to love photos of yourself isn’t about vanity—it’s about recognition
Whether you're in your thirties, forties, fifties or beyond, if you’ve ever felt invisible in your own life or body, this one’s for you.
Episode 307: The Relationship Episode: Where Capacity and Relationships Meet - Venus Retrograde Edition with Nadia Gabrielle
What if the way you show up in relationships has less to do with effort—and more to do with your subconscious capacity?
Returning to the show is my friend, mentor, and frequent guest, Nadia Gabrielle—a teacher of conscious strategy and subconscious capacity.
In this episode, Nadia and I dive into the deep, often overlooked connection between capacity and relationships. She shares how our subconscious beliefs shape the way we connect with others—whether in personal relationships, work dynamics, or even our relationship with institutions and systems.
Through real-life case studies and personal experiences, we explore:
How subconscious capacity impacts relationships (in ways you might not expect)
The patterns that keep you stuck in relational burnout, overgiving, or misalignment
Strategies for building resilience and repairing connections—without depleting yourself
If you’ve ever felt drained in your relationships, struggled to hold boundaries, or wondered why certain dynamics feel so hard, this conversation is for you.
Tune in to learn how to expand your capacity and transform the way you relate to others—without losing yourself in the process.
Episode 306: The Intersection of Stress and Conditioning
How much of your stress is truly yours—and how much comes from the world around you?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the intersection of stress and conditioning, exploring how societal, familial, and even workplace expectations shape our responses to pressure. By understanding how conditioning contributes to chronic stress, you’ll learn to untangle inherited patterns and reclaim peace.
We’ll cover:
How your Human Design reveals stress patterns and where you’re most vulnerable to conditioning
Tools to differentiate external stress from your own natural rhythms
Strategies to decondition, restore alignment, and protect your energy in a world that thrives on hustle
If you’re feeling the weight of other people’s expectations or struggling to find calm amidst chaos, this episode is for you.
Episode 304: Energy Leaks in Human Design: How to Spot and Stop Them
Feeling perpetually drained or overwhelmed? It might not just be about needing more rest—it could be energy leaks in your life.
In this episode, we explore how Human Design reveals where these leaks happen, especially through open and undefined centers. I’ll guide you through spotting these energy drains, share strategies to seal them, and show you how to realign with your authentic flow. Whether it’s taking on others’ emotions or saying “yes” when you mean “no,” this episode is packed with insights to help you reclaim your energy and thrive.
