“When it comes to to projectors, rest, and calming your nervous system, the first question needs to be, “Why is your nervous system not calm?” Or “What’s causing that disruption?” And then, “What are you doing to address that?” Life hacks aren’t going to correct that - why are we finding ourselves somewhere where life needs to be hacked?”

Episode 316: No More Bad Photos — Seeing Yourself Clearly with Lisa Haukom

If you’ve ever avoided being in photos…

If you’ve ever hated how you looked in one (or all) of them…

If you’ve ever wished you could just feel good being seen — this episode is for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by the woman currently teaching me how to actually see myself in photos — not with filters, angles, or forced confidence, but with presence.

Lisa Haukom is a visibility expert, creative director, and the founder of The Photo Club Method. She helps women shift the way they see themselves — in photos, yes, but also in life. Because hiding from the camera? Usually means we’re hiding from ourselves, too.

We talk about:

Why we flinch when we see ourselves on camera
What it really means to reclaim your image (without changing your body)
How learning to take self-portraits (not selfies) is actually a tool for self-trust
And what happens when we stop disappearing from our own lives

This conversation cracked something open in me — and I think it might for you too.

Because you don’t need to change anything.

You just need to see what’s already there.

Episode 312: Mastering Your Personal Style Through Fashion Principles, Astrology and Human Design with Alisa Koz

In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest and personal style powerhouse, Alisa Koz — an expert in fashion psychology, sustainable style, Astrology, and Human Design.

Back in Episode 275, Alisa cracked open my natal chart and started connecting the dots between my energy, my aesthetic, and my style misfires. You know the ones —

→ Outfits that looked amazing on Pinterest but flopped IRL

→ Clothing boxes that missed the mark by a mile

→ Makeup that matched my mom’s taste, not mine

→ And style quizzes that left me feeling more boxed in than inspired

Since that first conversation, I’ve been deep in Alisa’s world — and for the past three months, I’ve had the privilege of being a beta student in her brand new program, Personal Style Mastery.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on:

The birth of Personal Style Mastery and how Alisa blended her expertise into a one-of-a-kind framework
My experience inside the program (yes, I had aha moments around fruit metaphors and auric alignment)
What we’ve both learned through this process — and why this isn’t just about looking good, but feeling deeply aligned in your skin and your clothes
How to join the waitlist for the first official round of the program

If you’ve ever felt like your closet doesn’t reflect who you really are — or that style advice never seems to “click” for you — this conversation is your permission slip to explore fashion in a way that’s personal, powerful, and fully aligned with your values.

Episode 311: Real Questions, Real Talk: Human Design Made Personal, Part 2 with Nadia Gabrielle

Let’s talk about what no one else is saying.

This episode is for the Projectors out there trying to live by their design while also… you know, navigating real life. The 9–5 job. The to-do list. The relationships. The “I just want to feel good in my body” moments.

In Part 2 of our Projector Q&A series, I’m back with my favorite thought partner, Nadia Gabrielle, and we’re going even deeper.

No filters. No fluff. Just two Projectors telling the truth.

We unpack:

What being a Projector in a 9–5 actually requires (spoiler: it’s not pretending to be a Generator)
Deconditioning in real time—what it looks like when it’s messy and unsexy
Planning your week as a Projector (yes, you can still get sh*t done)
Navigating relationships without losing yourself or your energy
Supporting your health + nervous system in a world that wasn’t built for your rhythm

It’s part guidance, part myth-busting, and part “you’re not broken—you’re just deconditioning in a Generator world.”

If you’ve been trying to do it all “right” but still feel off…

This one’s gonna land.

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.

…and so much more!

Episode 201: Exploring A Self-Projected Authority with Nadia Gabrielle

Human Design teaches us to embrace our individuality and that includes how we best make decisions. While some of us are guided by our emotions, others are guided by intuition. To know what approach is best for you, look to your Human Design Authority.

We’re continuing our series of exploring each authority by hearing from individuals who each represent one of the seven different authorities.

In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest, Nadia Gabrielle. Nadia first joined me in Episode 179 on Subconscious Capacity Building, one of her areas of expertise as she merges her with her decade-plus years of business experience in brand building, design thinking, service design to serve wellness creatives and those in the self-development space.

Nadia incorporates Human Design into her client work, which means she’s well-acquainted with all aspects of her Human Design, including her Self-Projected Authority.

You’ll hear Nadia share:

What is a Self-Projected Authority
How she experiments with and is led by her authority
How she balances her authority with her Type and Strategy (i.e., aura mechanics)
What it’s like to have a defined G-Center (the center of identity and direction)
How she uses incorporates her Human Design into how she runs her business

Episode 179: Subconscious Capacity Building with Nadia Gabrielle

When undertaking any new project or endeavor, whether personal or business-related, it’s always important to have a plan or strategy in place. However, while strategies can be executed, there’s always non-tangible things that hold us back from fully realizing what’s possible & those things are often limiting beliefs that lie in our subconscious.

Joining me in this episode is Nadia Gabrielle, a guide and mentor for business owners and non-business owners.

Merging her business background in Brand Building, Design Thinking & Service Design with her 12+ years of experience working in the creative, wellness & self-development space, Nadia uses conscious strategic tools and subconscious capacity building, to help her clients set themselves up for success in their lives and businesses by providing support at the points where strategy and capacity meet.

I recently had the opportunity to take Nadia’s fantastic Service Design School to help me apply Design Thinking principles to structure my coaching services. What I didn’t expect and I’m utterly grateful for was learning about subconscious capacity building and exploring what areas of my subconscious can be expanded.

In this episode you’ll hear Nadia share:

What is strategy and capacity and what are the things that hold us back
What is subconscious capacity building and how do we do this?
How she uses Human Design and Astrology in her client work
What is Design Thinking and Service Design School
Client transformations she’s witnesses
