I started this podcast in 2017 — not to shout into the void, but to start the kinds of conversations I wished existed. The ones that name the real reasons women feel off, even when they “do everything right.”

As a Projector, I lead with pattern recognition. As a Human Design + functional nutrition practitioner, I give language to what your body’s already been whispering.

This show is about unlearning the noise — and rebuilding self-trust, one episode at a time.

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

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

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 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.

Episode 195: What A Sacral Authority Feels Like with Brent Reichenberger

Since diving into Human Design, I’ve held a fascination with the Sacral center - the source of life force energy. As a non-Sacral person, I’ve often wondered what that sustainable energy feels like and how does it feel to rely solely on your gut feelings to make decisions.

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 subconscious capacity building and how do we do this?

Episode 144: Uncovering the Path towards Your Best Life through Astrology with Julien Elizabeth

If you’re someone like me who used to check the newspaper to read their daily horoscope readings, then you’re going to enjoy this episode!

Since learning about Human Design, I’ve been curious about the systems it’s based upon, astrology is one of them.

So a few months ago, I had a natal (birth) chart reading and it validated things that I innately knew about myself, that I had never shared with anyone else. And, it also enlightened me to see astrology in a new perspective.

Joining me in this episode is Julien Elizabeth (I had my natal chart reading with her). Julian is a teacher, astrologer, and writer, who’s inspired by the cycles of life, the natural world, the universe, and spirit.

As an astrologer, teacher, and yoga practitioner, her work focuses on strengthening our connection to the intuitive world. She’s motivated to create more pathways and tools for self-healing.

You’ll hear Julien and I discuss consciousness, how astrology can be used as a tool for health, and simple wisdom and aspirations to live an authentic life that reveres gratitude, compassion, and honesty!

Episode Highlights:

  • Astrology + Human Design

  • Astrology as a self-healing tool that can help us lean into our intuition, and develop self-awareness

  • How Julien got into astrology work

  • My birth chart reading experience with Julien & takeaways that I'm using as tools for health

  • The Fall Equinox and why it’s important
