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

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.

When you ask two Projectors a bunch of questions, we take it as a formal invitation to go all in—and you know we will.

Together, we dig into:

  • Recognizing the nuances of Projector invitations

Episode 307: The Relationship Episode: Where Capacity and Relationships Meet - Venus Retrograde Edition with Nadia Gabrielle

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 213: The Ripple Effect of Kindness and the Self-Compassion Challenge with Heidi Jones

Episode 213: The Ripple Effect of Kindness and the Self-Compassion Challenge with Heidi Jones

I believe that Human Design teaches us self-love and ultimately, self-trust. And when we’re able to love and trust ourselves, we’re able to embrace our uniqueness and lean into our authenticity. As a byproduct, we can naturally fall into a life of freedom, good health, and empowerment.

Joining me to explore one path towards this is Heidi Jones.

Heidi is a health and mindset coach based in Dubai. Using curiosity and self-leadership, she helps women take action to balance their career and their health so they can achieve their goals.

You’ll hear Heidi and I discuss:

  • Her journey from the UK to Dubai and how she pivoted her career from teaching to coaching

  • How she became an ultra-marathon runner

  • Her Be Kind to Yourself Challenge and how it came about (the next round of her free Be Kind To Yourself Challenge begins on March 14, 2022!)

Episode 160: Reconnecting with Yourself and Choosing What You Want Out of Your Day

I fully believe that what we feel physically has a direct connection to what’s going on with us mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.

In this episode, I discuss how even though we're well into the new year, I'm still feeling the effects of 2020.

You’ll hear me share:

  • Feeling bothersome and overwhelmed

Episode 155: Is It Work If You Love What You Do?

Do you love your work right now? How is it affecting you physically? Mentally? Emotionally?

Continuing on with the discussion of work-life balance, is there such a thing as “too much” work if you love what you do?

Join me in this solo episode as I explore this topic, as well as hear me discuss:

  • How to approach your work if you don’t love what you do?

  • The difference reframing your mindset and finding little joys on the job can make
