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.

THE LATEST EPISODES

Episode 220: Developing Self-Trust and Leadership through Human Design and Intuitive Eating with Melinda Staehling
Joining me in Episode 220 is Melinda Staehling. Melinda joined me way back in Episodes 041 on meditation and 046 on gray-area drinking. Since then, in true Manifesting Generator form, she’s made a complete career change going from a career in the restaurant industry to now as a Clinical Nutritionist and NASM personal trainer.
My curiosity was piqued when Melinda recently started a book club on Intuitive Eating. I’ve always been fascinated with Intuitive Eating because I didn’t know how to trust my intuition enough to practice it. I didn’t have the self-confidence to trust myself and my decision-making.
In this episode you'll hear us discuss:
What is Intuitive Eating
As a clinical nutritionist, why she advocates it
Intuition x Intuitive Eating
The relationship between intuition and Human Design
How we can develop self-trust and step into a self-leadership role through Intuitive Eating and Human Design

Episode 219: How to Establish Boundaries with Diane Sanfilippo
It's one thing to talk about boundaries, but it's another thing to establish and uphold them because let’s be honest - it can be a hard thing to do.
So in this episode, I invited my friend, Diane Sanfilippo, to join me for a conversation on how to set boundaries.
Diane is a certified nutrition consultant. She’s the owner and founder of Balanced Bites Wholesome Foods, a New York Times bestselling author, and the co-host of the Full Plate Podcast, a new podcast talking about anti-diet culture, mental health, & boundaries.

The different levels of boundaries
Practical tips that you can try today to set boundaries

Episode 218: Human Design and Boundaries
Boundaries are a set of rules that we create for how we allow others to interact with us, in the interest of self-preservation so that we feel safe, can manage our energy, and preserve our physical, mental, and emotional health.

What are boundaries
Why we need them
Personal anecdotes about establishing boundaries
Where our Human Design illuminates what kinds of boundaries we might want to establish

Episode 214: Finding My Voice: Messaging Versus Tone
Having a Defined Throat Center, I’m meant to share my voice and speak my truth.
While I’m very clear on my message - my points of view and approach, over the past few months I’ve been struggling with ambiguity over what tone to express it in.
In this episode, I share:
My story in detail with this struggle
How it directly affected the creative blocks I’ve encountered
What practices I’ve been doing for creative recovery

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
