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.

Returning to the show is friend-of-the-program and clinical nutritionist, Melinda Staehling.
Melinda recently joined me in Episode 220: Developing Self-Trust and Leadership through Human Design and Intuitive Eating.
(She was also a guest in Episode 041: How to Start A Meditation Practice and Episode 046: Gray-Area Drinking and Sobriety).
In this episode, we continue our conversation on trusting our intuition and stepping into a self-leadership role in our healing journeys.
Melinda shares her 17+ year struggle with migraine and how her approach to treating them has evolved over the years.
She shares:
Why migraine is a women’s health issue
Why and how she takes an integrative approach

As a follow-up to Episodes 211 and 226, in this episode, I give an update on my recent health issues and the approach I’ve taken to address them.
You’ll hear me share:
What’s a Functional Nutrition Assessment? (and how it’s a valuable tool in your healthcare)
How to apply a functional approach to Human Design?
How do I marry Functional Nutrition and Human Design in my healing journey?
I also share why opening up and taking you behind the scenes is part of my work in coming into alignment with my Human Design.
Episode 226: Taking A Functional Approach to Health with Human Design
Over the past year, I’ve received questions and comments regarding "making a big pivot" from health coaching to Human Design so in this episode I discuss why it's not a pivot, but rather an expansion, by sharing my perspectives on:
Taking a “functional” approach
Stress as the root cause of all root causes
Peeling back the layers to uncover the root causes of stress, using work-related stress as an example
How talking about “health” without including body, mind, and emotional health is an incomplete conversation
Human Design vs other personality frameworks
Episode 225: Projector Invitations
In my observations (and from first-hand experience), Projectors, more than any of the other Human Design Types struggle with their Strategy of “Waiting for the Invitation.”
In this episode, I share:
A recap of what “Waiting for the Invitation” means
What are invitations and how to recognize them
If invitations can be created
Observations from my experiments with invitations and what made it all “click” for me
Episode 224: When To Follow Your Human Design Strategy
In this episode, I answer a listener's question on when to follow your Human Design Strategy versus when not to.
You’ll hear me share:
What does Strategy mean in Human Design
What are the Strategies for each Human Design Type
When to follow it (examples included!)
Episode 223: The Versatility of Projectors
By nature, Projectors are intuitive, resourceful, and also, multi-faceted - there are many layers to us. We’re complex people, and with that complexity comes versatility.
In fact, did you know that Projectors are the most versatile of all the Human Design Types?
Expanding on Episode 222 on what’s great about Projectors, in this episode we discuss:
The three different categories of Projectors
The five different kinds of Projectors
A breakdown of the Human Design body graph chart that determines each kind of Projector
Episode 222: What It Means To Have A Projector Aura
There were so many questions submitted for Episode 217: Projectors Rapid Fire Q&A that we simply couldn’t answer them all.
So in this episode, I’m answering one of the unanswered questions: “How can I like being a Projector when it sucks to have a penetrating aura?”
You’ll hear me share:
A recap of what the Projector Aura is
The challenges that aura can present (why it might feel like “it sucks”)
Tips to work through those challenges
The episode is the first of many more episodes answering those unanswered Projector questions.
Episode 221: When Your Human Design Doesn't Resonate with You
“Is it common to feel disappointed or not resonate with your Human Design?”
This was one of the questions that we didn’t get to answer in Episode 217: Projectors Rapid Fire Q&A.
So in this episode, I share:
Why one might feel this way
My initial reaction upon learning what my Human Design is
Questions to ask yourself if your Human Design doesn’t resonate with you
