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 228: Intuition, Self-Trust and Healing Chronic Migraines with Melinda Staehling
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
Why only focusing on the physical aspects of pain is an incomplete conversation
How she’s chosen to reframe her relationship with pain and the tools that have helped her do so
Episode 227: A Snapshot of My Functional Nutrition Assessment x Human Design
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 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 211: Addressing Skin Issues with Functional Nutrition and Human Design
While not fun to experience, the past six months have turned out to be somewhat of a case study of the intersection of Functional Nutrition x Human Design.
For the past 6+ months, I’ve been suffering from skin issues. After multiple doctors’ visits, I was left feeling unseen, unheard, dismissed, and my suffering minimized.
So I put my Functional Nutrition hat back on to investigate and uncover what’s at the room of going on.
In this episode, I share:
How this started and the discomfort and challenges it's caused
How I’m using a Functional Nutrition approach to address it
The added insight that Human Design has shed on why.
I also share the only modalities thus far that have brought relief, and new healing modalities that I’ve been introduced to.
Episode 207: On Having A Mental Authority with Janelle Turner
Human Design teaches us to embrace our individuality and that includes the best way to 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 on with our series on chatting with individuals on how they lean into their Human Design Authority.
In this episode, I’m joined by Janelle Turner. Janelle is a fellow Human Design Coach, fellow podcaster, and a Projector with a Mental Authority.
You’ll hear Janelle share:
How she first came to learn about Human Design
How at first, she was mistyped in her Human Design and how misaligned it felt
What the Mental (also called “Environmental” or “Sound Boarding”) Authority is
Walking that fine line between overthinking and practical ways she follows her Mental Authority
What is “Out-tuition?”
Episode 206: Your Human Design Motivation (and View)
How are you motivated? What compels you to act - to take action?
Continuing our exploration of the Human Design Variables, in this episode, we take a look at Human Design Motivations.
You’ll hear:
What’s Motivation in Human Design
Where Motivation fits into the Human Design variables framework and how it corresponds to the other Variables
The six kinds of Motivations, their Transverse Motivations, and their Trajectories
And we take a brief look at the View Variable
Episode 205: My Human Design Environment
Do your surroundings nourish you?
As introduced in Episodes 204, in Human Design, your Environment is about situating your body in the spaces and places that will support you to meet your highest potential.
In this episode, I share with you what my Environment is from my own Human Design, and share with you reflections on the physical locations I’ve lived in throughout my life and the influences it had on my ability and inability to grow and thrive.
