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 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 208: My Human Design Motivation & Perspective
How are you motivated? What are the intentions that compel you to act?
As introduced in Episode 206, in Human Design, your Motivation is what, at your inner core, makes you take action.
In this episode, I share my reactions to the Need Motivation, Fear Transverse Motivation, and Novice Trajectory from my own Human Design, and reflections on the role they’ve played in my life thus far.

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. Nadia first joined me in Episode 179 on Subconscious Capacity Building, one of her areas of expertise as she merges her with her decade-plus years of business experience in brand building, design thinking, service design to serve wellness creatives and those in the self-development space.
Nadia incorporates Human Design into her client work, which means she’s well-acquainted with all aspects of her Human Design, including her Self-Projected Authority.
You’ll hear Nadia share:
What is a Self-Projected Authority
How she experiments with and is led by her authority
How she balances her authority with her Type and Strategy (i.e., aura mechanics)
What it’s like to have a defined G-Center (the center of identity and direction)
How she uses incorporates her Human Design into how she runs her business

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.
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow Human Design coach, Brent Reichenberger, a 1 /3 Pure Generator to enlighten me (and you) on what it’s like to have a Sacral Authority.
You’ll hear us discuss:
What is a Sacral Authority
How his Sacral Authority leads him on a daily basis
Differences we’ve both observed between being a Sacral vs non-Sacral being
And we even dive into our 1 / 3 Profile Lines

Episode 190: Subconscious Capacity & Listening to My Splenic Authority
Back in Episode 179, I was joined by Nadia Gabrielle for a conversation on Subconscious Capacity building. Nadia shared how 5% of what we do is in our conscious, but 95% of what we do is from our subconscious. The episode had me observing what’s sitting in my subconscious and how can I expand its capacity to meet my conscious self.
This exercise in observation led me to recognize how my Splenic Authority had been nudging me for months to shift the scope of my work, and how I’d been ignoring it.
In this episode, I take you behind the scenes for a candid conversation on:
How I’m shifting my work
The backstory behind how it came about
What happened when I ignored my Splenic Authority, then finally followed it
What my service offerings are today

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 strategy and capacity and what are the things that hold us back
What is subconscious capacity building and how do we do this?
How she uses Human Design and Astrology in her client work
What is Design Thinking and Service Design School
Client transformations she’s witnesses
