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.

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
