about the show

THE LIVE FAB LIFE PODCAST

The Live FAB Life Podcast lives at the intersection of Human Design and functional wellness — energy, digestion, burnout, and why the rules you were conditioned to follow don't fit how you're actually built.

Each limited series takes a deep dive into what people are actually navigating — looking at productivity culture, the wellness industry, beauty standards, and who gets to belong with Human Design as the framework for the patterns nobody's quite naming.‍ ‍

Hosted by Naomi Nakamura. New series drop a few times a year.

Episode 116: On Productivity, Mindset and Daring to Grow with Sarah Morgan

Joining me in Episode 116 is Sarah Morgan of xosarah.com. Sarah is an Emmy-Award winning digital strategist who’s been blogging and building websites since age 13.

In this episode, Sarah tells her story of how she escaped her corporate job as a graphic designer in a newsroom by doing freelance work and eventually building a thriving business where she now helps other business owners grow their online presence without overwhelm and indecision slowing them down.

You’ll hear Sarah share:

  • Her route from a corporate job to profitable solopreneur

  • How she battled burnout and feeling disconnected to her work

  • What it was like working with a coach then bringing mindfulness into her business and personal life

Episode 115: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?

Episode 115: What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

As women, we spend so much time living in fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of being judged and of what others might think, fear of not having or being enough, fear of failure.

But what could happen if we release those fears? What’s possible for you, if you weren’t afraid? What would you do? How far would you let yourself dream?

In this episode I explore:

  • How living in fear holds us back and limits us from reaching our potential

  • What happens if we don’t release our fears

  • What’s possible if, instead of giving what we fear power over us, we let our drive to pursue our dreams outweigh it

And I even share a personal story and my best tips of how to work through fear and stop being afraid.

Episode 114: The Reality of Burnout (and What To Do About It)

If I were, to sum up, the last year, it would be “the year of burnout.” During that time, I’ve come to surmise that burnout is simply the misappropriation of energy and time.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes and share with you what burnout looked like for me - the bad and ugly parts of it (hint: it’s probably not much different what it looks like for you),  what steps I took to bring myself out of it and what lessons I took away from the experience.

Episode 113: Half the Sugar, All the Love with Jennifer Tyler Lee

In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Tyler Lee. Jennifer is an award-winning author, game creator, self-trained home cook, and healthy eating advocate. 

Her first book, The 52 New Foods Challenge, was nominated for an IACP Cookbook Award, and her nutrition game, Crunch a Color®: The Healthy Eating Game, was named one of Dr. Toy’s “10 Best” Children’s Products and received the Parent-Tested Parent-Approved seal of approval.

In her newest book is called Half the Sugar, All the Love.

Jennifer and I connected on Instagram as we both help people with sugar addiction. But as you’ll hear in this episode, we have different approaches. I coach people through the 21-Day Sugar Detox where they learn how to stop eating sugar to change their palette (and mindset) so they no longer crave sweet things.

Jennifer shares delicious low-sugar recipes to show that reducing added sugar doesn’t mean completely giving up the foods you love. She shows you how to sweeten foods, both savory and sweet, naturally with fruits and vegetables instead of added sugar.

Jennifer’s easy, healthy recipes have also been spotlighted by Jessica Alba, Jamie Oliver, Michael Pollan, Oprah, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn Kids, Whole Foods, Parents Magazine, and US Weekly, among many others.  She is a featured contributor at Red Tricycle and shares her recipes each week on her blog, www.52newfoods.com.

Episode 110: What Will Be Your Catalyst for Change?

It’s the time of year where we want to be healthier, we want to be wealthier, we want to make all our dreams come true, and it feels like anything is possible! It’s also the time of year where feelings of inadequacies, lacking, and not being enough can surface.

I fully advocate you doing you - embracing who you are, fully and unapologetically. But I also believe there’s nothing wrong with aspiring for more - of yourself and for yourself.

So what will be your catalyst for change? What will be the thing that will keep you steadfast and focused on whatever “that thing” is that you want for yourself?

In this episode:

  • I talk about mindset, self-growth, personal development and share what tools have helped me do this work over the past decade.

  • I share a few things I’m going to focus on in 2020 (and what the proudest goal I’ve achieved for myself has been thus far)

  • And I ask a few thought-provoking questions to help you figure out what your catalyst of change is going to be.

I discovered the strength and the life-changing tools I needed to finish treatment, thrive, and create a life I truly love.”

Now, Kate’s mission is to coach other women living with cancer in this powerful, comprehensive system of self-care, that teaches how to integrate simple, mind and body practices into a sustainable self-healing lifestyle.

Episode 108: On Quieting the Mind and Allowing Yourself A Chance to Breathe

Being a Type-A person, managing my to-do list, meeting schedule, and borderline OCDC behavior is par for the course. But at some point, all that daily tension takes its toll.

In this episode, I’m continuing my discussion from Episode 107 with an update on the current status of my health.

You’ll hear me share how I’m using conventional and functional approaches to repair hormonal imbalances, and also, how I’m doing some inner work to address deeply rooted behaviors, tendencies, and mindsets that’s kept me in a fight + flight state, so I can bring myself back into balance in a more rested + digested state.

I share the different tools and exercises that I’m incorporation into my daily routine to reset my behaviors, build new habits and how they help to balance hormones.
