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.

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

How talking about “health” without including body, mind, and emotional health is an incomplete conversation
Human Design vs other personality frameworks

If invitations can be created
Observations from my experiments with invitations and what made it all “click” for me

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.
