If you’d told me five years ago that I’d be talking about energy, auras, and astrology on this podcast, I would’ve laughed. But life has a way of opening our minds — especially when we’re forced to slow down, reflect, and look for meaning beyond logic.

In this episode, I share how a framework I would’ve once labelled “too woo woo” became one of the most practical tools for self-awareness I’ve ever started using: Human Design.

You’ll learn what Human Design actually is, why it’s not about crystals or clichés, and how it can help leaders — especially women — make better decisions, protect their energy, and operate in alignment with how they’re naturally wired.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or like you’re forcing your way through the day, this episode might just be the reset you didn’t know you needed

In This Episode

You’ll discover:

• What Human Design actually is and why it’s not as “woo woo” as it sounds.
• The five Human Design types and what they reveal about how you operate best.
• How to spot when you’re out of alignment (and what your energy is trying to tell you).
• The link between leadership and energy, and how awareness transforms how you lead.
• How I’m integrating Human Design into my group coaching to help women lead smarter, not harder.

Why You’ll Love It

This episode is a bridge between logic and energy, structure and flow.
It’s for the leaders who’ve mastered the frameworks — but still feel something’s missing.
Because when you understand how you’re designed to lead, you stop forcing it… and start flowing with it.
