322: Finding Rhythm Through Human Design After Wellness Rules Failed You

We're taught to make decisions from our mind — research, logic, pros vs cons lists — and then wonder why everything feels harder than it should. But the truth is: your body gives you information long before your mind starts analyzing anything. In this episode, we're breaking down the early signals your body sends — the physical cues, energetic shifts, and subtle patterns – the ones that are usually overlooked — and how Human Design gives language and structure to those early signals so you can stop pushing through them, stop misreading them, and stop treating them like flaws. You'll learn how your body responds before your thoughts do, why you're so used to overriding those responses, and how noticing them can make decisions easier and reduce stress. If you've ever pushed past your limits, said yes when you knew you shouldn't, or talked yourself out of what you felt immediately — this episode will help you understand why.

In this birthday episode, we get personal and talk about the parts of ourselves we've been taught to tone down, cover up, or feel ashamed of — the quirks, patterns, and preferences we thought made us "too much," "too sensitive," or just… weird. And how Human Design gives us a language — and a framework — to see these parts not as flaws, but as guidance. We discuss:  Why your quirks aren't accidents — they're insights How I reframed what I used to feel self-conscious about through my Human Design Real-life examples from my chart (and maybe yours, too!)

You know how the saying goes, "trust your intuition"? It sounds great — until you're staring at your meal plan, second-guessing your symptoms, and wondering why you still don't feel like yourself. This episode is about self-leadership — and how Human Design gives you a practical path back to trusting your judgment, body, and energy again. We'll unpack what self-leadership really means, the subtle ways we learn to override it (even with "good" advice), and how each of the seven Human Design Authorities offers a tangible, practical approach to building that trust again — one decision at a time. This isn't about ignoring input or never asking for support. It's about becoming the kind of person who knows how to hear themselves — and lead themselves — even in the noise. In this episode: What self-leadership is (and isn't) Why wellness culture often disconnects us from our inner compass Seven ways Human Design helps you stop outsourcing your decisions The difference between following intuition vs. understanding your Authority READ THE SHOW NOTES WORK WITH ME CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM JOIN THE COMMUNITY

In this episode, we unpack the gap between what your lab tests say and what your body feels — and why both are valid. As someone who deeply values functional lab data, I'm not here to dismiss it. In fact, I still regularly test through my own care team. But lab work is just one piece of the puzzle. Functional data is powerful — but it's a snapshot, not a full story. What happens between tests? What happens when symptoms don't align with results? It isn't about replacing one system with another — it's a yes, and. It offers context. Insight. A filter. We explore how your energy, rhythms, and lived experience can help you contextualize the data, not override it. So you can use data without gaslighting your own experience — and start making decisions that reflect how you actually feel in your body.

If you've tracked everything — your food, your steps, your sleep — and still feel more overwhelmed than aligned, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm unpacking the difference between tracking for clarity vs. control — and how Human Design helps you know what's worth tracking for you. We'll talk about: The patterns tracking helps you see — and when it becomes self-surveillance Why Human Design is the lens that makes data useful (not just noisy) How to make tracking feel supportive, not obsessive READ THE SHOW NOTES WORK WITH ME CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM JOIN THE COMMUNITY  

Before you can build a rhythm that fits, you need to understand the energy that's driving it. In this episode, I'm breaking down what energy mapping through Human Design is, why it matters, and how it helps you create wellness rhythms that actually work for you — not just on paper, but in real life. If you've ever felt like your energy was inconsistent, unpredictable, or just hard to work with… this one's for you. READ THE SHOW NOTES WORK WITH ME CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM JOIN THE COMMUNITY  

You've counted. You've journaled. You've tested and "done the work." So why do your patterns still feel… confusing? Why does self-awareness still leave you stuck in the same loops? In this episode, I'm talking about how Human Design helps reveal the patterns you've been living in — the ones that never made sense until you saw them through this lens. We'll unpack: Why your patterns aren't problems — they're invitations What changes when you track through energy, not just effort How Human Design gives language to the cycles you've been trying to name This isn't about fixing yourself — it's about understanding how you actually work, so you can move forward with clarity, not confusion.

In this episode, I discuss what it really means to find rhythm in your wellness — not through more rules, protocols, or plans, but through your Human Design. Because if you've been doing "all the right things" and still feel off… it's not a "you" problem. It's a mismatch. We'll unpack: Why popular wellness rhythms don't stick What finding your own rhythm actually looks and feels like How Human Design gives you the blueprint to rebuild trust with your body, your energy, and your timing READ THE SHOW NOTES WORK WITH ME CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM JOIN THE COMMUNITY

What happens when a former school teacher swaps lesson plans for sheet pans — and merges these two areas of expertise together? You get Chef Laura Scheck of Teaching Table — a culinary educator with a knack for demystifying scratch cooking using fresh, seasonal ingredients. As someone who's deeply into health and wellness but couldn't cook to save my life… let me tell you, this convo is personal. I took my first class with Chef Laura last fall, and when I pulled a golden loaf bread out of my oven, I thought: Wait. I made this? Since then, I've taken five (okay, maybe six) of her classes — from mocktails to gluten-free galettes — and my kitchen confidence has never been higher. In this episode, you'll hear: How Chef Laura went from the classroom to the kitchen (and blended the two) The power of modifying instead of stressing Her 3 go-to meals for when you're short on time Why cooking confidence isn't about perfection – it's about play The 3 kitchen tools she can't live without  This one's light on Human Design, but packed with heart, humor, and those quiet "oh wow, I can do this" moments we all need more of. If you've ever felt intimidated by the kitchen, this episode is for you. READ THE SHOW NOTES WORK WITH ME CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM JOIN THE COMMUNITY
