    In this episode of What She Did Next, Kehla sits down with Sam Riley—long-time entrepreneur, 6/2 Sacral Generator, and host of the Business Growth Lab podcast—for a conversation that’s as aligned as it is energizing.

    Samantha opens up about what happened when the pandemic forced her off autopilot and into radical self-inquiry—starting with a podcast, a vacuum cleaner, and a gut punch of recognition that changed everything. She shares how discovering Human Design during lockdown helped her redefine burnout, recalibrate her business, and finally start trusting her sacral "no."

    Together, they dive into:

    🔥 The difference between true burnout vs. functional misalignment
    🙅‍♀️ What happened when Sam stopped saying yes to everything and started trusting her body
    🧬 How she integrated Human Design + Gene Keys into her business strategy and client work
    🤖 The moment she created her Prosperity GPT AI to help entrepreneurs implement their energetics faster
    🚫 Why using your design as an excuse isn't the vibe—and what to do instead

    This is the perfect finale to the What She Did Next series—reminding us that alignment isn’t a destination, it’s an experiment.

  • E #481: What She Did Next Series: Navigating Motherhood, Overcommitment & Business with Human Design with Jessie Eccles

    In this episode of What She Did Next, Kehla is joined by Jessie Eccles—Human Design reader, astrologer, mother of three, and 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator—for a grounded and expansive conversation about sacred endings, sustainable success, and honoring the seasons of motherhood and entrepreneurship.

    Jessie shares how what she thought was her “dream setup”—a remote corporate job, flexible hours, and a newborn in her arms—eventually led her to a deep reckoning. The freedom she had longed for was laced with exhaustion, overcommitment, and the silent pressure to do it all. It wasn’t until she learned to work with her emotional authority and the wisdom of her Gene Keys that she finally gave herself permission to slow down, say no, and choose devotion over duty.

    Together, Kehla and Jessie explore the patterns that shaped her journey, including the lessons of Gate 29 (Life’s Work & Pearl), the sacred presence of the 20th Gene Key (Radiance), and the unraveling of force through the 34th (Purpose). They also talk candidly about the reality of building a business in early motherhood, the fantasy of “having it all,” and how honoring the now can open up the most aligned path forward.

    💫 If you’ve ever felt like freedom was just another cage—or wondered how to run a business without burning out—this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

  • E #480: What She Did Next Series: She Left Her Career & Found Her Calling: The Spiritual Pivot She Didn’t See Coming with Dawn Sinclair

    In this episode of What She Did Next, Kehla is joined by Dawn Sinclair—Gene Keys Guide, retreat facilitator, author of Self, and 1/4 Emotional Generator—for a poetic and powerful conversation about releasing exhaustion, reclaiming vitality, and awakening to purpose through the wisdom of the Gene Keys.

    Dawn shares how the threat of losing her long-time teaching job cracked open her carefully constructed identity and revealed just how much of herself she had abandoned to do “all the right things.” That moment of upheaval sparked a journey through design school, entrepreneurship, burnout, and finally, spiritual alignment.

    It wasn’t strategy that saved her—it was surrender.

    Together, Dawn and Kehla explore how her Gene Keys illuminated the deeper patterns behind her overgiving (40.4 Radiance), magnetism through stillness (52.1 Pearl), and gift of connection and rhythm (15.4 Culture). Dawn also shares how understanding the concept of prenatal vs. postnatal chi helped her rebuild her health and energy after years of depletion.

    💫 If you’ve ever questioned who you are outside your achievements—or felt the quiet invitation to slow down and listen—this conversation will land like a homecoming.

  • E #479: What She Did Next Series: Burnout, Bankruptcy & Rebuilding: Hope Pedraza’s Journey to Sustainable Success with Human Design

    In this episode of What She Did Next, Kehla sits down with Hope Pedraza—Functional Practitioner, Human Design & Gene Keys Mentor, podcast host, and 3/5 Manifesting Generator—for a deeply vulnerable and empowering conversation about rebuilding from rock bottom and aligning health, business, and life through your energetic blueprint.

    Hope shares how running two successful businesses from a place of hustle and perfectionism led her body to total burnout—so much so that lab results revealed her adrenals were “in the toilet.” When the pandemic hit, her world crumbled further: she faced a $300K lawsuit, had to file for bankruptcy, and watched her brick-and-mortar business collapse while pregnant and sick.

    But this wasn’t the end—it was the portal.

    Through Human Design and Gene Keys, Hope restructured her business, reclaimed her energy, and healed years of self-sacrifice and disordered patterns. Together, she and Kehla explore how her undefined root center, 55th Gene Key (victimization to freedom), and 3/5 profile shaped her transformation from rigidity to flow—and how she now guides powerhouse women to stop bypassing their bodies and honor their unique energetic design for sustainable success.

    In this episode of What She Did Next, Kehla sits down with Ebonie Allard—Artist, Entrepreneur, Human Design & Gene Keys Guide, and podcast host—for a deeply vulnerable and illuminating conversation about self-intimacy, devotion, and redefining success on your own terms.

    Ebonie shares how years of scaling her business, managing team turnover, and chasing the next level left her exhausted and questioning her path. Her transformation began when she turned inward, confronting her core wound of half-heartedness (Gene Key 29) and softening into a new way of leading—one rooted in self-love, presence, and invisible impact.

    Together, they explore how the turbulence of entrepreneurship can reveal where we’ve been rejecting ourselves, why intimacy with self is the ultimate foundation for sustainable success, and how Ebonie’s “45 Soft” practice became a devotional antidote to hustle culture.

    Listeners will hear how Ebonie now supports culture-makers and visionaries to embrace softness, align with their natural rhythms, and create ripples of impact without burning out.

    Analena shares how, after years of following cookie-cutter business strategies and investing thousands into programs that didn’t feel right, she hit a breaking point of frustration and burnout. Her turning point came when she discovered Human Design and Gene Keys—and later, True Sidereal astrology—which gave her the permission to stop outsourcing her power and start creating success her way.

    Together, they explore the difference between forcing growth and allowing alignment, how the 64 Genius Archetypes became a cornerstone of Analena’s work, and why letting go of rigid “shoulds” created more flow, joy, and success in her business.

Through Human Design and the Gene Keys, she found a way to alchemize her struggles, reclaim her voice, and rebuild a business rooted in clarity, compassion, and true alignment.

      • E #473: Manifestation, Trust, and the Messy Middle with Stephanie Zito

        In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode, Kehla welcomes manifestation coach and speaker Stephanie Zito for a deep-dive into the real, raw, and often misunderstood world of manifestation. What starts as a catch-up between two panelists from a recent speaking event quickly turns into a rich exploration of navigating chaos, karmic cut-offs, and self-leadership during times of upheaval.

        Stephanie shares her own transformative journey—how ignoring red flags, moving for a relationship, and hitting a personal low led to a complete life recalibration that launched her into her dream career, location, and partnership. The conversation dives into the nuances of what it really means to be “decided,” how manifestation isn’t just about positive vibes or vision boards, and why trusting the process is more powerful than trying to control the outcome.

        Kehla and Stephanie unpack the energetics of trust, what it looks like to hit perceived ceilings in business and life, and how chaos can be the very catalyst for our next level. Together, they bust myths around being high vibe, address the fears that slow down momentum, and normalize the emotional rollercoaster that comes with manifesting big shifts.

        Whether you’re in a season of messy middle or ready for an energetic upgrade, this episode is a must-listen reminder that manifestation is more about self-awareness, aligned action, and emotional sovereignty than anything else.
