 The Hidden Conditioning Driving Your Business
What if the way you learned to earn love is still shaping your leadership?

What if the body becomes the messenger when your life is out of alignment?

In this powerful episode, Brooke Dukes shares the life-altering moment that forced her to confront everything she believed about success, safety, and leadership—going into preterm labor on a corporate jet while working for a Fortune 100 company.

What followed wasn’t just a career pivot—it was a complete redefinition of what it means to lead with integrity.

Brooke unpacks how early conditioning around safety and achievement shaped her drive, how burnout shows up when identity evolves faster than business structures, and why so many high performers are sprinting toward a finish line that doesn’t actually exist. Together, we explore what it means to lead from emotional authority, align with your true values, and build a blueprint for leadership that actually matches how you’re wired.

This isn’t a one-time “aha.” It’s a ritual. A recalibration. And a call to lead differently in 2026.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why preterm labor became a wake-up call for true alignment
• How “success” is often rooted in safety—not ambition
• The hidden cost of living in conditioned responses
• Why burnout is often a signal, not a failure
• How to recognize when your identity has evolved—but your business hasn’t
• What it means to lead from emotional authority
• How to build a leadership blueprint that matches how you’re actually built

Key question explored:
👉 What would it look like to lead from your truth in 2026?

If you’re a leader, entrepreneur, or high-performer feeling the tension between who you’ve become and the structures you’re operating in—this conversation will resonate deeply.

Before you vision board, build your Q1 plan, or set another goal for 2026—pause. Because if your nervous system is dysregulated and your decisions are rooted in fear, you’ll only recreate the same patterns in a new year with a different label.

In this powerful year-end episode, I share six essential energetic shifts to help you release 2025, recalibrate your inner authority, and consciously create 2026 from alignment instead of pressure, hustle, or comparison.

You’ll learn how to:

• Stabilize before you strategize so your plans come from clarity—not fear
• Reconnect to your Human Design authority and stop outsourcing your power
• Clear shadow patterns and conditioning that no longer fit who you’re becoming
• Anchor into the frequency of what you desire, not just a to-do list
• Create from truth, not tactics so your success is sustainable and fulfilling
• Build from embodiment instead of force, so your life and business feel aligned

We talk identity, nervous system regulation, boundaries, joy, and why slowing down is often the fastest path to real success. If 2025 stretched you, broke you open, or forced you to let go—this episode will help you integrate it all and step into 2026 grounded, sovereign, and fully aligned.

✨ Plus, if you’re new to Human Design, I share how to discover your authority and start making decisions with confidence and clarity.

If you’re ready to stop performing, stop chasing, and start creating from your truth—this episode is for you.

Three years ago, Brooke walked away from a 16-year career, a toxic company, and a life-altering legal battle with nothing but her intuition and a system she barely understood yet — Human Design. What followed was a complete unraveling…and a powerful rebuilding from the inside out.

In this deeply personal episode, Brooke shares the full arc of her transformation — from the first subtle “pings” of Human Design years before her breakdown, to the moment it became her lifeline through emotional upheaval, identity loss, and uncertainty. As a 5/1 Manifesting Generator with Emotional Authority, she reveals how learning to ride emotional waves instead of reacting to them changed everything.

You’ll hear how:

• Specific aspects of her chart (including Gate 48.5, Channel 32–54, and an undefined Will) helped her navigate fear, ambition, worthiness, and pressure
• Human Design reshaped the way she chooses clients, builds offers, and prevents burnout
• Her Incarnation Cross of Endeavor taught her how to build sustainable success through aligned persistence
• Daily chart work, journaling, and emotional awareness turned chaos into clarity

This episode isn’t about learning Human Design as a modality — it’s about living it as a way of being. Brooke shares why HD didn’t “change” her… it returned her to herself.

If you’re in transition, rebuilding, or craving alignment in your life and business, this episode is for you.
