E #417: Why ‘this is what works’ doesn’t work: the Human Design perspective


Listen Later

Why does following proven strategies still leave so many entrepreneurs feeling drained, inconsistent, or quietly misaligned?

In this episode, Kehla explores why “this is what works” advice so often breaks down — especially for business owners who are intuitive, sensitive, or deeply attuned to their inner authority. Through the lens of Human Design, she examines how generic strategy can create subtle self-betrayal, even when it appears successful on the surface.

This conversation isn’t about rejecting structure or discipline. It’s about restoring discernment.

Listeners are invited to consider how Human Design reframes decision-making in business, why copying strategies without context leads to pressure and burnout, and how alignment isn’t something to optimize — but something to recognize when external authority is no longer driving decisions.

This episode is for entrepreneurs who are tired of forcing themselves into methods that don’t fit, and who are seeking a more sustainable, self-trusting approach to growth, offers, and leadership.

No prior knowledge of Human Design is required. Listeners are encouraged to notice where familiar advice creates tension — and where clarity begins to emerge instead.
