Holistic Career Change

Discover your healer archetype here

In this episode, I get real about what I'd do differently if I started my career change today—no polish, just honest truth.

What we cover:

• The Tuesday I quit my government job with no plan (and the terror that followed)
• Why endless research and "one more course" keeps you stuck
• The 6-month roadmap I wish I'd had

Month 1: Get brutally honest about what you actually want (not what sounds good)

Month 2: Run messy experiments—coffee chats, small projects, real testing (clarity comes from action, not planning)

Month 3: Build something simple while you still have income (one offer, basic online presence, actual conversations)

Months 4-6: Plan your exit responsibly (save 3-6 months expenses, line up bridge work, set a real date)

The truth: You'll never feel ready. The perfect time doesn't exist. But staying misaligned hurts worse than the discomfort of change.

Action step: Pick ONE thing from this episode and do it this week. Not soon—this week.

If you're still feeling STUCK & would like to have personalised support to ensure that 2026 is the year when you FINALLY pivot - I have a few 1:1 coaching spots opening in January and February. 

Let's make 2026 your pivot year!

Welcome to our new Lightworker Archetype Series! In this first episode, we're exploring what it looks like when the Alchemist, Performer, and Mystic archetypes come together in one person's work and business.

Lidia Lins spent 15 years building a successful career in environmental science—studying deep-sea organisms at 10,000 meters underwater, earning a double PhD, winning grants and prizes. But music was her first love at age 12, buried under the weight of what felt like a "real career." After a profound plant medicine experience, everything changed. She heard the truth she'd been silencing: her purpose wasn't to study life from the outside, but to breathe life back into people through sound and voice.

Today, Lidia merges her backgrounds in science, therapy, and yoga into a unique approach to voice activation—helping people reconnect with their authentic selves and communicate from their deepest truth. She released her debut album "Libertad" (Freedom) in 2023 and created "Your Naked Voice Mentorship," a 12-week program guiding others to vocal authenticity.

In this conversation, we explore:

• How success in a misaligned career can trap us into more misalignment
• The journey from burnout to aligned purpose
• How different environments can silence our voice (literally and metaphorically)
• The practical side of building a healing business: pricing, boundaries, and staying authentic
• Why voice work is one of the most suppressed yet powerful healing modalities
• A simple humming exercise you can try today

Not all healers are the same. Artists, Earth Guardians, Revolutionaries, Architects - there are 10 distinct Lightworker Archetypes, each with their own medicine and business model.

In this episode, I’m sharing how this system came through me, why it feels like deep ancestral remembrance, and why it’s emerging RIGHT NOW as healers worldwide are waking up to their calling.

If you’re a healer (or someone wants to become a healer) who’s spent years (and thousands of dollars) trying to figure out your gifts and how to build an aligned business - start here.

Join me for an incredibly inspiring conversation with Annore and Kellie, two powerhouse women from the recent Holistic Career Change Group who courageously listened to that inner voice whispering "there has to be more than this." We dive deep into the physical and emotional toll of career misalignment - from what Annore calls "emotional inflammation" to the Sunday scaries that signal our nervous system's response to work that doesn't fit our soul.

In this raw and honest discussion, we explore the limiting stories we tell ourselves about why we can't change ("my skills only work in this industry"), the unexpected challenge of loved ones who resist our aligned path, and what it really takes to build a soul-centered career after decades in traditional roles. You'll also hear about their exciting new businesses that light them up from the inside out, plus the messy, non-linear reality of manifesting your vision into existence. 

ABOUT ANNORE

Annore is an endlessly curious, multifaceted guide weaving a soulful online space to share the wealth of insight she's gathered, lived, and lovingly applied over the years. 

Annore is the creator of an Aligned Parenting by Design where she blends over 25 years of nannying experience with Human Design to support parents in raising children with presence, care, and deep energetic understanding. Her other offering, Unfold and Align, introduces Human Design as the first pillar in a growing body of embodiment practices — creating gentle, grounded tools to help others return to their rhythm, their truth, and their inner steadiness in a world that so often pulls us away.

Hi friends - this week's episode is quite raw & vulnerable. I've decided to openly about share what I've been going through behind-the-scenes of running my holistic career change practice.

I share about the pivot I'm going through in my business, chat about shifts in the collective & my old but also new identity as a practitioner AND let you in on the end of my long-term relationship. 

It's an honest & sober episode that was not so easy to record. I hope you find a moment or two in this episode that will invite you to reflect on your own journey as well 🤍

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Rebecca, a graduate of my Holistic Career Change group program, who shares her powerful transformation from people-pleasing perfectionist to someone who makes aligned decisions through her body's wisdom. Rebecca opens up about being a "serial class taker" with too many interests and no clarity, and how a vivid childhood memory shaped years of climbing the professional ladder solely for approval and validation.

We explore Rebecca's journey of learning to tune into her "loud body" as an internal navigation system, discovering her identity as an emotional projector, and shattering limiting beliefs about being bad at decision-making and never finishing things. 

She shares practical insights about setting boundaries at work, asking for help, overcoming shiny object syndrome, and building self-awareness to course-correct when slipping into old patterns. Rebecca also discusses launching her beautiful multipotentialite business, moving through comparison mode, and learning to build an aligned venture in strategic phases while honoring how all her past experiences now weave together perfectly to support her new path.

ABOUT REBECCA

Rebecca is the Creator, Editor, and Curator of Compassionate Contrarian, a website and blog dedicated to cultivating knowledge and power in changemakers, wellness seekers, and curious souls.

In this episode, I dive deep into Human Design with a Human Design initiator Kat Smith, exploring how understanding your energetic blueprint can transform your career path. 

We'll Cover:

• Why Human Design feels inaccessible and how to cut through the confusion
• The difference between teaching Human Design vs. living it 
• How each energy type can build aligned businesses and careers
• Why your decision-making authority matters more than knowing your "purpose"

Common Human Design Mistakes:

• Getting caught up in "mind candy" like incarnation crosses before living the basics
• Trying to hack your purpose instead of following strategy and authority
• Learning from uncertified teachers who teach their personal truth vs. the mechanics
• Focusing on what your design means rather than how to live it daily

Practical Applications for Careers:

• Authority as your compass: Check in with your decision-making mechanism before posting, pricing, or taking clients
• Energy management: Understanding your consistent vs. inconsistent energy centers
• Authentic attraction: Cleaning up your frequency attracts your specific people
• Timing everything: Emotional beings need time, splenic beings trust instant knowing

Reflection Questions:

• Am I making decisions from my mind or my authority?
• What does my body want to do today?
• Am I trying to be someone else's version of success?
• What would following my authority look like in my business decisions?

ABOUT KAT:

Kat is a Human Design Educator, Shamanic Practitioner, Cacao Medicine Ceremonialist, Orgasmic Preacher, Peaceful Role Model, Voice of the New Awareness. She offers Heart-led & Human Design-informed spaces and education for others to find their peace and understanding in the same way she has.

In this episode, I explore the profound cycle of death and rebirth we experience during career transitions. Learn why letting go of old identities is essential before you can fully step into your new path and how resisting this natural cycle keeps you stuck in limbo.

What We'll Cover:

• How nature's wisdom teaches us to embrace both death and rebirth
• The biological parallel of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in our personal transformations
• Why you can't fully bloom in your new season without releasing the old

Signs You're Stuck Between Identities:

Clinging to Past Status

Introducing yourself by your former title

Checking your old company's updates obsessively

Keeping your corporate ID "just in case"

Hiding your current financial reality while comparing to past income

Using Safety Mechanisms

Endless credential collecting before launching

Perfectionism preventing you from publishing your work

Maintaining unnecessary backup plans

Comparing your beginning to others' middle chapters

Making Decisions from Fear

Setting prices based on old industry standards

Taking clients who drain your energy but validate your old identity

Constantly moving the legitimacy goalpost

Exhaustion from maintaining dual identities

Reflection Questions for Your Journey:

• Are you experiencing physical symptoms of being in liminal space (insomnia, anxiety)?
• Do you speak of your new path in present tense ("I am") or future tense ("I'm hoping to")?
• What parts of your previous identity serve as your "backup plan"?
• How does your calendar reflect your true priorities and identity?
• What would complete surrender to your new path look like?
• Are you making decisions from abundance or scarcity?
• Is your nervous system sp
• What would your future self lovingly tell you to let go of right now?

Just as nature flows through its seasons without resistance, you too can embrace both the winter of letting go and the summer of full bloom in your career evolution.
