The Human Design Podcast

In today's episode I am joined by Hope Pedraza, a functional medicine practitioner who blends human design with functional health.

Hope works right where your energy and your physical body meet, and she has a real knack for showing how the two map onto each other. We get into burnout, and the reframe at the heart of this conversation: burnout isn't about how much you're doing, it's about the energy behind the doing and who you're being while you do it. We talk about the difference between burnout and functional burnout for sacral beings, how each one actually shows up on your labs, and why your undefined centres so often hold the clue to what's going on in your body. 

Hope shares why she starts with minerals as the foundation, how the root centre ties straight to your adrenals and hormones, and why the blanket "it's all about your gut" messaging is doing us a disservice. This one is for the visionaries who are done forcing and ready to listen to what their body has been telling them all along.

I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach

Big love,

In today's Weekly Wrap I give you the one question I want you to keep asking yourself, in your business and in your life: am I bringing reasons or results?

Reasons are usually the reasons we haven't done the thing yet. Results are what's actually happening, what we can influence, what we can do better. This is the difference between being at cause and being at effect, the author of your reality or the passenger waiting for life to happen to you. I've got open loops I can't close right now, but I can keep my hand on the wheel and keep making choices that head me where I want to go. That's where your power is, and that's where things start to flow.

I also get into the reframe that set me free when I stopped waiting for something to arrive, why it's worth auditing the old stories you're still carrying, and my honest take on the latest AI news.

I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach

In today's episode, I coach Kathryn, who ran a retreat container she loved, that her clients loved, and that left her financially drained. Since then, she has been quietly questioning whether the model is broken or whether she is the problem.

Kathryn is a 3/5 Generator.

We unpack why the offer she keeps walking away from is actually the one most aligned with her design, why a small audience is the real conversion problem (not her messaging), and what it looks like when a visionary tries to carry the implementation herself. We also get into pricing with courage instead of fear, what her design says about needing support to lead, and why the thing that lit her up most is not something she should be giving up on.

If you have ever had a taste of doing the work you were born to do, only to talk yourself out of it because the numbers didn't add up, this one is for you.

In today's episode I am sharing what's been on my mind, in my world, and moving through my life this week.

It's been a heavy few weeks. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. I talk about what it's actually like to hit an emotional wave when you're an emotional being, and what cracked open for me when I leaned into the support that was right in front of me.

I also get into something I've been sitting with: the difference between needing a man and wanting one. How money, AI, and Human Design are weaving together to give women real safety and protection on their own terms. And why building that foundation isn't about closing yourself off to love,  it's about knowing you never have to settle.

In today's episode I am joined by Lindsey Simcik, co-host of the Almost 30 Podcast.

Lindsey's story is one of the most honest accounts of what it actually looks like to trust the zigzag. From aspiring actress to SoulCycle instructor to launching a podcast on a closet floor with a $15 recorder, she and co-host Krista Williams built one of the most beloved female-led podcasts in the world by following their intuition before they even knew that's what they were doing.

In this conversation, Lindsey and I get into what the zigzag really costs, including grieving a dream that expired, navigating a decade-long business partnership through cross-country moves and personal pivots, and what it means to trust your emotional authority when you're making decisions in real time. We also talk about the power of women building together, why Almost 30 became a permission slip for so many to start exploring the softer arts, and the book Lindsey co-wrote with Krista, which is all about that potent, disorienting season of life when everything is shifting and you can't yet see what's being born.

In today's episode I'm doing a weekly wrap, getting real about what's been a genuinely tough couple of weeks, and what I've been learning in the thick of it.

This one gets personal. My eldest left for overseas, my youngest got hit with some hard news, our support person left, and my nervous system has been well and truly activated. But mixed in with all of that has been some real beauty too, walks to the lighthouse, tea ceremony, kinesiology with Zoe Bosco, and the most extraordinary women showing up as heroes when I needed them most. I talk about the longing so many of us carry for safety and protection, why "finding it within" is both true and incomplete, what it actually looks like to let yourself be softer without losing your strength, and why right now might be the time to put down responsibility that was never yours to carry. I also get into my investing experiments with Claude, why an avoidance strategy only works until it doesn't, the blood test I put off for ten months, and what nervous system regulation actually looks like when life is running at full capacity.

This episode is permission to be in the thick of it. Not to quit. Not to phone it in. Just to be human.

In today's episode I am joined by astrologer Lauren Hansen and Human Design specialist Yvette Mayer for our monthly energy update, weaving astrology and Human Design to help you navigate what's coming.

May brought it for all of us. We open with a real debrief on Uranus into Gemini, the Sagittarius full moon, and why the last two weeks hit so hard for so many people. Then we move into June.

We cover the Venus-Jupiter conjunction on June 9th, the most expansive transit of the year and why it lands right when the channel of money is activated in Human Design. The Gemini new moon on June 14th and what it opens up. Mercury's pre-retrograde shadow phase kicking in on June 12th and what to sort out before it hits. Venus moving into Leo and what stirs in love, desire, and self-worth. The Mars-Uranus conjunction at the end of the month and why you'll want to slow down even when everything in you wants to move fast. And the Capricorn full moon on the 29th, what it brings to the surface, why it can feel like pressure, and how not to be too hard on yourself when it does.

If you've been in the thick of it lately, this one will help you make sense of why.

In today's episode I'm talking about money, AI, and why so many women still don't feel financially safe, even when they're earning well.

I share what's been lighting me up this week: a fascinating conversation with Alex Zeck inside HDx on how we're sold health narratives that don't hold up to scrutiny, why I'm building female-led companies into my AI investing criteria, and what the Scott Galloway episode on Diary of a CEO got so right about the fear-mongering around AI. I also get real about something that happened in my own home this week that reminded me how often women are walking around feeling unsafe, and how money and AI are two of the most practical tools we have to change that. And I talk about perseverance: what it actually takes to build a business, and why determination is the thing most people underestimate.

If you've ever felt financially capable but still financially unsafe, this one's for you.

In today's episode I am joined by Carol Allen, Vedic astrologer and relationship astrology expert.

Carol has spent over 35 years working with clients through the lens of Jyotish, the ancient Indian system of astrology. In this conversation we get into what Vedic astrology actually is, how it differs from Western astrology, and why it's been so deeply woven into Indian culture for thousands of years. We also explore what the chart can reveal about purpose, partnership, and timing and I get my own chart read live, including what's coming up for me in love (spoiler: it's a good window).

If you've ever wondered whether the big things in your life are written, or felt like your purpose only really clicked later in life, this one will resonate.

In today's episode I'm trying something new.

This is the first Weekly Wrap, a Monday episode where I share what I loved, what I'm learning, what's irritating me off, and what we're focusing on in HDx. It's an experiment, and I'd love your feedback on it.

This week I cover my latest EMDR session and why it cracked something open that years of conscious effort hadn't. I share what I'm learning about investing and why I think every woman needs to get across this now. I talk about my three-week dating app experiment, what I learned about myself, and why I deleted it without a second thought. I get into what's irritating me about the Australian government and why I think it matters more than most of us want to admit. And I finish with what we're focusing on in HDx this month, next-level manifestation and the identity of the person receiving.

If you've been listening for a while and have no idea what your Human Design is, this episode is also a reminder that this podcast is more than Human Design. It's how I think, how I work, and how I create. Come for the design, stay for the rest.

I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach
