The Soul Aligned Podcast | Human Design & Energetics for Spiritual Entrepreneurs

I'm turning 52, I've got a birthday coming up, and this time I'm doing things differently: no full script, just a spontaneous catch-up to see where the conversation takes me. We're talking life, business, seasonal rhythms (which you know I love) and yes, a little Ted Lasso. Please tell me you watch that show.

I'll catch you up on what's new: welcoming new voice clients (both in person and virtual) and 1:1 coaching clients, spending time with friends in Toronto, and hosting my first Soul Spa Day. I'm also sharing what I'm looking forward to this fall, including time with family and a chance to slow down and rest.

As a spiritual entrepreneur, I can get caught up in thinking I need to add more to my offers or do things in a certain way. In this birthday check-in, I'm reflecting on a business pivot that didn't go to plan, what I learned about trusting myself, and why making more space can help me hear what feels right.

If you're a woman entrepreneur building a soul-aligned business, I hope this conversation reminds you that you're allowed to find you're own rhythm, follow your calling, and lead with intention. I'm also sharing how Human Design, spirituality, and listening inward shape the way I show up in life and business.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Turning 52 (yep, it's true) and what's new for me
• Creating seasonal rhythms for my life and business
• The business program I chose to cancel and how it taught me about trust
• Overthinking my offers and remembering I don't need to do more
• Following my calling as a woman entrepreneur
• Leading with intention, "How can I serve more intentionally?"
• Human Design, spirituality, and soul-aligned business
• My upcoming Soul Spa Day for women entrepreneurs
• A little Ted Lasso, a few favourite podcasts, and the joy of going off script

I'm Andrea Crisp, host of the Soul Aligned Podcast, where I talk about Human Design, energetics, spirituality, and staying connected to your soul's path in life and business.

I'm planning another Soul Spa Day on Monday, November 2—a day for soulful, intentional conversations about entrepreneurship, life, and business. Follow me on Instagram for details and RSVP information.

EFT Tapping For Fear of Rejection & Fear of Being Seen

What if the reason you keep hiding isn't because you lack confidence but because being seen feels vulnerable?

In this guided EFT tapping practice, we're working with the fear of rejection, fear of being seen, limiting beliefs, and the nervous system patterns that can cause you to pull back after putting yourself out there.

Maybe you share your voice, make an offer, show up online, take a courageous step and the suddenly want to hide again.

You may find yourself overthinking, second guessing yourself, worrying about what people think or deciding you need to do more inner work before you're ready.

Underneath this pattern may be the belief:

"It's safe to stay unseen than to rish being rejected."

In this episode, we'll use EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) to acknowledge the part of you that learned to hide while creating space for a new belief:

"I can be seen and still be safe within myself."

In This Episode:

• EFT tapping for fear of rejection

• Fear of being seen and fear of visibility

• Limiting beliefs and self-doubt

• Nervous system regulation

• Why you may put yourself out there and then pull back

• The connection between vulnerability and feeling unsafe

• Building self-trust through inner work

• Learning to be visible without abandoning yourself

• Moving from hiding to aligned action

Soul Reflection:

After the tapping sequence, ask yourself: Where in my life am I repeating a pattern of putting myself out there and then hiding again? And perhaps the deeper question: Can I let myself be seen without abandoning myself when I don't know how I'm going to be received.

You don't have to be fearless. You can learn to feel vulnerable and still stay connected to yourself.

Why do you keep hiding after you've made yourself visible, even when you've done the mindset work, read the books, and tried the practices?

In this episode of the Soul Aligned Podcast, we explore how subcsious beliefs and nervous system pattenrs that can keep you from cycling between wating to be seen and retreating to feel safe. We explore how inner work can help your recognize the protective beliefs beneath the patterns, reconnect with your intuition, and take steps toward your purpose without abandoning yourself.

We discuss the roles of mindset work, somatic practices, nervous system regulation, and Human Design and why the goal isn't to collect more tools, but to undersatd what helps you feel safe to move forward in a way that feels safe to you. We reflect on how coaching can help reveal blind spots and support lasting change.

In this episode, you'll hear about:

• Why you may pull back after putting yourself out there
• The subconscious beliefs that can make visibility feel unsafe
• How to recognize self-doubt, overthinking, and playing small as patterns
• The connection between beliefs, the body, and nervous system safety
• How mindset work, somatic practices, and Human Design can support inner work
• Why a coach or trusted guide can help you see your blind spots
• A reflection to help you explore being seen without abandoning yourself

Soul reflection: What are you afraid might happen if you allow yourself to be seen as the person you're becoming? Can you let yourself be visible without abandoning yourself, even if you don't know how you'll be received?

Knowing your calling is one thing, but having the courage to answer and say yes to it is another.

In this final episode of The Call series, Andrea gets personal about what it actually takes to answer a calling once you've recognized it. She shares her own journey — from writing her faith-based book Design with Purpose to evolving into the Soul Aligned Coach she is today — and how the through-line of her calling never changed, even as the way she expressed it transformed completely. If you've ever felt like the way you used to talk about your life, your business, or yourself no longer fits, this episode names exactly why that shift feels so disorienting, and so necessary.

Andrea also brings Human Design into the conversation as a framework for taking aligned action instead of hoping-for-the-best action. Whether you lead with sacral authority, emotional authority, or another strategy entirely, she walks through how understanding your energetic blueprint gives you the discernment to know when a step is truly yours to take — and the nervous system safety to take it, even when it's scary, even when it risks disappointing people, even when you have no idea what's on the other side.

We Dive Into:

• Why outgrowing an old way of being doesn't mean you're lost — it means you're growing.
• Why your fear of disappointing the people in your life may be keeping you from your next step.
• Why Human Design can help you navigate your next step in life and business.

Soul Reflection: Where in your life or business have you outgrown the way you used to show up — and what would it look like to let yourself actually be seen before you feel ready?

Aligned Action: If you're curious about your Human Design and what it says about how you're meant to move through your calling, this is your invitation to book a Human Design Reading (includes a full PDF outline, an audio walkthrough, and a live call with Andrea).

Let's Work Together: A soul-aligned, 1:1 coaching experience for intuitive women entrepreneurs ready to expand into ease, abundance, and impact. Together, we work through energy, embodiment, and deep inner work to help you trust yourself, take aligned action, and build a business — and life — that actually feels like you.

What if you don't need more information you simply need space to hear what you already know? In this episode of The Soul Aligned Podcast, we explore how to recognize your intuitive nudges, release inherited conditioning, and create inner safety to follow the path that your soul is calling you toward.

"What if you didn't require more information? What if you just need space to be able to tune in to what you already know to be true?"

In the second episode of The Call, A three-part series on the inner knowing that invites us back to the truth of who we are, our soul's path, and the deeper alignment that allows us to fulfill our purpose.

In this episode, Andrea shares how intuition and discernment work together: intuition brings the nudge, while discernment helps you understand whether and when it yours to act on. She explores the ways family, culture, past experiences, and approval seeking can cloud our inner voice and why nervous system safety is an essentail part of trusting yourself.

You'll also hear how Human Design can offer language and a practical framework for understanding your unique decision-making process, strategy, and authority. If you've been feeling a shift in your life, relationships, work or business, this conversation is an invitation to pause, to tune in, and to trust that your soul knows the way.

Soul Reflection: Where in your life are you seeking more proof, permission, or outside validation when what you may need most is a quiet space to listen to your own inner knowing.

We dive into:

• Intuition offers insight; discernment helps you decide whether that insight is for you and whether it is time to act.
• Old conditioning can sould like wisdom. Learning to distinguish inherited expectations from your own truth creates more freedom and self-trust.
• Your nervous system may resist change simply because it is unfamiliar. Creating safety in your body can make it easier to follow aligned, soul-led choices.

Lately, I've been sitting with this feeling that I think so many of us know, even when we don't have words to describe it. It is that sense that something inside of us is shifing and drawing us closer to our divine purpose. Maybe your life right now looks good from the outside. Maybe your business is working. But deep down, you can feel that there is something more for you and that you are being invited to step towards the truth of who you are.

In this first episode of The Call, I am sharing from a very real place in my own life. I talk about the moments in my life when I have felt called, the ways I lost my way by looking outside of myself for answers, and how it has impacted my own faith journey and relationship with God and my deeper intuition. This is not about having a perfect plan for your life or changing your life. It's about being willing to listen to the divine nudge that is nudging you towards your soul's purpose.

We dive into:

• Why your calling doesn't always arrive with clarity or certainty.
• What it means to let your spirituality co-exist with your leadership.
• Why following someone else's advice for your life may lead you off course.

Let's work together:

If you are in a season of change and things are shifting, and you desire deeper support finding your way back to your yourself, I would love to walk alongside you.

"Am I creating from a place of expansion or just overextending myself?" What if growing your business did not require you to abandon yourself in the process? In this episode, we explore the important difference between healthy expansion and overextension—and why more effort, more availability, and more pushing are not always the path to meaningful success. This is a conversation for intuitive women, spiritual entrepreneurs, and leaders who are ready to create a bigger impact without disconnecting from their own needs, desires, or nervous system. We dive into how creating from desire rather than desperation changes the energy behind your work. Through the lens of embodiment, nervous system regulation, and Human Design, you'll be invited to consider a more aligned way of leading, creating, making decisions, and being visible in your business. You do not have to follow someone else's playbook to build something beautiful, sustainable, and deeply your own. Key Takeaways:

• Learn how to recognize the difference between expansion and overextension.
• Explore why urgency can pull you out of embodied, meaningful creation.
• Discover how desire-led creation supports more authentic visibility and leadership.

Original Music and Production By Stephen Crilly.

What does it really mean to stand in your power?

In this episode of the Soul Aligned Podcast, we explore the difference between feeling powerful and being deeply rooted in your own power. Because real self-trust doesn't always arrive with certainty. Sometimes it looks like setting boundaries, releasing people-pleasing, following the next small nudge, and allowing yourself to be misunderstood as you grow.

Andrea shares her own reflections on regulating your nervous system, trusting your intuition, and moving forward without needing to know the entire plan. If you're in a season of change, identity shifts, or learning to make aligned decisions without external validation, this is the conversation for you.

You'll be reminded that discomfort is not proof you're off track. It may be evidence that you're becoming more available for the life you're soul is calling you toward.

"Just because I don't feel powerful doesn't necessarily mean that I'm not in my power."

Soul Reflection: Where are you being invited to trust yourself before you have all the evidence, approval, or certainty? Notice what changes when you let discomfort be part of your expansion—not a sign to abandon yourself.

We dive into:

• Why standing in your power may disappoint people—and that does not mean you are doing something wrong. As you release people-pleasing and over-explaining, your relationships will shift.
• You do not need the entire plan to take an aligned step. Follow the bread-crumbs:trust the nudge in front of you, then allow the next step to reveal itself.
• Feeling uncertain does not mean you are out of alignment. Regulating your nervous system can help create safety in the unknown, making it easer to hear and trust your intuition.

We've all experienced rejection. Someone doesn't choose us. A potential client says no. An invitation isn't reciprocated. An offer does not sell the way we hoped. Or someone simply doesn't respond.

And while rejection can genuinely hurt, the deeper pain ususally comes from the meaning we attach to it. We question our worth, why we weren't chosen or if we did something wrong.

In this episode of The Soul Aligned Podcast, we explore what's really happening underneath the sting of rejection—and how rejection can activate old wounds around belonging, worthiness, visibility, and being chosen.

I share a personal experience of when I put myself out there and realizing that my own fear is not really about someone saying no, it's how my nervous system anticipates rejection before it ever happens.

When we've experienced rejection in the past, our nervous system can begin scanning for the possibility of experiencing it again. We may start overthinking, checking for responses, changing our approach, people-pleasing, over-explaining or questioning ourselves before anyone has even said no.

The work isn't to become someone who never experiences rejection. The work is to become someone who doesn't abandon herself when rejection happens.

We explore how Human Design authority can give us a practical framework for navigating rejection without immediately turning to the mind for answers.

Have you ever found yourself looking at someone else's business, podcast, social media or success and wondering if you should be doing what they're doing?

Comparison doesn't always show up as jealousy. Sometimes it shows up as self-abandonment.

In this episode, we explore how easy it is to disconnect from our own inner knowing when we begin chasing someone else's path. I share a personal story about when I was tempted to replicate someone else's success and how it led me to realizing that you can never borrow alignment.

This conversation is an invitation to stop outsourcing your decisions, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and trust the unique path that's unfolding for you.

We dive into:

• Why comparison is often an invitation to return to yourself.
• The difference between inspiration and imitation.
• How trust is build one aligned decision at a time.
• Why Human Design can help you understand your unique way of leading, creating and making aligned decisions.

Soul Reflection:

• Where have a been looking outside of myself for answers?
• What feels deeply aligned for me right now?
• If I trusted myself completely what decision would I make?
