What if you're not actually avoiding the work?

You know the thing.

You KNOW what needs to happen.

You sit down to do it.

And suddenly you need to reorganize something, check something, think about something, possibly make a cup of coffee…. 😂

This reading got into that whole “why the heck can't I just DO the thing?” problem and what might actually be going on underneath it.

Because this is where Human Design gets interesting. You can ask the exact same coaching question and get a completely different answer depending on who's sitting in the chair.

Come listen to me pick this one apart →

If you've created a work schedule that looks completely reasonable on paper but still can't seem to get yourself to actually do the work, you might assume you have a procrastination, motivation, or discipline problem. You've got the time blocked out. You know what needs to happen. So why are you suddenly reorganizing your desk?

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at procrastination, productivity, work style, and why knowing what you need to do doesn't always translate into doing it. We get into what can happen when you stop treating follow-through as a character flaw and start looking at the person actually trying to work inside that schedule.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

That's what the Business Cleanout is for.

You send me the messy version of your business, your responsibilities, your projects, your team, your life.

I'll take your whole pile and turn it around within 30 days.

Because you don't need to spend another month trying to make everything fit.

You need to see what can change so you can crush the goals you've been dreaming about and still be there for the kids.

Okay. I've been doing these little chart readings for everybody ELSE…. 'Til I thought, “Hang on. What happens if I do it for MYSELF?” 😂

So that's what I did. And I got to hear myself say all the things I tell everybody else. Like:

“How can I let this be easy?”
“You probably need to delegate that.”
“You don't actually have to be working every day.”
“Stop building your life around somebody else's definition of consistency.”

Kinda rude. 😂

So yes. I did my own reading.

Come listen to me turn the lens back on myself →

If you've ever had a Human Design reading and thought, “Okay, that's great... but what does this actually have to do with my business and my life?”, this is the experiment that puts the whole thing to the test. Because this time, Alyssa turned the chart-reading lens back on herself.

In this Human Design self-reading, Alyssa gets into Human Design for business, work style, delegation, productivity, consistency, and the pressure to work and live according to someone else's definition of success. It's a chance to hear what happens when the person doing the reading has to sit on the other side of the conversation for once.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

What if you stopped needing the next thing to work?

What if you could just… try it? What if you didn't have to know whether it was going to work before you started??

What if you could treat the whole thing like a little experiment?

Try something. See what happens. Get the data. Try again.

This reading really got into that energy - especially because once we looked at her actual business and life, there were some VERY obvious places to release that pressure.

If you find yourself needing every new idea, offer, launch, or experiment to work before you're willing to try it, you may be carrying a lot more pressure than you realize. It can be hard to experiment when every decision feels like it needs to produce a clear result.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at business experimentation, decision-making, perfectionism, and the pressure to make every idea successful. We get into what happens when you stop treating every new thing as a test you have to pass and start thinking about your business more like a place where you can try things, gather information, and see what happens.

Some people look at a business and go, “Wow. This is working.”

She looks at it and goes, “Okay, but what's missing?” 😂

What are the gaps? What could make this better? What else needs to happen?

And when I saw that pattern in her reading, I wanted to talk about what happens when that way of seeing becomes your default setting.

Because it can be an incredible gift - especially when you’re in business for yourself.

If you're constantly looking at your business and thinking, “Okay, but what's missing?”, you may find it almost impossible to simply sit back and enjoy what's already working. There's always another gap, another opportunity, another improvement, another thing that could make the whole thing better.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at business growth, problem-solving, optimization, and the tendency to keep looking for what's next. We get into what happens when you recognize that seeing what's missing can be a real entrepreneurial strength, while also getting curious about what happens when that becomes your default way of seeing everything.

Where did our moment-by-moment enjoyment of life go?

Somewhere along the way, we started making our own happiness conditional on the next revenue goal, the next launch, the next metric, the next thing we can prove.

And meanwhile, there’s a whole world of quiet, daily happiness happening around us.

The coffee. The deep-focus work you actually enjoy. The kids playing. The beautiful afternoon you almost missed because you were trying to squeeze one more thing in.

If you’re realizing you’ve built a business that keeps eating those moments, the Business Cleanout is where we can look at why.

Hand me the pile →

If you're an ambitious entrepreneur who feels like you're always working toward the next revenue goal, launch, metric, or business milestone, you might recognize the strange feeling of having a successful business and still not really enjoying your life. You can be productive, driven, and good at what you do while quietly postponing all the little things that make a day feel good.

In this episode, Alyssa looks at the relationship between business success, productivity, ambition, and actually enjoying your life. We get into work-life balance, the pressure to keep achieving, and what happens when you stop making your happiness dependent on the next thing your business needs to accomplish.

Nope - you don't actually have to choose between the business you want and the life you want.

This woman sees problems EVERYWHERE.

Gaps. Things that could work better. Processes that could be cleaner. Ways to improve the whole darn thing.

And I don't think the answer is to get her to STOP doing that. 😂

I think we need to see what happens when she stops treating that part of herself like a problem.

Because there are people who naturally see what could be better…. And how else are the systems gonna get fixed??

If you're the person who immediately sees what's broken, what's inefficient, what could be improved, or what everyone else seems to have missed, you may have been told you're too critical or that you need to stop looking for problems. Especially if you're running a business, that instinct can be both incredibly useful and completely exhausting.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at problem-solving, business systems, process improvement, and the Human Design lens behind naturally spotting what's not working. We get into what happens when you stop treating your ability to see problems as something that needs fixing and start asking what that ability is actually good for.

She was trying to figure out why she kept wanting to do so many different things.

And underneath that was this constant little voice going: “But is this actually safe? Do we have enough time? Do we have enough support? What if...?”

So we had a very interesting conversation about the difference between a brain that's genuinely scattered… and a brain that's trying to make sure you've thought through all the angles before you move. 😂

Plus the whole “why are you trying to focus on one thing when you clearly want several??” conversation.

Come listen to this one →

If your brain constantly jumps between ideas, possibilities, projects, questions, and “wait, what about THIS?” you may have decided you have a focus problem. You might be trying to organize your thoughts, narrow your priorities, or force yourself to concentrate on one thing at a time.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at focus, overthinking, decision-making, and the experience of having a brain that wants to consider a lot of different possibilities. We get into the difference between being genuinely scattered and having a mind that's doing something very specific before you're ready to move.

Okay, this one was FUN.

Her chart said one thing - her actual behavior was telling me something else.

So I started asking questions.

Because if you've been told “this is your Human Design” and you're sitting there thinking… “Um. That doesn't sound anything like me….” 

I want you to hear this reading.

We got into the possibility that she's been operating from years of conditioning around how much she's “supposed” to produce.

If you've learned your Human Design type and thought, “Um... that doesn't sound anything like me,” you're definitely not the only one. Sometimes the way someone has learned to work, produce, achieve, and show up in business can look very different from what their Human Design suggests comes naturally.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at Human Design and conditioning, work style, productivity, and the gap between your chart and the way you've learned to operate. We get into what happens when the life you're actually living doesn't seem to match what you've been told your Human Design should look like.

She LOVES one side of her business - the coaching.

That's where her energy lights up.

Then there's the agency side…. And suddenly we're having a very different conversation.

So…. What if the answer isn't “you need more discipline”?

What if one part of the business needs to get smaller, get handed off, or stop taking up so much of your brain?

That's where this reading got really interesting.

If you feel burned out by your business even though there are parts of it you absolutely love, you may be wondering whether you've lost your passion or simply need to get better at managing the whole thing. But sometimes the problem isn't your business. It's one particular part of it that's taking way more energy than it gives back.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at business burnout, energy, delegation, and what happens when one part of a business no longer fits the person running it. We get into the possibility that you don't need to blow up the whole business or become more disciplined. You may need to look much more closely at which parts actually belong.

She told me she tends to have 4-8 projects going at once - but that meant a focus problem.

I was like… “Let's slow down here.” 😂

Because there was something really interesting happening underneath that.

We talked about why she keeps wanting different things on the go, what happens when she tries to force herself to narrow everything down, and how she could actually build a business that works with that.

This one is for the woman who has 17 tabs open and somehow thinks SHE’S the problem.

If you always seem to have multiple projects going at once, you may have wondered whether you're distracted, unfocused, or simply incapable of finishing one thing before starting another. Especially when every productivity expert seems to be telling you to narrow your focus, pick one priority, and ignore everything else.

In this Human Design coaching redo, Alyssa looks at focus, multiple projects, productivity, and the experience of being naturally pulled toward several things at once. We get into the difference between having too many projects and having a work style that genuinely wants more than one thing happening at a time.
