We interview Mitch Bohn, a 27-year-old college student and podcast host from Montana, who is an inspiring example of someone who doesn’t use his physical limitations as an excuse. Instead he focuses on his dreams and goals and brings a positive light to those who know him as he shares his story with others. In this episode, Mitch emphasizes the need to break down stigmas and how to support individuals with disabilities.

June 29, 2023 19. Trusting Your Inner Authority with Allison Cullen
Special Guest Episode
Allison Cullen is a business coach, musician, and human design enthusiast. With a background in business, Allison made a transition to the music industry before finding her true passion in coaching. She is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs align with their unique purpose using human design and her business expertise.
Allison Cullen hosts the You Do Woo Podcast. She’s also a mom and a wife.
She’s a Texas gal through and through and ya’ll will appreciate her plural pronouns when she addresses our listeners.
Her tale of transition provides us with a glimpse of what it looks like behind-the-scenes of a career transition when the unexpected forces us to change gears. The economic crash of 2008, the pandemic, and becoming a mother all caused disruptions in her life that led to rerouting her path.
Allison shares her ups and downs as she navigated her journey through post partum anxiety, discovering her human design, transitioning to be the breadwinner of her family, and her dependency on alcohol to navigate the uncertainty of the Covid pandemic. Her down-to-earth, genuine spirit shines through in this episode as she speaks openly about the messiness of her awakening.
As she discovered her human design, she started to see how she was numbing herself, how she was codependent, and how she was dissociated from her body. Human design brought her back to her body, her emotions, and showed her all the aspects where she needed to decondition from what she’d absorbed over her lifetime.
We discuss collaboration vs. competition and the importance of working together. Human design is becoming more and more prevalent in mainstream culture and so more and more readers are coming online to help people understand their bodygraphs.
This is a real and raw episode showcasing one woman’s non-linear journey and how she used her human design to thrive during transitional times.

Notable Quotes:
“I've been on Prozac, I've tried different hormonal treatments, I've tried yoga and running and all those things can be great and be helpful too. But this [human design] is the one thing that I think really has helped me calm my nervous system and be in my body. And I'm not perfect either, but it's made that much of a difference.” -A.C
