- 31 minutes 32 seconds#551 The Weekly Wrap: Your HD Strategy Changes Everything
In today's episode I am talking about your strategy, and why it is one of the most important pieces of your Human Design for coming into alignment.
Your strategy comes from your type, and it is not the endless memes about what your type supposedly says about you. It is a practical tool. When you live in alignment with your strategy and your authority, you decondition, things become more effortless, and you start moving in flow instead of force. I walk through the strategy for each type: initiating and informing for manifestors, responding for generators and manifesting generators, waiting for the invitation for projectors, and gathering data over time for reflectors. I also get into the distinction between how a generator and a manifesting generator work with response, and why informing matters so much when you have a motor connected to your throat.
This is your Monday Weekly Wrap, so I also share what I am loving right now, the money, AI and Human Design mastermind that is lighting me up, what I am learning about lucid dreaming, and what is going on behind the scenes in the business this week.

6 July 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 6 minutes#550 July 2026 Energy Update: You Can't Put It Back in the Box
In today's episode I am joined by Yvette Mayer, our HD Transits Expert, and Lauren Hansen, our Resident Astrologer, for the July energy update.
July lands in two halves. The first is slower and more internal. We are carrying the shadow of Mercury retrograde and sitting in Gate 62, so expect pressure, a pull towards the fine details, and your body asking you to slow down, with a fast, fiery undercurrent from Mars conjunct Uranus running alongside it.
The second half fires back up into throat centre gates and communication energy, with Mercury going direct on the 23rd. Running underneath all of it is Jupiter moving into Leo opposite Pluto. Buried desires and old shadows are surfacing whether you want them to or not, and you cannot put it back in the box. We get into what that opposition is asking of you, the Aquarius full moon on the 29th, and how to meet the parts of yourself that come up.
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_coachBig love,

2 July 2026, 12:00 am - 40 minutes 58 seconds#549 The Weekly Wrap: Growth Through Joy, Not Shadow Work
In today's Weekly Wrap I'm talking about growing through joy instead of shadow work.
There is a place for shadow work, inner child work and inner parenting, and I'm not throwing any of it out. But I've had a hunch for about 18 months that landed properly this week, when someone told me they now choose their growth from joy rather than from the work. I sat with it, because it named something I'd drifted away from. For a few years I was growing through play and through what lit me up, and lately I'd slipped back into hunting for the block, the broken bit, the thing to fix. This is me coming back to joy as the way forward.
From a human design view, growing through joy is simply alignment to your design. It's following your strategy and authority, your obsession, your creative urge, the thing that feels good. I bring this into business too, because whatever you keep your focus on is what you create more of, so the better question is not what's wrong, it's how can I have more fun here. I also bring back a short human design segment on type, share what I've loved this week, and give you the certainty mantra that shifted my energy on the spot.

This is The Visionary Breakthrough Sessions, a live, intimate coaching experience with members of my private HDx Collective. In each session, we decode the energetic patterns holding them back and unlock the identity shift required to lead, scale, and succeed in alignment with their Human Design. These sessions are by application only and exclusively available inside the HDx Collective.

In today's episode, I coach Margarita, who is doing work she loves and believes in, yet keeps feeling alone in her business and worn down by a year that promised ease and delivered hit after hit. She is done fighting, and what she wants now is to protect her peace.
Margarita is a 1/3 Manifesting Generator.
We unpack why feeling alone in business is so common right now and what is actually closing out as the old paradigm falls away, what her design says about whether she is built to go it alone or to lead best in partnership, and why going back into corporate on her own terms could be a stepping stone rather than a step back. We get into why pressure is the fastest way to push a visionary away from the work she loves, how to build certainty when everything feels up in the air, and why peace is not a nice-to-have for her but an actual signal of alignment.
If you have ever felt like this year keeps asking you to armour up when all you want is to soften, this one is for you.

25 June 2026, 4:00 am - 40 minutes 10 seconds#547 The Weekly Wrap: We Manifest Who We Are, Not What We Do
In today's Weekly Wrap I'm taking you through what's been alive for me this week, and it starts with a line that stopped me in my tracks: we manifest who we are, not what we do.
That one came from Colette Baron-Reid teaching her art of manifesting inside HDx. Whatever we practise feeling, we become. So if I keep telling the stories of the challenge, that's the frequency I'm broadcasting. The work is choosing to practise the feeling of all the good that's already here.
From there I get into a few things I've been sitting with. Expanding your capacity to receive in the small, everyday spends, not just the ones with a productive purpose. Trusting your knowing as a muscle you build through consistency. The quiet power of softening into the present moment instead of always being the strong, independent one who holds it all. I also share what I'm relearning from The Big Leap on upper limits, my honest thoughts on AI after a Mo Gawdat conversation on the Diary of the CEO, and a big lesson on never giving your power away to a modality, even one you love.

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.

18 June 2026, 12:00 am - 45 minutes 2 seconds#545 The Weekly Wrap: Are You Bringing Reasons or Results? The Question That Changes Everything
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.

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.

9 June 2026, 2:00 am - 1 hour 5 minutes#542 Lindsey Simcik on The Almost 30 Podcast, Trusting the Zigzag & Why Your Life Is Always Guiding You
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.

4 June 2026, 6:00 am - 52 minutes 52 seconds#541 The Weekly Wrap: You're Allowed to Be in the Thick of It
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.
