    #76: The Hidden Weight We Carry: Emotion Code, Belief Code & Energy Healing

    What if your body has been trying to tell you something?What if anxiety, tension, chronic stress, or even physical discomfort aren't just things to push through—but messages inviting you to slow down and listen? In this episode, I sit down with Jackie King, founder of Yana Healing and Balance, to explore the fascinating world of energy healing. Jackie shares how her journey began in traditional healthcare before a deeper curiosity led her into modalities like The Emotion Code®, Body Code™, Belief Code®, Reiki, sound healing, and more. Together, we explore how trapped emotions, limiting beliefs, and unprocessed experiences may continue influencing our lives long after we've forgotten the original event—and how gentle healing practices can help create more peace, clarity, and ease. Whether you're completely new to energy work or already exploring holistic wellness, this conversation offers an open-hearted invitation to become more curious about what your body might be trying to tell you. In this episode we discuss: Jackie's journey from occupational therapy into energy healingWhat The Emotion Code®, Body Code™, and Belief Code® actually areHow trapped emotions may impact our physical and emotional well-beingThe concept of a Heart Wall and how it can affect relationshipsWhy healing doesn't have to be forceful to be transformationalThe importance of slowing down and listening to your body's signalsPractical ways to begin supporting your own healing journey todayResources Mentioned ✨ Learn more about Jackie King and Yana Healing and Balance: https://www.yanabalance.com  Connect with Jackie: jackie@yanabalance.com 🎟️ Join Jackie's upcoming workshop: Elevate Your Frequency & Allow the Divine In https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1994514252821?aff=oddtdtcreator 📖 Book Mentioned: The Emotion Code by Dr. Bradley Nelson Special Gift for Inspired by Design listeners Jackie is offering podcast listeners: • Save $50 on a 5-session package • Save $100 on a 10-session package Choose from: The Emotion CodeThe Body CodeThe Belief CodeMention the podcast when you reach out to Jackie to receive your listener discount.

    #75 Bonus Episode: Step into the Role You were meant to play

    Have you ever wondered why life sometimes feels like you're working so much harder than everyone else? What if the problem isn't that you're doing too little... What if you're simply trying to live a role that was never yours to carry? In this special replay of my recent masterclass, we're exploring one of my favorite parts of Human Design—the Profile Lines. Your profile is made up of two numbers in your Human Design chart and reveals the unique role you're naturally designed to play in the world. When you understand and begin experimenting with your profile, you may notice: ✨ More ease in your decisions ✨ Greater confidence in who you are ✨ Less comparison and people-pleasing ✨ Better relationships ✨ More aligned marketing and business decisions ✨ A deeper feeling of being "at home" in yourself This episode isn't about putting yourself into another personality box.

    #70: Why So Serious? 🃏 Reconnecting with Joy Through Your Body with Amanda Marie

    What if you stopped trying to fix yourself and started reconnecting with your joy? In today's episode, Katie sits down with Amanda—a personal trainer, life coach, and spiritual embodiment mentor whose approach to fitness goes far beyond workouts, weight loss, and physical transformation. Amanda shares her personal journey through diet culture, bodybuilding, divorce, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, and ultimately discovering that the answers she was searching for weren't found in working harder—they were found in slowing down, listening to herself, and healing from the inside out. Together, Katie and Amanda explore: • Why so many health and fitness goals are rooted in deeper emotional needs • The hidden relationship between shame, self-judgment, and body image • How burnout can become an invitation into healing • What consistency actually means (and why it has nothing to do with perfection) • The connection between nervous system regulation and physical health • Why joy, play, and laughter are powerful healing tools • Amanda's transformative experience reconnecting with her inner child • What Human Design revealed about Amanda's Projector energy and business path • Why "wholeness" feels more aligned than "wellness" • How to stop trying to force change and start creating sustainable transformation This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt trapped in the cycle of trying harder, doing more, fixing themselves, or believing that happiness exists on the other side of changing their body. You are not broken. You don't need fixing. You may simply need to reconnect with yourself.

    #69 The Hidden Difference Between Scarcity and Abundance

    What if the biggest shift you could make isn't changing your circumstances... but changing what you're facing? In this episode of Inspired by Design, Katie shares an unexpected insight from a recent palm reading that sparked a powerful reminder about abundance, scarcity, trust, and the direction of our energy. Most of us spend so much time focused on what we're trying to avoid: • Running out of money • Making the wrong decision • Being judged • Failing • Not having enough But what if you're spending so much energy looking at what you don't want that you've lost sight of what you're actually trying to create? Katie explores the difference between moving away from fear and moving toward desire, how this shows up in business, health, relationships, and money, and how June's Human Design transits beautifully support this theme of trust, timing, and possibility. Questions to Consider: • Am I moving toward something I desire or away from something I fear? • What am I currently focused on creating? • Where am I giving too much attention to scarcity? • What would change if I turned toward possibility instead? Resources & Links Mentioned: • The Magic by Rhonda Byrne • June Human Design Transit Reflections Gate 35 wants a new experience. Gate 45 looks at leadership and resources. Gate 12 asks us to trust timing before speaking. Gate 15 reminds us to honor our natural rhythms. Gate 52 brings us into stillness. But underneath all of them is the same question: Can you trust yourself enough to move toward what you desire instead of reacting to what you fear? June 2-7: Gate 35 asks: Am I seeking change because I'm inspired, or because I'm uncomfortable? June 8-13: Gate 45 asks: Am I leading from trust or from scarcity? June 14-19:Gate 12 asks: Am I forcing expression or trusting timing? June 20-25:Gate 15 asks: Can I stop fighting my natural rhythm? June 26-July 1:Gate 52 asks: Can I trust that stillness is productive too? • Inspired by Design Facebook Community • Monthly Moon Workshops • Human Design Readings with Katie • Wellness Retreat at the Chakra Healing Room Connect with Katie: Share your thoughts, examples, and experiences inside the Inspired by Design community or send Katie a message on social media.
