    If you’ve felt pressure to “get it together,” overhaul your life, or make 2026 your best year ever… this conversation is your permission slip to slow down. In this episode of Inspired by Design, Katie sits down with Jaimee Dixon, intuitive and founder of Intuitive Wisdom Apothecary, for a deeply grounding conversation about intuition, feminine energy, rest, and moving into the new year with flow instead of force.

Together, they explore: Why winter isn’t the season for pushing or hustlingWhat it really means to “protect the feminine” (and why it doesn’t look the same for everyone)The energetic shift from the Year of the Snake into the Fire HorseLetting go of attachments, timelines, and internal pressureHow intuition speaks quietly — and why silence mattersThe power of ritual, community, and slowing down on purposeJamie also shares details about her Spring Tea Party Experience and offers a collective tarot message to close the episode — a reminder that you’re not behind, and your path is already unfolding.

    #50: What If Change Could Be Easy? Breaking the All-or-Nothing Trap with The Hypnotic Yogi

    What if starting fresh didn’t require pressure, perfection, or pushing harder? In this episode, Katie is joined by Matt Dickson, certified hypnotherapist, 500-hour yoga teacher, and known as The Hypnotic Yogi, for a grounded, non-traditional conversation about change, habit-breaking, and nervous system support — without the all-or-nothing mindset. Matt shares why most New Year’s resolutions fail, how willpower alone drains our energy, and why true change often happens when we stop forcing it. Together, they explore stability and ease (sirisukham), subconscious reprogramming, and simple tools you can use in real life — not just on a yoga mat or meditation cushion. You’ll hear about: Why January 1st is a social construct (and how to choose a better start date)How all-or-nothing thinking sabotages consistencyWhy habits live in the subconscious — not logicHow hypnosis works (and what it actually feels like)The connection between flow state, hypnosis, and presenceSimple nervous system tools like breathing and hummingWhy experimentation works better than perfectionMatt’s Subconscious Sanctuary: a fusion of Yin Yoga + HypnosisThis episode is an invitation to try something different this year — not by doing more, but by listening more closely to your body, energy, and inner cues.

    #49: Why January Isn’t the Time to Fix Your Life (And What to Do Instead)

    The pressure to “fix your whole life” in January is real — and exhausting. In this first episode of 2026, Katie offers a refreshing alternative to traditional goal setting that honors your energy, your nervous system, and the season of life you’re actually in. Instead of resolutions, hustle, or rigid SMART goals, she shares a simple, practical ritual she’s used consistently for over a year: checking in with herself at the New Moon and Full Moon. Inspired by faith-based rhythms, seasonal living, astrology, and Human Design, this practice isn’t about doing more — it’s about tuning in. Twice a month, you pause. You reflect. You release what’s no longer serving you and gently plant seeds for what you want to grow next. No moon knowledge required. No belief system required. Just honesty, simplicity, and permission to make small changes without blowing up your life. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why January goal-setting often backfiresHow the New Moon supports planting intentions (without pressure)How the Full Moon helps you release what’s draining you — without shameA powerful rope metaphor for letting goSimple journal prompts you can use in 5–15 minutesHow to personalize this ritual using Human Design or astrology (optional)Katie’s Word of the Year for 2026 — and how she received itMentioned & Linked: Serenity Now Float Spa (float therapy experience)Inspired by Design Facebook CommunityTry This: Mark the next New Moon and Full Moon on your calendar and spend a few quiet minutes checking in with yourself.

    #48: Before the Next Chapter: Making Peace with the Messy Middle & Trusting Your Becoming (with Adrienne Swanson)

    As 2025 comes to a close and the next chapter begins, this episode is an invitation to pause—right in the middle of the becoming. In this honest, grounded conversation, Katie sits down with fellow coach Adrienne Swanson to explore what it really looks like to navigate seasons of change that don’t feel clear, clean, or comfortable. From business evolution to motherhood, identity shifts, and those in-between moments where certainty is nowhere to be found, this is a conversation for anyone who has wondered: “Am I lost… or am I just in transition?” Together, two coaches reflect on: Making peace with the messy middle instead of rushing through itWhy uncertainty doesn’t mean you’re off trackTrusting yourself when the old chapter no longer fits, but the new one hasn’t fully arrivedNavigating transitions in business, motherhood, and personal identityHow core values quietly guide us—even when things feel messyLetting this season shape you, rather than judging itThis episode feels like the kind of conversation you might pay good money to sit in on—but instead, it’s offered as a gift. A moment of reflection. A deep exhale. A gentle guide as you close out 2025 and step toward 2026 with more trust, compassion, and clarity. If you’re standing at the edge of a new chapter—without a clear map—this conversation will remind you:  You’re not behind. You’re becoming. ✨ Perfect to listen to as you reflect on the year behind you and reconnect with what truly matters moving forward. messy middle, life transitions, trusting yourself, end of year reflection, next chapter, becoming, women in transition, coaching conversation, business and motherhood, personal growth podcast Katie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.
