    How to Hear Your Authority at Work

    We’re diving into How to Hear Your Authority at Work — not in a quiet meditation space, not when everything is peaceful… but right inside the real-life chaos of deadlines, expectations, meetings, and constant decision-making. Because your inner compass doesn’t disappear when your day gets stressful.Your Authority doesn’t vanish because you’re overwhelmed.Your clarity is still there — underneath it all. You just have to learn how to pause… breathe… and feel for it. And I’m learning that too.In real time. So in this episode, I’m going to walk you through what I’ve been practicing, what’s been helping me, what I’ve gotten wrong, and what’s actually working — all through the lens of Human Design and lived experience.

    Ever wonder why you’re drawn to energy work, tarot cards, or meditation—but also constantly second-guess yourself? Turns out, it’s probably in your Human Design. In this episode, I’m sharing how my design literally explains why I’m obsessed with Reiki, why my intuition hits like lightning bolts (but I still doubt it), and why traditional routines just don’t work for me.

    "Why Do People Talking at Me Make Me Want to Scream?"

    It’s Stephanie, and today we’re talking about something I experience way too often—that feeling of being absolutely done when people won’t stop talking at me. You know the one… where you’re just standing there, nodding, trying to be polite, but inside, you’re screaming, ‘PLEASE, for the love of all things holy, STOP!’ And of course, because I can’t just leave it at that, we’re going to break it down through the lens of Human Design. Because surprise—there’s actually a reason why some of us get completely fried when other people are just throwing words at us like dodgeballs. And, as always, I’ll be using my own design as an example so you can see how this actually plays out in real life.” don't forget to follow my podcast and leave a review!
