    30. Why Avoiding Your Emotions or Identifying as "Not Emotional" is Keeping You Stuck

    If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your emotions — like they’re too much, or not welcome, or like they just… don’t come up the way you think they should — this episode is for you. In this honest and messy (in a good way) conversation, I unpack how our childhood can impact our relationship to our emotions. I share my own story, the beliefs I picked up about what it meant to be “easy,” the classic oldest daughter narratives I picked up, and how that shaped the way I relate to feelings now. You’ll hear: ✨ What emotional disconnection actually looks like (and how it hides in plain sight) 🧠 Why awareness isn’t enough — and how to actually rewire the deeper patterns 💬 The moment I realized being helped made me uncomfortable (and why that mattered) 😶‍🌫️ How perfectionism, emotional suppression, and “being the easy one” are all connected 💡 The surprising beliefs that sit beneath your resistance to feeling If you’ve ever felt numb, tense, overly responsible, or like feeling might make you a burden — you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. 🎧 Listen in — and start to reconnect with a part of you that’s been waiting to be heard. ✨ Ready to go deeper?

    26. The Hidden Programming That Runs 95% of Your Life

    The Subconscious Series – Part 1What if your outer reality is actually a mirror of your inner world? In this foundational episode, we’re exploring the subconscious — the hidden programming that quietly shapes how you think, feel, act, and experience life. You’ll learn how your subconscious forms between ages 0–7, why it runs about 95% of your life on autopilot, and what it really means when your conscious desires and subconscious beliefs don’t match (hint: the subconscious always wins). This conversation will help you see why “mindset work” isn’t enough — and how real transformation begins when you uncover and rewire the beliefs beneath the surface. In this episode, we’ll explore:✨ Why your reality reflects your subconscious beliefs 🧠 What’s actually happening in your mind from ages 0–7 🌙 How your Inner Child and Shadow hold keys to subconscious patterns 💫 Why awareness isn’t linear — it’s a spiral of deepening understanding 🪶 The difference between essence and conditioning 🔑 How your Human Design reveals what’s naturally you vs. what’s absorbed 🪞 Why your reality is feedback, not failure _ 💫 New to Human Design?

    25. 5 Signs You’re Resisting What’s Next

    Ever feel like you know what’s not working, but the thought of changing feels terrifying? Like you’re in the messy middle — stuck between the old way that’s no longer working and the new way that feels too vulnerable to trust? You’re not alone. ✨ In this episode, I’m diving into 5 sneaky signs of resistance that perfectionism often disguises: Rules → Clinging to formulas and “shoulds,” hoping they’ll guarantee results.Past Self → Beating yourself up for not doing it sooner, or fearing starting over.Forced Action → Hustling to control outcomes instead of trusting alignment.Judgment → Worrying what others will think if you pivot or slow down.Potential → Staying in overwhelm, indecision, or procrastination to avoid failure. I share real stories — from dieting rules that never worked, to the fear of asking for support, to clients stuck in confusion — to show you how these patterns show up again and again in both life and business. 💡 Here’s the reframe: these aren’t failures. They’re invitations. And when you shift them, you create space for ease, flow, and alignment to lead the way. Inside this episode, you’ll learn:Why resisting change is tied to perfectionism + self-protectionHow to spot the 5 most common ways resistance shows upSimple shifts to reframe fear into possibilityWhy you’re never “too late” — you’re always right on time Ready to do this work with support?These patterns don’t disappear after one aha moment. They keep showing up, especially in business where your livelihood and passion collide. That’s why I created the Energetic Business Collective (EBC) — a group program where we use Human Design as a map to navigate the messy middle together. Inside, you’ll learn how to: Spot and reframe perfectionism in real timeBuild a business that works with your energy (not against it)Feel safe doing things differently with a community that gets it Enrollment closes on Monday, September 22. A perfect turning point to step into your next chapter. _ 💫 New to Human Design?
