100. How I Used My Human Design to Create an Aligned Life & Business

podcast May 27, 2025

You guys, we made it to 100 episodes!

Honestly, I’m still a little shocked. I remember when this podcast was just a “maybe someday” dream scribbled in my journal. And now, here we are. Hitting publish on episode 100 feels surreal and so satisfying all at once.

 

In this special solo episode, I’m sharing the real story behind how I got here, not just the milestones, but the messy middle too. Spoiler alert: it involves a lot of frustration, a few bold decisions, and a major alignment with my Human Design.

When the Life You're Living Doesn't Match the One You're Meant For

A few years ago, I was checking all the boxes on paper… but inside, I felt stuck. I was frustrated, maxed out, and quietly hiding a business idea that wouldn’t leave me alone. I didn’t know exactly what was wrong, but I knew something wasn’t right.

That’s when I started digging into my Human Design as a 5/2 Generator with sacral authority, and things started to click.

The Power of the Not-Self Theme

One of the biggest lightbulb moments for me? Understanding my not-self theme: frustration. That gut-level signal showed me exactly where I was out of alignment. From my local commitments to where I lived, I started seeing all the pieces that weren’t supporting the life I truly wanted.

Following the Nudges (Even When They're Scary)

In this episode, I share how I followed one sacral nudge that led me to a live event 200 miles away, an event that cracked open the next chapter of my business. It was there that I finally spoke the idea I had been hiding: the Spiritual Business Incubator. That weekend changed everything.

Alignment Over Hustle

As I leaned into my design, things started to shift. I stopped pushing and started responding. I built a business that actually lights me up. We even made the bold decision to move to a new city that better supports our family and our vision.

Whether you’re just starting to explore your design or you’re ready to take the leap into your next aligned move, this episode is for you. It’s not about having it all figured out, it’s about having the courage to follow what lights you up.
