119. Health First Leadership with 2/4 Generator Cally Cripps
Jul 31, 2025
In a world that glorifies hustle, what if your health was your greatest leadership asset?
In this week’s episode of the Design and Align Your Business Podcast, Anna is joined by her long-time best friend and inspiring wellness leader, Cally Cripps. Cally is a 2/4 Generator and a true example of health-first leadership, balancing a high-stakes corporate role while growing her own wellness business with grounded joy, purpose, and sustainability.
This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, executives, and anyone who feels like they’re constantly juggling work, health, and life, while wondering if there’s a better way.
Why Health is Your Most Valuable Business Asset
Cally shares a moment many of us can relate to: working 54 days in a row, taking a nap in her car, and realizing, “this isn’t it.”
Through lived experience and her own health journey, she redefined success, not by doing more, but by leading with health first. Whether she’s navigating executive leadership in a nonprofit or hosting a breathwork workshop, Cally centers vitality, community, and alignment over burnout.
Her philosophy?
“You can juggle many balls, but your health is the crystal ball. Once it shatters, nothing else matters.”
Human Design and Permission to Lead Differently
As a 2/4 Generator with a Mountains environment and the Channel of Community, Cally’s Human Design has helped her lean into her natural leadership style. Instead of networking the “traditional” way, she embraces deep, one-on-one connections, building community on her terms.
This episode highlights how Human Design can be a game-changer for leaders who want to work smarter, not harder. When you know your energetic blueprint, you stop forcing strategies that don’t fit, and start thriving in the ones that do.
Creating Space to Hear Yourself
One of Cally’s biggest takeaways?
Silence is strategy.
When we don’t create space to process, reflect, and connect with ourselves, we miss the clarity we’re craving. Whether it’s a walk without a podcast, or a few moments of stillness each day, space is where our best ideas are born.
Ready to Redefine Leadership?
This episode is a full-body reminder that your life isn’t separate from your business. Leading from health, alignment, and joy isn’t just possible, it’s sustainable, magnetic, and deeply powerful.
Listen to the full episode now and explore how Human Design, breathwork, and honoring your energy can completely transform the way you lead.
