For the past four years, this show has explored all the ways that we experience stress, fatigue, and burnout, focusing on addressing it through Functional Nutrition and what we put on our plates, gut health, environmental inputs, and lifestyle factors.

Over the past couple of months, through solo shows and guest interviews, I’ve primed you with the notions that peeling back the layers, and taking a functional approach into why these things happen, goes beyond what's on our plates and into what’s also going on with our minds, thoughts, emotions in addition to our physical bodies.

Human Design has been the system that’s helped me become aware of how these things are tied together and how to address them in a bio-individual way that’s unique to me.

So in this episode, we’re diving more deeply into Human Design. You’ll hear me share:

• What exactly Human Design is and its origin story

• What are the benefits of Human Design

• Two examples of how it links to specific health conditions I’ve had - thyroid and adrenal dysfunction

Human Design embraces your uniqueness, showing why general, blanket statement advice may not work for you. It's not that there’s anything wrong with you, rather, there’s a more effective way that comes more naturally to you, which begs the question, “How well do we know ourselves? What parts of us are inherent to us? What parts have we been conditioned to be?”

The onus is on each of us to observe, explore, and uncover the answers to those questions, and what emerges is a deep sense of self-awareness that develops into an intimate knowledge of who you really are, and what you need to thrive - not just what you might have been conditioned to believe.

In the solo episode, I explore the intersection between bio-individuality, the idea that no one diet works for everyone, and Human Design, a framework that sheds like on our subtle, innate gifts.

You’ll hear me share:

• What is bio-individuality?

• What is Human Design?

• The intersection of where they meet

• How, collaboratively, they can help us step into our highest potential

When undertaking any new project or endeavor, whether personal or business-related, it’s always important to have a plan or strategy in place. However, while strategies can be executed, there’s always non-tangible things that hold us back from fully realizing what’s possible & those things are often limiting beliefs that lie in our subconscious.

Joining me in this episode is Nadia Gabrielle, a guide and mentor for business owners and non-business owners.

Merging her business background in Brand Building, Design Thinking & Service Design with her 12+ years of experience working in the creative, wellness & self-development space, Nadia uses conscious strategic tools and subconscious capacity building, to help her clients set themselves up for success in their lives and businesses by providing support at the points where strategy and capacity meet.

I recently had the opportunity to take Nadia’s fantastic Service Design School to help me apply Design Thinking principles to structure my coaching services. What I didn’t expect and I’m utterly grateful for was learning about subconscious capacity building and exploring what areas of my subconscious can be expanded.

In this episode you’ll hear Nadia share:

• What is strategy and capacity and what are the things that hold us back

• What is subconscious capacity building and how do we do this?

• How she uses Human Design and Astrology in her client work

• What is Design Thinking and Service Design School

• Client transformations she’s witnesses

I recently put a call out to my Instagram community for requests on topics for future episodes. One topic that came up was how to make wellness more inclusive.

It’s a vast topic given the variety of things that fall into the wellness space. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I do believe that we can find empowerment when we become leaders in our own health care.

In this solo episode, I share why I take an integrative approach to wellness, marrying science with holistic practices, and how I found empowerment through education, taking a leadership role in my health.

Have you followed fashion “rules” that you learned from reading teen and fashion magazines? Or struggled over the years knowing how to dress when your body changed to varying sizes?

I’ve experienced this too, spending years searching for help but never really finding anything that “fit” until I found Jenny Wirt of Sartorevi.

Jenny is a potent energy healer whose background includes experience as a fashion stylist and creative director, alongside her Master of Physical Therapy degree and Craniosacral Therapy training.

Independently, Jenny has also studied chakra balancing, inner child healing, and manifestation work.

Additionally, Jenny trained as an assistant fashion stylist in New York, Amsterdam, and Los Angeles, where she honed her visual prowess, working on advertising and editorial shoots for brands and publications like ELLE, Glamour, Bloomingdale’s and Bergdorf Goodman.

Jenny has creatively merged her diverse skills and talents into her wellness-based personal styling offerings under the brand “Sartorevi”, which stands for “sartorial revival.”

Driven by the conviction that every woman deserves to feel radiant, magnetic, and powerful within her body, she believes in empowering women through fashion selections to facilitate healing from the inside out and the outside in her wardrobe as wellness sessions.

Episode Highlights:

• Exploring Jenny’s work in physical therapy, cranial-sacral therapy, energy work, and fashion

• How Sartorevi came to be

• The role our wardrobe can play in our wellness

• The impact colors and their relationship to the chakra centers
