We often look for external resources to help us manage our health, mindset, stress, and really, discover “who are.” But much of what we are in search of is already innate within us, just waiting to be discovered. Human Design is a system that can help us uncover these gifts that we already possess.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m joined by Leadership Coach and Human Design expert Erin Claire Jones for a conversation on how Human Design can be used as a tool in how we approach our work and health, and how we manage our productivity and mindset.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• The depth and layers of Human Design

• The impact Human Design can have on productivity, team building, communication, and success in the workplace

• 3 insights on how Human Design can support digestion

• What Human Design can tell us about how to approach workouts

Our mindsets can be a massive roadblock on our journey to achieving whatever it is we want to do in life. If we succumb to it, then we're more likely to become less healthy (physically and mentally), and less productive.

In this episode, I share with you some recent shifts that I’ve had related to my mindset, and how it impacted my productivity, stress, and combatting burnout.

If you’re someone who’s ambitious, driven, with so many things you want to do but you’re struggling with finding the time and energy to get it done, then this episode is for you!

Episode Highlights:

• Burnout is more than just being tired

• The different types of burnout

• How to see things from a different perspective and rewriting the stories we tell ourselves

• Where do our expectations come from?

• Learning about embodiment and the idea of our internal struggles

• Doing what works for you

We can’t avoid stress but we can change how we respond and react to it!

Without knowledge, guidance, and support you can make mistakes along the way or worse jeopardize your health.

In this solo episode, I want to share with you the 10 mistakes that I’ve made over the past few years especially when I learned that I had adrenal fatigue.

Recovery from adrenal fatigue is slow, challenging, and can be quite confusing, but I’m here to share the lessons I’ve learned from all those trials and errors.

I hope that by sharing this, you’ll be able to avoid those pitfalls and not make the same mistakes that I did.

Episode Highlights:

• Is it possible to heal and lose weight at the same time?

• Healing and training athletically, can it be done at the same level at the same time?

• Grain-free vs. gluten-free, know the difference

• Dietary protocol and relying on supplements

• Exercising your way out of a bad diet

• Don’t beat yourself up!

• REST! REST! REST!

• When to overtrack & not overtrack?

• Why nothing’s changing?

In this week’s episode, we:

• Explore the dangers of perfectionism when it comes to healthy living

• Examine how we came to form our perceptions on what perfect health

• Why ebbs and flows of health are to be expected and showing yourself grace through it…especially during a pandemic!

In this week’s episode, we examine realities vs perceptions when it comes to how we’re consistent with the basics of health and wellness.

Are your daily habits matching what you think they are, or what you want them to be?

You’ll hear me discuss:

• What the basics of health and wellness are

• Why it's important to do self-audits and assess how consistent you are with them

• How attending to these simple, but often overlooked practices can resolve health concerns

And you’ll hear me share my experiences and challenges with each of them.

After a mini-hiatus, I’m back with a new episode where you’ll hear me share my thoughts on:

• Learning about racism

• Exploring diversity in wellness

• Simplifying health

What do you do when you’ve tried all of the conventional and holistic strategies but yet your health issues haven’t completely been resolved? Sometimes deep inner work is required, especially if you’re struggling with Adrenal Fatigue and burnout. But if you’re someone who just can’t slow down, what’s the likelihood of you taking the time to explore this inner work?

Quarantine life has given me the time to do this inner work that quite frankly, I may have never done otherwise, and some of that inner work has been done with the help of my dear friend and returning guest, Sadie Adams. Sadie joined me in Episode 117 where we talked about nurturing natural beauty through calm presence & authentic self-expression.

In this episode, Sadie returns to the show sharing insights and wisdom on how to reclaim holistic wisdom. Sadie draws from her vast education, wisdom, and her many gifts to help people self-heal with:

• Repatterning

• Embodiment

• Integrating the body, mind, and spirit

Using modalities like breathwork, meditation, and movement, she helps people come back into their bodies to reclaim their presence, choices, and freedom.

You’ll hear how she’s helping me:

• Repattern and release a “need to / have to” mindset which in turn helps me with relaxation, tapping into my parasympathetic system to ultimately help me sleep better

• Relieve aches and pains in my body using breathwork and active movement 

• Address long unresolved pain from past running injuries that I’ve battled for over a decade

Her work is unlike anything I’ve experienced before, and if you’re someone who’s made the diet and lifestyle changes but your issues haven’t fully resolved, then I urge you to consider exploring the deep kind of interwork that Sadie offers to help you along your healing journey.

I believe that a significant part of being healthy is feeling at-ease, free of tension, and living in alignment with who are. Human Design is a powerful tool that can help us reconnect with our true selves.

Joining me to introduce the concept of Human Design is Victoria Jane.

Victoria is a Human Design Reader and Coach. Her mission is to guide growth-oriented folks to use Human Design to live vibrantly - with less hustle and more flow.

After a decade in Silicon Valley achieving everything she thought she was “supposed to” - a coveted career, great salary, and all the free snacks, she was forced to face the harsh reality that she was also exhausted, burnt out, and in danger of doing irreparable damage to her health.

As she searched for how to heal not just her body, but also her spirit, she discovered Human Design. Learning her unique design changed her life. It helped her reconnect back into living in alignment with her energy and intuition, giving her permission to let go of the “shoulds” and start living for herself.

In this episode you’ll hear us discuss:

• What is Human Design

• The 5 Energy Types of Human Design

• How Human Design can enhance your work, relationships, and virtually every aspect of your life

I also share how learning about my Human Design profile as a Projector has shifted my mindset and how I show up in the world.

If you’ve suddenly found yourself working from home and it’s been a tougher transition than expected, this episode is for you.

Returning to the show is my friend, colleague, and former manager, Terri Quinn. Terri last joined me in Episode 121: Understanding Your Priorities & Establishing Boundaries in the Workplace, which was recorded weeks before we were quarantined.

In this episode, we expand on our conversation of priorities and boundaries. Drawing on her past 15 years of experience, Terri shares her best practices for being a remote worker, as well as being a remote people manager.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• How to maintain balance when working with teams across global time zones

• The importance of over communication for virtual teams

• How to establish teamwork and unity when managing virtual teams

• The impact that a manager has on a direct report’s health and well-being

• And so much more
