Naomi Nakamura: Functional Wellness & Human Design Coach
The Live FAB Life Podcast is a show that examines all the ways that stress shows up in our lives and explores how to deal with it using Functional Wellness and Human Design so that we can optimize our health, find balance, upgrade our energy, and fall into a life of freedom, good health, and empowerment.
With 20+ years in the tech industry, I’ve seen it all; the crazy hours, super demanding lifestyles, and constant drive that pushes women into burnout and chronic illness.
Take a few minutes to practice some self-care by tuning in to this week’s episode with Naomi Nakamura, a Functional Wellness and Human Design Coach based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The new year is treated like a reset button — as if your body, energy, and history are supposed to magically start over overnight.
But your energy doesn't reset on January 1.
In this episode, I talk about why there is no "right" way to begin, why every phase of your wellness journey counts, and why pressure to do things perfectly often disconnects you from yourself.
We'll talk about New Year's goals and fresh starts — without shaming any of them — and then zoom out to the real skill that actually changes everything: learning how to make the right decision for you, at the right time, in a way your body can support.
If January brings pressure, guilt, or the sense that you're already behind, this episode is here to take that weight off.

This year, I didn't hustle. I returned.
I returned to how my energy actually works. I returned to how my mind processes. I returned to timing instead of pressure. And I returned to showing up in ways that don't cost me my health.
In this episode, I share what I finally had to face: I was still running operating in a Generator way — weekly output, constant visibility, and treating consistency as proof of worth.
I break down my Human Design — my Incarnation Cross, active gates, and my only channel — and explain why that approach doesn't work for me. My role isn't endless production. It's discernment, synthesis, and speaking at the right moment.
I also share what this means for the podcast and how I'll be showing up moving forward.
If you've been forcing yourself into structures that drain you and wondering why it feels so hard, this episode will help you understand what patterns to notice.

In this episode, we're talking about inconsistency and why certain routines never stick, why "discipline" isn't the issue, and how your Human Design shows the natural rhythms your body prefers.
If you've ever tried to force yourself into someone else's routine, wondered why it only worked for a week, then berated yourself for "not sticking with it", this episode will help you understand why — and what to build instead.

We're taught to make decisions from our mind — research, logic, pros vs cons lists — and then wonder why everything feels harder than it should.
But the truth is: your body gives you information long before your mind starts analyzing anything.
In this episode, we're breaking down the early signals your body sends — the physical cues, energetic shifts, and subtle patterns – the ones that are usually overlooked — and how Human Design gives language and structure to those early signals so you can stop pushing through them, stop misreading them, and stop treating them like flaws.
You'll learn how your body responds before your thoughts do, why you're so used to overriding those responses, and how noticing them can make decisions easier and reduce stress.
If you've ever pushed past your limits, said yes when you knew you shouldn't, or talked yourself out of what you felt immediately — this episode will help you understand why.

In this birthday episode, we get personal and talk about the parts of ourselves we've been taught to tone down, cover up, or feel ashamed of — the quirks, patterns, and preferences we thought made us "too much," "too sensitive," or just… weird.
And how Human Design gives us a language — and a framework — to see these parts not as flaws, but as guidance.
We discuss:
- Why your quirks aren't accidents — they're insights
- How I reframed what I used to feel self-conscious about through my Human Design
- Real-life examples from my chart (and maybe yours, too!)

You know how the saying goes, "trust your intuition"? It sounds great — until you're staring at your meal plan, second-guessing your symptoms, and wondering why you still don't feel like yourself.
This episode is about self-leadership — and how Human Design gives you a practical path back to trusting your judgment, body, and energy again.
We'll unpack what self-leadership really means, the subtle ways we learn to override it (even with "good" advice), and how each of the seven Human Design Authorities offers a tangible, practical approach to building that trust again — one decision at a time.
This isn't about ignoring input or never asking for support. It's about becoming the kind of person who knows how to hear themselves — and lead themselves — even in the noise.
In this episode:
- What self-leadership is (and isn't)
- Why wellness culture often disconnects us from our inner compass
- Seven ways Human Design helps you stop outsourcing your decisions
- The difference between following intuition vs. understanding your Authority

In this episode, we unpack the gap between what your lab tests say and what your body feels — and why both are valid.
As someone who deeply values functional lab data, I'm not here to dismiss it. In fact, I still regularly test through my own care team. But lab work is just one piece of the puzzle. Functional data is powerful — but it's a snapshot, not a full story.
What happens between tests? What happens when symptoms don't align with results?
It isn't about replacing one system with another — it's a yes, and. It offers context. Insight. A filter.
We explore how your energy, rhythms, and lived experience can help you contextualize the data, not override it. So you can use data without gaslighting your own experience — and start making decisions that reflect how you actually feel in your body.

If you've tracked everything — your food, your steps, your sleep — and still feel more overwhelmed than aligned, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I'm unpacking the difference between tracking for clarity vs. control — and how Human Design helps you know what's worth tracking for you.
We'll talk about:
- The patterns tracking helps you see — and when it becomes self-surveillance
- Why Human Design is the lens that makes data useful (not just noisy)
- How to make tracking feel supportive, not obsessive

Before you can build a rhythm that fits, you need to understand the energy that's driving it.
In this episode, I'm breaking down what energy mapping through Human Design is, why it matters, and how it helps you create wellness rhythms that actually work for you — not just on paper, but in real life.
If you've ever felt like your energy was inconsistent, unpredictable, or just hard to work with… this one's for you.

You've counted. You've journaled. You've tested and "done the work."
So why do your patterns still feel… confusing? Why does self-awareness still leave you stuck in the same loops?
In this episode, I'm talking about how Human Design helps reveal the patterns you've been living in — the ones that never made sense until you saw them through this lens.
We'll unpack:
- Why your patterns aren't problems — they're invitations
- What changes when you track through energy, not just effort
- How Human Design gives language to the cycles you've been trying to name
This isn't about fixing yourself — it's about understanding how you actually work, so you can move forward with clarity, not confusion.

In this episode, I discuss what it really means to find rhythm in your wellness — not through more rules, protocols, or plans, but through your Human Design.
Because if you've been doing "all the right things" and still feel off… it's not a "you" problem. It's a mismatch.
We'll unpack:
- Why popular wellness rhythms don't stick
- What finding your own rhythm actually looks and feels like
- How Human Design gives you the blueprint to rebuild trust with your body, your energy, and your timing

What happens when a former school teacher swaps lesson plans for sheet pans — and merges these two areas of expertise together? You get Chef Laura Scheck of Teaching Table — a culinary educator with a knack for demystifying scratch cooking using fresh, seasonal ingredients.
As someone who’s deeply into health and wellness but couldn’t cook to save my life… let me tell you, this convo is personal. I took my first class with Chef Laura last fall, and when I pulled a golden loaf bread out of my oven, I thought: Wait. I made this? Since then, I’ve taken five (okay, maybe six) of her classes — from mocktails to gluten-free galettes — and my kitchen confidence has never been higher.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- How Chef Laura went from the classroom to the kitchen (and blended the two)
- The power of modifying instead of stressing
- Her 3 go-to meals for when you’re short on time
- Why cooking confidence isn’t about perfection – it’s about play
- The 3 kitchen tools she can’t live without
This one’s light on Human Design, but packed with heart, humor, and those quiet “oh wow, I can do this” moments we all need more of. If you’ve ever felt intimidated by the kitchen, this episode is for you.

So many women secretly carry the shame of feeling "lazy."
This episode breaks down how Human Design helps reframe what laziness really is (hint: it’s not what you think).
We explore:
- How we came to form our beliefs around laziness, productivity, work ethic
- What's really at the root of these beliefs
- What it looks like through the lens of Human Design
- And how to find sustainable energy that has nothing to do with pushing harder

This episode kicks off a series of foundational conversations — the kind that remind you: it’s not you. It’s the systems you were handed.
We’re unpacking what happens when you try to follow all the “right” wellness rules and still feel exhausted, bloated, or like something’s off — and why Human Design offers a new way to listen, decode, rebuild, and reclaim.
This is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself — and start working with your body, not against it.

What happens when you stop bracing at your own reflection—and start seeing yourself clearly for the first time?
In this solo, deeply personal follow-up to Episode 316, I share what actually happened when I joined The Self-Portrait Challenge with visibility mentor Lisa Haukom — and what it cracked open for me.
What began as an experiment in iPhone photography quickly became a process of unpacking why I’ve spent most of my life flinching at photos of myself to softening old stories, letting go of performance, and reclaiming how I see myself now.
You’ll hear me share:
- The quiet grief of no longer recognizing your body
- The power of documenting (not performing)
- How representation—especially as an Asian women—isn’t just about visibility, but self-trust
- Why learning to love photos of yourself isn’t about vanity—it’s about recognition
Whether you're in your thirties, forties, fifties or beyond, if you’ve ever felt invisible in your own life or body, this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever avoided being in photos…
If you’ve ever hated how you looked in one (or all) of them…
If you’ve ever wished you could just feel good being seen — this episode is for you.
In this episode, I’m joined by the woman currently teaching me how to actually see myself in photos — not with filters, angles, or forced confidence, but with presence.
Lisa Haukom is a visibility expert, creative director, and the founder of The Photo Club Method. She helps women shift the way they see themselves — in photos, yes, but also in life. Because hiding from the camera? Usually means we’re hiding from ourselves, too.
We talk about:
- Why we flinch when we see ourselves on camera
- What it really means to reclaim your image (without changing your body)
- How learning to take self-portraits (not selfies) is actually a tool for self-trust
- And what happens when we stop disappearing from our own lives
This conversation cracked something open in me — and I think it might for you too.
Because you don’t need to change anything.
You just need to see what’s already there.

You know what to do. You’ve tried to do it. But for some reason, it just never sticks—and you’re left wondering if you just lack willpower.
This episode is your reminder that you’re not flaky, uncommitted, or “bad at routines.” You’re just making decisions from the wrong place.
We’re unpacking the real root of burnout and inconsistency: decision fatigue, external pressure, and ignoring your inner guidance. If you’ve ever said “I know what to do, I just don’t do it,” this one’s for you.

You’ve followed the "food rules." Bought allllll the supplements. Checked every “should” box. And yet... you’re still exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning yourself.
This episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself—and start noticing where your wellness plan is just out of alignment.
We’re breaking down:
- How to recognize when you’re forcing vs. flowing
- What Human Design can reveal about it
- Why the “problem” isn’t you—it’s the performance-based wellness culture we’ve all been conditioned by

If you’ve ever wondered why the “just wake up at 5am and grind” routine doesn’t work for you, this episode is your permission slip to stop forcing it—and start understanding how your energy actually works.
You’re not broken. You’re just trying to follow wellness advice that wasn’t designed for your energy.
In this episode, I’m calling BS on the performative self-care trends and hustle wellness that leave you burned out and blaming yourself and pulling back the curtain on why your go-to wellness practices might be doing more harm than good—and how Human Design gives you the blueprint to stop forcing, start flowing, and finally feel better in your body.

In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest and personal style powerhouse, Alisa Koz — an expert in fashion psychology, sustainable style, Astrology, and Human Design.
Back in Episode 275, Alisa cracked open my natal chart and started connecting the dots between my energy, my aesthetic, and my style misfires. You know the ones —
→ Outfits that looked amazing on Pinterest but flopped IRL
→ Clothing boxes that missed the mark by a mile
→ Makeup that matched my mom’s taste, not mine
→ And style quizzes that left me feeling more boxed in than inspired
Since that first conversation, I’ve been deep in Alisa’s world — and for the past three months, I’ve had the privilege of being a beta student in her brand new program, Personal Style Mastery.
In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on:
- The birth of Personal Style Mastery and how Alisa blended her expertise into a one-of-a-kind framework
- My experience inside the program (yes, I had aha moments around fruit metaphors and auric alignment)
- What we’ve both learned through this process — and why this isn’t just about looking good, but feeling deeply aligned in your skin and your clothes
- How to join the waitlist for the first official round of the program
If you’ve ever felt like your closet doesn’t reflect who you really are — or that style advice never seems to “click” for you — this conversation is your permission slip to explore fashion in a way that’s personal, powerful, and fully aligned with your values.

Let’s talk about what no one else is saying.
This episode is for the Projectors out there trying to live by their design while also… you know, navigating real life. The 9–5 job. The to-do list. The relationships. The “I just want to feel good in my body” moments.
In Part 2 of our Projector Q&A series, I’m back with my favorite thought partner, Nadia Gabrielle, and we’re going even deeper.
No filters. No fluff. Just two Projectors telling the truth.
We unpack:
- What being a Projector in a 9–5 actually requires (spoiler: it’s not pretending to be a Generator)
- Deconditioning in real time—what it looks like when it’s messy and unsexy
- Planning your week as a Projector (yes, you can still get sh*t done)
- Navigating relationships without losing yourself or your energy
- Supporting your health + nervous system in a world that wasn’t built for your rhythm
It’s part guidance, part myth-busting, and part “you’re not broken—you’re just deconditioning in a Generator world.”
If you’ve been trying to do it all “right” but still feel off…
This one’s gonna land.

If you've ever struggled with having a clear sense of who you are, struggled with direction, or found yourself changing based on who you’re around—this episode is for you.
The Undefined G-Center is often misunderstood. Instead of being a flaw, it’s actually a gift: the ability to flow, evolve, and take in life’s experiences from different angles. But when conditioning creeps in, it can make you feel ungrounded, lost, or like you need to force an identity.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- What it really means to have an Undefined or Open G-Center
- The beauty (and challenges) of adaptable identities
- How conditioning around “having a clear direction” impacts those with an Undefined G-Center
- Ways to embrace your natural ability to evolve without losing yourself
If you’ve ever felt pressure to "find yourself," “figure yourself out” or “stick to one path,” this episode will help you reclaim the power of your adaptable, flexible nature.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to prove your worth, work harder to deserve success, or constantly seek validation, your Undefined Heart Center might be at play.
The Undefined Heart Center is one of the most conditioned areas in Human Design, leaving many of us stuck in overworking, over-promising, and over-proving. But what if your worthiness wasn’t something you had to prove—but something you simply owned?
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
- How the Undefined Heart Center impacts self-worth and validation
- The sneaky ways it shows up in career, relationships, and daily life
- How to stop the cycle of proving yourself and start trusting your natural value
If you’ve ever thought “I just need to work harder” or “I’ll feel worthy when…”, this episode is for you.

What if the way you show up in relationships has less to do with effort—and more to do with your subconscious capacity?
Returning to the show is my friend, mentor, and frequent guest, Nadia Gabrielle—a teacher of conscious strategy and subconscious capacity.
In this episode, Nadia and I dive into the deep, often overlooked connection between capacity and relationships. She shares how our subconscious beliefs shape the way we connect with others—whether in personal relationships, work dynamics, or even our relationship with institutions and systems.
Through real-life case studies and personal experiences, we explore:
- How subconscious capacity impacts relationships (in ways you might not expect)
- The patterns that keep you stuck in relational burnout, overgiving, or misalignment
- Strategies for building resilience and repairing connections—without depleting yourself
If you’ve ever felt drained in your relationships, struggled to hold boundaries, or wondered why certain dynamics feel so hard, this conversation is for you.
Tune in to learn how to expand your capacity and transform the way you relate to others—without losing yourself in the process.

Are tracking apps harmful?
For the longest time, I didn’t know how to listen to my body.

When speaking of their Human Design, I often hear language classifying things as “good” or “bad,” but there isn’t anything “good” or “bad” in one’s Human Design.
So, in the episode, I clarify the following misconceptions about Human Design:
- Defined Centers are “good”
- Undefined Centers are “bad”
- Influence is “bad”
- My Human Design doesn’t resonate with me, so it’s “wrong”
- I’ve been conditioned, so I did something “wrong”
- There’s always a “like for like” answer
…and how to reframe your perception of them.

We all want to be the best versions of ourselves, which is why we set goals and resolutions. Yet when it comes down to it, the vast majority of people aren’t willing to commit to whatever the necessary changes are for their desires to come to fruition.
But nothing changes if nothing changes, and that’s why setting goals and resolutions can seem trivial.
So, what’s the one thing that compels you, that motivates you, that makes you commit to doing all the things necessary to transform and reach your goals?

What does “healthy” mean to you?
I could ask 10 people this question and get 10 very different answers. Our interpretations depend on what phase of life we're in and what we're going through at any given time, which is why having clarity and context of what “healthy” means to you matters.
In this episode, I take a deeper look into:

- What does “optimize” mean and how do we optimize our health
- How do we embrace our bio-individuality not just in physical, but also in mental and emotional health (hint: following your Human Design)

With February being the new January, it’s still that time of year to think about goals and resolutions.
I used to get so caught up in the debate of goals vs. resolutions vs. intentions. These days I’ve come to realize that they were rooted in the “shoulds” - what I “thought” I should be doing, aka what society expects and everyone else was doing (which, if you really think about it, is just all of us enabling each other when it's very possible none of us wants to be doing “those things” at all).
In this episode, I throw out questions to ask yourself when setting goals in an exercise of self-observation with judgment to peel back the layers and see if it's something you truly want for yourself - and why.
I also share a few of my goals for the new year (which I think are very doable!).
Because what it comes down to is how well we know ourselves, how much we're willing to accept ourselves and understand how we're influenced. And Human Design illuminates these things for us in a very deep and aligned way.

In this episode, we explore the four motor centers: Root, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Heart centers. You’ll hear me share:

In this episode, we explore:

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 are 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

Decluttering is more than just cleaning up. It’s organizing your environment and keeping yourself better in control of what you surround yourself with.
Clutter can be associated with laziness but this isn’t always the case. Often, there are deeper reasons behind clutter, and sometimes professional help can help explore and address this.
As a Functional Nutrition and Human Design Health Coach, I find that our environments play a bigger role than just being our surroundings.
In the last episode, I talked about hidden mold, but how about a problem much more visible to us?

After I first started on my journey to better health, I hit a plateau when I felt I wasn’t progressing as timely as expected.
When I consulted my doctor about it, I learned that sometimes the devil is in the details-- and I might not have been making the best decisions in the products I was using daily.
My doctor asked me, “What about toxins in your home? What’s in your tap water? Your everyday things?” and that’s what got me on this journey to discover the better, safer alternatives to my everyday products.
From makeup and personal care products to the Teflon pans and cookware we use. Though we may not be exposed to large quantities at a time, using these things daily exposes us to harmful chemicals that add to our toxic load, so much so that we can eventually feel its effects on our health.
In this episode you’ll hear me discuss:
- My journey and struggles to better health and how environmental toxins landed on my radar
- Everyday products that you’re using that can affect your health

As a health coach, I’ve had my fair share of challenges in my health.
Back in 2004, I first ventured into (what I perceived to be) healthy eating and was dogmatic in counting every calorie that came my way. Years later I struggled with a variety of digestive conditions and poor gut health.
Along the way I’ve experimented with a variety of nutritional therapies and have come to learn that not all of them have the same effect, nor are they suited for the long-term, and, depending on one’s approach, can end up doing more harm than good.
In this episode, I share how I’ve adapted to the shifting nutritional needs that my body has required through different phases of my life.
You’ll hear me discuss:
- My health journey from weight loss to fueling for endurance training to repairing my gut health
- The aha moment when my weight plateaued
- How I’ve come full circle with macros

This pandemic has had me asking myself many times over, ”How can I look at this situation differently?” What is normal now is uncertainty. This is one of the big battles that we’re facing at this time. We’re uncertain of what will happen to our jobs, our businesses, our families, and basically our entire lives. And all this uncertainty is causing us stress.
But what if we "think differently?" What could happen if we let go of all the mental, emotional and physical burdens that stress brings? Easier said than done, I know, but how about, instead of accepting stress as a part of the new normal, let’s take a different approach and learn ways to reframe it in a positive way.
In this episode, I share my personal experiences with stress in the first few months of the quarantine and how I’ve dealt with it.
You’ll hear me discuss:
- Work stress
- Facing the possibility of being laid off
- Dealing with uncertainties
- My personal experiences in feeling unbalanced, out of control, and defeated
- How I took a different approach

It’s easy to think that we’re pretty healthy when we take supplements. This is true to some extent, but taking supplements is only one part of living a healthy life, and at times, can be overprescribed.
In this episode, I highlight supplementation and share my journey of how I started taking them back in 2013 when I began my self-healing journey to improve my overall health. I share how supplements helped me achieve optimal health over the years together, along with eating a well-nourished diet, practicing healthy lifestyle habits, and taking an integrative approach with prescriptions from medical and wellness experts.

Oftentimes, we focus on different factors that hinder us from being successful in whatever it is we want to do when all along we’re standing in our own way.

I’m pausing new episodes for the month of June to continue watching, reading, listening, and learning about anti-racism.
My personal interest lies in learning how racism impacts our food, health, and wellness, and then what I can do to fight it.
I’ll see you back here on Tuesday, July 7, 2020.
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 it 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?
One positive thing that quarantine life has given me is the gift of time to do this inner work that I may have never done otherwise.
Some of that inner work has been done with the help of my dear friend, and returning guest Sadie Adams. Sadie first joined me in Episode 117 where we talked about nurturing natural beauty through calm presence & authentic self-expression.
In this episode, Sadie returns to share her insights and wisdom on how she’s helping me. While its hard to put a name to her work (as you’ll hear us chat about), Sadie draws from her vast education, wisdom, and many gifts to help people self-heal through repatterning, embodiment, and integrating the body, mind, and spirit. Using modalities like breathwork, meditation, and movement, she helps people come back into their bodies by reclaiming their presence, choices, and freedom.
You’ll hear us discuss how she’s helping me:
- Repattern and releasing my mindset of “need to / have to” which in turn helps me with relaxation and tapping into my parasympathetic system to ultimately help me sleep better
- Use breathwork and movement to relieve aches and pains
- 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. If you’ve made diet and lifestyle changes but your issues still haven’t fully resolved, then I invite you to listen to this episode and explore the deep kind of inner work 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 we 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.
