In My Non-Expert Opinion

218: Are you over the meme-ification of Human Design? I am. As a Reflector, I’m constantly told that I’m a unicorn, shapeshifter, and chameleon - WTF does that mean in the real world? How can I use that knowledge day to day?The internet, especially Instagram, lacks nuance. That’s why I’m so excited to bring today’s guest, Emma Dunwoody, to dig into the real depth of Human Design!Emma Dunwoody is a Human Design Expert, Master Coach and Behavioral Specialist who believes in the importance of being your own guru. She also hosts the #1 Global Human Design Podcast “The Human Design Podcast.” Her perspective is so refreshing because she doesn’t believe in the prescriptive nature that so many Human Design accounts try to push on the internet.Similar to astrology, it’s important to take your entire chart into account and translate it based on YOUR truth. If you get a reading from an expert, they’re still distilling the information from their own perspective. Emma is working to teach people how to read and interpret their own charts intuitively. Stay tuned until the end, where she’ll be answering listener questions!In this episode, we chat about: Busting myths about Reflectors (I got you bb’s!) Our Human Design pet peeves How to use Human Design within your business What to do about “consistency” if you’re constantly inconsistent Breaking out of the stereotypes of your design Why learning to interpret your own chart is so beneficialCatch this episode about how I run my business as a Reflector!Want to launch a podcast?

217: Authority used to be a word that activated my rage. But as business owners, we’re constantly hearing how important it is to “establish our authority.” I always felt this framing set up a weird power dynamic between business owner and client.Today’s guest, Hayley Lloyd, completely reframed my understanding of authority by introducing the idea of “feminine authority.” Hayley is a Business & Mindset Coach specializing in guiding service-based business owners to become Feminine Authorities online & scale to multi 6 /7 figures.Hayley is extremely business savvy. That was clear to me in the first few minutes of our conversation. But she also integrates her business knowledge with energetics to really ground the experience of leading a business. As we near the end of the year and our feeds are cluttered with scarcity and urgency, I know this listen is going to help you get your feet back on the ground and flow in your biz!In this episode, we chat about: Why going “all in” too soon can derail your business How reinvesting in the business pays off in the long run Hayley’s signature process of establishing “feminine authority” How to start listening to your body to make decisions What is inner authority vs. outer authority?Want to launch a podcast?

213: No, you don’t automatically need to go on birth control or Accutane in order to heal your acne. In fact, you probably shouldn’t because both ‘solutions’ come with REAL consequences for your health.Today’s guests, Danielle Gronich & Kayleigh Christina, are co-founders of CLEARSTEM Skincare, the one-and-only toxin-free skincare line that targets both acne + aging at the same time. A few years ago, Kayleigh was experiencing cystic acne so badly, she couldn’t recognize herself in the mirror — a solution was desperately needed.After being let down by western medicine, Kayleigh found Danielle’s acne clinic and finally got the care she deserved. The holistic approach Danielle used cleared up Kayleigh's skin and transformed both of their lives. A business was born from the passion they both had for the healing process and the need to bring comprehensive solutions to more people.These two are the definition of the Yin and Yang — Danielle is the science mastermind and Kayleigh is the marketing wizard; together, they’re making CLEARSTEM a powerhouse brand, here to stay.Whether you struggle with acne, or want some brutally honest skincare tips, (sprinkled with some well-rounded business advice) - this episode is for you. These two are a prime example of powering a business with passion!In this episode, we discuss: CLEARSTEM’s unconventional origin story Understanding the root causes of acne Why birth control isn’t the answer to your acne Pore-clogging ingredients (and how to spot them!)

212: Imagine opening up your Stripe account, changing the view to “The Past Month” and seeing the number $100,000 on the screen. A $100K MONTH.
