Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast

What if the very thing you believe you need to grow your business is actually the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, Nicole explores the common trap entrepreneurs fall into when they rely solely on healing or solely on strategy—never realizing that sustainable success requires both. She breaks down why spiritual entrepreneurs often master the energetic side yet struggle to create consistent income, even while their content inspires, resonates, and attracts attention. Nicole also speaks to the entrepreneurs who have stacked strategy on strategy but haven't shifted their internal patterns, leaving them frustrated when the "right steps" don't yield the right results. Through personal stories and client examples, she shows how real transformation happens when you take action, hit an obstacle, and then work through what that moment brings up—using life itself as the catalyst for growth. She illustrates how many people remain in perpetual preparation mode, gathering certifications, perfecting their message, or doing more healing work instead of testing their skills in the real world. With a powerful analogy from her son's first Taekwondo competition, Nicole highlights why true mastery can only be built through experience—not just practice. Finally, she explains how blending energetic alignment with clear, strategic messaging allows your content to move people from "I love this" to "I want to work with you." If you've been wondering why your efforts don't match your outcomes, or why you feel inspired but not profitable, this episode will help you understand what's missing—and how to finally bridge that gap.

Have you ever wondered why you can have all the drive, skills, and strategy in the world… and still feel stuck in your business? In this episode, Nicole breaks down the real reason so many spiritual entrepreneurs struggle to gain traction, even when they're doing "all the right things." She explores the subtle but powerful disconnect between working harder and actually operating in alignment — and why no funnel, message tweak, or certification can compensate for an energetic mismatch beneath the surface. Nicole shares personal stories from her transition out of Wall Street, revealing how she discovered that success isn't created through sheer effort but through mastering who you are being. She also explains how Human Design and deconditioning helped her shift long-held patterns, step into her gifts, and finally experience the magnetism she had been trying to force through strategy alone. If you've found yourself self-sabotaging, procrastinating, or attracting misaligned clients, this episode offers a refreshing and eye-opening perspective. You'll learn why your energy tells the truth even when your words don't — and how embodying your design can change the way your business responds to you.

What if the secret to doubling your sales wasn't about doing more, but about doing less — and doing it intentionally? In this episode, Nicole shares how she transformed her business by breaking free from the content hamster wheel and focusing her energy on what truly moves the needle. She opens up about the fear-driven patterns that keep entrepreneurs in overdrive — from anxious action to creative burnout — and how regulating your nervous system can completely change how you show up and make decisions. Nicole also reveals the turning point that led her to reimagine her entire content strategy, turning one hour of focused work per week into over $200K in annual sales. You'll hear the real story behind how she built an evergreen content machine using her podcast as the hub — a system that lets her stay visible, consistent, and connected to her audience without being glued to social media. She also explains why short-form trends rarely build trust, and how long-form storytelling can establish your authority faster and more authentically than you might think. If you're tired of chasing the algorithm, feeling scattered, or wondering how to create meaningful momentum with less stress, this episode will show you a new way to grow your business — one that's grounded, intentional, and deeply aligned with who you are.

What if success had less to do with how hard you work and everything to do with the energy you bring? In this episode, Nicole shares a fresh perspective on what it really takes to create results that feel aligned, sustainable, and deeply satisfying. She opens up about her own shift from grinding her way through business to leading with energetic alignment—and how that one change transformed everything. You'll hear how relying only on strategy can keep you stuck in hustle mode, chasing the next tactic or platform without ever finding real flow. Nicole explains how putting energy first amplifies every strategic move you make and why Human Design is such a powerful framework for understanding how you're meant to succeed. Throughout the conversation, she breaks down what it means to operate from expanded rather than contracted energy—how to tell when you're forcing versus flowing—and how to reconnect to the truth of your design so that money, clients, and opportunities come with more ease. If you're ready to stop pushing and start aligning, this episode will show you a new way to approach success—one that feels as good as it looks. Listen now!

Have you been feeling a restless pull toward change — but can't quite tell what's shifting beneath the surface? In this month's Human Design and astrology conversation, Nicole and Christina explore the energetic transition from Libra's balance to Scorpio's depth, and what it means to navigate the unknown with grace. Together, they unpack the power of "inactive prep time" — that sacred pause where transformation brews quietly before it's ready to emerge. As they reflect on their own experiences through Libra season, they share how waiting, stillness, and self-trust become catalysts for aligned action. Nicole opens up about resisting the urge to rush forward and how clarity finally arrives when you let the process unfold naturally. Christina offers her insights on holding steady during times of emotional intensity and learning to feel safe in stability. Throughout the conversation, they explore the key Human Design and astrological themes shaping November — from Gate 63's invitation to question with purpose, to the activation of Gate 34's personal power, to the creative spark of the 1/8 channel. These shifting energies ask us to release control, trust our timing, and remember that true creation often begins long before the moment of action. If you've sensed something stirring within you but haven't yet found the form it wants to take, this episode will remind you that the waiting isn't wasted — it's where your next evolution is already taking shape.

Have you ever felt like you were doing everything "right," yet somehow lost touch with your own power? In this honest and intimate episode, Nicole shares how a season of confusion and overthinking pulled her off course — and how Human Design became the exact framework that helped her find her way back. She opens up about the subtle ways we give our power away as entrepreneurs, from chasing other people's strategies to letting comparison sneak in, even when things seem to be going well on the outside. Through her own experience, Nicole reveals what happens when we mistake doing more for creating growth, and how quickly we can lose the clarity and confidence that once felt unshakable. You'll hear how she recognized the signs of misalignment, the practices that brought her back to center, and the mindset shifts that now guide her decisions and success. This episode is a reminder that your most powerful path isn't about finding the way — it's about finding your way, and trusting it fully. Listen now!

Have you ever wondered why you keep attracting the same kinds of relationships—or why certain dynamics show up in both your personal life and your business? In this episode, Nicole sits down with Jessica Baum, a 2/4 Pure Generator, licensed psychotherapist, and bestselling author of Anxiously Attached, to unpack the hidden patterns that shape how we connect, love, and lead. Jessica shares insights from her upcoming book Safe: An Attachment-Informed Guide to Building More Secure Relationships, and together they explore how understanding attachment theory can become a roadmap for healing and creating more fulfilling connections. Through heartfelt stories and clear explanations, Jessica breaks down the four main attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—and shows how these early patterns influence our adult lives. She explains how attachment wounds live in the body, shaping our nervous system responses and influencing the way we handle love, conflict, and even success. Nicole brings in the lens of Human Design, connecting the energetic and emotional aspects of our patterns to how we show up in our relationships and careers. Jessica and Nicole also talk about what true healing looks like: learning to feel safe in your body, finding supportive relationships that help regulate your nervous system, and honoring the coping mechanisms—or "protectors"—that once kept you safe. If you've ever felt stuck in repeating cycles or longed for more ease in your relationships, this episode will help you see that transformation is possible. Listen now!
