Manifestation, Podcast

Have you ever paused long enough to ask yourself: Am I creating my life, or just reacting to it?

In a world that glorifies busy and rewards fitting in, it’s easy to fall into autopilot—checking off the boxes, chasing the next “should,” and forgetting we have a choice in how we show up. But what happens when we hit pause, turn inward, and choose to design our life with intention?

That’s where the magic begins.

In my latest podcast episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with life and energy coach Megan Johnston, and let me tell you—this one’s a heart-opener. Megan lives and breathes intentionality, and she’s built her coaching practice around helping others rediscover their clarity, their courage, and their truest selves through Human Design and energy alignment.

Designing Your Life Isn’t About Doing More — It’s About Becoming More You

Megan and I talked about what it really looks like to live by design, not default. Spoiler: it’s less about what you’re doing, and more about who you’re being while you do it. It’s about peeling back the layers of conditioning, outdated expectations, and people-pleasing patterns (yep, we went there too).

Because let’s be real: people-pleasing often masquerades as kindness—but at its core, it’s about control. Megan shared a powerful reframe that might sting a little at first but is deeply liberating once it lands: when we people-please, we’re actually putting our comfort above someone else’s truth. That hit hard.

Human Design, Unpacked (Just Enough to Spark Your Curiosity)

Whether you’re new to Human Design or you’ve been geeking out on charts for years, this episode offers a soulful intro to each of the design types. Megan breaks it down in a way that’s easy to digest and full of “ah-ha” moments.

You’ll learn:

• The unique strengths of each design type
• How to make aligned decisions based on your energetic blueprint
• Why living in your design creates more ease (not more rules)

It’s a beautiful reminder that you don’t need to become anything to be enough—you just need to remember who you were before the world told you otherwise.

The Abundance Trap & Asking for What You Actually Want

We also touched on a sneaky little mindset that many of us fall into: the belief that abundance means having everything. But maybe true abundance is about having exactly what lights you up, and nothing more. We talk about clearing the clutter—physically, mentally, emotionally—to make space for what’s truly yours.

And if asking for what you want feels uncomfortable? You’re not alone. But you are worthy. Always.

This conversation is for anyone in a season of change, reflection, or reclaiming. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to come back home to yourself, to live with more clarity and less noise, this one’s for yo
