info_outlineIn this episode, I sit down with Alex Mufson—licensed psychotherapist, Human Design expert, and founder of Rêv—to talk about what it really means to build a business and life that’s aligned with who you are at your core.
This conversation blew me away. We covered so much ground around burnout, intuition, healing, and the kind of alignment that actually lasts. If you’re a coach, therapist, healer, entrepreneur—or someone who's done everything "right" and still feels off—this is for you.
Here’s what we dive into:
-
How to use Human Design strategy and authority to make decisions with clarity and confidence
-
Why so many women (especially Gen X) default to over-functioning in relationships, work, and parenting
-
The real-life impact of being out of alignment—on your health, your energy, your joy
-
How knowing your design (and your partner’s!) can transform how you relate without losing yourself
-
The myth of the magic wand—and why true healing sometimes means gut health, adrenal support, and functional medicine
-
What it looks like to reimagine healing work and stop self-sacrificing in the name of service
Whether you're skeptical or already obsessed with Human Design, this episode will make you think differently about how you're doing life, love, and business. 🎧 Tune in now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your favorite podcast platform.
