Powerback 136: Undoing Your Monthly Subscriptions Nov 10, 2022

Show notes

Having too many monthly subscriptions that aren’t really serving you anymore is like having the window cracked in your house in the dead of winter when your heat is blazing.
When you’re empowering yourself financially, when you're trying to get ahead, or to pay things off, or to expand your business, or to add people to your team… Whatever your goal is, if you have this little leak that's constantly going out, that's taking away energy and capacity from your life and business.
The very first step is acknowledging that you are ready and willing to look at your numbers.
So this week's Powerback® episode is designed to empower you to look at your numbers and take action. Knowledge is power. And when we can acknowledge what's going on, we have the power to make constructive changes.

Powerback 133: How to Know When You're Out of Alignment Oct 13, 2022

Show notes

In this week's Powerback® we’re talking about feeling out of alignment. Because feeling aligned is super important, but it's just as important to recognize and understand when and why you're feeling out of alignment.
Look, this isn't a quick hack; it’s a lifestyle shift. With every aligned decision that you make, you start to experience your own personal alignment a bit more. So, you do it again. And you feel a little more alive. And you do it again. And you start to realize you’re not willing to sacrifice yourself anymore.
It’s a beautiful journey, and I invite you to start today in this Powerback® episode.

133: Understanding Human Design with Brandi Yates Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

Have you taken ALL the personality tests known to mankind? Hell, you’ve even resorted to finding out which Disney Princess you are and what your name reveals about you on Buzzfeed. While they all have amazing detail – you’re searching for something deeper – something that explains who you are on a level that can’t be explained.
Insert Human Design. When I first discovered Human Design, I was blown away by the accuracy, depth, and the “how the hell do you know that about me?”
If you’re new to Human Design or have been Googling your chart trying to make sense of it – get a pen because today’s episode is going to rock your world. That’s why I invited Brandi Yates, a Human Design Coach, to help us understand Human Design and what it can tell us about ourselves.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

The moment Human Design was first introduced to Brandi
What Human Design is and why it is a game-changer
The four types of Human Design types
What are strategies and authorities (and how they are used) in Human Design
How Human Design affects your business
The Human Design Centers

Brandi is a Human Design Coach that helps individuals understand their energetic make-up so that they can shift their energy to better align themselves to who they truly are and attract the life they truly desire.
