The Find Your Awesome Podcast

Social media took our lives by storm more than a decade ago—for some it was even earlier than that. Earlier this year I made the conscious choice to step away from social media, and more than three months later, I’m not missing it. In fact, I can see now how it was impacting my life in ways I didn't anticipate. I’ve been feeling called to share this adventure with you and Tina graciously helped me...

Wake-up calls come in many forms. For Dr. Diva Nagula, the call came in 2014 when he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. With this diagnosis came an invitation to heal all parts of himself—body, mind, and spirit—so he could come into alignment. Dr. Nagula is a board-certified osteopathic physician with extensive knowledge and training in Integrative and Functional Medicine. Suddenly...

Human Design has so many levels to explore—energy types, arrows, profiles, energy centers, gates, channels and more. Our profiles (the two numbers like 2/4, 3/5 or 4/6) are the Human Design equivalent of personalities. In this episode, I pull out a couple characteristics of some of the profiles and talk about how we can really truly support people with those profiles. We are all different. What su...

Makai (my soul dog) is so filled with wisdom and unconditional love. Through a recent health scare, he taught me so much more—and inspired this episode. Join Tina Olsen and me as we share Makai’s wisdom, talk about true healing, miracles, distractions and “negotiating with the terrorist of hard.” There is so much heart energy in this conversation. I hope you feel it.

It was such a treat to have a conversation with the author of a book I love. Elise Hooper is the author of Fast Girls, an incredible story of the 1936 U.S. Women’s Olympic track team.

She and I delve into the book she wrote, and...

There’s little doubt that 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. And we’re all being called to take back our power.

Peter McDougall (my husband) and I are back again. This time, we discuss the ways Human Design has helped us identify conditioning and how it influences our behavior. We touch on how conditioning can impact manifestors and generators (and thus manifesting generators), on how it leads to shoulds and the role it can play in limiting our intuition. Unsurprisingly, we also follow a few segues to some...

Peter McDougall (my husband) is back! In this episode, we dig into how Human Design has helped us learn more about each other. It has had an impact on so much of our relationship, but we have focused this episode on three specific areas: our different emotional waves, Pete’s understanding of the “hermit” aspect of his 2/4 profile and finding a balance with our different root and ajna centers.

A lot of people have asked me to lay out the path I’ve been on, and how it illustrates the seeming randomness of the life of a Manifesting Generator. From completing a double major and additional minor in college, to quitting my job and moving to Maine, to becoming a life coach… there are a lot of common themes in this seeming randomness. And they were all tools and skills I needed to pick up alon...

We cover the general, such as how human design gives us permission to be who we are meant to be, all the way into the details, including what role open centers play in our human design. This week’s episode is all about play, and I hope you enjoy listening in as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Meg is a gem. As an intuitive projector and gifted healer, she sees humans so clearly and has an incredible gift of guiding us through the tough stuff.
