Inspired By Design With Katie Ruppert

Vulnerable. Personal. And maybe… a little unexplainable.In today’s episode, I’m sharing a story I’ve never fully unpacked like this before—one that completely shifted how I see life, death, and everything in between.It starts with a memory from high school… A sudden loss. A moment frozen in time.And it leads to an experience 20 years later that I still can’t logically explain—but also can’t deny.This episode is about: Grief that stays with you in quiet ways  The moments that don’t make sense—but feel deeply true  Letting go of needing to have all the answers  Opening yourself to possibility, even when it challenges what you were taught  And what happens when you allow mystery instead of resisting it I also share how this experience: Shifted my relationship with faith and spirituality  Helped me find peace in a season of questioning  Opened me up to signs, synchronicities, and deeper connection If you’ve ever: Felt a presence you couldn’t explain  Noticed “coincidences” that felt too perfect  Questioned what happens after we die  Or wondered if your loved ones are still somehow with you… This conversation will meet you there.Mentioned in this episode: Netflix series exploring near-death experiences & the unexplained  Mediumship readings & intuitive connections  Tarot (The Light Seer’s deck)  Reiki & energy healing experiences  Full Moon in Scorpio workshop 🌕  Mother’s Day Human Design connection readings (special offer through May)Support the showKatie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.

I missed my first Friday episode ever… and it turned out to be the perfect lesson in consistency.After moving into my new apartment, I spent a full week unpacking, organizing, and following the burst of energy that came from a full-body “yes.”Instead of beating myself up for stepping away from work, I watched my Human Design as a Manifesting Generator play out in real time.In this episode, I’m sharing what the move taught me about: Trusting your energy instead of forcing productivity  Why consistency isn’t about doing the same thing every day  How Human Design can help you stop fighting your natural rhythm  A simple full-moon check-in practice to release what’s not working  The powerful reminder that helps me when life feels overwhelming: Only connect.If you’ve ever worried that you’re “too inconsistent,” this conversation might change the way you see yourself.In This Episode Why missing a week of the podcast was actually aligned with my energy  What I noticed about my Manifesting Generator energy while moving  The difference between rigid structure vs. natural rhythm How Human Design helped me stop judging my productivity  The power of the Full Moon reflection practice My personal anchor phrase for overwhelm: “Only connect.”Mentioned in the Episode🌙 Work With the Moon Workshops May 1 – Detox Yoga (MindBody App) May 7 - Chakra Healing Room June 4 – The Chakra Healing Room 🍵 Tea Ceremony Event April 12 – Lake St. Louis (Katie sharing the Human Design energy of the day)🌿 Permission to Pause Retreat Last weekend of April – just outside St. Louis✨ Book a Human Design Reading Connection readings available (gift cards can be redeemed!)🎧 Inspired by Design Podcast Explore previous episodes about Human Design, energy rhythms, and self-discovery.Support the showKatie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.

What if scaling your business didn’t require more hustle… but more alignment?This week on Inspired by Design, Katie sits down with transformational business scaling coach Priyanka Khandalkar to explore what happens when success built on hustle stops working.Priyanka shares her journey from high-achieving engineer in male-dominated manufacturing plants to coaching over 1,200 entrepreneurs and helping businesses scale sustainably.Along the way she experienced something many ambitious leaders know all too well: burnout.In this conversation, Priyanka opens up about the moment she realized the traditional “scale fast” model wasn’t aligned with how she wanted to live or lead—and how learning to trust intuition, build systems, and create space for creativity completely transformed her business and life.Katie and Priyanka also explore the connection between strategy, intuition, and human design, and why building a business that works for you matters more than following someone else’s formula.If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a better way to grow your work without sacrificing your wellbeing, this episode is a refreshing perspective.In This Episode You'll HearPriyanka’s path from engineer to entrepreneurWhat burnout taught her about scaling a businessWhy the typical “hustle harder” approach fails many entrepreneursHow intuition and structure can work together in businessThe “rubber band effect” that causes inconsistent incomeWhy entrepreneurs must build systems before scalingHow to identify marketing strategies that align with your personalityThe power of visibility when building a businessMemorable TakeawaysSuccess doesn’t have to come from pushing harder.Scaling requires systems, not just effort.The right marketing strategy depends on how you naturally connect with people.Sustainable growth comes from alignment + structure.Resources & Links MentionedPriyanka’s Delegation & Automation Workbook (Free Gift)getyoursop.comPriyanka’s podcast: Show Up With [email protected] https://synrgee.net getyoursop.comSupport the showKatie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.

One year ago, I pressed record — not because I had a strategy, but because I couldn’t not do it.In this anniversary episode, I reflect on 54 episodes, unexpected themes, personal growth, business pivots, nervous system regulation in real time, and what it meant to record conversations about peace while actively rebuilding my own.This year wasn’t just about launching a podcast. It was about finding my voice. Choosing myself. And learning that clarity only comes after courage.If you’ve ever wondered whether messy, imperfect action is enough — this one’s for you.What We Talk AboutWhy my first official episode was recorded in one takeWhat “responding to yourself” actually looks like as a sacral generatorHow overwhelm quietly became the through-line of 54 episodesThe shift from teaching Human Design to embodying itRecording episodes about nervous system regulation while actively regulating my ownBusiness pivots, letting go of offers, and trusting trial and errorWalking through a separation after 20 years of marriageChoosing peace even when it feels uncomfortableBecoming my own validation and closureWhy this podcast became my anchor during the hardest year of my lifeWhat you can expect in Year TwoMentioned in This Episode✨ Upcoming Workshop: Flow by Design – Beginner Yoga by Energy Type (Feb 27) Detox Yoga Studios🍵 Tea Party Experience (April 12) in Lake St. LouisWorkshops at The Chakra Healing RoomTeam Human Design sessions for workplace teamsFree Facebook GroupSupport the showKatie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.

Together, they explore stability and ease (sirisukham), subconscious reprogramming, and simple tools you can use in real life — not just on a yoga mat or meditation cushion.You’ll hear about:Why January 1st is a social construct (and how to choose a better start date)How all-or-nothing thinking sabotages consistencyWhy habits live in the subconscious — not logicHow hypnosis works (and what it actually feels like)The connection between flow state, hypnosis, and presenceSimple nervous system tools like breathing and hummingWhy experimentation works better than perfectionMatt’s Subconscious Sanctuary: a fusion of Yin Yoga + HypnosisThis episode is an invitation to try something different this year — not by doing more, but by listening more closely to your body, energy, and inner cues.Links & MentionsMatt Dickson – The Hypnotic YogiSubconscious Sanctuary (Yin Yoga + Hypnosis)Hypnosis & nervous system regulationYin Yoga at Jane's HouseSirisukham: stability and easeBreathwork + humming for regulationIG: https://www.instagram.com/mdickson28/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehypnoticyogiFB: https://www.facebook.com/matt.dickson.35/Support the showKatie Ruppert is a transformational coach who helps women trade overwhelm and striving for more peace, energy, and ease.

The pressure to “fix your whole life” in January is real — and exhausting.In this first episode of 2026, Katie offers a refreshing alternative to traditional goal setting that honors your energy, your nervous system, and the season of life you’re actually in. Instead of resolutions, hustle, or rigid SMART goals, she shares a simple, practical ritual she’s used consistently for over a year: checking in with herself at the New Moon and Full Moon.Inspired by faith-based rhythms, seasonal living, astrology, and Human Design, this practice isn’t about doing more — it’s about tuning in. Twice a month, you pause. You reflect. You release what’s no longer serving you and gently plant seeds for what you want to grow next.No moon knowledge required. No belief system required. Just honesty, simplicity, and permission to make small changes without blowing up your life.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why January goal-setting often backfiresHow the New Moon supports planting intentions (without pressure)How the Full Moon helps you release what’s draining you — without shameA powerful rope metaphor for letting goSimple journal prompts you can use in 5–15 minutesHow to personalize this ritual using Human Design or astrology (optional)Katie’s Word of the Year for 2026 — and how she received itMentioned & Linked:Serenity Now Float Spa (float therapy experience)Inspired by Design Facebook CommunityTry This: Mark the next New Moon and Full Moon on your calendar and spend a few quiet minutes checking in with yourself.

As 2025 comes to a close and the next chapter begins, this episode is an invitation to pause—right in the middle of the becoming.In this honest, grounded conversation, Katie sits down with fellow coach Adrienne Swanson to explore what it really looks like to navigate seasons of change that don’t feel clear, clean, or comfortable. From business evolution to motherhood, identity shifts, and those in-between moments where certainty is nowhere to be found, this is a conversation for anyone who has wondered:“Am I lost… or am I just in transition?”Together, two coaches reflect on:Making peace with the messy middle instead of rushing through itWhy uncertainty doesn’t mean you’re off trackTrusting yourself when the old chapter no longer fits, but the new one hasn’t fully arrivedNavigating transitions in business, motherhood, and personal identityHow core values quietly guide us—even when things feel messyLetting this season shape you, rather than judging itThis episode feels like the kind of conversation you might pay good money to sit in on—but instead, it’s offered as a gift. A moment of reflection. A deep exhale. A gentle guide as you close out 2025 and step toward 2026 with more trust, compassion, and clarity.If you’re standing at the edge of a new chapter—without a clear map—this conversation will remind you: You’re not behind.
