Are you running yourself into the ground in the name of ambition, when really your nervous system is so wired that slowing down feels dangerous? Have you tied your worthiness so deeply to your output that rest feels like a threat? What if the exhaustion, gut issues, and hormonal chaos aren't signs you need to push harder but signals from a body screaming for you to cultivate safety around stillness?

In this episode, I sit down with Hope Pedraza, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Human Design Guide, to unpack how worthiness wounds show up as overwork and ambition. I share why functional labs reveal the physical cost of emotional suppression, how Hope's own adrenal burnout became her wake-up call, and why the paradigm shift we're seeing is about discovering what freedom and success actually mean for you as an individual.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why productivity and ambition are often trauma responses masking the fact that rest doesn't feel safe in your nervous system, and how Hope ran herself into severe adrenal burnout before recognizing she'd spent years tying her worthiness to her output.
• How your Human Design centers connect directly to physical systems like your root center governing adrenals and the pressure driving burnout, your sacral tied to reproductive organs and life force energy, and your throat center connected to thyroid function and the ability to speak your truth (as evidenced by two clients in narcissistic relationships who both had thyroid issues).
• Why the paradigm shift accelerating in 2027 isn't just about doing less but discovering what freedom and success actually mean for you as an individual, and how COVID sparked people questioning whether the life they'd been building was the one they actually wanted.

Rebecca Matchett is a seasoned entrepreneur known for identifying market gaps and creating innovative solutions that transform industries

With over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience, she has founded and led successful fashion companies including the global powerhouse alice+olivia and the groundbreaking fitness apparel brand TrioFit.

Driven by her passion for fostering inclusive communities, Rebecca co-founded synchrony, an innovative social app designed to empower neurodivergent adults through genuine connections and supportive technology. At synchrony, Rebecca blends her business acumen with her commitment to social impact, redefining the role of entrepreneurship in creating meaningful, inclusive spaces.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

• Why the neurodivergent community has been overlooked by every major social app on the market and how synchrony finally fills that gap.
• The three essential elements Rebecca looks for in any venture (problem-solving, market gap, and mission) and why combining all three gave her the confidence to leave fashion behind and step into unfamiliar tech territory.
• How synchrony's verification process and AI chat assistant Jesse create authentic community and safe communication without replacing human connection and why this is "the proper use of AI" according to every developer they interviewed.

Have you ever felt like you’re giving your gifts away for free because you love what you do but deep down, you know something’s out of energetic balance? Maybe you’ve built your business around what feels safe or familiar, while the work that actually lights you up feels “too risky” to sell. What if the success you’ve been chasing isn’t about learning a new strategy but about trusting what’s already working through you, your design, your dreams, and your deeper calling?

After years of teaching for free, Megan Kaun turned her intuitive gift for Dreamwork into a sold-out program in less than 90 days. In this episode, we unpack how she overcame resistance, simplified her strategy, and learned to trust the work that was already calling her. And proof that your most aligned path is often the one you’ve been avoiding.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why giving away your gifts “for free” can signal a deeper imbalance between your purpose and prosperity and how to bring them back into alignment.
• The simple energetic principle that helped Megan go from undercharging and over-teaching to selling out her first paid program in just eight weeks.
• How resistance often hides right behind the thing you’re meant to be doing and why following what feels uncomfortable is usually the portal to success.
• The difference between analytical dreaming and intentional Dreamwork and how asking the right questions before bed can unlock clarity, creativity, and new directions in your business.
• Why trusting your intuitive path doesn’t mean abandoning structure but refining it to support your natural design and energy type.
