What your Chart knows that you don’t!
Today we’re talking about why you might be struggling in your business and why your Human Design might be the only tool that can show you what’s really going on beneath the surface.
This episode is for the business owner who keeps asking, ‘Why does this STILL feel off — even when I’m doing everything “right”?’
Hey love . welcome to The Magnetic Business Podcast (THE NEW DIRECTION OF THIS PODCAST AD BLOG).. the space where we rewrite business from the inside out, using your Human Design as the compass, not the rulebook.
I’m Stefanie Carlstedt — Human Design & Business Coach, mom, creator, and woman who’s walked the path of doing all the “right” things… and still wondering why it felt so wrong.
If you’ve landed here, I’m guessing you’ve felt that too.
You’ve hired the mentors. Signed up for the courses. You’ve downloaded the launch guides, tried the content batching, the buyer psychology hacks…
But your business still feels heavy. You’re still second-guessing yourself. You’re still waking up with this quiet whisper that says,
“This isn’t it.”
Today we’re talking about why that happens — and why your Human Design might be the only tool that can show you what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Because friend… your chart knows something your mind doesn’t.
THE INVISIBLE GAP
Let’s talk about that invisible gap you feel.
You’ve “done the things” — and logically, you should be further ahead. But no matter what you try, it’s like something in your business still doesn’t click.
The branding might look polished.
The offers might make sense.
You’re posting consistently, you’ve worked on your mindset…
…but it all still feels a little off.
And maybe you’ve even wondered:
“Do I just not have what it takes?”
“Maybe I’m not meant to do this…”
Or the deepest one: “Am I broken?”
Let me pause right here and say:
No. You’re not broken.
You’ve just been building a business that’s out of alignment with your natural energetic blueprint.
Because business doesn’t fail at the strategy level first. It fails at the energetic level — long before the algorithm, the pricing, or the marketing plan.
WHAT YOUR CHART REVEALS (THAT GOOGLE NEVER COULD)
This is where Human Design changed everything for me — and why it’s at the core of my work now.
Your Human Design chart isn’t here to label you. It’s here to liberate you.
When I first saw my design, it explained why I’d burned out — even when I was “successful.”
It showed me why I was attracting clients who didn’t feel aligned,
why I kept launching offers that didn’t feel mine,
and why I’d outsourced my voice — even when I had something powerful to say.
Let’s ground this with my own Keys and Locks — because they’re a reflection of the work I now do with clients.
💥 Gate 55 – Freedom: I’m not here to follow someone else’s system. I’m here to show others how to create freedom by being fully themselves.
💥 Gate 34 – Empowered Energy: I thrive in aligned action, not over-efforting. And that’s what I help others tap into — real, embodied momentum that’s sustainable.
💥 Gate 59 – Deep Connection: My work isn’t surface-level. I hold space for raw, intimate, truth-telling transformation — so you can build a business that’s real.
💥 Gate 20 – Truthful Expression: I’m not here to sugarcoat or perform. I’m here to speak what’s real — and help you find your truest voice in business.
And my Locks?
🔐 Gate 10 – Self-Love: When I tried to perform or perfect my way through business, it drained me. Now I teach from a place of radical self-worth and self-trust.
🔐 Gate 1 – Creative Authenticity: I used to water myself down — until I realized my creativity was the medicine. Now, my clients build brands from their true creativity, not a template.
These aren’t just poetic words in a chart.
These are the energetic codes that explain why I kept getting stuck — and why my clients were too.
THE REAL REASON BUSINESS FEELS OFF
So let’s circle back to you.
You’ve been sold the strategy.
You’ve been told the formula.
But if you’ve never been taught how your energy is meant to move,
if you’ve never been given permission to market and sell and rest and lead in a way that feels natural to you,
then of course your business feels disconnected.
Because you’ve been trying to build a brand by ignoring the blueprint you were born with.
And this is where Human Design steps in and says:
“Hey — you don’t have to keep doing this backwards.”
Your chart shows you:
What your natural strengths actually are (not just what Instagram says should work)
How your body says YES or NO to decisions
How you’re meant to sell, connect, rest, and grow
It’s like finally having the instruction manual to you —
and realizing you never needed fixing.
You just needed permission to be you in business.
PART FOUR: WHAT TO DO NEXT
So if you’ve been stuck in the loop of:
Doing what worked for someone else
Outsourcing your decisions to the algorithm
Feeling invisible or “too much” in your business
Telling yourself “once I just fix THIS one thing, I’ll feel clear…”
Then let this episode be the line in the sand.

🔥 You don’t need to do more to be successful.
You need to do what was meant for you all along.
And your chart already knows.

Not with another blueprint.
But with you — the truest version of you.

Your Brain On Conditioning
Hey friend — welcome back to Before the World Told You Who to Be.
I’m Stefanie, Certified High Performance Coach and Human Design guide — and today’s episode is going to make a lot of things click for you.
Because if you’ve ever thought,
“Why do I keep doing things that don’t feel like me?”
“Why do I keep saying yes when I mean no?”
“Why do I keep falling into burnout, frustration, people-pleasing — even after all this self-development work?”
…this is for you.
Today we’re talking about your brain on conditioning — and how Human Design can help you interrupt the patterns you didn’t choose, but keep repeating anyway.
Part 1: The Pattern Isn’t Personal — It’s Programmed
Here’s something I want you to hear loud and clear:
✨ You’re not weak. You’re not broken. Your brain is just doing its job.
Our brains are pattern-obsessed. They’re wired for safety, not truth.
So if you learned at a young age that being liked meant being quiet, or being praised meant overachieving, or love came with conditions — your nervous system took notes.
And every time you followed those rules and avoided rejection, your brain said:
✔️ “That worked. Let’s do that again.”
Even if it didn’t feel like you.
Even if it left you exhausted.
Even if it meant abandoning your own needs.
This is what we call conditioning.
Not just from childhood, but from culture, systems, religion, education, hustle culture… even social media.
And the wild thing is:
You might think you’re choosing your actions — but most of us are actually choosing what feels safest, not what feels most true.
Part 2: Enter Human Design — The Unconditioning Map
This is why Human Design is so powerful.
It’s not here to label you — it’s here to help you remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
Your chart is a literal energetic map. It shows you:
Where you're meant to be consistent
Where you're meant to be flexible
How you’re designed to make decisions, interact with others, manage energy, and lead yourself
And most importantly — where you’re most likely to be conditioned and pulled off track
That’s what changed everything for me.
I had all the tools — I was a certified coach, running a business, doing the “right” things — and still felt so off.
Until I realized I was still trying to build success from someone else’s blueprint.
And it was my own chart that helped me finally understand my energy, my patterns, and why all the personal development advice wasn’t landing.
Part 3: Practical Ways to Start Unwinding the Conditioning
Let’s make this real.
Here are 3 places you can start to spot and shift your conditioning using your Human Design:
🔹 1. Your Open or Undefined Centers
These are areas where you take in energy from the world.
For example, if you have an undefined heart center, you might constantly feel like you have to prove your worth.
If you have an undefined head, you might take in everyone else’s questions or ideas and feel like you have to figure everything out.
➡️ ACTION: Look at your chart. What’s open or white? That’s not “bad” — it’s where you’re here to sample, but not attach. Awareness here is freedom.
🔹 2. Decision-Making Through Your Authority
Most of us were taught to make decisions with our minds.
But Human Design gives you a specific inner compass — called your Authority — that tells you how you’re actually designed to decide.
➡️ ACTION: If you’re Emotional Authority — you’re not supposed to be spontaneous. If you’re Sacral — it’s about gut response, not logic. Start experimenting with small decisions using your Authority. Watch what shifts.
🔹 3. Notice Your “Shoulds”
Conditioning often hides in the word “should.”
“I should post every day.”
“I should be able to do it all.”
“I should want this job/life/business/etc.”
➡️ ACTION: Every time you say “should,” pause and ask:
“Is this actually mine? Or is this what I’ve been taught to believe?”
This one question can open everything.
The Real Work is Remembering
The point of all of this isn’t to throw away your brain or blame your past — it’s to gently reclaim your truth.
You’re not crazy for feeling stuck.
You’re not lazy for burning out.
You’re not indecisive, or broken, or “too much.”
You’ve just been living inside a pattern that was never yours.
And the beautiful thing?
You don’t have to force your way out.
You just have to see it.
And then take one aligned step at a time back home to you.

When You Outgrow the Version of Success You Were Told to Want
I’m sharing the moment everything cracked open — and how Human Design gave me the map back to myself. If you’ve ever felt like you were “doing everything right” and still felt lost, this one’s for you.
When You Outgrow the Version of Success You Were Told to Want
Let me ask you something…
Have you ever sat in a moment where, technically, everything in your life should feel like a win — and yet something inside you whispers, “This isn’t it”?
You’re successful on paper.
You’re doing everything you were told would make you happy.
But if you’re being really honest with yourself…
You feel disconnected.
Unfulfilled.
Like you’re playing a part in someone else’s story — and wondering when yours gets to begin.
This episode is for you.
✨ [My personal story — The Crack Open Moment]
I remember sitting on the other side of burnout…
On the other side of 12-hour days, smiling on the outside, people-pleasing to the point I couldn’t even recognize my own voice anymore.
And yet, I was “doing it right.”
I had been successful in network marketing for over a decade.
I was coaching, leading, building, parenting — checking every box.
But I was exhausted from living a life built from other people’s blueprints.
And when I lost my dad — everything cracked open.
Grief doesn’t just shatter your heart… it shatters your illusions.
It made me stop pretending.
And for the first time, I asked myself:
What if the life I built isn’t mine
✨ [The Shift — Enter Human Design]
That was the moment I found Human Design.
Or maybe — it found me.
Human Design didn’t give me new rules to follow.
It gave me permission to unlearn all the ones that weren’t mine.
It showed me why I worked the way I did.
Why I could never sustain hustle culture.
Why rest made me feel guilty.
Why I questioned myself, even when my gut was screaming yes.
Why I kept trying to mold myself into versions of leadership that looked good but felt wrong.
And suddenly… I saw myself.
Not the “me” shaped by childhood conditioning.
Not the “me” trained to people-please, perform, and power through.
But the version of me who had always been there — waiting to be remembered.
If you’re nodding right now, or maybe even holding back tears, I want you to hear this:
You are not broken.
You have not failed.
You’ve just been trying to succeed in a system that wasn’t designed for your energy, your gifts, your voice.
You weren’t made to follow a one-size-fits-all path.
You were designed to lead your own.
Whether you’re a business owner, a team leader, a parent, or just someone trying to feel whole again — your Human Design can show you the way back to yourself.
And not the watered-down, people-pleasing version.
The magnetic, grounded, lit-up version you were born to be.
This is why I do this work.
Because I know what it feels like to lose yourself — and I know what it takes to come home again.
My own journey through the Locks and Keys in my chart taught me that:
Lock 10 — I’m here to lead by being fully, unapologetically me
Lock 1 — That my voice and creative expression aren’t just allowed — they’re necessary
Key 55 — That emotional freedom is my compass
Key 59 — That depth and connection require truth
Key 34 — That my power comes when I honor my sacral energy
Key 20 — That the now is where my wisdom lives
And now — I help other women remember who they were before the world told them who to be.
So if you’ve outgrown the version of success they sold you…
If you’ve built a life that looks good but doesn’t feel like yours…
If you’re ready to finally stop shrinking and start leading…
Then this podcast is for you.
In this space, we’re not here to fix you.
We’re here to unlearn everything that told you you needed fixing in the first place.
You are not behind.
You are not too much.
You are right on time to remember who you are.
Let’s unlearn the noise.
Let’s decode your design.
Let’s rebuild from the inside out.
Because you — exactly as you are — were always the plan.
The Silent Pressure That’s Stealing Your Power
You are not Behind!
Episode 3: The Real Reason You Feel Behind (It’s Not What You Think)
Part of The Unlearning Sessions
Theme: Releasing shame around timing, progress, and productivity by seeing it all through the lens of Human Design.
Welcome back to The Unlearning Sessions.
Today’s episode is for the woman who keeps whispering…
“Why am I still behind?”
“Why is it taking me so long?”
“Why does everyone else seem to have figured it out already?”
If that’s you, I want to offer you something radical:
You’re not behind. You’re not broken.
You’re just not designed for their timing.
So let’s talk about what that actually means.
💭 The Timeline Trap
We’ve been trained to believe there’s a schedule for success.
A finish line. A checklist. A perfect timeline.
Start your biz by 25
Figure out your niche before you post
Hit 6 figures by year 2
Launch, scale, grow… without pausing
And when we don’t hit those markers?
We blame ourselves.
We think:
“I must be inconsistent.”
“Maybe I don’t want it badly enough.”
“Maybe I’m not cut out for this.”
But here’s what Human Design taught me — and what I need you to hear:
You were never meant to follow someone else’s timing.
You were meant to honor your own.
✨ Your Design = Your Pace
Let me break it down for you.
If you’re a Projector, your energy runs deep but not wide. You’re not built to hustle — you’re built to wait for the invitation, to be seen, to guide.
If you’re a Generator or Manifesting Generator, you might think you should be "on" all the time — but unless you're responding to aligned energy, you're just burning yourself out.
If you have an undefined root center, rushing feels like survival. But your magic lives in presence, not pressure.
If you’re an Emotional Authority, you’re not meant to make snap decisions — and that delay is wisdom, not weakness.
So no — you’re not lazy. You’re not slow. You’re not inconsistent.
You're just living in a world that never taught you to trust your own pace.
🔥 The Power of Divine Timing
Here’s the truth:
The right action at the wrong time? Still misaligned.
But when you move at the pace of your design? That’s when momentum finally clicks.
It’s not slower. It’s smarter.
It’s not passive. It’s powerful.
It’s not lazy. It’s liberating.
And the more you unlearn the timelines handed to you,
the more space you create for the right opportunities, clients, decisions — to actually land.
🌀 A Quick Story
When I started honoring my own design — as a Manifesting Generator — I stopped trying to make everything linear. I stopped trying to force launches, posts, pivots on someone else’s calendar.
And the wild thing?
When I stopped trying to be on time…
Everything arrived right on time.
The magnetism came back.
The joy came back.
The results came — faster, easier, and with way less forcing.
Because I wasn’t working against myself anymore.
I was working with the way I was always designed to move.
📣 What to Ask Yourself
So if you’ve been feeling “behind,” I want to offer you a new question:
“What if I’m right on time for me?”
Because your design is not an excuse.
It’s your edge.
It’s your clarity.
It’s the strategy underneath the strategy.
And when you learn to trust your own rhythm —
You stop running a race that was never yours to win.
👀 Up Next…
In the next episode of The Unlearning Sessions:
What Strategy Can’t Teach You (But Your Design Can)
If you've ever felt like you’re doing everything right but it’s still not working — you’re gonna want to hear this one.
You’re not too slow.
You’re not too much.
You’re not behind.
You’re you — and that is exactly what the world needs.
ROOTING FOR YOU,
Stef
You Can’t Lead Others Until You Know Yourself!
Hey friends — welcome back.
Today, we’re getting into something I believe every team, every business, and every leader needs to hear:
You can’t lead others if you’re abandoning yourself.
And in so many traditional leadership models — that’s exactly what’s been happening.
We’re told to follow the system. Duplicate the process. Stick to the structure.
But what happens when that system doesn’t work for you?
What if the very way you were taught to lead — is the reason you're exhausted?
That’s what Human Design reveals.
And that’s why we’re talking about it today.
🔥 PART 1: THE LIE OF ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL LEADERSHIP
If you’ve ever felt like you should be more consistent, more productive, more confident…
If you’ve ever wondered why the strategies that work for others seem to drain the life out of you…
Let me offer you this truth:
You’re not broken. You’re just not leading from your actual design.
The leadership world has sold us the idea that there’s one way to show up — and if you’re not keeping up, the problem is you.
But in Human Design, we learn that leadership looks radically different based on your energy type, your authority, your centers — even your environment.
Here’s a truth most leadership spaces ignore:
We are not all built to operate the same. And when we try to — we burn out.
🧠 PART 2: WHAT SELF-LEADERSHIP ACTUALLY MEANS
Self-leadership isn’t about being perfect.
It’s not about always showing up, pushing harder, doing more.
It’s about knowing your energy — and honoring it.
In Human Design, your energy type tells you how you move through the world.
Your strategy tells you how to make aligned moves.
Your authority tells you what your decision-making voice actually is.
And your centers? They show where you’re leaking energy — and where you hold wisdom.
Here’s why that matters in a team environment:
If you’re leading people — whether in corporate, in a coaching container, or in network marketing — and you’re trying to lead them all the same… you’re going to lose them.
Not because they don’t care — but because they’re not you.
⚙️ PART 3: EXAMPLES OF ENERGETIC MISMATCH IN LEADERSHIP
Let me paint a picture:
You’re a Manifesting Generator. Fast-moving. Multi-tasking. Energetically expansive.
But you’re trying to lead a Projector on your team like they should hustle the same way you do.
That Projector is brilliant — but their wisdom comes from guiding, not grinding.
Or you’re a Manifestor — built to initiate. But you’ve been told to “wait to respond” and check in with everyone before making moves.
So you’re shrinking your power instead of starting movements.
Or maybe your Heart Center is open. So you constantly overpromise, overcommit, and try to prove your worth — instead of trusting that rest and boundaries are actually leadership, too.
💡 PART 4: WHY THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
When you start leading from your design, you:
Conserve energy instead of bleeding it out
Make clearer decisions instead of second-guessing
Attract the right people instead of chasing everyone
Lead from truth instead of performance
This is why I say — self-leadership is your real system.
Before you lead others, you have to come home to your own energy.
Otherwise, your leadership is a performance — not a transmission.
Whether you’re running a team, coaching clients, mentoring in network marketing, or leading your family…
Human Design gives you the tools to lead better — because you understand yourself first.
I always say this:
You can’t duplicate energy. You can only align with your own.
And when you do? That’s when it clicks. That’s when it flows. That’s when leadership becomes easeful — because it’s true.

Your Parenting Struggles Aren’t Random - They are Energetic Mismatches.
HUMAN DESIGN & PARENTING
Hey friends — this one’s for the parents.
The ones who love their kids deeply… and still sometimes feel like,
“Why is this so hard?”
Maybe your child is wildly sensitive.
Maybe they explode and you have no idea why.
Maybe they’re the complete opposite of you — and you feel like you’re failing because nothing you’ve tried is “working.”
What if I told you… your child isn’t broken?
And neither are you.
They’re not difficult — they’re just designed differently.
And when you start parenting them through the lens of Human Design, it all starts to make sense.
👶 PART 1: WHY HUMAN DESIGN IN PARENTING MATTERS
We are not raising blank slates.
Your child came in with their own energetic blueprint — and when we try to raise them from our conditioning instead of their design, we both suffer.
Most parenting advice says:
Be consistent
Be firm
Follow a system
But what if your child’s system isn’t the same as yours?
What if their energy needs, their decision-making, their emotional process is completely different from yours?
That’s where the magic of Human Design comes in.
🔍PART 2 What “Designed Differently” Really Looks Like — in Real Life
Let’s get real.
Human Design isn’t some abstract concept when it comes to your kids — it’s literally the reason they do the things that confuse or frustrate you.
Let me show you how this plays out, depending on your child’s energy type — and what you can actually do to parent them more effectively.
🔋 GENERATOR & MANIFESTING GENERATOR KIDS
These kids have a motor running — and it’s called their Sacral Center. That means they’re here to move, play, create, respond to life around them. They’re designed to follow what lights them up — and they’ll tell you exactly what doesn’t… through frustration, shutdowns, or meltdowns.
🙋♀️ What this looks like:
They ask 100 questions, bounce from toy to toy, or resist doing things that feel boring or forced.
They lose it when you drag them to errands all day with no breaks.
They suddenly light up with joy when you say, “Do you want to go to the park?” — that’s a sacral yes.
✅ What they need:
Ask them yes/no questions like: “Do you want to wear this or that?” or “Wanna go outside now?”
Let them help you make decisions by responding — not by sitting quietly and listening to a lecture.
Give them freedom to follow what excites them — they’re not lazy, they’re just not built to push through things that feel flat.
🚫 What doesn’t work:
Constantly telling them to “just sit still” or “just get it done”
Forcing them to say yes to everything without checking in with their energy
🧠 PROJECTOR KIDS
These kids are here to guide, not grind. They don’t have that same sacral motor, which means they literally don’t have the energy to go-go-go all day like Generator types. They’re incredibly perceptive, and they shine when they feel seen and invited.
🙋♀️ What this looks like:
They often say things that are wise beyond their years
They melt down or shut down after too much stimulation
They get frustrated if you don’t listen to their advice or insights — even if they’re “just a kid”
✅ What they need:
Rest. Like, a lot more than you think.
Pockets of alone time to reset.
To be invited into conversations or decisions. Try saying, “I’d love to hear your thoughts — what do you see?”
🚫 What doesn’t work:
Comparing them to more energetic siblings
Expecting them to follow every rule without question — they’re here to guide, not just obey
🔥 MANIFESTOR KIDS
These kids are trailblazers. They’re not here to wait for permission — they’re here to initiate. That means they’ll often just do the thing — and get punished for it later. They’re also deeply protective of their freedom and can shut down if they feel controlled.
🙋♀️ What this looks like:
They act first and explain later (“I already built it!” “I already made the plan!”)
They get angry when you tell them what to do without informing them why
They hate being interrupted or micromanaged
✅ What they need:
A heads-up. Manifestors feel safest when they’re informed, not bossed around.
Freedom to create and initiate — even if it’s messy.
Clear boundaries that honor their independence while keeping structure.
Try saying: “Hey, here’s what we’re doing today so you’re in the loop” or “You’re free to do that, I just need to know first, so I can support you.”
🚫 What doesn’t work:
Constant correcting or controlling
Surprising them with new rules or last-minute changes
🌕 REFLECTOR KIDS
These are the most energetically sensitive children — they’re literally reflecting the environment and people around them. That means who and what they’re around matters a lot. Their energy shifts day by day, and they need time to process things slowly.
🙋♀️ What this looks like:
One day they’re outgoing, the next day withdrawn — and both are true
They get emotionally overwhelmed in chaotic spaces
They absorb moods, stress, and even health patterns from others
✅ What they need:
A calm, supportive environment — not constant stimulation
Time to make decisions — they’re not built for fast yes/no
Permission to feel their emotions and change their mind
Try saying: “Take your time. You don’t need to decide right now” or “How does that space feel to you?”
🚫 What doesn’t work:
Forcing them into rigid routines
Expecting them to be consistent like other kids — they are supposed to flow
🎯 THE TAKEAWAY
Every child is different — not because they’re difficult, but because they’re designed differently.
When you understand their design:
You stop blaming yourself
You stop judging them
And you start creating more peace, more connection, and way fewer battles
Human Design doesn’t give you a script.
It gives you a deeper understanding of your child — and that changes everything.
Would you like me to expand the other sections of the episode to match this tone and depth? Or turn this into a freebie lead magnet PDF for parents in your world?
🧠 PART 3: WHERE PARENTS GET STUCK (AND HOW HD HELPS)
We usually parent from three places:
How we were raised
How we wish we were raised
What we read in a book or saw on TikTok
Human Design invites you into something radically different:
Parent your actual child — not your fear, and not your projections.
That starts with:
Understanding their energy
Respecting their decision-making process
Honoring your own design, too — so you’re not leading from burnout
So if your child needs space and you need answers — you’re not wrong. You just need a map.
💡 PART 4: THE DEEP TRUTH ABOUT PARENTING & DESIGN
Here’s what I want every parent to know:
You don’t need to control your child.
You need to understand them.
You are not here to mold them — you’re here to guide and witness them.
And that means releasing the belief that your child should be like you… or that their differences mean something’s wrong.
Human Design doesn’t fix your child.
It frees them.
And it frees you, too.
If you’ve ever said:
“I don’t know what else to try”
“They don’t listen to me”
“They’re not like any other kid I know”
…then this is your sign to look at their chart.
To look at your chart.
To stop trying to force what’s not aligned, and start learning what actually is.
If this spoke to you, send me the word “PARENT” — and I’ll help you find your family’s design starting point.
Because parenting doesn’t have to be perfect.
It just has to be aligned.
XOXOX,
Stef
The Roles You Took On That Were Never Yours
The Roles You Took On That Were Never Yours
Welcome back to Before the World Told You Who to Be — the podcast for those of us who are done trying to fit into roles we never signed up for and are ready to remember who we actually are.
I’m Stefanie, Human Design guide, coach, and woman who has lived this path of unlearning, unbecoming, and returning to my true self. And today we are talking about something that touches every single one of us...
The roles we took OR the way we use those roles in a way that was never actually US.
SECTION 1: What Roles Are You Performing?
Let me ask you this:
Are you the one who keeps everything running?
The emotional glue in your family?
The one who never says no?
The achiever, the fixer, the strong one?
We’re handed these roles from such a young age — not through a contract, but through patterns, praise, and pressure.
And after a while, they start to feel like identity. But they’re not. They’re performance. Survival. Conditioned habits. And they keep us from actually meeting ourselves.
SECTION 2: My Story — When the Mask Cracked
I used to believe I had to do it all. The business, the motherhood, the marriage, the showing up for everyone, the proving.
But one day, I woke up and realized I couldn’t feel myself in any of it.
It was after I lost my dad and my business in the same month. Two huge identity anchors. And without them?
I didn’t know who I was. Because I had built myself around the roles I thought I had to play.
That breaking was also my beginning.
SECTION 3: How Human Design Helped Me See the Real Me
When I found Human Design, it was like holding a mirror up to my soul.
I learned that my energy type, my profile, my decision-making authority — they weren’t wrong. They were just never supported.
HD didn’t tell me who to be. It helped me let go of who I wasn’t.
When I saw my chart for the first time, I cried. Because for the first time in a long time, I felt seen.
And now, I help others do the same.
SECTION 4: The Invitation
So I want to ask you today:
What roles are you still performing?
What identities are you still holding because you think they keep you safe?
What parts of you have gone quiet just to keep the peace?
I want to offer this reframe:
Your Human Design doesn’t tell you what to do. It reflects who you are here to be.
And you don’t need to earn that. It’s already who you are.
CLOSING:
Thank you for being here. This work isn’t easy — but it is sacred.
If today’s episode resonated, come tell me what role you’re ready to release. Post it in the Facebook group or DM me privately. I would love to hold space for it.
You don’t have to keep performing. You don’t have to keep pretending. You get to return.
I’ll see you next time.
xo,
Stefanie
What if you were never broken - Just Misdirected??
What if you were never broken, just misaligned
| Welcome to Before the World Told You Who to Be
A New Era, A New Name
Welcome back. I’m so glad you’re here. I have some exciting news — this podcast has a new name and an even deeper mission.
What was once Business Beyond Strategy is now Before the World Told You Who to Be.
Why? Because I’ve evolved. My clients have evolved. And I’m no longer here just to help women build epic businesses. I’m here to help you come home to yourself. In every part of your life.
Human Design has been a life-changing tool in my journey, and it’s become the key I use to support women like you in parenting, relationships, business, marriage, and most importantly — your connection to yourself.
You’re Not Broken. You’ve Just Been Living Someone Else’s Blueprint.
So many of us are burned out, overwhelmed, anxious, or frustrated — not because we’re doing life wrong, but because we’re living a life we were never designed for.
We’re operating by societal standards. Performing roles we never chose. Checking boxes that were never ours.
This podcast is for the woman who is ready to remember who she really is. To unlearn the patterns of performing, perfecting, and proving. To stop chasing every version of herself that never truly fit.
This Isn’t Strategy. This Is Self-Returning.
You won’t find fluff here.
This isn’t about "just trust the process" pep talks.
This is about real-life alignment. The messy kind.
We’re going to go deep — into identity, into Human Design, into the structures and stories that have shaped us.
If you’ve ever thought, "There has to be more than this," then you’re in the right place.
My Story: From Misalignment to Mission
After I lost my father and my business of 10 years all in the same month, something shifted.
I woke up and realized I didn’t even recognize myself.
I had followed every external blueprint. Built the business I was told to build. Played all the roles I was praised for.
And I was done.
I didn’t want to be her anymore.
That unraveling led me to Human Design — the first tool that truly mirrored back who I am. Not who I thought I had to be. Not who I was trained to be. But who I was designed to be.
Why Human Design Is Different
You may have done the Enneagram, StrengthsFinder, or other personality tools — they’re helpful, yes.
But most are based on how you answer questions — from a conditioned mind, shaped by trauma, upbringing, and social expectation.
Human Design is different. It’s not based on who you think you are. It’s mapped from birth. It’s written in the stars. It reflects your energetic blueprint.
And every single client I’ve walked through their chart? They cry. They exhale. They finally feel seen.
Including me.
This Is a New Era: The Era of Self-Return
We are entering a time where the deepest transformation doesn’t come from external strategy — it comes from remembering.
Your design holds the key to:
How you’re meant to make decisions
What environments support your growth
Your energy flow, communication, and core purpose
How you relate to your kids, your partner, your work, and yourself
You Are Not Behind. You Are Not Failing.
You are not broken. You are simply buried.
And this podcast? It’s here to help you unearth what’s always been there.
We’ll talk motherhood, marriage, business, environment, identity. All of it. Because alignment isn’t one category of life. It touches everything.

Discovering My Soul-Led Path with Human Design
Uncovering My soul-aligned path with the help of my Human Design Reading
Episode: The Alignment: Discovering My Soul-Led Business Path
Welcome back to Business Beyond Strategy. I'm Stefanie, and this is the fifth episode in my journey from hustle culture to aligned success.
So far, I've shared how I built a business following everyone else's rules, watched it crumble, awakened to hustle culture's hold, and began the unlearning process. Today, we're exploring what emerged in that newly created space - my soul-led business path.
SEGMENT 1: The Empty Canvas
After unlearning so many conditioned beliefs about business, I found myself in an unfamiliar place - a space of possibility.
It was both liberating and terrifying. Without the rigid frameworks and blueprints I'd relied on, I faced questions like:
How do I know what to create next?
How do I make decisions without strategies?
How do I know if I'm on the right path?
What does success even look like now?
I had cleared away what wasn't mine, but I wasn't yet sure what was.
SEGMENT 2: The First Steps into Alignment
My journey into alignment didn't start with big, bold moves. It began with small, quiet practices:
Practice #1: Energy check-ins I started each day by tuning into my energy. Not forcing a particular state, but simply noticing what was present and honoring it.
Practice #2: Listening to body wisdom Before making decisions, I paused to feel them in my body. Did they create expansion or contraction? Lightness or heaviness?
Practice #3: Following curiosity Instead of strategic planning, I began following what genuinely sparked my interest. This felt almost rebellious after years of calculated moves.
Practice #4: Sacred business space I created physical and energetic containers for my work that felt aligned with my natural rhythm, not someone else's productivity hacks.
These practices seemed simple, almost too simple. But they became the foundation for everything that followed.
SEGMENT 3: The Resistance (Again)
I'd love to tell you that the path to alignment was smooth, but the truth is - resistance showed up in new forms.
As I began building from alignment rather than strategy, I encountered:
The doubt spiral: "Is this just making things up as I go? Shouldn't I have a clearer plan? What if this is just self-indulgence?"
The comparison trap: "Everyone else seems to know exactly what they're doing. Look at their strategic launches and clear messaging. Maybe I should just..."
The urgency pull: "I need to figure this out faster. I need to make money now. I don't have time for this alignment exploration."
Each form of resistance was really just my conditioning trying to pull me back to the familiar, even though the familiar hadn't worked.
SEGMENT 4: The Alignment Indicators
Gradually, I began to recognize what alignment actually felt like in my business:
Indicator #1: Flow state When I was in alignment, time seemed to disappear. Work didn't feel like work. Ideas came naturally.
Indicator #2: Energetic expansion Aligned activities left me feeling energized rather than depleted, even when they required significant effort.
Indicator #3: Synchronicities The right resources, connections, and opportunities began appearing at just the right time.
Indicator #4: Client resonance The clients who found me seemed to arrive exactly when I had something they needed, and they responded to my authentic voice.
Indicator #5: Intuitive knowing I began experiencing clear inner guidance about next steps, often in unexpected moments of quiet.
These indicators became my new navigation system - more reliable than any strategy I'd followed before.
SEGMENT 5: The Emerging Business Vision
As I continued following alignment, something remarkable began to take shape - a business vision that actually felt like mine.
This vision was different from my previous business in fundamental ways:
It was built around my natural energy rhythms, not forced productivity
It valued depth of impact over breadth of reach
It prioritized alignment in every decision, from pricing to partnerships
It allowed for evolution and organic growth
It measured success by how it felt, not just by external metrics
The most surprising part? This aligned approach didn't mean sacrificing success. In fact, it created results more sustainable than anything I'd built through hustle.
SEGMENT 6: The Permission to Trust
Perhaps the most significant shift was giving myself permission to trust:
Trust my intuition over expert advice
Trust my body wisdom over strategic formulas
Trust my natural rhythm over arbitrary timelines
Trust that alignment would lead to abundance
This trust didn't come easily. It was a daily choice, especially when fear or conditioning would resurface.
But each time I chose alignment over strategy, the evidence built: This path not only felt better - it worked better.
CLOSING
The journey into alignment isn't a destination - it's an ongoing exploration. There are still days when I slip back into old patterns or question this path.
The difference is that now I have tools to recognize when I'm out of alignment and practices to find my way back.
In our final episode, I'll share how I've rebuilt my business through alignment, the surprising results of this approach, and what success looks like when it's created on your terms.
If you're in that empty canvas stage, feeling both liberated and uncertain after releasing what isn't yours, know this: Your aligned path is already within you. Your job isn't to create it - it's to uncover it.
Until next time, this is Stefanie with Business Beyond Strategy, where we're discovering that the most powerful business model is the one that's aligned with your soul.
The Unlearning : Breaking Free From The Success Conditioning
The Unlearning! Breaking Free From Success Conditioning
Welcome back to Business Beyond Strategy. I'm Stefanie , and this is the fourth episode in my journey from hustle culture to aligned success.
So far, I've shared how I built a business following everyone else's rules, watched it crumble, and awakened to hustle culture's hold on me. Today, we're diving into the most challenging part of the journey - the active unlearning process.
SEGMENT 1: The Invisible Prison
After recognizing hustle culture's influence, I faced an uncomfortable truth: my mind had been conditioned in ways I couldn't even see.
My definition of success wasn't actually mine. It had been installed through:
Business gurus I followed religiously
Social media algorithms showing constant "success" stories
Industry norms I never questioned
Family patterns around work and worth
Cultural messages about productivity and value
This conditioning wasn't just affecting my business strategies. It had shaped my entire relationship with success, worth, and identity.
SEGMENT 2: The Beliefs I Had to Confront
The unlearning process began with identifying the specific beliefs that were driving my decisions:
Belief #1: "My worth is tied to my productivity." I had internalized the idea that my value as a person was directly connected to how much I accomplished. Rest wasn't just difficult - it triggered actual guilt and anxiety.
Belief #2: "If it's not hard, it's not valuable." I had been programmed to believe that anything that came easily wasn't worth offering. I was actively making things more complicated because I thought that's what made them valuable.
Belief #3: "More is always better." More clients, more revenue, more followers, more offerings. I had never questioned whether expansion was always the right direction.
Belief #4: "Success looks a certain way." I had a rigid image of what "making it" looked like, and it wasn't actually based on what I wanted - it was based on what I thought would gain approval.
Belief #5: "Other people know better than I do." Perhaps the most damaging belief was that experts, gurus, and mentors always knew better than my own intuition.
SEGMENT 3: The Unlearning Process
Identifying these beliefs was just the beginning. Unlearning them was the real work.
Here's what this looked like in practice:
Step 1: Awareness through contrast I began to notice when a decision or action felt heavy versus light. This contrast became my first clue about alignment.
Step 2: Pattern interruption When I caught myself falling into old patterns, I created a pause. Sometimes literally saying "stop" out loud to break the pattern.
Step 3: Belief questioning For each conditioned belief, I asked:
Where did this come from?
Is this actually true for me?
What evidence do I have that contradicts this?
What would I believe if no one had taught me what to think?
Step 4: Embodied experiments I began testing new ways of working and making decisions:
Working when I felt naturally energized
Pricing based on energy exchange, not market rates
Creating offers that felt aligned, not "strategic"
Making decisions from body wisdom, not pro/con lists
SEGMENT 4: The Hardest Habits to Break
Some patterns were especially challenging to release:
The validation addiction: I had become accustomed to external validation. Making decisions without seeking approval felt terrifying at first.
The scarcity response: When opportunities arose, my conditioned response was to grab them, whether they felt aligned or not. Learning to pause and check alignment was uncomfortable.
The complexity habit: I had been trained to believe that value comes from complexity. Creating simple, aligned solutions triggered impostor syndrome.
The certainty seeking: I wanted guarantees before moving forward. Learning to trust the unfolding process without certainty was a daily practice.
SEGMENT 5: Finding My Authentic Voice
As I unlearned these conditioned patterns, something unexpected emerged - my authentic voice.
I started to recognize the difference between:
My conditioned business voice (strategic, certain, authoritative)
My authentic business voice (intuitive, curious, flowing)
I began to notice when I was speaking or writing from conditioning versus authenticity. The difference was palpable - not just to me, but to those I was connecting with.
My authentic voice:
Used different language
Had different rhythms
Attracted different responses
Created connection, not just conversion
This voice had been there all along, just buried under layers of "should" and strategic positioning.
CLOSING
The unlearning process wasn't a one-time event. It continues to be a daily practice of noticing when I slip into conditioning and gently returning to alignment.
But with each layer I release, business becomes more natural, more energizing, and more authentically mine.
In our next episode, I'll share how this unlearning created space for true alignment - and how I began discovering my soul-led business path.
If you're feeling the weight of success conditioning in your own business, know that unlearning is possible. It happens one belief, one pattern, one decision at a time.
Until next time, this is Stefanie with Business Beyond Strategy, where we're discovering that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is unlearn what you thought was true.
Designed to Succeeed In Business With Human Design
The Human Design Secret to Breaking Through Business Plateaus
Opening:
Hey there, welcome back to the podcast! I'm so excited you're here today because we're diving into something that has completely transformed my business and the businesses of so many of my clients.
Have you ever noticed how some entrepreneurs seem to attract clients effortlessly while you're working twice as hard with half the results? Or how certain business owners can post something seemingly simple and get an incredible response, while your carefully crafted content barely gets a like?
What if I told you it's not about working harder or even smarter—but about working in alignment with your energetic blueprint?
Today, I'm revealing why your Human Design holds the key to breaking through your business plateau and why following generic business advice might be the very thing keeping you stuck.
If you've been trying all the 'proven' strategies, creating content consistently, showing up on all the platforms, and still feeling invisible to your dream clients, this episode is specifically for you.
Section 1: The Misalignment Epidemic
Let me ask you something: Have you ever purchased a course or program that promised amazing results, followed it to the letter, and still didn't see the transformation you were hoping for?
You're not alone. I call this the misalignment epidemic, and it's rampant in the business world.
I remember working with a client named Jessica. She had invested in three different high-ticket programs, each time convinced that THIS would be the solution that finally helped her break through. She followed every step, created the content, built the funnels, showed up on social media—everything the experts told her to do.
And yet, crickets. Very few clients, minimal engagement, and a growing sense that maybe she just wasn't cut out for business.
Another client, Michael, was constantly told to 'be more visible' and 'post every day.' He forced himself to create daily content, even though it left him feeling completely drained. Despite his consistency, his audience barely grew, and he started to resent his business.
Here's what's really happening: These entrepreneurs aren't failing because they lack discipline or skills. They're struggling because they're following strategies designed for completely different energy types.
It's like trying to force a square peg into a round hole and then blaming the peg when it doesn't fit.
The truth is, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to business success. What works brilliantly for one person might be energetically depleting for another. And when you're constantly operating against your natural energy, you're not just making business harder—you're making it nearly impossible to succeed in a way that feels good.
This is where Human Design comes in as the missing piece of the puzzle.
Section 2: The Human Design Advantage
Human Design is essentially your energetic blueprint—a map that shows how you're naturally designed to make decisions, interact with others, and create success in the world.
When I first discovered Human Design, I was skeptical. But as I began to understand my own design and implement aligned strategies in my business, everything changed. Suddenly, marketing didn't feel like pulling teeth. Client attraction became more effortless. And most importantly, I stopped feeling like I was constantly swimming upstream.
Let me share a few brief examples of how this has transformed businesses:
Sidney was a 3/5 profile in Human Design, which means she's designed to learn through experimentation—through trial and error. But she was following rigid formulas and beating herself up when they didn't work. Once she understood her design, she embraced her natural experimental approach, started sharing her journey including the ups and downs, and her audience connection exploded. Her content went from crickets to conversations, and she filled her program within weeks.
Then there's David, who has a completely different design. He's a Projector type, which means he's energetically designed to be invited and recognized, not to chase or initiate. He was exhausting himself with aggressive outreach strategies because that's what the business gurus told him to do. When he shifted to creating deep, insightful content that showcased his wisdom and waited for the right invitations, everything changed. He now has a waitlist of clients who specifically seek out his unique perspective.
And finally, there's my own story. For years, I tried to follow the conventional wisdom about growing a business. I created elaborate funnels, posted on a rigid schedule, and followed launch formulas down to the letter. The result? Burnout, frustration, and mediocre results at best.
It wasn't until I discovered my Human Design that I realized why. As a 3/5 Innovative Leader, I'm designed to learn through experience, to try things and see what works. I'm naturally built to provide practical solutions based on my own trial and error. But I was trying to skip that experimental phase by following someone else's proven system.
When I finally embraced my design and built my business around it, everything shifted. My content resonated more deeply, my offers filled more easily, and most importantly—I stopped feeling like there was something wrong with me because I couldn't make those other strategies work.
Section 3: The Three Business Energy Types
Now, Human Design is wonderfully complex and nuanced, but for today's episode, I want to simplify it into three primary business energy types so you can start to recognize where you might fit.
The first is what I call the Action-Driven Entrepreneur. If this is you, you're designed to initiate, to make things happen, and to learn through doing. The frustration you experience when misaligned is feeling like you're constantly hitting walls or not seeing results despite your efforts.
When you're aligned with this energy type, you naturally attract clients through your momentum and your willingness to share both successes and failures. Your authentic journey becomes magnetic to others who want similar results.
One strategy that works particularly well for this type is documenting your process rather than just sharing polished results. Your audience is drawn to your willingness to take action and figure things out along the way.
The second type is the Waiting-for-Recognition Entrepreneur. If this is you, you're designed to be seen, recognized, and invited rather than pushing or initiating. Your frustration when misaligned comes from feeling exhausted by constant outreach or feeling invisible despite your expertise.
When you're aligned, you attract clients through your depth of insight and your ability to see what others miss. People come to you for your wisdom and your unique perspective.
A strategy that works well for this type is creating content that demonstrates your insight rather than directly selling your services. Focus on being recognized for your expertise, and the invitations will follow naturally.
The third type is the Responsive Entrepreneur. If this is you, you're designed to respond to what's happening around you rather than forcing initiatives or waiting for recognition. Your frustration when misaligned is feeling either too passive or too forceful in your business approach.
When you're aligned, you attract clients through your authentic responses to real needs and opportunities in your market. Your timing and responsiveness become your superpower.
A strategy that works for this type is creating responsive content based on what you're seeing in your audience or market rather than following a rigid content plan. Your ability to meet people where they are becomes your greatest client attraction tool.
As you're listening, you might be starting to recognize yourself in one of these types. And that recognition alone can be incredibly freeing—to understand that there's nothing wrong with you or your business approach. You've simply been trying to operate in a way that's not aligned with your natural energy.
Section 4: The Alignment Breakthrough
Let me share more specifically about my own alignment breakthrough, because it illustrates exactly how transformative this understanding can be.
Before discovering Human Design, I was constantly comparing myself to other business owners. I'd see someone post daily content and get amazing engagement, while my carefully planned weekly posts barely got noticed. I'd watch others launch with seemingly minimal effort and fill their programs, while I'd pour my heart and soul into a launch only to hear crickets.
I tried everything—hiring coaches, taking courses, joining masterminds. And while I'd get temporary results, nothing seemed to stick. I was exhausted, frustrated, and seriously considering whether I was cut out for entrepreneurship at all.
Then I discovered Human Design, and specifically my 3/5 Innovative Leader profile. I learned that I'm literally designed to learn through trial and error, to experiment and discover what works through direct experience. I'm built to be a practical problem-solver who provides solutions based on what I've personally tested and refined.
This was a complete game-changer. Instead of forcing myself to follow someone else's blueprint, I embraced my experimental nature. I started sharing my process, including the ups and downs. I became transparent about what I was learning along the way.
And something amazing happened. My audience grew. My content started resonating deeply. People began reaching out to work with me specifically because of my unique approach. I went from struggling to fill a program to having a waitlist.
But the most profound change was internal. I no longer felt like there was something wrong with me because I couldn't make those other strategies work. I understood that I was simply designed differently, and that my design was actually perfect for the type of business I wanted to build.
This is the transformation I now help my clients achieve—that alignment between who they naturally are and how they operate their business. And the results are consistently remarkable.
Call to Action:
If you're resonating with what I've shared today, you might be wondering how your specific Human Design is affecting your business results. What aspects of your natural energy have you been fighting against? What strengths have you been overlooking?
That's why I've created the Aligned Business Blueprint call, where we'll uncover exactly why you've been stuck despite your best efforts and identify the specific shifts needed to transform your results.
Realizing Hustle Culture’s Hold On Me
Today, I'm taking you into what came next - the awakening that changed everything.
Episode: The Awakening: Recognizing Hustle Culture's Hold On Me
Welcome back to Business Beyond Strategy. I'm Stefanie, and this is the third episode in my journey from hustle culture to aligned success.
In our first two episodes, I shared how I built a business following everyone else's rules, and then watched it crumble. Today, I'm taking you into what came next - the awakening that changed everything.
SEGMENT 1: The Aftermath
After my business collapsed, I went through a period of 2-3 months where I was simply processing what had happened.
I was exhausted - not just physically, but soul-tired. The kind of exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix.
At first, I tried to make sense of it all through the same lens I'd always used:
Maybe I hadn't implemented the strategies correctly
Maybe I needed a different business model
Maybe I just hadn't found the right mentor or program
I was still looking outward for answers, because that's all I knew how to do.
SEGMENT 2: The Pattern Recognition
Then came a moment I'll never forget.
I woke up one day after I lost my dad and realized I’m not who I want to be. I’m living for external validation and trying to fit in when I was born to stand out.
Suddenly, I could see the pattern I'd been caught in:
Feeling inadequate or stuck
Looking outside myself for solutions
Following someone else's blueprint
Initial excitement and results
Eventual burnout and disconnect
Rinse and repeat
I realized I had been caught in hustle culture's web without even knowing it. I had unconsciously bought into beliefs like:
Success requires sacrifice and struggle
More is always better
If it feels hard, you're doing it right
Rest is a reward, not a necessity
Your worth is tied to your productivity
SEGMENT 3: The Body Wisdom
What's fascinating is that my body had been trying to tell me this all along.
I started to recognize how hustle culture had affected me physically:
The tension I carried in my back. constant back pain, even though I went to doctors and chiropractors
The sleep problems that became normal. i relied on melatonin every night to fall asleep
The way my energy would crash at certain points
The anxiety that became my constant companion
My body had been sending signals, but I had been trained to override them, to push through, to hustle harder.
In the stillness that followed my business collapse, I finally started listening to these signals instead of silencing them.
SEGMENT 4: The Question That Changed Everything
In this period of reflection, I asked myself a question I had never dared to ask before:
"What if success could feel good?"
It sounds so simple, but it was revolutionary for me. I had been conditioned to believe that:
Success requires sacrifice
Growth must be painful
Discomfort is always the path to expansion
But what if that wasn't true? What if success could feel aligned, energizing, and natural?
This question cracked open everything I thought I knew about business.
SEGMENT 5: The First Steps Toward Alignment
Once I recognized hustle culture's hold on me, I began to make different choices:
I started with small acts of reclamation:
Allowing myself to work when I felt naturally energized, not when the "productivity experts" said I should
Giving myself permission to rest without guilt
Checking in with my body before making business decisions
Questioning business advice instead of automatically accepting it
Noticing what actually felt good, not just what looked good
None of this was easy. Years of conditioning don't disappear overnight. But each small choice to honor my inner wisdom over external rules felt like coming home to myself.
SEGMENT 6: The Resistance
I'd be lying if I said there wasn't resistance.
When you've built your entire identity around hustle culture, choosing alignment can feel terrifying:
What if I fall behind?
What if I'm not doing enough?
What if everyone else succeeds while I prioritize alignment?
What if this is just an excuse for being lazy?
These fears were loud. Sometimes deafening.
But underneath them, there was something else emerging - a quiet knowing that there was another way. A way that honored my energy, my wisdom, and my unique path.
CLOSING
The awakening wasn't a single moment, but a series of small recognitions that eventually changed everything.
Recognizing hustle culture's hold was just the beginning. In our next episode, I'll share the active unlearning process - how I began to break free from success conditioning and reclaim my authentic voice.
If you're feeling the weight of hustle culture in your own business, I invite you to ask yourself that same powerful question: "What if success could feel good?"
Your awakening might be closer than you think.
Until next time, this is Stefanie with Business Beyond Strategy, where we're discovering that true success comes not from hustle, but from alignment.
The Fall : When my business crumbled overnight
The business I had built so carefully, following all the 'right' strategies, was crumbling before my eyes. This wasn't just a bad month or a temporary setback - this was a fundamental collapse.
The hardest part wasn't losing the business itself. It was losing my identity. For years, I had defined myself by this version of success. My worth was tied to my achievements, my client list, my revenue. And suddenly, all of that was gone.
Episode: The Fall: When My Business Empire Crumbled Overnight
Welcome back to Business Beyond Strategy. I'm Stefanie, and this is the second episode in my series about my journey from hustle culture to aligned success.
Last time, I shared how I built a seemingly successful business by following everyone else's rules. Today, I'm going to share something much harder - what happened when it all came crashing down.
SEGMENT 1: The Breaking Point
It didn't happen overnight, even though it felt that way. Looking back, the foundation had been cracking for months.
I had began to feel stressed, anxious, and like if I stopped hustling, it would all fall apart
For me, it started with watching so many others quit. At first, I did what I had always done - I looked for a strategy to fix it. I doubled down on what had worked before. I pushed harder. I hustled more.
But this time, something was different. The formulas weren't working anymore.
SEGMENT 2: The Collapse
Then came the moment that changed everything.
I was sitting with my dad as he was dying and my income was completely gone and i realized that life is too short to do things that do not bring us pure joy and fulfillment. Too short to chase external validation.
Within months, I watched as:
income slowly disappeared
clients and teammates left
I began to resent my business
The business I had built so carefully, following all the "right" strategies, was crumbling before my eyes.
And the worst part? I had no idea why. I had followed the blueprint. I had done everything "right." So how could this be happening?
SEGMENT 3: The Identity Crisis
The hardest part wasn't losing the business itself. It was losing my identity.
For years, I had defined myself by this version of success. I was the person who had "made it" by following the formulas. My worth was tied to my achievements, my client list, my revenue.
And suddenly, all of that was gone.
I found myself asking questions I had never allowed myself to ask:
Who am I without this business?
Was any of it ever really mine to begin with?
If the strategies work for everyone, why did they stop working for me?
What if everything I believed about success was wrong?
This wasn't just a business crisis. It was an existential one.
SEGMENT 4: The Hidden Gift
It took me [timeframe] to recognize it, but the collapse of my business was actually the best thing that could have happened to me.
Because in that painful space, I finally had to confront the truth:
I had built a business that wasn't truly mine.
I had been:
Creating from someone else's vision
Working against my natural energy
Ignoring my intuition
Chasing external validation
The collapse forced me to stop running on the hamster wheel long enough to ask: "Is this even the direction I want to be going?"
And in that question was the beginning of my real journey.
[TRANSITION SOUND]
SEGMENT 5: The First Glimpse of Light
In the midst of this dark period, something unexpected began to happen.
For the first time in years, I had space. Space to breathe. Space to feel. Space to listen to the voice that had been trying to guide me all along.
I started to notice subtle shifts:
Ideas coming to me in moments of stillness, not striving
A gentle pull toward certain actions that didn't "make sense" strategically
Physical sensations when I considered different paths forward
A growing discomfort with the business advice I used to follow religiously
I didn't have a name for it yet, but I was experiencing my first taste of alignment.
CLOSING
The collapse of my business wasn't the end of my story. It was the beginning of a much more authentic one.
In our next episode, I'll share the awakening that followed - how I began to recognize hustle culture's hold on me and took my first steps toward a different way of creating success.
If you're in a place where things are falling apart, I want you to know that sometimes things need to break down before they can be rebuilt in alignment. Sometimes the collapse is actually the universe's way of creating space for what's truly yours.
Until next time, this is Stefanie with Business Beyond Strategy, where we're discovering that sometimes losing everything is the path to finding yourself.
The Unlearning : Rebuilding My Business On My Own Terms
The Business Unlearning: When Following All the Rules Didn't Work in the End"
I've been keeping this close to my heart, but it's finally time to share my raw, unfiltered journey with you.
Episode: The Rise: How I Built a 6-Figure Business Following Everyone Else's Rules
Welcome to Business Beyond Strategy. I'm [Your Name], and today I'm starting something different - a raw, honest series about my journey from hustle culture to aligned success.
If you've ever followed all the "right" strategies but still felt something was missing... this series is for you.
SEGMENT 1: The Beginning
Let me take you back to where it all started.
When my dad was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimers, I knew I wanted to figure out this online business thing and create a life where I can be with him and help during his decline.
I was determined to build a successful business. I did what we're all told to do - I studied the "experts." I followed their blueprints. I implemented their strategies.
And honestly? It seemed to be working.
Within [timeframe], I had built a 6-figure business. From the outside, I was living the entrepreneur dream. I had the client roster, the income, the social proof.
I was doing all the "right" things:
Waking up at 5am because that's what successful people do
Following the perfect launch formula down to the letter
Creating content on a rigid schedule
Networking in all the right places
Investing in high-ticket programs and masterminds
And I became really good at following these external strategies. So good that I built a business that looked successful by everyone else's standards.
SEGMENT 2: The Success Facade
Here's what my "successful" business looked like on paper:
6 figures in annual revenue
hundreds of clients
Top .01% in my industry
Hit all the ranks, trips, etc.
I had followed the blueprint perfectly. I had done everything right.
But what no one saw was what was happening behind the scenes:
The constant exhaustion
The disconnection from my own intuition
The nagging feeling that something wasn't aligned
The fear that if I stopped hustling, everything would fall apart
I was caught in what I now call the "external validation loop" - constantly looking outside myself for the next strategy, the next tactic, the next blueprint that would keep the success going.
SEGMENT 3: The Warning Signs
Looking back, the warning signs were there all along. I just didn't recognize them.
Sign #1: Success felt heavy, not light. Every achievement came with exhaustion rather than energy. I'd hit a goal and instead of celebration, I'd feel relief... quickly followed by anxiety about the next goal.
Sign #2: My business was built on someone else's rhythm. I was forcing myself into systems and schedules that weren't natural to me.
Sign #3: Decision fatigue was constant. I couldn't trust my own instincts because I was so programmed to look for external validation. Every decision required research, comparison, and overthinking.
Sign #4: My definition of success kept shifting. As soon as I'd reach a milestone, it somehow wasn't enough. The goalposts kept moving because I was measuring success by external standards, not internal alignment.
SEGMENT 4: What I Know Now
What I didn't understand then - but see so clearly now - is that I was building on a foundation that wasn't mine.
I was:
Using someone else's strategy
Following someone else's timeline
Copying someone else's offers
Chasing someone else's definition of success
The business I built looked like success on the outside. But it wasn't sustainable because it wasn't aligned with my energy, my values, or my natural way of working.
This isn't to say those strategies don't work - they clearly did, at least for a while. But they worked at a cost that was higher than I realized.
CLOSING
Next episode, I'll share what happened when this carefully constructed business began to crumble - and the painful but necessary awakening that followed.
If any of this resonates with you - if you've built success but it doesn't feel like yours - I want you to know you're not alone. And there is another way.
Until next time, this is [Your Name] with Business Beyond Strategy, where we're discovering that the path to true success isn't in another strategy - it's in alignment with your soul.
Why your morning routine isn’t working (and what to do instead)
If you've tried countless morning routines only to feel like you're failing, this episode is for you. Discover why traditional productivity advice might be sabotaging your energy and learn a simple 3-minute aligned morning practice that transforms your entire day.
The Morning Routine Trap
If you spend any time learning about business success, you've heard the advice: "Win your morning, win your day." And suddenly it feels like you need to:
Wake up at 5am
Drink lemon water
Journal for 20 minutes
Meditate for 30
Exercise for 45
Read for an hour
And plan your day to perfection
All before opening your inbox.
Here's the truth: If you're trying to force someone else's morning routine, you're actually setting yourself up for failure.
Why Traditional Routines Fail
The problem isn't morning routines themselves. It's that most routines focus on actions without addressing energy.
Let me ask you:
Have you tried multiple morning routines that worked for a while then fizzled out?
Do you feel guilty when you can't stick to your planned routine?
Does your "perfect morning" feel like another thing on your to-do list?
If so, you're not alone. And it's not your fault.
Here's what's really happening: You're trying to apply someone else's energy pattern to your unique system.
It's like trying to run Mac software on a Windows computer. It's not going to work, no matter how determined you are.
Understanding Your Energy Blueprint
Every entrepreneur has a unique energy blueprint. Some of us:
Are naturally night owls but force morning routines
Have creative energy that fluctuates with moon cycles
Need spaciousness rather than structure
Thrive on variety rather than consistency
The key isn't finding the "perfect" routine. It's discovering YOUR aligned morning flow.
The Aligned Morning Method
Let's transform your morning from forced to flowing:
Step 1: Energy First, Actions Second
Before planning what to DO, decide how you want to FEEL
Set your energetic intention for the day
Clear yesterday's energy before creating today's
Step 2: Honor Your Natural Rhythm
Notice when you naturally feel most clear and focused
Build your business day around YOUR energy peaks
Release guilt about not fitting the "5am club" mold
Step 3: Create Your Energy Container
Establish energetic boundaries for your day
Protect your energy from external demands
Set an intention for how you'll show up
Here's a quick practice you can try tomorrow morning:
Before reaching for your phone or jumping into your to-do list, take 3 minutes to:
Place your hands on your heart
Take three deep breaths
Ask yourself: "What energy do I choose to create from today?"
Feel that energy in your body
Set an intention to maintain this energy throughout your day
This simple practice takes just 3 minutes but can transform your entire day's flow.
The Results of Aligned Mornings
When you start your day with energy alignment rather than forced routines:
Decisions become clearer
Creative ideas flow more easily
Client interactions feel more aligned
You accomplish more with less effort
Your entire business feels more in flow
Let me share a quick client story:
Sarah had tried countless morning routines - from elaborate hour-long rituals to quick productivity hacks. Nothing stuck, and she always ended up feeling like she was failing.
When she began using the Aligned Morning Method, everything shifted. Instead of forcing herself to journal for 20 minutes (which she dreaded), she discovered that a 5-minute energy clearing practice followed by a short dance to raise her vibration completely transformed her day.
Within weeks, she noticed not just improved energy, but tangible business results. Her sales calls converted better. Her content creation flowed more easily. And she started attracting clients who energetically aligned with her work.
The difference? She stopped following someone else's prescription and started honoring her own energy blueprint.
CLOSING

Working against yourself?? Identify the hidden blocks in your business
Revealing why you might be sabotaging your own business success without realizing it. Learn how to identify the three core blocks that keep entrepreneurs stuck: trust blocks, worth blocks, and visibility blocks. Discover the powerful Block Release Process
SECTION 1: WHAT ARE BUSINESS BLOCKS?
Let's start by understanding what business blocks really are, because they're often misunderstood.
Business blocks aren't just mindset issues or lack of knowledge. They're energetic patterns that create resistance between you and your goals. Think of them as invisible barriers that stop you from taking aligned action, even when you know what to do.
I recently worked with a client who knew intuitively she needed to raise her prices. She'd done the market research, she knew her worth, but she kept putting it off week after week. It wasn't lack of strategy holding her back - it was a deeper block around her worth.
These blocks show up in three main ways:
First, through procrastination and avoidance. You might notice yourself constantly putting off specific tasks in your business - maybe it's sending that proposal, creating content, or having sales conversations. This isn't just about being busy; it's often a sign of a deeper block.
Second, through knowing but not doing. This is when you have all the knowledge, you've taken the courses, you know what steps to take next, but something stops you from implementing. My client David knew exactly what content he needed to create but found himself reorganizing his desk instead of hitting record.
Third, through self-sabotage. This might look like creating unnecessary complications, experiencing conflict right before success, or somehow undermining your progress just as things start going well.
SECTION 2: THE THREE CORE BLOCKS
Through my work with countless entrepreneurs, I've identified three core blocks that show up most frequently. Understanding which one is holding you back is the first step to breaking through.
The first is Trust Blocks. These show up as:
Constant strategy-hopping
Excessive research before action
Decision paralysis
Looking for external validation
Discounting your intuitive hits
If you find yourself constantly seeking more information before you feel ready to act, this might be your primary block. Trust blocks stem from a disconnection from your intuition and an overreliance on external guidance.
My client was a perfect example. She couldn't make a single business decision without consulting multiple people, researching for hours, and still feeling uncertain. Her business was stuck in analysis paralysis. Once we addressed her trust block, she started making decisions quickly and confidently - and her business finally gained momentum.
The second is Worth Blocks. These manifest as:
Undercharging for your services
Over-delivering beyond scope
Hesitation to launch or promote
Waiting to be "ready enough"
Difficulty receiving praise or payment
If you find yourself struggling with pricing, visibility, or receiving, this is likely your core block. Worth blocks typically stem from tying your value to external achievements or comparing yourself to others in your field.
The third is Visibility Blocks. These appear as:
Perfectionism before sharing
Content procrastination
Hiding your true message
Playing smaller than you know you could
Fear of judgment or criticism
If you've been holding back your voice or playing small, this is probably your primary block. Visibility blocks often stem from past criticism or a fear of outgrowing relationships.
Most entrepreneurs I work with have one primary block that affects multiple areas of their business. Identifying which one is yours is the first step to freedom.

Your Energy As Your Business Oracle
Today we're exploring how your environment shapes your business success. Your space isn't just where you work – it's a powerful manifestation tool.
Episode 4: Your Environment as Your Business Oracle
SEGMENT 1: Space as Energy
Everything in your environment carries a frequency. That cluttered desk? It's blocking abundance. Those inspirational quotes? They're raising your vibration. Your space tells the story of where your business is heading.
SEGMENT 2: Creating Sacred Business Space
Let's transform your workspace into a manifestation portal:
Physical Space:
Clear the clutter (physical blocks = energetic blocks)
Face your desk toward success (feng shui principles)
Create an inspiration corner
Add elements that raise your frequency (crystals, plants, art)
Digital Space:
Clean up your desktop
Organize your files
Clear your inbox
Curate your social media feed
SEGMENT 3: Success Rituals
Your environment supports your rituals. Let's create powerful ones:
Morning Success Ritual:
Sacred space clearing
Intention setting
Energy alignment
Success visualization
Closing Business Day Ritual:
Gratitude practice
Energy clearing
Tomorrow's intention setting
Sacred space reset
SEGMENT 4: Reading Your Environment
Your space speaks. Listen when:
Technology keeps failing (resistance to scaling?)
Plants won't grow (nurturing needed?)
Constant interruptions (boundaries needed?)
Things keep breaking (transformation coming?)
CLOSING
This week's invitation:
Create your sacred business space
Establish your success rituals
Let your environment guide you
Next week, we're diving into manifesting your ideal clients and aligning your offers.
Remember: Your environment is your business oracle. What's yours telling you?

Alignment Before Action : The Key to Effortless Business Decisions
Ever notice how some business decisions feel heavy while others flow effortlessly? That's not coincidence – that's your energetic alignment speaking. When you're aligned, decisions become crystal clear. When you're not, even simple choices feel overwhelming.
Ever notice how some business decisions feel heavy while others flow effortlessly? That's not coincidence – that's your energetic alignment speaking. When you're aligned, decisions become crystal clear. When you're not, even simple choices feel overwhelming.
The Power of Aligned Decision-Making
Have you ever made a business decision that looked perfect on paper but felt off in your gut? Or maybe you've ignored that nagging feeling and pushed forward anyway, only to regret it later. That's what happens when we prioritize strategy over alignment.
Understanding Alignment vs. Force
Let's break down what business decisions look like in both states:
Forced Decisions:
Feel heavy and draining
Require endless pro/con lists
Keep you up at night
Leave you second-guessing
Come from fear or scarcity
Aligned Decisions:
Feel light and exciting
Flow naturally
Bring clarity and peace
Feel right in your body
Come from abundance and trust
Your Energetic Business Vision
Before any action, we need to get clear on your aligned vision. Take a moment to feel into:
What does success feel like in your body?
Who are you serving at your highest level?
What energy do you want to embody?
How do you want your business to flow?
The Three Gates of Aligned Decision-Making
Every business decision should pass through these gates:
Energy Alignment Check
Does this light me up?
Does it feel expansive?
Is it energizing or draining?
Soul Purpose Filter
Does this align with my mission?
Does it serve my highest purpose?
Does it feel authentic to me?
Abundance Alignment
Am I choosing from abundance or fear?
Does this honor my worth?
Will this create sustainable growth?
Practical Manifestation in Business
Alignment isn't just theoretical – it's highly practical. Here's how to put it into action:
Ground Your Energy
Start each day with an alignment practice
Clear your energy before decisions
Create sacred space for business planning
Connect to Vision
Regularly visualize your aligned success
Feel the energy of your next level
Make decisions from that elevated state
Trust Your Guidance
Honor your first intuitive hit
Pay attention to body signals
Notice signs and synchronicities
Signs You're Making Aligned Decisions
Watch for these indicators:
Opportunities flow naturally
The right resources appear
Support shows up unexpectedly
Everything feels easier
Success becomes sustainable
Your Alignment Practice
Ready to make decisions from alignment? Start here:
Before any business decision, pause and ask:
Does this feel light or heavy?
Am I moving from inspiration or desperation?
What would this look like if it were easy?
Create a daily alignment ritual:
Morning energy clearing
Intention setting
Vision connection
Gratitude practice
Moving Forward in Flow
Remember: Alignment before action, always. When you make decisions from an aligned state:
Clarity replaces confusion
Flow replaces force
Success becomes natural
Growth feels sustainable
Your business success isn't in pushing harder or doing more. It's in aligning your energy first and letting inspired action flow from there.

From Scattered to Focused : Understanding your Business Energy
Are you tired of time management tips that never stick? In this transformative episode, we're uncovering why managing your energy - not your time - is the key to business success.
Have you ever noticed how some days in your business feel effortless while others feel like trudging through quicksand? The difference isn't in your time management strategy – it's in your energy.
The Time Management Myth
We've all been there: downloading the latest productivity app, color-coding our calendars, and trying to squeeze more into each hour. But here's the truth that nobody's talking about: Time management isn't your problem. Energy management is your solution.
Think about it. How many times have you accomplished more in two focused hours than in an entire scattered day? That's not about time. That's about energy.
Understanding Your Energy Blueprint
Every entrepreneur has a unique energy blueprint – a natural rhythm that, when honored, leads to effortless success. But most of us are too busy following someone else's schedule to notice our own.
Your energy blueprint includes:
Peak creativity windows
Natural decision-making times
Intuitive working patterns
Energy renewal needs
When you align your business with your energy blueprint, everything flows. Tasks that used to drain you become energizing. Decisions that used to paralyze you become clear.
Signs You're Working Against Your Energy
You feel exhausted after tasks that should be simple
Your best ideas come when you're "supposed" to be working on something else
You're most productive at "odd" hours
Your energy crashes at predictable times, but you push through anyway
Creating Your Aligned Daily Practice
The morning sets your energetic tone for the entire day. Here's how to start with alignment:
1. Energy Check-in
Start each day by asking:
How am I feeling energetically?
What's my intuition saying about today?
Where do I need more alignment?
2. Intention Setting
Choose your energy by deciding:
How do I want to feel today?
What's my focused priority?
What energy do I want to bring to my tasks?
3. Energy Protection
Protect your aligned state by:
Setting energetic boundaries
Creating sacred work space
Honoring your natural rhythms
The Focus Formula
Transform scattered energy into focused flow with these practices:
Block your day by energy, not just time
Schedule creative work during your high-energy periods
Save administrative tasks for steady-energy times
Honor your natural rest and renewal needs
Create energetic boundaries
Set clear start and end times
Create transition rituals
Protect your peak energy windows
Practice energy renewal
Take breaks before you need them
Include movement in your day
Honor your natural rest cycles
Your Next Steps
Starting today:
Track your energy patterns for the next three days
Notice your natural peaks and valleys
Begin designing your business around your energy blueprint
Release guilt about working differently than others
Remember: Your energy is your biggest business asset. When you learn to work with it instead of against it, everything in your business transforms.
Are you ready to stop managing time and start flowing with your natural energy? Your aligned success awaits.

Breaking Free From Strategy Addiction
Are you caught in the endless cycle of collecting business strategies that never quite work? In this eye-opening first episode, we dive into why that next marketing strategy isn't going to save your business (and what will). Discover why you're really stuck in strategy collection mode, how it's affecting your energy, and learn a powerful Strategy Detox practice to finally break free and find clarity.
Breaking Free from Strategy Addiction: Why That Next Business Strategy Won't Save You
Let me ask you something: How many unopened courses are sitting in your digital library right now? How many strategy guides and marketing playbooks are collecting dust in your downloads folder? If you're feeling called out, keep reading.
The Strategy Trap
Here's a truth bomb: The next marketing strategy isn't going to save your business. I know, because I've been there. I used to be what I call a "strategy collector." Every time I felt stuck, I'd convince myself that the next course, the next framework, the next guru's method would be the one to finally unlock everything.
But here's what was really happening: I was avoiding the deeper work. The internal work. The energetic alignment that every successful business needs at its core.
Why We Get Addicted to Strategies
Think about what happens when you buy a new course or strategy:
You get an immediate hit of hope
You feel like you're taking action
You temporarily relieve the pressure to figure things out
You get a brief surge of motivation
But then what happens? The high wears off, and you're back to feeling stuck, looking for the next strategy fix.
The Real Cost of Strategy Addiction
This cycle isn't just costing you money. It's:
Draining your energy
Cluttering your business vision
Blocking your intuitive wisdom
Creating energetic chaos
Keeping you in perpetual "learning" mode instead of action mode
Understanding the Energy of Strategy Addiction
When you're constantly chasing new tactics, what energy are you putting out into the universe? One of lack. One of "not enough." One of "I need more to succeed."
This energy creates a self-fulfilling prophecy: The more strategies you collect, the more you feel you need, and the further you get from your natural path to success.
The Strategy Detox
Ready to break free? Here's your first step: We need to clear the energy. It's time for what I call a "Strategy Detox."
Open your downloads folder
Look at your course library
Make a list of every business strategy you've collected
Now, here's the important part – we're not going to delete everything. Instead, we're going to choose ONE thing to focus on. One strategy that genuinely aligns with your energy.
Finding Your Aligned Strategy
Ask yourself:
Which solution makes me feel light and excited?
Which one feels like it came from inspiration rather than desperation?
Which one aligns with my soul's purpose for my business?
The answer might surprise you. Often, the most aligned strategy isn't the newest or the most complex – it's the one that feels most natural to you.
Moving Forward with Alignment
Your next steps:
Complete the Strategy Detox
Choose your ONE aligned focus
Notice how it feels to release the weight of unused strategies
Trust that your inner wisdom knows the way
The Freedom of Less
Here's the beautiful paradox: When you stop collecting strategies and start trusting your alignment, you actually create more success. Why? Because your energy isn't scattered across dozens of half-implemented plans. It's focused, clear, and powerful.
Your Permission Slip
Consider this your permission slip to:
Stop buying courses you won't complete
Release strategies that don't feel aligned
Trust your intuitive business wisdom
Create success your way
Remember: Your business success isn't hiding in the next strategy. It's already within you, waiting to be unleashed through alignment.
