You weren't born to play every role.

Have you ever felt like you're working so hard to become the person you think you're supposed to be...yet it still feels exhausting?

In Part 2 of this three-part Lighten Your Load series, Katie explores one of the most powerful (and often overlooked) parts of Human Design: your Profile.

Think of your profile as the role you were cast to play in the movie of your life. When you stop trying to perform someone else's part and begin embracing your own, life starts to feel less like quicksand and more like flowing water.

Katie shares:

• Why Human Design Profiles feel like permission instead of limitation
• Her own experience discovering she wasn't who she thought she was
• A simple explanation of all six Human Design Profile Lines
• Why authenticity creates more ease, clarity, and energy
• How understanding your profile can lighten the emotional load you've been carrying

Whether you're brand new to Human Design or already know your chart, this episode will help you see yourself—and your life—in a completely different way.

What if astrology wasn't about predicting your future—but helping you navigate it?

In this week's episode of Inspired by Design, Katie sits down with Boardroom Astrologer, Shamanic Guide, and Spiritual Advisor Eric Rosen to explore the energetic themes shaping the rest of 2026.

Together they unpack why astrology isn't about giving away your power—it's about understanding timing, recognizing opportunities, and making aligned decisions from a place of awareness instead of fear.

Whether you're completely new to astrology or already love understanding cosmic cycles, this conversation will help you see current challenges through a much bigger lens.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why astrology is a map—not a script
• The biggest energetic themes for the remainder of 2026
• Why difficult seasons often become catalysts for growth
• How entrepreneurs can use astrology in business decisions
• The importance of cycles, timing, and surrender
• Why your chart doesn't determine your destiny—it reveals possibilities
• How spiritual practices can help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom

Have you ever looked around and wondered...

"Why does everyone else seem to know how to do life except me?"

What if the problem isn't that you're broken?

What if you've simply spent years carrying expectations, roles, beliefs, and responsibilities that were never truly yours?

In this episode, Katie shares one of her favorite wisdom stories—the Parable of the Raft—and explores why the very tools, habits, and identities that once helped us survive can eventually become the weight that's holding us back.

You'll hear:

• Why overwhelm isn't just about having too much to do
• The surprising cost of high achievement and people pleasing
• How personal growth can accidentally become another burden
• Why learning to let go is often more powerful than trying harder
• The fresh perspective Human Design has given Katie for creating more ease and authenticity
• A simple journal prompt to help you discover what you're still carrying that no longer belongs on your back
