This week’s episode is part personal reflection, part practical permission slip.

After a snow-day slowdown and a quick spiral into “what day is it?” energy, Katie explores how weekly transits, moon phases, and Human Design can be used in a grounded, useful way—without needing to understand all the jargon or believe any of it.

She shares:

• How she uses Human Design & astrology transits as weekly journaling prompts
• Why it doesn’t matter if it’s “real” or a placebo—if it helps, it helps
• A Leo Full Moon reflection for releasing what no longer fits
• What Human Design Gate 19 brings up around emotional needs, safety, and nurturing
• A vulnerable personal moment about fear, trust, and self-soothing
• A powerful Rick Rubin quote that reframed creativity, confidence, and audience pressure

This episode is for you if you’ve ever asked:
“What’s wrong with me?”
…and you’re ready to start asking better questions instead.

✨ You don’t need more information.
You need permission to experiment—with kindness.

If you’ve felt pressure to “get it together,” overhaul your life, or make 2026 your best year ever… this conversation is your permission slip to slow down.

In this episode of Inspired by Design, Katie sits down with Jaimee Dixon, intuitive and founder of Intuitive Wisdom Apothecary, for a deeply grounding conversation about intuition, feminine energy, rest, and moving into the new year with flow instead of force.

Jamie shares how her journey through intuition, herbs, dreamwork, and Human Design led her back to peace — and why she believes 2026 is calling women to protect their feminine energy more than ever.

Together, they explore:

• Why winter isn’t the season for pushing or hustling
• What it really means to “protect the feminine” (and why it doesn’t look the same for everyone)
• The energetic shift from the Year of the Snake into the Fire Horse
• Letting go of attachments, timelines, and internal pressure
• How intuition speaks quietly — and why silence matters
• The power of ritual, community, and slowing down on purpose

Jamie also shares details about her Spring Tea Party Experience and offers a collective tarot message to close the episode — a reminder that you’re not behind, and your path is already unfolding.

This episode is for you if:

• You’re spiritually curious but crave grounded conversations
• You’re tired of hustle-based personal growth
• You sense there’s “more,” but don’t want to burn your life down to find it
• You’re ready to move into the year with less resistance and more trust

Highlights/Key Features in this episode:

• Intuitive Wisdom Apothecary
• Blue Lotus Crown Chakra Tea
• Jamie’s Spring Tea Party (April 12 – Lake St. Louis, MO)
• Human Design: Splenic Projectors, intuition & timing
