Inspired By Design With Katie Ruppert
Welcome to Inspired by Design with Katie Ruppert—a podcast for women ready to stop overthinking, trust themselves more, and take action on the life they actually want (without blowing it all up to get there).
If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along, like you’re juggling all the things but still unsure what’s next—or how to actually do it—you’re in the right place.
Each episode is here to inspire and empower you to take the action you've been holding back on, using practical tools you can try this week—not someday when things calm down.
You can expect simple shifts, real talk, and lessons learned from the middle of the messy journey—not the mountain top. She mixes mindset, Human Design, wellness, and everyday life to help you:
- Feel more ease and less resistance in your day-to-day
- Take small steps that lead to big change
- Navigate stress without self-doubt or burnout
- Use Human Design in a practical, fresh way (no fluff, no fancy)
- Trust your next right step—even if you’re still figuring it all out
Because change doesn’t have to be extreme to be powerful.
Let’s make it feel lighter, more doable, and designed for you.

#12. From Hustle to Harmony: Reclaiming Ease and Redefining Success with Michal McCracken
Join Katie and guest Michal McCracken—transformational coach, CEO Queen energy mentor, and host of Space & Grace—as they unpack the real cost of hustle culture and what it looks like to rebuild success on your terms.
They talk about:
- Why pushing through can feel easier (but more exhausting) than allowing ease
- The power of planning around your energy and the moon cycle
- The concept of “Queen Energy” and leading with intention
- How to overcome guilt and reclaim time for yourself
- A real-life example of working with, not against, your natural rhythm
Michal shares her honest journey—from burning out with her first business to building a coaching business grounded in feminine energy, play, and purpose. If you’ve ever felt trapped in the go-go-go, this episode is your permission slip to do things differently.
