#16. Facing Fear with Courage: What 7 Human Design Gates Reveal About Your Inner Strength Artwork

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.
