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.

#19. Grief, Trauma & Identity: Human Design Answers Big Questions
Episode Summary:
In today’s listener-inspired episode, I’m answering three bold and thoughtful questions that came in through the Google Form. These are questions many people wonder about but are often unsure if they can ask—so I’m thrilled to unpack them for you.
👉 The questions we explore:
- How does Human Design inform the processing of emotions like grief or anger?
- Can childhood trauma influence someone's Human Design?
- What if I don’t like or resonate with my chart—can I change it?
We’ll dive into:
- Emotional authority vs. open solar plexus and what that means for how you process emotions
- The red flag/green flag emotional signals for each Human Design type
- How trauma may influence the expression of your design (but not change the blueprint)
- Why disliking your design is often a clue about conditioning—not a flaw in the system
- Why using Human Design in partnership with healing tools like therapy, yoga, EMDR, and coaching can be so powerful
