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.

#31: The Gift of the Projector: Guiding Without Burning Out
Congrats to Megan Vale - winner of our free Mini Human Design Reading!
What does it really mean to be a Projector in a world full of Generators? In this conversation, we explore how Projectors are wired to guide, improve, and refine — not hustle their way to burnout. You’ll hear real-life stories about what it feels like to always be “the advice-giver,” why waiting for the invitation is key to protecting your energy, and how self-care looks different for Projectors than for the rest of us.
We cover:
- Why 70% of the world’s population feels wired to “do more” — and how Projectors are here to redirect that energy.
- The role of Projectors as improvers and guides — spotting what works and what doesn’t.
- The danger of burnout when Projectors try to keep up with Generator energy.
- Practical tips to protect your energy and avoid bitterness.
- How to know when it’s time to say “no” and honor your alone time.
- Insights from the 6/2 Profile (Role Model / Hermit) — including why “alone time” isn’t selfish, but essential.
