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.

#38 Your Nose Knows: Healing Through Scent, Story, and Curiosity with Shevah Pinkus
What if your nose could tell your story? This week, I’m joined by artist, healer, and aroma intuitive Shevah, whose journey from chronic illness to scent alchemy will completely shift how you think about healing, mindfulness, and curiosity.
Submit a Question for Katie to answer on a future episode:
We talk about:
- Her childhood fascination with plants, poetry, and scent—and how it became her soul’s work.
- What happened when traditional medicine stopped helping and how she learned to listen to her body.
- The power of curiosity in transforming pain into purpose.
- Why scent can access parts of the brain that mindset alone can’t.
- The science and soul behind her Aroma Readings (a mix between wine tasting, chakra healing, and tarot).
- How her Sensory Reset experiences use all five senses to bring people into flow, presence, and healing.
You’ll walk away inspired to use curiosity as your compass, scent as your anchor, and presence as your path.
