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.

#48: Before the Next Chapter: Making Peace with the Messy Middle & Trusting Your Becoming (with Adrienne Swanson)
As 2025 comes to a close and the next chapter begins, this episode is an invitation to pause—right in the middle of the becoming.
In this honest, grounded conversation, Katie sits down with fellow coach Adrienne Swanson to explore what it really looks like to navigate seasons of change that don’t feel clear, clean, or comfortable. From business evolution to motherhood, identity shifts, and those in-between moments where certainty is nowhere to be found, this is a conversation for anyone who has wondered:
“Am I lost… or am I just in transition?”
Together, two coaches reflect on:
- Making peace with the messy middle instead of rushing through it
- Why uncertainty doesn’t mean you’re off track
- Trusting yourself when the old chapter no longer fits, but the new one hasn’t fully arrived
- Navigating transitions in business, motherhood, and personal identity
- How core values quietly guide us—even when things feel messy
- Letting this season shape you, rather than judging it
This episode feels like the kind of conversation you might pay good money to sit in on—but instead, it’s offered as a gift. A moment of reflection. A deep exhale. A gentle guide as you close out 2025 and step toward 2026 with more trust, compassion, and clarity.
If you’re standing at the edge of a new chapter—without a clear map—this conversation will remind you:
You’re not behind. You’re becoming.
✨ Perfect to listen to as you reflect on the year behind you and reconnect with what truly matters moving forward.
