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.

#50: What If Change Could Be Easy? Breaking the All-or-Nothing Trap with The Hypnotic Yogi
What if starting fresh didn’t require pressure, perfection, or pushing harder?
In this episode, Katie is joined by Matt Dickson, certified hypnotherapist, 500-hour yoga teacher, and known as The Hypnotic Yogi, for a grounded, non-traditional conversation about change, habit-breaking, and nervous system support — without the all-or-nothing mindset.
Matt shares why most New Year’s resolutions fail, how willpower alone drains our energy, and why true change often happens when we stop forcing it. Together, they explore stability and ease (sirisukham), subconscious reprogramming, and simple tools you can use in real life — not just on a yoga mat or meditation cushion.
You’ll hear about:
- Why January 1st is a social construct (and how to choose a better start date)
- How all-or-nothing thinking sabotages consistency
- Why habits live in the subconscious — not logic
- How hypnosis works (and what it actually feels like)
- The connection between flow state, hypnosis, and presence
- Simple nervous system tools like breathing and humming
- Why experimentation works better than perfection
- Matt’s Subconscious Sanctuary: a fusion of Yin Yoga + Hypnosis
This episode is an invitation to try something different this year — not by doing more, but by listening more closely to your body, energy, and inner cues.
