Built to be You

Because you are the women who is looking to UP LEVEL her health (not just for the new year) but for LIFE, this weeks episode is going to be for YOU my friend.
I have the honor of chatting with Jenna who takes a slightly non-traditional but absolutely EMPOWERING approach to health & fitness compared to what you might see floating around social media with the new year when it comes to fad diets and quick fixes.
Jenna isn't here to give you the cookie cutter meal plan or exercise regimen but she is here to push you to go DEEPER, to understand how to shift in to a state of making empowered decisions, to learn how to sustain habits for life not just as a quick fix or for one season while giving you ways to automate healthy habits. & she gives you the really powerful reminder to learn how to TRUST yourself and have that self compassion for who you are and where you are going.
We know you will love this weeks conversations just as much as we did recording it. Make sure to tag us over on IG @michaela_robertson and @jennaraealtman!

Do you ever compare YOURSELF to a previous version of you?

Maybe you were more fit, smaller in size, more disciplined, more excited, etc.

You keep telling yourself that version of you TODAY, right now, listening to this ‘should be doing things differently’

Negative comparison like this can keep you stuck, leave you feeling less than

& let’s be honest you are NOT supposed to operate at the same level, with the same work ethic, the same discipline, grit, resilience— all of the time
Just like seasons change outside, seasons change in your life, you will ebb and flow with energy, goals, ambition, drive and that is OKAY
I leave you with THREE questions to ask yourself to check in with yourself and ask if you are truly honoring the season you are in.

Today we have Carolina on the podcast and she's sharing all about how she uses Human Design to help people find alignment in their lives and connect with their purpose.
Carolina describes how through Human Design she was able to reconnect with herself and how it helped her understand the ones she loves. This led her down the path to make this her work and passion.
So what is Human Design? Carolina describes it as, the way your energy moves within you and how it's projected out of you. It combines everything into one holistic system which is useful when getting to know your strengths, how you communicate, your challenges, etc.
You can use the link at the bottom of the show notes to help you determine the different chakras in your body and how those are connected and which are defined or undefined. This information is important when it comes to our relationships with others and our path in life.
There are several elements of Human Design but the 5 energy types is a great place to start:
1. Generators - Meant to work on the things that light them up. They generate energy to sustain the rest of the world. Their gift is focusing on what they love.
2. Manifesting Generators - Similar to the Generator but they have the ability to manifest. They have very quick energy and tend to jump from one thing to the other. Usually they are multipassionate and are able to get what they need from something and move on quicker than most.
3. Projectors - People that are insightful. They can analyze things quickly and create systems. They tend to be full of advice but sometimes struggle with sharing before the person is ready to receive that advice. As long as they recognize their own gifts, others will see their gifts as well.
4. Manifestor - People that are meant to think outside the box and are innovative. They tend to be bold and direct and they attract the Generators they need to complete their vision.
5. Reflectors - They are meant to reflect back our experiences. They gather experience and turn it into wisdom and their energy is always changing and flowing depending on who they are with.
This work is very empowering and helps you honor who you are! Your purpose and mission are all built within you and when you tap into them you feel aligned.
To get started, Carolina recommends connecting with a reader to help you understand your chart and guide you. Start small and integrate as you go. This is a life journey and not something meant to be figured out overnight.

In this episode, I dive deep into my personal growth journey and the resistance I've been facing in my own growth. I open up about the challenges I've faced in letting go of my childhood and how it has impacted my beliefs and actions.

I share my struggles of seeking validation from others and how I've shifted my focus to knowing my own worth and creating a legacy for myself. I talk about the impact of my family dynamics on my relationships and how I'm working on healing and breaking the generational cycle.

Throughout the episode, I encourage YOU to reflect on your own journeys and ask yourself- how can I go first and show up as my future self?
I emphasize here, the power of sharing our stories and normalizing feelings of isolation and loneliness that comes with that next level growth.
Very much, a 'ME TOO' episode as I unpack the experiences I've had in life that got me to where I am today.
00:02:24 Permission to go first.
00:12:18 Embrace your story, it's powerful.
00:12:31 Past experiences shape your present self.

Anybody else in their first few years of nursing saying"WTF is this really what I signed up for?" or maybe you are a seasoned nurse with similar feelings, todays episode was inspired by an IG live I did and the request people made to share it here on the podcast so HERE WE ARE.
Your personal and professional lives are meant to live in sync. It was the feeling of sheer dread, exhaustion, lack of fulfillment, tears rolling down my cheeks and zip recruiter being my top used app that were my red flags.
I went in to new grad life saying 'oh I refuse to be the nurse who goes through burnout' now here I am connecting the pieces only to realize I was the nurse who was stuck in the cycle of burnout.
Today we talk about the cycle of burnout: burnout, break down, bounce back and how it pertains to my experience but also how it might be unfolding in YOUR career.
I thought that what I was feeling was 'normal' for a nurse in the middle of a pandemic. I share with you 7 things I did to career transition that I hope will also inspire YOU to take radical responsibility for your career.
