#546 Hope Pedraza on Why Burnout Isn't About How Much You're Doing

The Human Design Podcast

Show Notes

In today's episode I am joined by Hope Pedraza, a functional medicine practitioner who blends human design with functional health. Hope works right where your energy and your physical body meet, and she has a real knack for showing how the two map onto each other. We get into burnout, and the reframe at the heart of this conversation: burnout isn't about how much you're doing, it's about the energy behind the doing and who you're being while you do it. We talk about the difference between bur...

I share my own past life experience that shifted a lifelong behaviour pattern instantly, and then Boris takes us right into what this work actually is. We get into what past life regression really is (and why hypnosis isn't the...

I've been deep in money, investing and AI lately, so I brought in someone I've followed for years: Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K, author of the New York Times bestseller Financial Feminist, and host of the number one money podcast for women in the world. Tori does money with a middle finger up to the patriarchy, and this conversation is a masterclass in why your financial power is your freedom. We get into how Tori saved her first $100K and became a millionaire by 27, why money is a...

The transits are back. After a month off, I'm joined again by Yvette for the Human Design transits and Lauren for the astrology, and October 2026 is a big one. Coming out of eclipse season, this month is all about slowing down, getting out of your head and into your body, and asking what you actually want to be devoted to. We get into the splenic gates lighting up one after another (instinct, intuition and evolution), the powerful manifestation window from the 9th to the 14th when almost the ...
