In this episode of PCOS Unfiltered: Nourish, Heal, Thrive, we explore how healing doesn’t have to feel so hard. Host Lindsie is joined by Julieta Duvall, a soulful rebel and human design guide, for a deep, grounding conversation about stress, conditioning, and self-trust—especially for women navigating PCOS. Together, they unpack how human design offers a new language for understanding your body, energy, and decision-making without forcing yourself into systems that were never designed for you. From hustle culture and people-pleasing to nervous system overload and chronic burnout, this episode reframes healing as an experiment in alignment rather than another rigid plan to follow. Julieta explains the foundations of human design—type, strategy, and authority—and how these can help you recognize when you’re in alignment versus when you’re living in frustration, resentment, or exhaustion. The conversation weaves together stress physiology, emotional storage in the body, relationships, parenting, sleep, movement, and why what works for one woman with PCOS may not work for another. This episode is an invitation to stop fighting your body, start listening, and get curious about what healing could feel like when you work with your natural design instead of against it.

(0:00 - 0:18) Because I think we have been conditioned to think that life should be hard, but I honestly don't think it should be hard at all. And it took me a while because, oh, Lord, if you only knew. But yeah, I mean, this, I mean, this conversation about human design for me, it's like, that's why I love it, because it gave me different language.
(0:18 - 0:34) And, you know, some people say, well, aren't you replacing one bad label for a good label? But I'm like, it made me open up to different pieces. It made me open up to different layers of healing that I needed. But I couldn't have gotten there if I did not have human design.
(0:34 - 0:46) I do know that much. Well, you know, going back to what you were saying, you know, life shouldn't be hard. I mean, it's almost like all these things, technology wise, you know, have come into our lives to try to make things easier.
(0:47 - 0:54) But in a lot of ways, I feel like they just complicate things. Yeah. And almost kind of make things more difficult in some areas.
(0:55 - 1:15) Yeah. And this is where I think human design, yeah, can play a role in kind of simplifying some of that. Because all the technology, when you don't know how, what works for you, and how it feels when something works for you, we get definitely lost in the sea of options and things to do and rituals to follow.
(1:16 - 1:40) But I think human design gives you discernment to find out quickly, choose, okay, this is for me, that's not for me, and then move on. And not feel guilty about it, because we're not supposed to do all the things, you know, and stuff like that for people, because it truly has changed my life, you guys. Welcome back to PCOS Unfiltered, Nourish, Heal, Thrive.
(1:41 - 2:09) I'm your host, Lindsie. And today's episode is such a good one. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things, and still wondering, why does this never seem to work for me? Because here's the truth, a lot of women with PCOS aren't just battling hormones, they're battling conditioning, diet culture, hustle culture, the pressure to start over every January with a shiny new resolution, only to feel frustrated, behind, or burnout a few weeks later.
(2:10 - 2:31) And that's actually the perfect lead-in to something I'm really excited about, the anti-resolution revolution, happening January 26th through the 31st. This is a free, collaborative, gamified event where you'll receive daily recordings straight to your inbox, so you can watch and participate on your own time. No pressure, no life commitments.
(2:32 - 2:56) And the entire goal of this event is to help you finally understand my resolutions fail year after year, and what actually needs to change for things to stick. I'll share more about that at the end of the episode, and of course, I'll link everything in the show notes for you. Now, today, I'm joined by Julieta Duvall, a soulful rebel and grounded guide for individuals and families who are dismantling systems that no longer serve them.
(2:57 - 3:34) Julieta is a dedicated mom, entrepreneur, and a seasoned flight attendant of nearly 20 years, living a nomadic lifestyle while helping others reconnect to their own inner rhythm and truth. Julieta uses human design as a practical tool for self-trust, helping people understand their unique blueprint for stress, decision-making, energy, rest, and alignment. And in this conversation, we explore how human design can be a powerful companion on a PCOS healing journey, especially when stress, nervous system dysregulation, people-pleasing, and over-committing are part of the picture.
(3:36 - 4:08) We talk about the basics, your type, strategy, and authority, plus how to recognize when you're in alignment versus when you're living in chronic frustration, resentment, or burnout. We also go into how your environment, sleep routines, and even relationship dynamics can impact your stress and your health, and how learning your design can help you advocate for yourself more confidently with providers and in your daily life.

(4:29 - 4:51) As always, take what resonates, leave what doesn't, and use this episode as an invitation to get curious about what your body has been trying to tell you all along. All right, let's dive in. So welcome, Julieta.
(4:52 - 5:13) Oh my gosh. So I learned about human design, it's been probably a year, over a year ago, from my sister-in-law, and so I've just kind of skimmed the surface with human design, so I'm super excited for this. so we can dive in a little bit deeper and of course apply it to PCOS and women's health in general.
(5:13 - 5:23) I think this is gonna be a great one for all of that stuff. So let's just kind of start from the beginning. What is human design? Oh my gosh, thank you so much for having me.
(5:23 - 5:42) I'm so excited. I learned about human design back in 2021, but essentially what it is, people see it as a science of differentiation and he talks, he blends a couple of ancient systems. So he blends astrology, the Chinese I Ching, the chakra system and the Kabbalah tree.
(5:42 - 6:26) And then it also blends quantum mechanics and some micro biochemistry and genetics. Now that is not something that I have always looked at because I came into human design from the spiritual part of it per se, but essentially it kind of lets you see your blueprint, what you are here to do and how life works for you from within, because we do have a lot of systems that tell us what works for us, but they don't always actually work for you. So I feel like there's always a struggle between finding what works for you from within and what other people are telling us to do.
(6:27 - 6:45) And that's why I fell in love with it. So, yeah. Yeah, that's where that kind of conditioning piece kind of plays a role in that, right? Yes, oh my gosh, it is so, it is the conditioning that runs through our system and through our bodies, it's like massive.
(6:46 - 7:26) And I think, so I learned it in 2021 when I was starting to transition into home education because I didn't really know how to be this parent that they say like, hold space for your children, do self-directed education, follow their leads. But I'm like, how am I supposed to do that if I'm always being triggered, if I was upset or whatever? And I'm like, how is that supposed to work? And then human design came into my life and it really changed it. It had a kinder language to what some of the things that people would see as wrong per se.
(7:27 - 7:38) And it just kind of gave me an opening into something different that felt so much more empowering. And I think that's why I fell in love with it. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
(7:38 - 8:13) Yeah, I mean, it's great in helping understand other people better. Yes, understand yourself, but I think understand other people better and be able to work with them and respond to them a little bit better as well, right? Exactly, because if you know yourself, there, once you know yourself, you will be this like radiation of just happiness and fulfillment. And you really can't help but to affect other people by just being in your energy when you're in like in full alignment, your body and your mind.
(8:13 - 8:53) And I think that's why I was so drawn to your work too, because I've been working with a spiritual aspect of it, but I was kind of bypassing the body per se, because, and I get chills as I'm saying this, because the body was like, girl, you cannot be feeling and doing all of this if you do not work with what you're feeling, like the symptoms, right? I had an adrenal condition from when I was really, really young. It's called hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweat of the hands sometimes. It has kind of slowed down a little bit after so many years.
(8:53 - 9:07) But essentially, I think that I was under so much repressing my energy. So I am a manifest and generator in human design, and I had so much energy. And I really think that that did something.
(9:08 - 9:26) I was also feeling a lot of stress from my parents, I think, and I really think that turned my adrenals into like this overdrive of something. So it's a piece that I keep working with it as far as like the body, the nervous system, and connecting all of those pieces together. So, yeah.
(9:26 - 9:53) Yeah, that's a great, yeah, a great example of how human design can help. It kind of also takes us into the next question in that how can human design help with stress? Oh my goodness. You know, this is one of the things I talk a lot about, you know, on the podcast, but how can it help us stress? It is so, so the beginning to human design, and before I'll say anything else, it's like, it's an experiment.
(9:53 - 10:02) It's an exploration of something. It's a tool that you have with you whenever you need it or not. So sometimes it resonates and sometimes it doesn't.
(10:02 - 10:14) So take whatever resonates and whatever feels the most expansive. But when you start with human design, you find out your type, your strategy, and your authority. Those are like the three basic foundations.
(10:15 - 10:28) For type, we have five types. You have projectors, generators, manifestors, reflectors, and manifesting generators. Each one of those has its, like a little barometer.
(10:28 - 10:43) If you think of a bowling alley, you know, when you have the lanes, like the rails. So one rail is when you're in alignment, and the other side is when you're not in alignment. And they're very simple feelings for me as a manifesting generator.
(10:43 - 11:00) When I am in alignment, I am going to feel peace and satisfaction. When I am not in alignment, I am gonna feel frustrated and angry, simple. And when you're a projector, you feel resentment when you're not in alignment, and success when you're in alignment.
(11:00 - 11:23) So those are, you know, those are very like simple terms once you learn your type to know where you're going with this. And that, when you're in perpetual not in alignment, like in perpetual frustration, that will bring your stress levels higher up. So by knowing those key pieces is gonna help you.
(11:24 - 11:44) And then the other piece for your authority is how we best make decisions. And that has been a work in progress for me because most of the world, we are an emotional authority. So there's emotional, there's sacral authority, there's ego authority.
(11:44 - 11:55) They all have different pieces. And once you find yours, it's like, it's something to experiment and to look back into your experiences. So for me, for example, I'm an emotional authority.
(11:56 - 12:15) The way I'm supposed to work, but again, it's just an experiment. It's like when someone invites me to do something and I'm in the height of the emotion, I'm like, yes, absolutely. And I learned it this hard way actually, because a long time ago, a homeschool mom asked me if I wanted to teach Spanish to her children.
(12:16 - 12:38) And in a matter of five minutes, she planned this whole life of us going through like our whole homeschool journey, you know, like teaching Spanish to each other. And I was like, for about two minutes, it might've felt good. Because I was looking for community, right? I wanted someone to go through on this journey together.
(12:39 - 12:46) But after she left, I was like, this does not feel good to me. This does not feel good. And that's an emotional.
(12:46 - 13:08) So you make a decision at the height of your emotions or at the lowest of your emotions. And then the next day, literally when you wake up, you're like, okay, this is not good. And then sometimes, because we came back out of it actually, when I finally said something after a couple of days of, you know, thinking about this, I was like, I don't think you can do this.
(13:09 - 13:26) She stopped talking to me, you know? So it was, and back then I didn't know that. So I felt terrible. I felt like I was doing something wrong, but I was being committed, being pulled into something that was truly not in alignment for me.
(13:26 - 13:45) So, and I feel like this happens a lot for people. So manifestors, they're very, they're kind of 8% of the population, so they are not that many, but they are here to initiate things. And their aura is very powerful.
(13:46 - 14:23) But when they, they are the only ones that are here to initiate things, but the world doesn't like that unless it fits everyone else's, you know, picture of what you need. So manifestors, when they're not in alignment, they tend to go into people-pleasing, and they repress their anger when something doesn't work for them. And I feel like you're being constantly pulled into things that do not work for you, and you're just in that cycle, and it's like you're under the wave, and you just can't get out of it.
(14:23 - 14:40) So once you start learning your type, how human design says that you must operate, that you operate, and you know, you can experiment with that if it works for you. If it doesn't, if you're a manifestor, you're like, well, I don't really resonate with that, then it's okay. You know, you move on to what works for you.
(14:41 - 15:01) But once you know your authority, how you best make decision, it is the best piece for me to reflect on what has brought both satisfaction and frustration on the other end, because, oh, it's just a lot. Like, yes. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think that's a very relatable story.
(15:01 - 15:37) I feel like, you know, we do go through things where we get committed to, you know, commit ourselves to something, and then, yeah, you wake up the next day and realize you can't do it. You know, you're gonna overstress yourself, and I think that's important to recognize that, because as I have talked about before as well on the podcast, you know, about self-care. And so when you actually, if you take a step back and realize like, yes, it's gonna overdo it for me, I'm over committing to whatever it is, and it's okay to be selfish in that sense.
(15:38 - 16:13) Yeah, and you know, I love that, because it's really not, you know, people don't see that as good. You know, when you take care of yourself, because people will say like, you know, do self-care, but what does that mean? Is it just really going to a spa for like, you know, a couple hours and then going crazy for the next three months? I'm like, that doesn't sound like a good deal to me, but it brings me to the other piece. So you find your type, your strategy, your authority, how you best make decisions, how you feel when you're in alignment and not in alignment, and how you're meant to operate, you know, as your type.
(16:13 - 16:36) But the other piece, so when you get your body graph, that's what it's called, the chart, it's called a body graph, you will see nine centers. We, in human design, we're a nine-center beam. And some of those, they're like triangles and a little, you know, squares and circles, and they're going to be illuminated or not.
(16:36 - 16:47) So they're going to be either white or color in. Those are centers. So the very top one is going to be your head, and the very bottom one is going to be your root.
(16:48 - 17:12) In human design, that is called a pressure sandwich. What that means is when they're open or white, if you see, if you're looking at the body graph and they're both white, you are going to receive and amplify. And this is so, I cannot tell you how this helpful was for me because my top one is my head and its inspiration, its ideas.
(17:13 - 17:27) Lordy, when I am out in the world, I receive everyone's inspiration, everyone's ideas. And what I learned from human design is that they're okay. I just don't have to go after each and every one of them.
(17:28 - 17:48) And that really saved me a whole bunch of time because I am here trying to initiate things. I'm here trying to do the hustle and bustle, and I am not designed to operate that way. I am designed to be responding to things, a podcast invitation, an invitation to lunch, and for me to say yes or no.
(17:49 - 17:56) Like you can, and you can see my movement. When I'm excited about something, I'm going to move forward. So we're just going to like automatically.
(17:56 - 18:11) So when you see that, those two shapes, there are other shapes, everything, every shape has a purpose. It all works in different ways. But those two pieces, the pressure sandwich, the bottom one is the root, it's about stress.
(18:12 - 18:32) And if we put it into like the body, so your head is your pineal gland, and correct me in the names because I don't say this a lot. And then you have your astronaut, it's going to be your neocortex, your visual cortex and your pituitary glands. Then you have your throat, it's going to be your thyroid.
(18:33 - 18:48) And the parathyroid glands. And this is, everything in human design makes its way down to the throat and up into the throat towards manifestation. It's all about speaking what you want into your life.
(18:48 - 19:01) It's all about that. And then you have the heart center, it's going to be your stomach, your thymus gland, the heart and the gallbladder. The spleen is the lymphatic system.
(19:01 - 19:12) The solar plexus is the lungs, the kidneys, the pancreas, the prostate gland and the nervous system. And that's your emotions. In human design, that's attached to how we manage our emotions.
(19:13 - 19:29) And our nervous system just goes into like complete distress. And then you have the sacral centers, your ovaries and the testes, the G center is the liver and the blood. So each center is attached to some of the organs that we have in this beautiful body.
(19:29 - 19:46) So once you find out, you look at what you receive from other people and then you start to create these practices of deciding whether that's for you or not. My ideas, they're not all for me. They're for other people.
(19:47 - 20:20) Same thing, I actually give out stress because I have defined route. So I don't know that I could, I don't know how people experience the stress from other people, but I can say that my kids receive emotions and I give out emotions. And that was one of the pieces that really resonated with me in human design because as a homeschool family, I'm with my kids all the time, 24 seven.
(20:20 - 20:38) So when I am in a low emotional wave, I don't wanna give that to them. So I created practices around that to let them know that my emotions when they're low, because they are, that is not because of them. That is not, that they are not the cause of that.
(20:39 - 20:51) And that the same thing with the stress, if you receive stress from other people, if you have a pressure sandwich, it's not yours to take in. It's not yours to fix. It's not yours, you can feel it for sure because that's a gift that you have.
(20:51 - 21:07) You're feeling how other people have. And I think in the medical field, a lot of nurses actually have that because you can feel that. You can tell when someone's not feeling well, even without saying any words, but it is not for you to take.
(21:07 - 21:15) It is not for you to keep it in your body. There is a way to release that. Oh God, I said a lot.
(21:16 - 21:30) That's okay. That was all good stuff. I mean, yeah, like once I was introduced to human design myself, I'm like, wow, this makes sense because I do, I can read people in certain ways.
(21:30 - 21:51) I just feel things. I mean, I've been at things like with my husband, like for example, we were at one of his conference trade shows and something had happened where someone that he was talking to got reported for something. And I knew exactly who it was because I was watching interaction.
(21:51 - 22:45) And so sure enough, he had told me what had happened and he found out later who it was and I knew exactly who it was because I could just feel the energy from those two people interacting and I happened to be there to watch it. So yeah, I mean, once you really tap into that, I think it's amazing. And going back to what you were saying too with the specific organs and everything, that's where I have discussed a little bit before, I've had other experts on the shows, on some episodes, but where trauma and emotional peace plays a role in PCOS and can play a role in other conditions as well because when we store those emotions, like you were saying, it's not good for our body, that's stressing our body more.
(22:45 - 23:03) No, it really, yeah. It is so beautiful to hear you say that, like once you start observing, and this is why I love the experimentation part of human design, like you don't have to take my word for it. Like just kind of slow down on your day and see what happens though.
(23:03 - 23:24) But in the animal kingdom, when the animals are stressed because they have to survive, after that episode is done, they tend to shake off the episode so they've reset themselves. We, on the other hand, we don't really know how to reset ourselves, so we store all of that. And all of that kind of goes in there.
(23:24 - 23:49) And I really think that's what triggered my condition. This is, I think it got triggered when I was like maybe five, four or five years old, which, you know, my mom, you know, I mean, she didn't know any better, right? She didn't know, she just knew what she knew, but I think she took me to the doc and then I pulled it, it just happened. And, you know, that was that. (23:49 - 24:03) And I never really looked into it until I started learning human design. And there's, I like the gene keys too. It's a piece that could help with the more practical pieces of the gates and stuff like that.
(24:03 - 24:12) So I started looking into that and it kind of made sense a little bit. So I don't know, it's just, yeah, we're not going to keep all of it though. So.
(24:13 - 24:37) Yeah, yeah, there's no handbook to parenting, right? Oh my goodness, no. So, you know, and that's where, I mean, some of this comes in though, because, you know, it is what it is. Like that's how we're raised and conditioned, you know, like we talked about in certain ways, but then later on in life, as we grow up and mature and actually come into, you know, our own being, we start learning these things in our own way, yeah.
(24:37 - 25:01) Yeah, and it's beautiful because I, with that, it helped me see my parents from a different perspective. It helped me have compassion for, you know, some of the things that I went through and it gave me some information to go through with my children. So, because the other piece that you mentioned on episode two, when you, you know, other things, you mentioned sleep and movement a lot.
(25:02 - 25:21) And when you go, out of the five types in human design, only two of those have sacral energy. So generators and manifesting generators have sacral energy. What that means is like picture a pitcher full of water when you wake up, full of energy.
(25:22 - 25:33) And throughout the day, you are drinking that water. So you're utilizing your energy in the most efficient way. It's our dream, but sometimes we have to do things that we don't want to and stuff like that.
(25:33 - 25:57) So it feels a little bit like more of a struggle to drink that water. But at the end of the day, you, as a manifesting generator or a generator, that pitcher of energy should be empty. And that is a lot of the piece that you said, when you're like sedentary and you're not moving, if you are a generator type, your energy, it's gonna store in there and it's going to accumulate.
(25:58 - 26:10) And it's just, it has to go somewhere. Either it goes outward or it stays in the body and then the rest of the organs have to like process that in a way. So you'll see that I have both my kids are generator types.
(26:11 - 26:29) So we'll see an influx of energy right before bedtime. It's like, you know, like the wiggles, you know, and then everybody just like crash. So yeah, but in the non-generator types, like the non-sacral types, so you have a projector, a reflector and a manifester.
(26:30 - 26:46) What they do with their sacral is that they receive energy from people. They receive energy from the world. They're not, it's there for a reason to help them and it kind of helps them through their process and through their day and stuff.
(26:46 - 27:04) But at the end of the day, a non-sacral type should be able to release all of that. Because again, that energy, it's not yours in a sense. And if it's not the good juicy one, when someone is in alignment, you've received energy from someone that's frustrated, then it's not gonna feel good to you either.
(27:04 - 27:24) So it's releasing that energy. And that goes to, I think it was Cameron Diaz that said that we should sleep alone or something when you're like married and, right? There are, yeah, I don't know if it was her, but yes, I have heard that before. Yeah, so that really, it's something that you should experiment, not short.
(27:25 - 27:34) If it feels right, you can experiment with. Try sleeping alone. You know, we're conditioned to sleep with our partners, you know, like when you have a couple.
(27:35 - 28:05) So sleeping alone feels like, but why should you? I'm like, why not? So the non-sacral types, it's more of a flow into sleep. So it's more of a quiet routine, you know, just like kind of easing to bed, releasing all that energy, and then just kind of getting ready for the next day. But if you, so what it is said in the human design world is that when you sleep with someone that has sacral energy at night, you are constantly taking that in.
(28:05 - 28:20) So it creates a restless cycle for you because you have energy there that is not yours. So it just doesn't let you, you know, get a full sleep cycle. And then the next morning you're tired.
(28:21 - 28:33) And then you're, as a non-sacral type, you know, we are conditioned to say, we're supposed to do, do, do, do all the time. What is Nike says, just do it. I'm like, no, absolutely not.
(28:33 - 29:01) So it's just all this like little pieces of conditioning that kind of scream at you that we're supposed to do all these things. And sometimes I feel like human design goes against that or like speaks differently and it creates a like, hmm, should I try that? You know, is that even possible? And then you start finding out what really, what works for you. And that really what's the beautiful piece that I love about it.
(29:01 - 29:17) Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, that's another great point, great example, you know, of how human design can work. You know, and I talk about a wind down routine actually in my book. You know, like for some people it might be, might involve more, you know, than others. (29:17 - 29:35) And that's where human design could play a role. But like what you said about experimenting with that as well, because yeah, again, we're conditioned to just think we have to sleep with our partner and my husband and I are both manifesting generators. So I think we do, you know, we usually do fine.
(29:36 - 29:44) He crashes. Like you were saying, you know, his cup is usually empty at the end of the day. And he crashes, I crash.
(29:46 - 30:10) But yeah, for others that may not be the best, you know, the best thing for them. And there's still ways, because I think going back to the conditioning piece, it's like some people think that's taking away from the relationship maybe, you know, but there's still other ways to build that bond and improve the relationship. And that might actually be a way to improve that relationship by sleeping apart from each other.
(30:10 - 30:37) You might actually be stronger in the end. You absolutely are absolutely right in that, because that was one of the reasons why I love human design too, because it didn't just help me with my children, the relationship, well, obviously with myself, because I can tell you that I was a tiger mom, homeschooled edition, like I was just a nutcase. And then I just kind of went through this like deconditioning and allowed myself to see different.
(30:38 - 31:02) But a relationship with my husband, it helped me see some things that I used to perceive that's like offensive to me. Like he would say, I would go and ask a question. And if he was doing something, I'm okay when people come and ask me a question if I'm doing something, like it doesn't bother me.
(31:02 - 31:21) But for him, he's hyper-focused into what he's doing. So if he feels interrupted, which I did, I used to, right? He would roll his eyes almost, and he would take a deep breath. And then I automatically, I would like put my fighting gloves on.
(31:21 - 31:41) I'm like, what is your problem? And after learning about human design, we learned that we're both are single definition. The definition is important at some point, but it's not a piece that, I don't know that, I'm trying to say single definition. It's like, we're just independent.
(31:42 - 32:03) That's other people, they have a split definition, triple split. And what that means is that there is more energy needed inside your body to like connect the whole thing. So some people do need more to be around more people, like working at a cafe, it's like very helpful for a triple split because then they get energy from other people and it's just things feel better.
(32:03 - 32:17) But for a single definition for us, like us being independent, it's like essential. So learning to navigate that and be okay with it, it releases stress. Like I'm like, okay, I don't have to be worried about that.
(32:18 - 32:25) I don't know. Do you get hyper-focused on something too? It's more my husband. Okay.
(32:26 - 32:42) Yeah, and so let's say very similar because then I've learned, if he's in the middle of something, I'm just like, I'll ask my question when he's done because it's more, he just kind of doesn't answer. And then I'm like, why are you ignoring me? Just acknowledge me. Yes, exactly.
(32:43 - 32:50) But he just needs to finish what he's doing and then I can interact more with him. Exactly. And I'm the same way.
(32:50 - 33:01) I tell my husband, I'm like, I have a lot in my head. I need to have a sit down conversation about this. And that's okay, but there's all these like little pieces.
(33:01 - 33:21) You no longer go to bed upset or thinking things that may not even be true. So we are like swimming in our heads with all these ideas and they may not even be true. So it really helped with the communication part and just kind of seeing how different we are.
(33:22 - 33:38) Okay, I loved that conversation. And if you're listening, thinking, wait, this explains me, you are not alone. One of the biggest things I'm taking away from today is that healing gets lighter when you stop forcing yourself into someone else's framework.
(33:38 - 34:12) Because so many of us, especially women navigating PCOS have been conditioned to believe we have to do more, push harder, follow the perfect plan and somehow override our bodies to get results. But what Julieta brought to the table today is such a powerful reminder that your body isn't the problem, it's the messenger. We talked about using human design as an experiment, not a rule book, and how learning your type, strategy and authority can help you recognize when you're in alignment, when you're over committing and what kinds of decisions or environments quietly raise your stress without you even realizing it.
(34:13 - 34:32) And I love the way she tied it back to nervous system regulation, stored stress and the reality of what works for one woman with PCOS may not work for another because we're not all built the same. If you want to connect with Julieta to learn more, I'll link everything for you in the show notes. And lastly, let's circle back to the anti-resolution revolution.
