What if the version of you you’ve been searching for has been within you all along—waiting for permission to fully come alive?
In this deeply inspiring conversation, I sit down with Dyan Fast, founder of Elevate to Design, teacher, coach, and retreat host, who discovered the transformational power of human design during a season of stillness and soul-searching. What started as a personal exploration became a calling to help other women uncover who they truly are beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
Dyan opens up about how human design helped her feel more connected to her purpose, strengthened her marriage, and gave her the courage to launch her first business after 50. We explore how faith and energetic alignment can coexist, how different designs show up in relationships and business, and how to overcome people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and the belief that it’s “too late.”
This episode is for the woman who’s been living for everyone else and is ready to rediscover herself. Get ready to be seen, inspired, and challenged in the best way.
