28: You're Doing Everything 'Right' - So Why Are You So Exhausted?
Mar 500:12:33Tap to summarizeIf you've been working hard, following all the expert advice, and still feeling exhausted and stuck — this episode is for you. I'm sharing the real reason so many ambitious people burn out even when they're doing everything "right," and it has nothing to do with discipline or effort. I'm also sharing the most common ways we end up working against ourselves — and what to do instead.Topics discussed in this episode: [0:26] Are your results matching your effort?[1:24] How following the “right” advice burned me out[2:29] Problem #1: You're doing things you think you “should” do[4:00] Problem #2: You’re working against your natural energy[5:50] Problem #3: Spending too much time outside your zone of genius[7:51] You need a personalized strategy[9:22] Get your customized Human Design reportResources mentioned in this episode:[9:22] Get your 50+ page customized Human Design report for $44 here Follow me on Social:Instagram Youtube Noteworthy Quotes:"You can't just follow standard advice and expect it to work unless you also personalize it to yourself.""When you're doing something just because you feel like you should, you're basically running your car on fumes.""There's a difference between hard work that flows and hard work that grinds you down.""Your strengths are your superpower. When you spend most of your energy in your zone of genius, you produce better results with less effort.""That's not failure.

Feb 2600:11:53Tap to summarizeThe Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries — happening for the first time in 36 years — is bringing a rare blend of dreamy Neptune energy and structured Saturn discipline, and I’m breaking down what this means for you personally. While this transit is dissolving old structures on the world stage, it's also offering each of us a powerful invitation: to finally wrap real structure around our biggest dreams and start taking consistent action. Topics discussed in this episode: [00:00:26] — Working with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction for your personal benefit[00:01:27] — What is a conjunction?[00:02:10] — Breaking down the energy: Saturn, Neptune, and Aries[00:03:46] — What this means on the world stage [00:05:36] — What this means for YOU personally[00:07:20] — Neptune's shadow: confusion, scattered action - how to work with it[00:08:16] — Practical exercise to start taking action[00:09:54] — Make your dreams happen in 1:1 coaching[00:11:01] — Closing thought: leaning into what you can controlResources mentioned in this episode:Book your free 50-minute call with me here to talk about whether 1:1 coaching is the next step for you or not. Follow me on Social:Instagram YoutubeNoteworthy Quotes:"We can't always predict exactly what will happen based on the transits, but we can look at what energies are present and decide how we want to work with that energy.""We have the dream, but not the plan. The vision, but not the consistent action. And that's exactly what this conjunction is inviting us to do — to take our Neptune dreams and wrap some Saturn structure around them.""Saturn is not about doing everything all at once. Saturn is about taking steady, consistent action to build solid foundations, and then you build on it from there.""It feels like so much is happening right now that is out of our control. It can be really grounding to lean into what we can control, which is our own thoughts, feelings, and actions."Host Bio:Heather Grace Hanson is a coach with certifications in positive psychology and coaching the unconscious mind, as well as certifications in human design and astrology.

There's no going back.""I think it's possible to hold two opposing beliefs in our minds. We can wish that none of this is happening, and at the same time be glad for the motivation to change what's broken in the systems that affect every aspect of our lives.""We can't fight for a better future if we are completely burned out and overwhelmed. So make sure to take care of yourself."Host Bio:Heather Grace Hanson is a coach with certifications in positive psychology and coaching the unconscious mind, as well as certifications in human design and astrology.

Jan 2200:19:17Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I talk about the three main reasons why people procrastinate and how to overcome them.It’s actually not as hard or as complicated as you probably think. Most people, myself included, have spent so much time and effort trying and failing to overcome procrastination that we just assume it’s so hard, but once we know why it’s happening and the simple techniques that overcome it…All of a sudden it’s actually pretty easy to start taking action on those big goals!Topics discussed in this episode: [00:31] The three main reasons why people procrastinate [02:21] How to overcome fear[09:06] How to overcome confusion[11:14] How to make your new goal an automatic habit[16:39] Let’s recap…Resources mentioned in this episode:Sign up for the Make Your 2026 Goals Inevitable workshop here for just $17 and rewire your unconscious mind to make your success inevitable!Follow me on Social:InstagramYoutubeNoteworthy Quotes:"When we have these underlying fears and we're not even sure what we're afraid of, sometimes that alone can just make it more scary... bringing it up can sometimes make you realize, oh yeah, it makes sense that I would have that fear, but it's actually not that big of a deal because I know how I would handle it.""Our brains really love clarity and certainty. So when faced with confusion and uncertainty, our brain will usually just tell us, okay, let's work on this later because we don't know what to do... remind yourself that it's okay that I don't know what to do—this is actually part of the process.""Most of the time we think that we have to start doing the thing and then we'll believe that we're the person who does that thing every day, but it's actually the opposite.""It's more about stacking the number of days that you do it rather than making sure you have an unbroken chain of doing it every day.""Our brain is designed to create habits. And so until we train ourselves to create new habits using this method, it will always just be stuck in the old habits.""I've started doing these things and it's amazing how I have gotten so much work done... achieved big goals that I had been working on for years."Host Bio:Heather Grace Hanson is a coach with certifications in positive psychology and coaching the unconscious mind, as well as certifications in human design and astrology.

Jan 1500:13:48Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I’m sharing a powerful simple, but powerful exercise that I do daily to help me shift into the identity of the person who has already achieved the goal(s) I’m currently working on.Most of the time we think we’ll become the person who does the thing, AFTER we do it, but it’s actually the other way around. We become the person who does the thing, then the actual doing of the thing becomes so much easier.If you only do this one exercise daily, while working on your goals this year, you will be shocked by your progress. I have been…Topics discussed in this episode: [01:09] The importance of shifting your identity before achieving the goal[04:50] How this exercise helped me achieve my goals last year[06:40] How to shift your identity using an identity statement and EFTResources mentioned in this episode:Sign up for the Make Your 2026 Goals Inevitable workshop here for just $17 and rewire your unconscious mind to make your success inevitable!Follow me on Social:Instagram YoutubeNoteworthy Quotes:"The best way to actually achieve your goals is to take on that identity first, and then it makes those actions so much easier.""If you truly believe in your mind that I am a healthy person, or I am someone who takes care of myself and my body... it will make it so much easier to eat the healthy food, go for a walk, go for a run.""Most sources will say it's at least 90% of our actions are driven by our unconscious mind. So it's so important that we have the identity of the person who has already achieved our goals.""I kid you not, I had been struggling to lose this weight for like three-ish years... when I finally started applying this, then I just dropped all the weight in like six months.""We would repeat those mantras and our brain would instantly talk back and say like, yeah, but that's not true...

So the way that it does that is it creates these automatic and subconscious patterns based on what we've done in the past.""Unless you know how to actively get your unconscious mind on board with your new goals, it will very easily just pull you back into your old habits, and that's why it takes so much effort when you're not changing your unconscious mind.""In all of my 20 plus years of learning about personal development, I have never learned something more powerful than this simple four step process."Host Bio:Heather Grace Hanson is a coach with certifications in positive psychology and coaching the unconscious mind, as well as certifications in human design and astrology.

Transcribe →20: The Power of Curiosity
Mar 29, 202200:09:06Tap to summarizeIn today’s episode of Creating The Path, I’m talking about how powerful curiosity is and why we should develop it. This is because curiosity is at the heart of some of the most essential skills, like resilience and problem-solving. We all know how essential it is for us to be resilient because it helps us survive setbacks or difficult times coming out stronger, and empowers us to grow from those experiences. And when it comes to problem-solving, it is a much-needed skill in every area of our life. We always need to find a solution when we encounter a problem whether it’s small or trivial. So let’s highlight the power of curiosity in this episode. Topics discussed in this episode: [00:28] The power of curiosity and why it is one of the most important skills[01:03] How curiosity fuels resilience and problem solving[05:04] The difference between growth mindset and fixed mindset[06:54] Clarity in BusinessResources from the episode:Joyful Productivity VIP Day - If you're feeling overworked and overwhelmed, I can help you create a plan that allows you to be more productive while working less.

That's resilience.”“Problem-solving is an essential skill because it's needed in every area of our life.”“When you're in a fixed mindset, you're not likely to be curious, because you're probably just assuming that this is the way things are, and there's no way to change it.”“Most of us will have a mix of growth and fixed mindsets, in different areas of our life.”“If you can catch yourself and notice when you have a fixed mindset, or even just noticing when you have a problem that's difficult to solve, then you can bring curiosity to the situation, and start asking questions.”“Try to understand all the aspects of the problem, brainstorm all the possible solutions you can think of, even the ones that seem silly or stupid.”“Whenever we aren't sure what to do in our business, we talk about how we need clarity. And if you think about it, that is problem-solving. The problem is we don't know what to do. And clarity is the solution, or at least we think it is.”Host Bio:Heather Grace Hanson is a certified positive psychology-based coach and creator of the Intentional Energy Framework, a system that empowers you to create a life and business you love without burning out.
