Summary of the episode

In this episode of noseyAF, I sit down with Heather Vickery to talk about human design—not in a super spiritual way, but in a real-world, practical, “okay, so what do I do with this?” kind of way.

Heather walks me through the basics of human design and how it can help us understand ourselves a little better. We also talk about bravery—not as something loud and dramatic, but as the small decisions to do things differently, even when it’s uncomfortable. Heather shares her BRAVE Method™, and we look at how it can support change, clarity, and taking responsibility without beating yourself up.

This episode first aired on Lumpen Radio (WLPN 105.5 FM Chicago) on Saturday, July 26, 2025, as part of their community broadcast lineup.

Things We Mentioned

All about Heather:

Heather is one of those people who’s good at asking questions that make you think without making you feel bad about not knowing the answers.

She’s a coach, a speaker, and someone who used to live life by the book—until she decided to throw out the book and figure out what worked for her. Now she helps other people do the same using her BRAVE Method™, a tool that mixes reflection, decision-making, and a lot of self-trust. She’s into helping people lead lives that feel right instead of ones that just look good on paper.
