<p>What if you&#39;re not broken—just misaligned? In this conversation, host Desiree Stanley sits down with Stefanie Carlstedt, a Certified Human Design Business Coach who helps entrepreneurs and teams ditch one-size-fits-all strategies and build success that actually fits. After 13 years of entrepreneurial trial-and-error, Stef discovered Human Design and everything changed. Now she helps others build businesses and lives that honor who they truly are—without the burnout and confusion.</p><p>Stef shares her personal journey from corporate burnout to building a six-figure business that left her feeling empty. When her father was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer&#39;s, she walked away from her social work career to be with him and started fresh. After his passing, a text from her sister-in-law about Human Design finally gave her the clarity she&#39;d been searching for—and transformed her business, her relationships, and her understanding of herself.</p><p>So what is Human Design? Unlike personality tests that rely on a conditioned mind, Human Design uses your birth date, time, and location to create a personalized chart showing how you&#39;re meant to move through the world. Stef breaks down the five energy types and explains why some people thrive with hustle while others burn out, why following someone else&#39;s blueprint rarely works, and how understanding your unique decision-making process can help you stop saying yes when your body is screaming no.</p><p>Whether you&#39;re an entrepreneur struggling to find your footing, a leader trying to support your team, or someone who&#39;s tired of feeling like life has to be so hard, this episode offers practical tools and a refreshing reminder: when you align with your true design, everything shifts.</p><p>Bio:</p><p>Stefanie Carlstedt is a Certified Human Design Business Coach for Entrepreneurs and Teams.
