(#98) AI Gave Me the Permission Slip I Didn’t Know I Needed | Human Design, Sound Healing and Business Alignment

In this life and business update, I’m sharing how exploring my Human Design and astrology profile through AI helped me realign my sound healing business and trust the path that has always felt most natural.

After stepping back during maternity leave, I’ve been questioning why some parts of my business flowed easily, like holding sound baths and teaching sound healing, while other things felt like pushing uphill. When I looked at my Human Design and astrology more deeply, alongside a ChatGPT prompt, it became clear that my work is meant to begin with regulation, embodiment, and frequency first.

In this episode I share the realisation that changed how I see my work, my business and this current season of life as a mum of two young children.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re on the right path in your life or business, this episode is a reminder that sometimes the answers are already within you.

AI Gave Me the Permission Slip I Didn’t Know I Needed

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome back to the Alchemy Mindset Podcast.

I’m your host, Anna Hastie, and I am so pleased to be here.

I want to start by saying that AI may have just given me the biggest permission slip I didn’t realise I needed, and it has completely changed the way I’m looking at my life and business.

Honestly, it feels so good to be back behind the mic. I’m sitting here in my beautiful babe cave and I have so much to share with you today.

I’ve written out all my notes for this podcast and there is a lot to go through because… where have I been?

Firstly, I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who listened to the last episode, revisited old episodes, or found the podcast for the first time while I’ve been a little quieter.

I haven’t really been missing in action. I’ve simply been on maternity leave and taking time to adjust to being a mum of two.

If you heard Episode 97 where I shared my IVF journey and Isla’s birth story, she is now one year old.

Can you believe that?

I honestly cannot.

It is wild how you can have two babies and they can be so completely different in every single way. I have two girls and they are both so unique. It’s beautiful, challenging, refreshing, exhausting, and amazing all at the same time.

Going from one child to two was definitely a huge adjustment.

You think you’re prepared… and then suddenly you’re relearning motherhood all over again.

Now I have a toddler climbing everything in sight. I swear Isla hits her head at least five times a day and somehow keeps going.

But anyway, I digress.

This episode is really a life and business update because I’ve been absent for a while, and I want to share where I’ve been, what’s been happening, and what unexpectedly shifted for me when I started looking more deeply at my Human Design and astrology profile alongside AI.

What came back felt like the biggest permission slip of my life.

It gave language to feelings I’d already been having internally.

And honestly?

It felt like one giant exhale.

Stepping Away During Maternity Leave

Let’s rewind back about a year.

When Isla was born, I really felt like I needed to completely down tools and step away from work.

I even deleted Instagram off my phone because I didn’t want the distraction. I didn’t want to see what everyone else was doing. I didn’t want to feel pulled into the online world.

And honestly?

It felt amazing.

At the same time, though, I still thought about work constantly.

I had ideas. I had voice notes. I had downloads. I had things I wanted to share.

That’s why I know podcasting is still something I’m meant to do because even when I wasn’t actively recording, I was still talking into my phone, saving little ideas and reflections.

Quite early into maternity leave, I had a coaching call with someone I’d spoken to years ago.

It was really more of a catch up conversation.

And while the conversation itself was nice, there was one thing they said that just didn’t sit right with me.

They suggested that even while on maternity leave, I should still post occasionally on social media and keep showing up so people knew I was still around.

And immediately I thought… no.

That’s not what I want.

I wanted to fully step away.

I wanted to be present with my girls.

I didn’t want to sit there breastfeeding while trying to send emails one handed like I did after having Ava.

That never felt good for me.

I truly believed that if my community and clients were aligned for me, they would still be there when I returned.

And if they weren’t?

Then maybe they simply weren’t meant to stay in my world.

To me, constantly forcing myself to stay visible out of fear felt like a lack mindset.

Not abundance.

At the time, I also felt deeply depleted.

I was tired. I was craving deep rest. I wanted space to recalibrate.

And intuitively, I kept feeling like I wasn’t really meant to fully come back online until February.

Interestingly, my energy healer Carrie reflected the exact same thing back to me.

She said:

“You’re not meant to be working until February.”

And I remember thinking:

“I know… but financially I still need to work.”

So I ended up coming back earlier than I originally felt called to.

The Tension Between Motherhood and Business

As I slowly stepped back into work, I did some beautiful sound bath collaborations and events.

But even while doing them, there was this constant feeling underneath it all:

“Am I really meant to be doing this much right now?”

Because every time I left the house to work, I could feel Isla wanting me.

Even if Fran was fully capable of caring for the girls, I still felt this energetic pull from her.

It was like she was saying:

“Why are you leaving?”

And emotionally, that really tugged at my heart.

At the same time, I think part of me still believed I could operate in business the same way I did when I only had one child.

But motherhood with two children is completely different.

Especially when your children aren’t in daycare.

I was still trying to think like the version of me who had huge pockets of flexibility and freedom.

But the reality was different.

And eventually, I had to admit that.

The Course That Forced Me to Slow Down

At the end of last year, I ran my Introduction to Sound Bath Healing course.

Usually, my launches flow really well.

But this one felt hard.

I did all the normal marketing. I sent the emails. I promoted it. I showed up.

But deep down?

I don’t think I was fully invested energetically.

And then Isla got really sick the weekend the course was meant to happen.

So I had to postpone it.

And what’s interesting is that once I delayed it by two weeks, the remaining places filled really easily.

It was effortless.

And that experience became another reminder that maybe I didn’t need to force things.

Maybe I needed to stop pushing.

A friend eventually asked me:

“Do you really think you should be doing this much right now?”

And honestly?

That question landed.

Because the truth was, I didn’t want to be doing so much.

So I started deleting things.

I removed dates. I cancelled plans. I cleared things out.

And as soon as I did, I felt lighter.

I realised:

It’s okay if this isn’t the season for massive expansion.

It can happen later.

My 2025 Theme: Money Mindset

I tend to give each year a theme.

One year it was marketing. Another year it was visibility.

And 2025 became my year of money mindset.

I did a lot of work around my beliefs about money, success, wealth, receiving, and abundance.

I worked with Marley Rose, who is a money mindset and manifestation coach.

I joined some of her courses, used her Higher Self app, and even had a VIP day with her.

And honestly, I’m so glad I did that work because by the end of 2025 we had some really positive financial outcomes around investments and opportunities.

Everything aligned at the right time.

It really reinforced to me how important inner work around money actually is.

The AI Prompt That Changed Everything

Towards the end of the year, I started using a GPT prompt created by Carla Marie called the Seven Figure Business Blueprint.

The prompt uses your Human Design and astrology profile to help reflect back business strategies and alignment based on your energetic blueprint.

And before anyone rolls their eyes, hear me out.

I had already been using ChatGPT casually to ask questions about my astrology and Human Design.

Things like:

“What does this transit mean for me?” “What does this placement represent?” “Why do I feel this way lately?”

And I was getting surprisingly insightful reflections.

So when I saw this blueprint prompt, I thought:

“You know what? I’m curious.”

And honestly?

My mind was blown.

Because what it reflected back to me were things I had already been intuitively feeling for years.

It validated them.

It gave me permission to stop forcing things that didn’t feel aligned.

And that permission slip changed everything.

Understanding My Human Design

For those who love Human Design and astrology, here’s the quick version.

I’m a Sacral Generator.

Which means my energy works best when I respond to what genuinely lights me up instead of forcing, chasing, or pushing.

And right now?

My energy simply hasn’t been fully online.

I genuinely feel like I’ve been operating at maybe fifty percent capacity.

That’s why trying to lead multiple projects, launches, and big business goals felt exhausting.

I also have a 1/3 profile.

Which essentially means I’m here to deeply study things, experiment through lived experience, refine what works, and then share those lessons with others.

And when I looked back over my entire life and business, I realised:

That’s exactly what I’ve been doing.

I learn. I experiment. I test. I refine. I improve. Then I share.

That is literally how I operate.

And once I understood that, so many things started making sense.

Why Mindset Coaching Never Fully Landed

This was the biggest revelation.

I love mindset work.

I study it. I live it. I teach elements of it.

But every single time I tried to make mindset coaching the main focus of my business, something felt off.

I could never get sound healing and mindset coaching to fully gel together in the way I thought they should.

It felt like they were constantly competing against each other.

And because I could see other people doing it successfully, I kept thinking:

“What’s wrong with me?”

“Why can’t I make this work?”

But what the GPT prompt reflected back to me was this:

Mindset is not actually the front door of my work.

Sound is.

And that changed everything.

Because when people experience sound first — when they regulate their nervous system, reconnect with themselves, soften into their body, and finally exhale — their mindset naturally shifts afterwards.

That is the pathway.

Not the other way around.

So now I see my work like this:

Sound first. Frequency first. Then clarity. Then intuition. Then mindset.

And honestly?

That felt like the deepest exhale.

Because suddenly everything made sense.

Frequency First

The pathway now feels so much clearer.

People may first experience one of my sound baths.

From there, curiosity opens.

Then maybe they join the Introduction to Sound Bath Healing. Then perhaps the Level One Practitioner Training. Then potentially deeper mentorship or embodiment work later on.

But the entry point is sound.

Not coaching.

Not strategy.

Not mindset.

And when I fully allowed myself to acknowledge that, it felt like coming home to myself.

What’s Happening Now

So what does business look like moving forward?

Honestly?

I’m quietly rebuilding a lot behind the scenes.

I’m deleting things. Archiving things. Refining things. Simplifying things.

And what’s emerging feels lighter.

It feels more aligned.

The focus moving forward will be:

• Group sound baths • Online sound baths returning later this year • The Introduction to Sound Bath Healing returning both in person and online • Level One Practitioner Training • Potential future mentorship containers

And all of it feels grounded in frequency first.

Not force.

My Focus for 2026

This year is not about money mindset for me.

This year is about health.

Rest. Regulation. Healing. Strengthening my body.

I’ve been doing Pilates. Working with a naturopath. Preparing to deeply support my health once I finish breastfeeding.

And honestly?

I don’t feel like I’ll be fully back online energetically until around May or June.

The second half of the year feels much more expansive.

But right now, this season is asking me to slow down.

And I’m finally listening.

Final Reflections

The biggest takeaway from all of this is learning to trust your intuition.

To trust what your body is telling you.

To trust the quiet nudges.

And if you need a coach, a mentor, a Human Design reading, astrology, or even an AI prompt to help reflect things back to you, that’s okay.

Sometimes we simply need support seeing what has been inside us all along.

The things that come naturally to us are often the things we question the most because they feel too easy.

But maybe the ease is actually the clue.

Maybe the thing that flows naturally is the thing we’re actually meant to lean into.

For me, that’s sound.

It’s teaching. It’s holding space. It’s helping people regulate and reconnect.

And now?

I’m finally allowing that to fully lead the way.

Thank you so much for being here with me today and for being part of this beautiful community.

Until next time, take a moment to slow down, breathe, reconnect to yourself, and keep tuning into the frequency that feels most true for you.

Bye.
