Hopeful and Wholesome: Wellness, Human Design & Somatic Healing for High-Achieving Women and Entrepreneurs
You were never meant to override yourself into success.
The Hopeful & Wholesome Podcast is where high-achieving women and female entrepreneurs come back to their bodies, and start asking the question nobody else is asking: what if the system itself is making you sick?
Host Hope Pedraza — Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design Guide, NLP Practitioner, and Reiki Practitioner — brings weekly conversations at the intersection of functional health for women, Human Design, nervous system healing, and the deconstruction of everything that taught you to abandon yourself in the first place.
This is where we stop seeing burnout as a personal failure and see it as a predictable outcome of systems — hustle culture, purity culture, performance culture, and patriarchal conditioning — that were never designed with your body in mind.
Each week we go deep on:
- Functional labs, hormone health, and root-cause healing for women
- Human Design embodiment, energetics, and body intelligence
- Nervous system regulation and somatic healing for high achievers
- Subconscious reprogramming, NLP, and reclaiming inner authority
- Deconditioning from religious trauma, patriarchal systems, and "good girl" programming
- Burnout recovery, women's wellness, and the fully reclaimed woman
This is for the woman who's done being good, done being small, and ready to understand, at the root, why her body has been carrying what her culture never let her put down.
This is where the reclamation begins: from the inside out.

Astrology for Purpose and Business: How to Use Your Birth Chart to Align Your Work With Your Soul's Message
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You’ve done the mindset work.
You’ve studied Human Design.
You’ve tried to “show up consistently.”
But something still feels… off.
In this powerful and nuanced conversation, I sit down with marketing and communications expert Kathryn Thompson, founder of Creatively Owned, to explore how astrology reveals how you’re actually designed to express your message — especially as an entrepreneur with a mission.
We dive deep into:
- Why some women feel exhausted by social media
- Why “authority” messaging may not feel aligned
- The internal friction between bold leadership and poetic sensitivity
- How your birth chart reveals your authentic communication style
- The nervous system safety required to show up fully
If you’re a purpose-driven, spiritually curious entrepreneur who wants to express your message without contorting yourself into someone else’s strategy… this episode will unlock something profound.
This conversation blends astrology, Human Design, purpose work, and embodied business in a way that will change how you see yourself — and your message.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- How your Rising Sign shapes how you show up in the world
- Why your Mercury placement reveals how you’re meant to communicate
- What your 10th House and Midheaven say about your vocation and legacy
- How your Moon sign influences nervous system safety and visibility
- Why some entrepreneurs thrive in long-form platforms like podcasts and Substack (and struggle with short-form content)
- The role of astrology in authentic marketing and brand expression
- How conditioning keeps high-achieving women stuck in “should” energy
- Why blending your opposites creates magnetism
- The importance of inner trust in living your purpose
