Delusional! Big Dreams, Real Stories with Michelle Coyle
Delusional! Big Dreams, Real Stories with Michelle Coyle (formerly known as Seekers and Shifters) is a podcast about the blurry line between dreaming big and losing your mind. (Spoiler: anyone who has ever achieved anything probably did a little of both.)
We sit down with founders, creatives, and visionaries who bet on themselves—often when no one else would. These are the behind-the-scenes stories of people who went for it anyway. The goal? To remind you that the path to something extraordinary almost always looks “delusional” at the start.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of Seekers & Shifters! Today, we dive deep into the world of human design, NLP, and transformational coaching with our guest, Heather Vickery. Heather, a transformational success coach, specializes in helping high-achieving women embrace continuous growth both personally and professionally.
In this episode, Heather shares her unique approach, which blends positive psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), human design, and subconscious reprogramming. We'll explore Michelle's revelation of being a "projector" in human design and the common misconceptions around waiting for invitations while discussing how various ancient philosophies and modern sciences come together in this fascinating field.
Heather provides real-life success stories, and discusses the intricate balance of trauma-informed coaching, where recognizing patterns in behavior becomes crucial. We also dive into generational differences in understanding boundaries, the importance of consent, and the dynamics of people-pleasing.
This episode is packed with insights on managing emotions, healthy emotional expression, and self-awareness. Heather talks about her book "The Brave Method," reflecting on continuous adaptation in life and business. We wrap up with Heather's personal anecdotes, entrepreneurial insights, and resources for those new to human design.
