Inspired By Design With Katie Ruppert
Welcome to Inspired by Design with Katie Ruppert—a podcast for women ready to stop overthinking, trust themselves more, and take action on the life they actually want (without blowing it all up to get there).
If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along, like you’re juggling all the things but still unsure what’s next—or how to actually do it—you’re in the right place.
Each episode is here to inspire and empower you to take the action you've been holding back on, using practical tools you can try this week—not someday when things calm down.
You can expect simple shifts, real talk, and lessons learned from the middle of the messy journey—not the mountain top. She mixes mindset, Human Design, wellness, and everyday life to help you:
- Feel more ease and less resistance in your day-to-day
- Take small steps that lead to big change
- Navigate stress without self-doubt or burnout
- Use Human Design in a practical, fresh way (no fluff, no fancy)
- Trust your next right step—even if you’re still figuring it all out
Because change doesn’t have to be extreme to be powerful.
Let’s make it feel lighter, more doable, and designed for you.

Ditch the Duality, Stop it with the Boxes and Repeat after me: "Both-And"
Do you ever feel stuck choosing between a practical how-to and a wild, free, intuitive woo-whoo? What if you could have both? In this episode of Inspired by Design I share a bit about navigate life as an elder millennial—growing up without the Internet and coming of age with it—and how that unique perspective taught me to see the full spectrum of possibilities. I reveal how even my Human Design helps me balance the practical and the intuitive, even when faced with the black-and-white choices that can leave you overwhelmed.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- The Both-And Mindset: Why limiting yourself to just two options (the how-to or the woo-whoo) stifles creativity, and how embracing a spectrum of choices can unlock hidden possibilities.
- Real-Life Examples: Pop culture nuggets—from Billy Madison’s quirky shampoo/conditioner showdown to Joey’s unforgettable jam moment on Friends—illustrate how expanding your perspective leads to innovative solutions.
- Practical Brainstorming Tools: I share my favorite “popcorn ideas” exercise, a group brainstorming technique that helps you generate a big list of options, even when you think you only have two.
- A Human Design Tip: Learn how your unique design can reveal natural decision-making strengths, so you stop second-guessing and start moving confidently forward.
- A Call to Action: I invite you to experiment with these ideas and share your own examples of when you’ve chosen “both” over either/or thinking.
Whether you’re a high-achieving professional feeling boxed in by binary choices or simply looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is packed with insights to help you transform overwhelm into creative energy.
