#21. Stop Overplanning — Start Trusting: Lessons from a 5/2 leaning into an Incarnation Cross of Distraction Artwork

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.

#21. Stop Overplanning — Start Trusting: Lessons from a 5/2 leaning into an Incarnation Cross of Distraction

June 20, 2025 • Katie Ruppert • Season 1 • Episode 21

This week, I’m sharing some behind-the-scenes reflections as I build my Lighten Your Load Journey — a 6-week coaching container designed to help you move forward without overwhelm.

Do you want more from life—but aren’t sure where to start?

Do you try to make changes, but it feels like too much to add to your already full plate, so it keeps getting pushed aside? If that’s you… I created the Lighten Your Load Journey for exactly this moment.

This is a 6-week coaching experience designed to help you move forward without blowing up your life or adding more overwhelm.

It’s about small, doable actions that help you:
🌿 feel lighter
🌿 show up authentically
🌿 use your energy in ways that actually work for you

Here’s what’s included:

✅ 3 private, customized 1:1 coaching sessions with me

Human Design Mini Session (type, strategy, authority + how to apply it right now)
Ayurvedic Dosha Coaching Call (how to eat, move, and rest in ways that support YOUR energy)
Life Strategy Session (get clarity + a simple plan that fits your real life)

✅ 4 group coaching calls (live support, connection, small steps that make a big difference)

✅ Private FB group with daily mindset, movement, breathwork + journaling moments
(daily support that meets you where you are — not a to-do list!)

👉 There’s room for just 3 more people. And if you grab your spot today, you get the 60% off beta price: just $97.
