Find Yourself, Change Your Life
Big questions. Short conversations.
Find Yourself, Change Your Life is a podcast about making clearer decisions, navigating change, and coming back to yourself.
Hosted by Mary Clavieres, executive advisor, coach, author, and Human Design expert, each short, practical episode explores the questions that come up when you're growing, changing, or simply wondering what comes next.
Through practical tools, real-life experiences, mind-body practices, Human Design, and insights from Mary's work with leaders and individuals, you'll learn to quiet the overthinking, understand yourself more deeply, trust your own way of making decisions, and move through change with greater clarity and confidence.
Whether you're navigating a career or leadership transition, questioning what's next, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply wanting to live and lead in a way that feels more like you, you'll find practical ideas you can actually use.
Questions we explore:
• How do I stop overthinking a decision?
• How do I know what I really want?
• How can I tell the difference between fear and intuition?
• Why do I keep second-guessing myself?
• How do I navigate a major life or career transition?
• How can I reconnect with myself when I feel off or overwhelmed?
• What is the mind-body connection, and how can I use it in everyday life?
• How can Human Design help me understand myself and make decisions?
• How do I manage my energy without pushing myself toward burnout?
• How do I navigate change when I don't know exactly what's next?
