Inspired By Design with Katie Ruppert

10/29/2026

Let's talk about being "the dependable one." 🙋‍♀️
Have you ever realized you said YES to something not because you actually wanted to... but because you didn't want to disappoint someone?
Or because you're the one who always gets things done?
I'm exploring this in this week's podcast episode about the Human Design Ego Center, and there's a question I that can be quite telling...
Would I still choose this if nobody knew I did it?
which one of these tends to "get" you most often?
❤️ Not wanting to disappoint someone
💪 Wanting to prove you can do it
👏 Wanting the recognition or approval
😅 Saying yes before you've even thought about it
Or something else?
No wrong answers. As you'll see in this week's episode, I'm right there experimenting with you!

What's a version of yourself you've outgrown, but maybe you're still trying to live up to?
Maybe you're "the responsible one," "the people pleaser," "the high achiever," or the person who always has everything figured out.
In this week's podcast, I talked about how our identity can become wrapped up in the roles we play and the expectations we've picked up along the way.
And sometimes, even when we've changed, we're still trying to squeeze ourselves into that old box.
So Do Tell...
What's one label or expectation you've given yourself permission to let go of?

Or maybe one you're working on letting go of right now?

I'd love to hear what comes up for you. 💚

What if finding yourself isn't actually the goal? What if it's abou...

Here's your experiment:
Think about ONE thing you're currently feeling pressure to do.
Maybe it's work.
Cleaning.
Money.
A deadline.
Getting back to someone.
A goal you've set for yourself.
Then ask yourself:
1. Is there actually a deadline?
2. Whose urgency am I carrying?
3. What would I do if I didn't need pressure to make me do it?
You don't have to decide anything or fix anything.
Just notice.
And if you want to share, tell me:
What did you discover when you took the pressure out of the equation?

I'm especially curious about what happens when you realize there isn't actually anything terrible waiting for you on the other side of not getting it done today. 😉

What If You Don’t Need Pressure to Get Things Done?Have you ever t...

New Episode on Human Design Centers:

What If Overthinking Isn't the Problem? Your Mind Wasn't Meant to R...

🎧 NEW EPISODE QUESTION:

What if that's not actually you?
👇 Finish this sentence:
I've always thought I was ________, but lately I'm wondering if ________.

I want to take the conversation from this week's podcast episode into the group.
Think about something you've said about yourself so many times that it feels like a fact:

“I’m an overthinker.”

“I’m too sensitive.”

“I have to stay busy.”

“I need people to like me.”

“I’m indecisive.”

“I have to prove myself.”

“I can’t relax until everything is done.”

Now get curious:

**What if that's not actually YOU?**
Maybe it's something you learned.
Maybe it's something you picked up from the people around you.
Maybe it's a pattern that once helped you feel safe or accepted.

You don't have to figure it out or fix it.

Just notice.

👇 Finish this sentence:
I've always thought I was ________, but lately I'm wondering if ________.

And if you haven't listened to this week's episode yet, go give it a listen first! ❤️

What If That’s Not Actually You? Can you tell the difference betw...

Here's this week's episode and congrats to the winner of the free Human Design Session! https://youtu.be/1CsQ4ueB9sM

Big News! I'm completing my Integrated Human Design Certification with Nicole Laino. I’m incredibly grateful to have studied under her! This training has given me a new level of tools for how I approach Human Design readings.

After a reading…

Yes, you’ll feel seen. You may even say “That is SO me!” or “You just explained my whole life!”

Yes, you’ll get validation for what you already know down deep inside.

Yes, my lovely details people, you’ll have something you can read afterwards. 😉

But what I really want to do is help you PRACTICALLY apply it to your everyday life.

Living my Human Design changed my life in ways I thought were beyond what was fair to dream for. It helped me let go of what wasn’t mine to carry. It lightened the heaviness of hustle, overwhelm, and constantly leveling up.

You deserve to understand your unique design—and know there’s another way.

So what if I can help you understand what to actually DO with the information in your everyday life?

In these sessions, we’ll explore:
✨ How all the details of your design work together
✨ What to do when they seem to contradict each other
✨ How to use your unique energy, decision-making style & natural gifts without blowing up your life
✨ How Human Design can become a practical tool for understanding yourself, making decisions, and ultimately lightening your load

These brand-new Human Design Integration Sessions are launching in September. ❤️

To celebrate this new chapter and get some real-life feedback on this new style of reading…

🎁 I’M GIVING ONE AWAY FOR FREE!
One lucky person will be one of the very first to experience a 45-minute Integration Session—FREE!

And you don’t have to be new to Human Design!

Maybe you’ve never had a reading before.

Or maybe you’ve had a reading (even with me!) and you’re thinking:

“Okay, I know my Human Design…but how do I actually LIVE it?”

This is for you, too.

TWO WAYS TO ENTER:

✨ Share this post to your story + tag me

✨ Comment below with ONE thing you’re curious about when it comes to your Human Design

Do both = 2 entries!

I’ll draw the winner LIVE on my podcast on August 28! 🎙️

When was the last time you followed a little “yes” without knowing where it would lead? I'm sharing mine in today's episode of Inspired By Design with Katie Conway Ruppert

Maybe you said yes to an invitation, went somewhere alone, followed a random curiosity, talked to a stranger, changed plans, or did something simply because your body said “let's go.”

What happened next?

Did it lead somewhere unexpected?

If you know your Human Design, do you know what your Strategy + Authority say about how you're designed to move through those moments?

What If You Stopped Trying to Make Life Happen?What if you stopped...

Have you ever wondered if your body has been trying to tell you something?

Maybe that tension in your shoulders.
The exhaustion.
The anxiety.
The pattern that just keeps showing up.

This week's episode of Inspired by Design is a conversation with Jackie King about energy healing, trapped emotions, limiting beliefs, and learning to listen to your body with curiosity instead of judgment.

You don't have to believe everything to be open to asking better questions.

Sometimes healing starts there.
