Have you ever sat in total frustration thinking, “Why can’t I keep up?” or “What’s wrong with me?” You’ve done the supplements, the hormone testing, the self-care. You’re trying all the “right” things, and yet you're still exhausted, still not yourself.

This conversation with Human Design expert Aviva Joffe is the permission slip so many of us need. After walking away from a career in New York fashion, feeling completely burnt out, Aviva returned to Melbourne and discovered Human Design in the quiet of the pandemic. It was a full-body exhale. Her chart explained the way she naturally functions something she’d always felt but never understood.

Now, Aviva helps others do the same. Whether you’re navigating a career change, relationship shift, or hormonal rollercoaster, this episode will help you understand your energy, trust your intuition, and stop living by rules that were never meant for you.

Key Takeaways

Your energy type matters – Understanding how you’re built to operate helps you stop burning out and start thriving.

Burnout isn’t always hormonal – Many women are energetically misaligned, not broken.

Stop comparing – You weren’t meant to work, rest, or parent like anyone else.

Live by your design – When you align with your natural energy, decision-making gets easier.

Clarity over hustle – Human Design helps you work smarter by honoring your internal compass.

Self-trust is everything – You don’t need to be fixed. You need to remember who you are.

After being diagnosed with premature menopause, going through failed IVF rounds, and sitting with the grief of it all, Jennifer Edmonds was told her chances of having another baby were close to none. But her body had other plans.

During the stillness of lockdown, Jennifer stumbled across fertility yoga. She wasn’t chasing results anymore. She was simply giving herself permission to pause. What followed was a profound shift in her health, her nervous system, and eventually a natural pregnancy she never thought possible. We talked about medical misdiagnosis, cortisol, trauma, and how powerful it can be to tune back into the rhythms of your own body.

For any woman who’s ever felt like the system has failed her, or her body has let her down, Jennifer’s story is one of possibility, self-trust, and unexpected healing.

Key Takeaways

Misdiagnosis Isn’t the End – Jennifer was told she was in menopause, but her body proved otherwise once it had the space and support to heal.

Nervous System First – Chronic stress, insomnia, and hormone imbalance all began to shift when Jennifer focused on calming her nervous system.

Fertility Yoga with Purpose – Matching movement to each phase of the cycle helped regulate hormones, improve sleep, and bring the body back into rhythm.

Doing Less to Heal More – Letting go of constant appointments, supplements, and pressure gave her body room to do what it was designed to do.

Safety Over Strategy – It wasn’t another protocol that worked—it was the embodied feeling of safety that allowed her body to conceive.

From Pressure to Possibility – When she stopped pushing and surrendered to presence, the path to natural conception became clear.

You’ve been told your hormone blood tests are “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, bloated, moody, or just plain off. So... what gives?

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down exactly why conventional blood testing often fails to give women real answers about their hormone health. If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office with results that don’t match how you actually feel, this conversation is for you. I’ll walk you through the common gaps in standard testing, how reference ranges are outdated, and why your symptoms matter more than the numbers on a lab report.

It’s time to stop settling for confusion. You deserve better answers, and it starts with asking the right questions, and knowing what kind of testing will really support your healing.

Key Takeaways

Your symptoms speak louder than your labs – How you feel is always more important than what the paper says.

Standard blood tests miss key hormones – Many GPs only order basic panels, skipping critical markers like progesterone, T3, and thyroid antibodies.

Outdated reference ranges distort results – Most labs still use old ranges, especially for thyroid, leaving many women misdiagnosed or ignored.

You can ask for better testing – Functional ranges and cycle-aware hormone testing reveal far more than generic bloodwork.

Test timing makes or breaks results – Day 21 or 7 days post-ovulation is ideal for sex hormone testing; thyroid should be tested consistently at the same time.

Invest in the right eyes – Independent labs and expert interpretation are often the only way to get real clarity about your hormones.
