From Jillian Harris to human design with Mindy Crawford
Ep. 76 on the All Figured Out Podcast
What if there was a way to navigate your career and life that felt completely aligned—one that made decision-making easier, helped you understand your energy, and allowed you to create a rhythm that actually worked for you?
That’s exactly what Mindy Crawford helps people do with Human Design.
Mindy’s career path is nothing short of inspiring. She worked her way up in the corporate world, landed what seemed like a dream job as the Director of Digital Marketing for Jillian Harris, and spent seven years creating and innovating in that space. But in 2022, after becoming a mom, she made a bold decision: not to return to her job after maternity leave. Instead, she took a leap into entrepreneurship, building a business around helping others discover their Human Design and how it can guide them toward a more fulfilling and aligned life.
In this episode, we talk about:
• The decision to not to return to her role on Jillan Harris’ team after maternity leave
• How Mindy discovered Human Design and why it resonated so deeply with her
• The basics of Human Design—what it is, how it works, and what it can reveal about you
• How working parents can use their Human Design to navigate their careers and family life with more ease
What is Human Design?
If you’re new to the concept, Human Design is like a roadmap for understanding yourself. It combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and quantum physics to map out your unique energy type, decision-making strategy, and strengths. Instead of forcing yourself into career paths, schedules, or ways of working that don’t feel right, Human Design helps you work with your natural energy instead of against it.
Mindy breaks it down in this episode in a way that’s easy to understand—whether you’re deep into personal development or just dipping your toes into the world of self-discovery.
