162. Why you keep trying to be just one thing — Mindy Crawford

Mindy Crawford is a human design coach, a mom and the founder of The Embodied Entrepreneur, and she’s back on All Figured Out for the third time. Andrea sat down with her in person in the Kelowna area to catch up on everything that’s changed since episodes 76 and 77, including a total pivot in Mindy’s business. They get into a human design refresher (energy types and all), why Mindy thought her business only counted if it was human design, why so many of us feel like we have to be just one thing, and the one part of her program where she won’t let AI anywhere near it.
