Season 5 Ep 8: Self-Trust and Tuning Inwards with Fiona Wong

Season 5 Ep 8: Self-Trust and Tuning Inwards with Fiona Wong

Author: Lisa Kuzman June 10, 2021 Duration: 40:40

I'm super excited to share today's conversation with self-proclaimed weirdo and Human Design badass Fiona Wong. A student of multiple spiritual systems and groups, Fiona takes a heretical approach to the systems she practices. In other words: this ain't your mama's take on Human Design.

So if you've been on the fence (or even outright skeptical!) about Human Design, believe me when I say, this episode is 100% for you. Fiona and I talk about:

  • Her definition of Human Design (in both professional and, let's say, PG-13 terms)
  • how honoring your Human Design can help accentuate your true nature in a way that feels good
  • conditioning... and de-conditioning
  • applying the Human Design lens to your business (hint: think flexibility, and capacity)

...and a whole lot more, including a peek at MY Human Design profile!

"Human Design says, there really is nothing to follow here except yourself. And that is terrifying for a lot of us. A lot of people say, what's the next step? Give me an action step! Well, when is the last time you sat with yourself and heard your body? ...THAT is the action step I always tell people. Are you open to listening to your body? Your heart? Your own spirit, your sense of self?"

Fiona, thank you so so much for coming onto the show today! For those of you who want more from Fiona (which I assume is all of you), her Instagram will give you all the Human Design memes you never knew you needed: https://www.instagram.com/thewildpixel_/

There's a quiet shift happening in how we think about authority and influence, and New Wave Leadership Podcast is right at the heart of it. Host Lisa Kuzman believes traditional, top-down leadership models have run their course, proving ineffective for today's complex world. Instead, this movement champions a much broader, more inclusive vision. Each episode digs into the real, often unspoken challenges that come with stepping into a role of influence, whether you're in a corner office, a community group, or simply leading your own life. The conversations here actively work to expand our definition of who gets to be a leader, arguing passionately for the necessity of diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences at the helm. You'll hear frank discussions about authenticity, the personal hurdles leaders navigate behind closed doors, and practical ideas for cultivating your own unique leadership identity without conforming to outdated standards. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a necessary dialogue-one that moves beyond theory to explore what it genuinely means to show up and make an impact on your own terms.
