What if the key to building a business that finally feels right has been in your blueprint since birth? In this episode, I sit down with Human Design coach Nicoline Huizinga (whose insights have been shaking up the Costa Women Business Growth Circle this year) to explore how understanding your unique energetic wiring can transform the way you work, create, and make decisions.

Nicoline breaks down what Human Design really is (and why it’s not just “woo”), how it blends ancient systems with modern science, and why it offers a level of accuracy she never found in traditional personality assessments. She shares her own journey from chasing every “proven” business blueprint to discovering she’s a Generator designed to wait and respond; a shift that changed everything.

Together, they dive into:

• How Human Design reveals your strengths, sensitivities, and decision-making style
• Why so many entrepreneurs get stuck following strategies that don’t fit them
• What happens when you stop forcing and start responding
• The reality of roadblocks, failed launches, and the power of experimentation
• How Nicoline uses AI wisely in her Human Design work
• Her experience of losing her Facebook account overnight—and building a business that doesn’t rely on social media

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing everything right” but not getting results, this conversation offers fresh clarity and real permission to build your business your way.

Tune in and discover why your Human Design might be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.

Welcome back to the Make It Happen by Being You podcast. I’m your host, Ali Meehan, and today I’m joined by Michele Collison, co-founder of Mindshift Theory.

Originally from South Africa, Michele has lived across three continents; the UK, Switzerland, the US, and now Spain, creating a life and business that reflect true freedom and intention. Together with her husband, Riccardo, she teaches women how to build wealth in every sense of the word: financially, personally and emotionally.

In our conversation, Michele shares how shifting your relationship with money can open up time, choice, and calm. She talks about the journey from corporate stress in San Francisco to a life designed around freedom on the Spanish coast. Michele shares how she now helps women make money work harder for them, rather than the other way around.

💡 You’ll learn:

• How to use your mind to create wealth and freedom
• Why mindset is the biggest business block (and how to overcome it)
• Why you already have the answers inside you, you just need the right questions

We dive into what money really means, how mindset shapes wealth, and why creating abundance starts from within. Michele also opens up about her own business roadblocks, her evolving definition of success, and the launch of a women’s wealth program to help others build the same sense of financial empowerment and peace she’s found.

If you’ve ever felt that money holds you back or that you’re working harder than your bank balance shows, this episode will change the way you see both.

And Michele's book recommendation for any friend who's hiding her greatness from the world, is Susana Serrano-Davey's new book "Self-confidence is Over-rated"- a perfect gift.
