In this episode of Give Yourself Grace, Grace sits down with Anna Nichols, the founder of the spiritual business incubator, best-selling author and a leading voice using human design as a framework for building a business that feels aligned, sustainable, and energetically true to who you are. With a background in MBA-level strategy and more than 15 years in business development, Anna blends grounded structure with intuitive self-understanding to help entrepreneurs create businesses that feel like an extension of their purpose, not a performance.

In this conversation, Anna shares how human design reshaped not only the way she runs her business, but the way she parents, leads and makes decisions in every area of life. From growing up in an immigrant family to building a new model of entrepreneurship rooted in alignment, she opens up about the moment she realized she was out of integrity with her own energy and how everything shifted when she began building from her design rather than against it.

Grace and Anna explore the five energy types, what alignment actually looks like in real life and why so many entrepreneurs experience burnout when following strategies that are not meant for them. This episode invites you to look at success through the lens of energetic truth not external standards.

Here are some key takeaways:

• You are designed to build your business in a way that matches your energy, not someone else’s playbook
• Human design is not personality, it is your energetic wiring
• Your type influences how you create, lead, communicate, and collaborate
• Alignment is clarity, not theory
• Working harder is rarely the solution, working correctly for your energy is
• Business becomes easier when you stop trying to be everything and start owning what you actually are
• Human design can completely transform relationships, especially in partnerships
• Your purpose is not something to search for, it is something you allow yourself to remember
• Giving yourself grace during transition is not weakness, it is awareness

Anna Nichols is a mentor, strategist, and creator of the spiritual business incubator, a step-by-step planning experience that helps entrepreneurs design a business model around their energetic blueprint. Her upcoming book, releasing October 6, offers a grounded approach to human design in business and teaches founders how to build from alignment rather than force.
