Description
You were never meant to override yourself into success.
The Hopeful & Wholesome Podcast is the space where high-achieving women come back to their bodies and find that's where the deeper, richer, more expansive life was waiting all along.
Host Hope Pedraza — Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design Guide, NLP Practitioner, and Reiki Practitioner — brings weekly conversations at the intersection of functional health, human design, and soul-led living.
Each week we go deep on:
- Functional labs, hormones, and root cause healing
- Human Design, energetics, and body intelligence
- Nervous system regulation and somatic healing
- Subconscious reprogramming and inner authority
- Pleasure, intuition, and the fully reclaimed woman
Join Hope and her inspiring guests for transformative conversations designed to help you live your best life with hope and purpose.
This is where the reclamation begins: from the inside out.

We're going deep on the thick line between healing and avoiding, why high-achieving women get addicted to dopamine without ever touching a substance, and how the Healy device gave Krystal a reading that completely rewire...
