"You're a strong candidate, BUT you're just not the right fit." For senior executives, this phrase is one of the most common reasons job offers fall apart—and one of the least understood. In this episode, we break down what "not the right fit" actually means at leadership levels and why it has very little to do with your resume or qualifications. Senior hiring decisions are driven by trust and resonance, not credentials. You'll learn why highly polished, impressive candidates often lose to less-experienced ones, the difference between performance and recognition in interviews, and the three dimensions of resonance that determine who gets hired. If you keep making final rounds but not closing (or feel misaligned in roles that look perfect on paper) this episode will change how you approach your job search.

On paper, Vickie and her business partner Lisa look almost identical in Human Design: they are both 2/4 Manifesting Generators. Same Type. Same Profile. Same label.But in real life, they move through business very differently.In this episode of Unjaded, Vickie walks you through a side by side chart comparison to show you just how nuanced Human Design really is. She breaks down the differences in their channels, Centres, definition, and energy so you can stop reducing yourself to “just” your Type and Profile and start understanding how your specific design actually wants to operate.You will hear how things like a defined Root vs undefined Root, split definition vs single definition, and an undefined G Centre vs a heavily defined G Centre change the way two “identical” 2/4 Manifesting Generators experience pressure, direction, identity, pace, and partnership in business.If you have ever wondered why you do not resonate with generic Human Design Type descriptions, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why “I'm a 2/4 Manifesting Generator” is just the beginning of your Human Design storyHow the 2/4 profile actually shows up in real life through community, hermitting, and long term relationshipsWhat happens when two big Manifesting Generator auras share a business and a physical spaceHow the 34–57 channel (powerful intuitive response) operates differently than the 34–20 channel of charismaThe impact of defined vs undefined Root Centres on pressure, urgency, and getting things doneHow split definition vs single definition changes the way you process, decide, and move in businessWhy an undefined G Centre questions identity and direction while a defined G Centre quietly holds the lineHow dormant gates get “lit up” in relationship and what that means for your patterns in intimacy, boundaries, and conflictPractical ways to use Human Design in partnership so you stop expecting other people to work exactly like youKey Takeaway:Two people can share the same Type and Profile and still be wired completely differently. The power of Human Design is in the nuances, not the label. When you understand your actual mechanics, you stop making yourself wrong and start building your business in a way that honours how your energy is really built to work.Links and Resources:Book a Human Design Reading with Vickie here.

Many clinics deliver exceptional patient care, yet still struggle to attract new patients. Why? Because patients can't “see” your value unless your brand communicates it clearly. In this episode, Beyond Your Logo: How to Become the ‘Only' Choice in Your Niche With Your Brand, we sit down with Graeme Gladman, Founder of BrandQuest, to explore how a well-defined brand story becomes your most powerful patient-acquisition tool. Graeme brings more than 30 years of expertise in brand strategy, creative direction, and marketing leadership, having developed brand stories for over 200 businesses. Today, he explains why so many medical practices unintentionally blend into the “same, same, same” online landscape and what it takes to stand out in a meaningful and strategic way. In this episode, Graeme shares insights on: Why most medical clinic brands look and sound identical • The critical difference between branding and marketing • How patients actually choose their medical practice • Why your ‘WHY Story' creates stronger loyalty than your services • The most common branding mistakes clinics make • How authentic differentiation turns a practice into the first—and only—choice • What the “Brand Within” is and how BrandQuest uncovers it • Actionable steps to reveal your clinic's unique identity and narrative • How strong branding increases referrals, trust, and long-term practice growth If you're committed to growing your practice, elevating your reputation, and attracting patients who align with your values, this episode is essential. BONUS: Free 15-Minute Consultation With Graeme Graeme is offering listeners a free 15-minute brand clarity consultation to help you identify gaps, ask questions, and understand how your clinic can stand out more effectively.

Why do some business systems work for everyone else but drain YOU? In this episode, I'm breaking down why I use birth charts in business strategy - and why it's not woo, it's pattern recognition. I walk you through my exact 4-step framework for identifying why certain systems don't work for your wiring, plus three real client examples: the founder who couldn't batch content (Pisces Moon), the founder who needed structure to thrive (Virgo Sun/Rising), and the founder who lost her purpose (and how her chart showed the way back). If you've been forcing batching, rigid 90-day plans, or "just be consistent" strategies that feel exhausting - your chart probably explains why. This episode teaches you how to build systems around YOUR actual wiring, not someone else's blueprint.
