  • 59. Receptive Minds, Resistance, and Re-Becoming

    In this solo episode, Erin steps behind the mic without a script to share raw reflections on what it means to live as a fully receptive being in Human Design.


    From exploring how strategic and receptive minds actually process information, to surrendering when the mind tries to force decisions, Erin reveals how resistance shows up in both body and life - and what it teaches when we stop pushing.


    She opens up about Portugal, Puerto Rico, and her winding path with visas and business decisions, the lessons in letting go, and a flood of emotion that surfaced when reconnecting with a soul-friend from her Sri Lanka years. This chapter of her story carries themes of grief, gratitude, freedom, and the ongoing cycles of unbecoming and re-becoming.


    If you’ve ever felt caught between your mind’s plans and your body’s truth, or wrestled with closing a chapter that shaped you deeply, this episode offers both resonance and relief.


    Listen in for:

    • The difference between strategic and receptive minds in Human Design
    • Why collaboration is essential for receptive thinkers
    • How resistance signals misalignment
    • A candid story of grief surfacing four years later
    • What it means to continually re-become

    This is Erin, unfiltered.

  • 58. The Reflector Experience: Sensitivity as a Superpower

    In our first ever conversation with a Reflector, Bee sits down with Emily to explore what it really feels like to live with this rare Human Design type - only 1% of the population.


    But this conversation isn’t just for Reflectors.


    If you’ve ever felt deeply affected by your environment, drained by certain people, or unsure how to protect your energy without closing yourself off - you’ll find yourself in Emily’s story.


    They dive into:

    • Navigating the highs and lows of absorbing other people’s energy
    • How environment and the people you’re with can completely shift your state
    • The role of alcohol in numbing versus amplifying energy
    • Building stronger boundaries without losing connection
    • The 28-day lunar cycle for decision-making (and why it’s been life-changing)
    • Structuring business and life around cycles and energy flow

    This episode offers a rare inside look at the Reflector experience - from overstimulation to superpowers - and how self-awareness transforms everything.


    Whether you’re a Reflector or not, Emily’s insights will have you rethinking the way you manage your own energy.

  • 56. The Path Finds You: Jack Purdy on Sabbaticals, Sacral Decisions, and Walking 500 Miles

    Jack Purdy is back for round three - and this time, he’s fresh off a six-week sabbatical walking 500 miles across Spain on the Camino de Santiago. What started as a spontaneous sacral nudge became a full-blown rite of passage.


    This episode dives into what happens when you stop outsourcing clarity and start letting discomfort guide you.


    Jack (a 4/6 Sacral Generator) shares what the Camino stripped away, what it revealed, and how the experience reshaped his relationship with pressure, productivity, purpose, and intuition.


    They explore:

    • The difference between intuitive hits and dopamine highs
    • How to recognize the right kind of fear - the one that signals expansion
    • Why he walked away from a job he loved
    • What modern life is missing without rites of passage
    • The value of doing nothing (and why most people can’t)

    If you’ve been craving clarity or standing at a crossroads, this conversation offers perspective without prescription - and proof of what’s possible when you actually follow your design.

  • 55. Follow the Thread: Saying Yes, Trusting Timing & Creating a Life You Love with Amelia Whelan

    This week on the podcast, Bee sits down with Amelia Whelan - a manifesting generator, health coach turned professional network marketer, and someone who’s followed the thread of what lights her up for over a decade.


    From growing up in a creative household to dropping out of college (twice), to biking up mountains in Hawaii and building a seven-figure business online, Amelia shares the unfiltered truth behind what it actually takes to live a life of freedom, creativity, and fulfillment.


    They talk about:

    • saying no when something’s no longer right
    • following aligned yeses even when they make no sense
    • how confidence isn’t a trait, but a skill
    • making peace with discomfort, uncertainty, and the contraction before expansion
    • what birth (literal and metaphorical) can teach us about resilience and self-trust

    This is an expansive conversation about identity, online business, and what’s possible when you stop trying to force the path - and start following the one that’s already calling you.

  • 54. Love, Conflict & Human Design with Erin & Bee

    What if your relationship struggles weren’t problems to fix—but patterns to understand?

    Another repost from one of our favorite episodes last year! In this honest and personal conversation, Erin and Bee dive deep into how Human Design has helped them untangle relationship triggers, emotional conflict, and even unexpected physical symptoms (yes, hair loss included). Erin shares the surprising mind-body connection behind her shedding experience and the emotional split it revealed. Bee opens up about life with a Manifestor partner—navigating polarity, anger, intimacy, and her own healing in the process.

    They unpack:

    • Emotional authority and clarity over time
    • The role of separation, stress, and nervous system health
    • Real-world relationship dynamics between a Generator and Manifestor
    • How old patterns (like fear of abandonment) sneak into even the most conscious relationships
    • Why understanding your design—and your partner’s—is the ultimate game changer


    New to Human Design? Start with type, strategy, and authority. Then let the rest unfold.

  • 50. Answering the Call: Finding God After New Age Burnout with Hollie Freeman

    What happens when you do all the right things - manifesting, healing, seeking - and still feel empty? In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Erin sits down with her longtime friend and fellow 2/4 emotional Projector, Hollie Freeman, to explore the unexpected journey that led Hollie from New Age spirituality in Bali to a radical, heart-opening relationship with Jesus. They talk about spiritual bypassing, the limitations of self-led transformation, the pitfalls of hyper-individualized healing culture, and what it really means to surrender. This episode isn’t about religion - it’s about remembering your source.


    It’s about returning to love that isn’t performative or curated, but deeply personal, messy, and life-changing. Whether you're navigating spiritual disillusionment, craving a deeper connection to the divine, or simply curious about reclaiming your faith on your own terms - this one’s for you.

    We cover:

    • The moment Hollie knew the self-help path had run dry* How her emotional rock bottom became a divine turning point
    • Erin’s reflections on growing up Catholic and deconstructing her own blocks to God
    • The difference between chasing outcomes and walking with trust
    • Why surrender is the most powerful spiritual practice of all


    Mentioned in this episode: Hollie's monthly mail subscription, The Poetry Parcel, and her upcoming podcast (stay tuned!).
