Divine by Design

I just read I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman and I don’t even know where to begin…

This episode is not a “book review.” It’s a soul-spill. A reflection on what it cracked open in me about being a woman. About surviving in a world that doesn’t make sense. About living without mirrors, without answers, without a map, and still becoming.

I’m diving into the 5 core truths this story awakened in me:

✨Curiosity as a survival instinct

✨Femininity beyond performance

✨Authority as a spell we can break

✨Time measured in love & loss

✨Death as something sacred, not feared

If you’ve ever felt like your softness was your strength, or your questions were your compass… this one’s for you. Let your curiosity be holy. Let your ache to understand be enough. Let your becoming be art.

This one’s for the girlies building their dream life without sacrificing their peace.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real-life rituals, mindset shifts, and energetic tools I’m using to design my 23rd year around alignment, abundance, and rest!

We’re talking:

✨Releasing hustle culture

✨Using Human Design + my 28-day cycle to plan my life

✨Calling in soul-level connections

✨Reprogramming scarcity with fridge-door affirmations

✨And showing up from overflow, not obligation

So, if you’re craving a softer, richer, more you-shaped way to live, this episode is your permission slip!

a very vulnerable conversation about sex, freezing, obligation, shame + the experiences I spent years blaming myself for because “I didn’t say no.” and learning to forgive the younger versions of me who didn’t have the voice I have now.

gentle TW: sexual coercion, alcohol + nonconsensual sexual experiences. nothing graphic is shared, but please take care of yourself while listening.

a conversation about beauty standards, self-worth + how much of our lives get swallowed up when we’re constantly trying to fix how we look. inspired by Women Living Deliciously and the radical idea that maybe being pretty was never the point.
