                  • 11. Leverage your natural abilities to create your dream life with Human Design expert Julianna Lembeck

                    Our guest this week is Julianna Lembeck  who empowers her clients to navigate away from mental health labels, heal their trauma and build a strong foundation for their lives that works with their specific energy ⚡️

                    ⁠
                    What is Human Design you ask? It is a system that lends language, classification and guidance to our unique energetic makeup. When we better understand how our energy is stimulated and comes to life, we can better tap into what lights us up and feed the parts of ourselves that are ready to author the powerful story of our lives. 

                    Human Design is language and classification of our unique energetic genetic makeup.

                    Human Design Energy Types:

                    1. Manifestor - People that are trailblazers, they initiate and make it happen
                    2. Generator - Here to do work with a consistent energy. Like a motor that turns on each morning and runs all day until it burns out at night.
                    3. Manifesting Generator - Being service in their own desires and make excess energy for everyone else, can initiate and, here to zigzag a bit between interests
                    4. Projector - Here to be guides to make efficiency gains and see systems very well
                    5. Reflector - Center of the tribe, they reflect back how we are doing as a community, identity ebb & flow
                    6. Our Authority - this is the place within your body that gives you the answers to your decisions

                      Profile - this is the equivalent of your sun sign in astrology, how we present to the outside world, what is the energy you are bringing with you everywhere you go in the world

                      Signature - the indication that you're on the right track

                      1. Manifestors - Peace, nobody is standing in my way
                      2. Generators & MG - Satisfaction, life is good, you are in the flow
                      3. Projectors - Success, helping and guiding people
                      4. Reflector - Surprised & Delighted
                      5. Not Self Theme - your personal check engine light, that you need to course correct

                        1. Manifestors - Rage, you feel small
                        2. Generator & MG -  Frustration, feeling stuck
                        3. Projector - Bitterness, seething undertone
                        4. Reflector - Disappointment, life is dull and does not feel exciting
                        5. How to nurture your children:

                          1. Manifestor Kids - empower them to lead the way
                          2. Generator & MG - present them with specific yes/ no questions and see what lights them up
                          3. Projector - encourage what they are naturally interested in, allow them to have time for their interest
                          4. Reflector - in an environment that feels good to them
                          5. Key takeaway: you are the story that you tell yourself and you need to make it profound

                          6. 10. Deanna Madrid - Water Safety For Children

                            Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in children between the ages of one to four years old. Deanna Madrid is an ISR water safety instructor. ISR stands for Infant Swimming Resource and focuses on survival and swimming skills for children ages six months to six years old. Deanna's passion for water safety was born from an accident where her three year old nephew was found in a pool, blue and unresponsive. Thankfully he was resuscitated but that event changed the trajectory of Deanna's life.  She transitioned from her career as a nurse to a certified ISR instructor.

                            Key Takeaway: Kids should be learning both swim and water skills before anything else, before sports, and they do have the ability to learn. And parents...cut up those floaties.

                            Resources: YOU! You as a parent, you can teach your child a lot in the pool, you just need to dedicate the time.

                            Dr. Nikki Knight is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who believes in a holistic approach to healthcare., with a focus on the incorporation of essential oils in her practice. Dr. Knight wrote her dissertation on the effects of select essential oils on perioperative anxiety and loves to guide her clients on usage from acute health concerns to general well being. Dr. Knight strictly recommends the use of Doterra brand essential oils, you can make a purchase through Dr. Knight here and she is also offering all Elevate The Vibe listeners a FREE wellness consult if you mention this podcast when you reach out to her.  Connect here: mydoterra.com/nikkelle

                            How to use essential oils 3 ways:

                            • Aromatherapy: Through a diffuser, or place in your hands and sniff, or sniff directly from the bottle
                            • Topical: "Neat" directly on your skin. For kids you always want to dilute, dilution with a carrier is more therapeutic (Dr. Knight likes coconut oil, jojoba & sweet almond). Best places are bottom of feet & along spine
                            • Ingest: If your bottle has a nutrition label, you can take internally with add to a glass of water (no plastic), or under the tongue, or in a capsule
                            • Common issues in children & essential oils recommendations:

                              • Stomach ache - Tamer blend oil, roll directly onto abdomen
                              • For Immune Support - Stronger blend oil, directly on a spine & bottom of feet
                              • Diaper Cream - Combination of Melaleuca & Lavender
                              • Ear infection - Combination of Lavender, Rosemary & Melaleuca around the ear - 3x4 times/ day diluted with coconut oil
                              • Dosage Recommendations** If you ever notice a reaction from an oil, you would add carrier oil (like coconut oil) to the skin to dilute the essential oil, never use water as the water will push the oil deeper into the skin

                                • In a diffuser if you have cats 3-4 drops, if you have dogs 4-5
                                • 1 drop to 1 tbsp of carrier oil (like coconut oil) under 1 year | 2 drops to 2 tbsp of carrier oil (like coconut oil) 1 year & above
                                • Essential Oil Health Kit 101 for Adults: Lemon - detoxing | Lavender - calming for mental health | Frankincense - anti inflammatory | Peppermint & Wild Orange - gives you an energy boost

                                  Essential Oil Health Kit 101 Ages 0-2 years: Melaleuca - cleansing to the skin | Lavender - calming | Stronger Blend - to boost your immune system

                                  Essential Oil Health Kit Ages 2 - 10 years: Stronger Blend - to boost your immune system | Serenity Blend - calming, for sleep, for school & after school | Frankincense - cuts, scrapes, rashes, concentration for homework (application base of skull)

                                  Essential Oil Health Kit 10 - 18 years: Stronger Blend - to boost your immune system | Lemon - for detoxification | Lavender - calming & oil of communication, & building trust | Frankincense - concentration for homework (application on base of skull)

                                  Itovi body scanner www.itovi.com

                                  Key Takeaway: Use essential oils and use quality essential oils, be safe about it.

                                  Lisa Kim is an integrative health practitioner that uses Traditional Chinese Medicine, TCM, approaches to provide comprehensive treatments to deliver effective and lasting results for her patients. In this episode we discuss the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the various practices that fall under the umbrella of TCM like acupuncture, cupping, herbal nutrition, moxibustion therapy and how these practices can be used on patients no matter their age or ailment. 

                                  Growing up in Korea, TCM is a part of life, it's ingrained in how you think, eat, care for yourself and how you relate to the world. Moving to the US to pursue a career in Western Medicine, Dr. Kim realized that her roots in TCM were the most powerful healing modality and pivoted her career to earn a degree in Eastern Medicine. 

                                  Key Takeaway: During this pandemic, be extra careful, your immune system is all that you can trust. Take Vitamin C & Vitamin D3 and up your consumption of ginger to bolster your immunity.
