Ever wonder what a real Human Design reading looks like?

This episode is something I’ve never done before on the show… a live Human Design reading with my friend and book editor, Chelsea Lauren.

Chelsea is a first-time mom, self-publishing guide, and someone who’s been deconditioning from years of morphing into whoever she thought people wanted her to be. 

We’re diving into her chart to talk about what it means to be a projector (the lighthouse energy that’s always scanning and taking in information), why she’s heard “I don’t need a solution, I just want to vent” so many times, and how rest isn’t giving up control… it’s trusting.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever wondered: 

Is there a reason I operate this way? 

Why do I feel bitter when people don’t see me? 

Why do I need alone time AND people?

Even if you’re not a projector, you’ll see how Human Design helps you understand your energy patterns instead of fighting them.

Ever catch yourself feeling guilty for resting? For saying no? For wanting more?

Guilt keeps us small. It keeps us hiding in old versions of ourselves instead of expanding into who we’re meant to be.

In this episode, I’m sharing how to stop feeling guilty and start giving yourself permission to live fully. We’ll talk about where guilt shows up (productivity, mom guilt, putting yourself first, etc), how to release it through forgiveness, and why you need to hand yourself a permission slip for the things you really want.

I’m also sharing my own story about building a new community and the guilt and permission work I had to do to get out of my own way.

If you’ve been holding back on something you really want, this one’s for you.

Do you ever shut yourself down before you even try? 

Tell yourself “I can’t do that” or “I don’t know how” and just stop? 

If so, then this episode is for you.

Today we’re diving into how to shift from “I can’t” to “What if?” by developing a curious mindset. I share a real client story about career transitions, my own product business launch, and simple reframes you can use today.

If you’ve been overthinking, stuck in doubt, or telling yourself stories about why you can’t, this episode is your invitation to get curious instead.

Have you ever zoned out in a meeting and realized you have no idea what anyone just said? Or feel like you’re running on autopilot from the moment you wake up until you collapse at night?
My first guest on the show, meditation teacher Elizabeth Guilbeault, gets it. Even after 20+ years of practice, she still goes unconscious sometimes. The difference is, she knows simple ways to bring herself back.
In this conversation, Elizabeth shares the exact practices she uses when life gets busy: the grounding cord (takes 30 seconds, works anywhere), 4-4-4 breathing (even if you’re skeptical), and how to link these to things you already do so you actually remember to practice.
If you’re tired of feeling scattered, disconnected from yourself, or like you’re just going through the motions, this episode gives you simple, practical tools to come back to the present in clear, simple ways.

Most of us don’t listen to our bodies until they’re screaming at us. In this episode, I’m sharing simple shifts you can make to tune in more deeply… whether you’re brand new to body awareness or ready to go deeper.

You’ll learn three levels of body awareness: daily check-ins for beginners, emotion tracking for intermediate practitioners, and energy body work for advanced exploration. I share personal stories including my teeth-grinding wake-up call and how I teach my daughters to protect their energy in crowded spaces.

If you’ve been living in your head and ignoring what your body’s been trying to tell you, this episode is your invitation to start listening.

Have you ever walked into a room feeling fine and left feeling anxious or completely drained?

Or had a conversation that left you feeling heavy, negative, or just... off?
You might be absorbing other people's emotions without even realizing it.

In this episode, I share the one question that changes everything: 'Whose emotions are these?' Plus simple practices to protect your energy so you can show up grounded and centered.

What You'll Learn:
How to tell if emotions are yours or someone else's
Why you take on other people's energy
The energy bubble practice
How to prepare before and clear after meetings
 
 
Key Takeaway:
Taking on other people's emotions impacts how you show up, how you lead, and how you make decisions. Just having the awareness to ask 'whose emotions are these?' can be a powerful way to reset yourself and stay grounded in your own space.

The mind-body connection. You've heard the term. Maybe you think it's about yoga or stress management.

But what if it's actually about something much deeper? 

What if your body has been trying to communicate with you all along… and you've been taught to ignore it?

In this foundational episode, I break down what the mind-body connection actually means, why we're so disconnected, and what changes when you start listening.

What You'll Learn:

What the mind-body connection actually is
 
It's not just wellness talk. Your body is constantly communicating with you… through signals, responses, tension, and wisdom. Most of us have been taught to override these signals and let our minds run the show. But your body knows things your mind doesn't.
 
Why we're disconnected from our bodies
 
We're taught to be productive at all costs. Push through. Follow the path. Check the boxes. Over time, we stop listening to our bodies and try to operate purely from the mind. This is why so many people hit their 40s or 50s with a "midlife crisis", it's actually your body finally making you pay attention.
 
What your body is actually doing
 
Your body is trying to work WITH you. It sends signals (like my teeth-grinding wake-up call). It responds before your mind can analyze (like my daughter's sacral authority). It holds tension in specific places for specific reasons. When you suppress these signals, your body eventually does something more dramatic to grab your attention.
 
Simple ways to start reconnecting
 
Start with awareness. Ask your body in the morning: "What do you need today?" Check in throughout the day. Notice where you hold tension. Take breaks. Try talking to your body. 


Key Takeaway:

When you start listening to your body instead of constantly overriding it with your mind, it completely changes what opportunities can come to you, how you navigate life, and how you make decisions. It's not woo-woo—it's recognizing that you have so much more power than you've been allowing yourself to believe.

If you're feeling overwhelmed… with life, work, decisions, or just everything, you're not broken. You're in a phase.

In this anchor episode, I walk you through the 4 phases everyone goes through on the journey from feeling overwhelmed to living in alignment. Understanding which phase you're in helps you know exactly what you need and what kind of support will help you most.

The 4 Phases:

Phase 1: Running on Someone Else's Manual
 
You're doing what you're 'supposed' to do, but something feels off. Decision fatigue, burnout, ignoring your body's signals. Living according to someone else's definition of success. The realization: something needs to change.
 
Phase 2: Understanding & Seeing the Patterns
 
You're waking up to what's actually happening. Seeing patterns, learning about your unique wiring (Human Design, mind-body connection, decision-making styles). Exciting but overwhelming. The work: learning, exploring, experimenting.
 
Phase 3: Integration & Practice
 
The messy middle. You're applying what you've learned to real life… making aligned decisions, setting boundaries, building new habits, working through conditioning. Requires patience, support, and permission to experiment. This is where the real transformation happens.
 
Phase 4: Embodied Aligned Living
 
Living in alignment more often than not. Trust in your body's wisdom. Clarity on what's yours. Life reflects who you actually are. Still learning and growing, but the practices are integrated into how you operate.
 
What Support Looks Like:
• Phase 1: Awareness & education (podcasts, Human Design chart, books)
• Phase 2: Personalized guidance (Decision-Making Accelerator)
• Phase 3: Ongoing support & accountability (6-month advisory)
• Phase 4: Deepening work or supporting others
Key Takeaway:
You're not behind. You're not stuck. You're exactly where you need to be right now. Knowing your phase helps you move forward with clarity instead of confusion. This is a journey, not a destination.

Spring is here… a time for blooming, releasing, and beginning again. But how do you actually let go? Not the vague "just let it go" advice, but real, practical ways to release control and trust the process without giving up on your dreams.


In this episode, I share the "fold in the cheese" problem (if you know, you know), why we're not actually in control anyway, and 3 simple practices that help you release what's no longer serving you, including a life-changing song I discovered in a salt cave in Egypt.


Key Takeaways:


1. Letting go doesn't mean giving up or sitting around waiting
You still hold your intentions and vision. What you're releasing is the attachment to HOW things have to happen and the expectation of a specific outcome. This creates spaciousness for the universe to work in ways you couldn't have planned.


2. We're not actually in control (and that's okay)
The Earth is moving, the universe is going—anything can happen in any moment. Trying to control is an illusion. The real power is in surrender and trust that things will work out for your highest good.


3. Talk to your body where you're holding tension
Is there a place you repeatedly have tension from holding on? Start conversations with that part of your body: "We're safe. Let's release this together." Name the feelings, observe when they come up, and work with your body to let go.


4. Old stories keep you stuck in old patterns
If you're holding on to stories from your past (needing to prove yourself, expecting certain treatment), you're telling yourself that's what to expect in your future too. Recognize what you're holding on to before you can release it.


5. Music can shift your frequency instantly
Try listening to "I Release Control" by Alexa Sunshine Rose or "Divine Surrendering" by Doe Paoro. Sit with the intention to release, close your eyes, and let the music do the work. It's like a meditative state that helps you come back to the present moment.

Have you ever heard a voice so loud in your head that it stopped you in your tracks?
Or have you ignored subtle signals from your body… until they became impossible to ignore?
This episode is for you.
Today I'm sharing my personal story of going from 15 years in corporate to building my own business, and the pivotal moments when I realized I wasn't living in alignment. From the voice in the hallway that said "Is this all there is?" to the day I woke up grinding my teeth from stress, I walk through what it actually looks like to undo other people's expectations and get back to YOUR operating manual.
If you're a leader going through a transition, feeling the rub between who you are and what you're doing, or wondering why you feel burnt out even though you're "doing everything right" then this episode is for you.
Key Takeaways:
1. Your body will tell you when you're out of alignment
The first signals are quiet (a voice, a feeling, a sense something's off). Then they get louder. Then your body makes sure you hear them—stress, burnout, physical symptoms. When I felt like my teeth were falling out, my body was screaming: this isn't in alignment.
2. We all have our own operating manual—but we've absorbed everyone else's
We came here with our own blueprint for how we want to work and live. But over time we absorbed our parents' expectations, our teachers' beliefs, corporate culture, societal standards. Until one day you realize your manual is a patchwork of other people's ideas about who you should be.
3. Living in alignment is about undoing the conditioning
It's not about blowing up your life or leaving your job. It's about checking in: where am I in alignment? Where am I not? What's actually mine vs. what I absorbed from others? This process can feel disorienting and scary—but it's about honoring who you are.
4. This shows up differently for everyone
Business owners building based on what they think will work instead of what feels aligned. Leaders taking on their team's emotions instead of checking "is this mine?" Offering done-for-you when you're meant to hold space. Getting lost in what you think you should do instead of what really feels aligned for you.
5. The "midlife crisis" is just waking up to misalignment
I personally believe that what we call a midlife crisis is really just people recognizing they're not in alignment and searching for more meaning or purpose. It's that disconnect within them. And then they say, well, now it's time.
