Human design is the #1 tool that has helped me to live a more aligned and thriving life. So on today’s episode, I invite Empowerment Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, Human design expert & fellow manifestor Kirsten Morrison to come break down this powerful modality and explain how you can use it to enhance your personal & work life. You’ll learn about the 5 different energy types, typical obstacles they face & how to start living your design. We also have a big jam session on what it's like to live as a big, bold manifestor. You’ll walk away feeling empowered to stop taking the “one size fits all” approach to living and start doing what makes you feel damn good.
