Through powerful stories of love, loss, and learning, she shares the lessons that caregiving taught her about presence, humility, and grace.

From nights spent at hospital bedsides to the healing power of music and the importance of honoring our elders, Sharon reminds us that caregiving is not just about tending to another’s needs it’s an act of devotion that changes us at our core.

This week Liz Humphreys and Nikki DeLoach sit down with Aimee Parker, intuitive guide and Human Design reader, to explore what it truly means to live in alignment with who you are beneath all the “shoulds” and expectations.

Aimee introduces listeners to Human Design, a system that blends ancient wisdom and modern science to help us understand how we’re energetically wired to move through the world. Together, they unpack how this framework can become a powerful tool for self-remembrance, decision-making, and healing from the conditioning and trauma that often disconnect us from our authentic selves.

From navigating motherhood, caregiving, and burnout to setting boundaries and learning to say no, this conversation offers practical insights for anyone ready to slow down, trust their intuition, and honor their natural rhythm. As Nikki shares her own experiences using Human Design to manage her “yes-person” tendencies, the trio reminds us that self-awareness isn’t about fixing ourselves it’s about remembering who we’ve been all along.
