I’ve had a lot going on lately, and I find it therapeutic to speak it out loud. Here’s the TLDR version (or too long, didn’t listen):
I talk about a Reiki session which led me to create this podcast in the first place.
I talk about my corporate job and how steady and intense it’s been.
I talk about noticing at the beginning of April that I had gained some weight and my body was feeling bulky and receiving that as a message and doing some deep inner personal work around my perspectives on food and sleep, as well as doing research on what I’m eating and how I’m moving, to change up my routine to honor what my body is asking for.
AND I talk about my book and some of the challenges I’ve come across in writing it, as well as some recent inspiration.
AND I talk about Human Design and how understanding myself better has led to more aligned action. I am a Projector in Human Design. Projectors are all non-sacral beings due to our sacral centers being undefined. All Projectors also have the same Strategy, which is waiting for the invitation. Then there’s Authority. I have a Solar Plexus or Emotional Authority, meaning I need to wait until I have neutral emotion before making decisions. I have 4/6 Profile lines, which, for writing, Kat River had these recommendations:
The 4/6 profile is the Heart-Centered Role Model. You’re here to influence through intimacy and lead by living, not preaching. You're naturally magnetic in your community, and over time you become someone people deeply trust, not because you’re perfect, but because you’re real, steady, and have been through it.
This is the profile of someone who’s here for the long game.
Line 4 (Opportunist): You create through connection. your power is relational. People trust you through word of mouth, mutual friends, real-life connection, and emotional resonance. You don’t “market” so much, you ripple out with your essence.
Lline 6 is the role model and your life moves from 0-30 yrs old as a trial and error phase. then 30-50 observing your life/patterns and assessing. then 50+ being the role model. Think elder in a community energy kind of thing. People come to you and seek wisdom due to your lived experience.
Together, you’re someone who becomes deeply influential, but not by pushing but by living beautifully, vulnerably, and authentically.
Short-formYes, but not for virality. Use reels/stories to nurture connection, not chase attention. Think: warm voice, storytelling, value-driven “friend to friend” energy.
Long-form is perfect. Very powerful. especially for memoir-style storytelling, reflective teachings, and gentle wisdom. Great for podcasts, Substack, or intimate blog posts.
If you’re interested in your own writing style as defined by your Human Design Profile lines, you can read through the Note here.
I also mention Astrology. In my birth chart, my Sun is in Leo (fire), my Moon is in Gemini (air) and my Rising Sign (although I didn’t talk about it in this podcast episode) is in Scorpio.
