Today's episode of Soulful Chats is about uncovering + embracing your authentic truth through Human Design.

This episode offers you an introduction into Human Design, what it is, some of its elements and a small deep drive into the different types of human design. Human Design brings together the ancient wisdom of Astrology, the I Ching, the Chakras, the Kabbalah - with modern science - Quantum Physics and Genetics, to offer you insights into who you are meant to be in this lifetime.

I also share with you examples of how human design gave me the permission to BE ME (and could do the same for you). Having my chart read felt like the first time I was completely seen in my authenticity. If I am really honest, It was nothing new, but an empowering kick up the butt to BE ME and get off that comparison trap of trying to be everyone else but ME. And I truly believe this is possible for everyone who uncovers their human design chart.

In today's episode of soulful chats, I share with you an honest and raw insight into my own friendships.

An episode on my journey of friendships, where I share my journey from letting go of how I thought friendships should look to how I began accepting my friendships, my different friendships, the different layers of friendships and having a collection of deep different friends.

My friendships have gone from many, from initiating the majority of our catch ups, from feeling like I had lots of friends but no deep friendships, and from feeling a constant struggle to relate and connect.

So what do my friendships look like post my twenties

Well they are layered. And I have many different ones. Some have developed over time. Through school relationships, others through work or even my yoga studio. Some are full of sharing our stories and challenges and some are easy and light. Some come easier than others and others feel harder. But I stay because I know she is a tribe member.

But all have an ability to speak their truth. To hold space for each other. To be ok if the other says no or reschedules. To celebrate each other even if what we are celebrating is something the other has longed for, for a long time. And own our role in our friendship.

This has all happened because I have found a home. A home with me. An acceptance of me and that has rippled effect into the friendships around me. They are my home. They are my sisters.

Additional friendship episodes include Episode 5 & 6 | Friendship check in.

Over the past few weeks many of us are moving through lots of uncertainty. This never ending cycle of being in lockdown and the unknown of when we can make plans and they can actually come to fruition with ease.

In the past week I have experienced one of my greatest opportunities to let go and surrender to life's plan. This process was so scary for me, I didn't want to let go and trust, I wanted to control everything. But what I learnt over the past week is that everything is uncertain and I can only control what I can control. That includes showing up for my dreams and my desires and taking radical action, whilst being unattached to the outcome. Trusting that showing up will deliver what I desire.

So often when we are leaning into trusting our inner knowing, we hear voices from those we know (and often love) questioning the decision we are making, placing their own concerns onto us and ultimately taking us further away from what we desire. Too often we leave it there. We do not pursue our dreams or desires based on what others think. But what if we stopped doing this?

What if we stopped considering others opinions and beliefs over our own?

What if we actually considered our own opinion before we even opened up to others?

What if we trusted ourselves enough to maange whatever life throws at us, trust we have the resources and capabilities to manage everything and therefore always come back to trusting what we know to be true for us.

In this episode I share with you my journey of trusting and surrendering to this recent lockdown in Melbourne. How I moved through it and some soulful questions I asked myself as I navigated this challenging time and a challenging decision I had to make.

Today's episode of Soulful Chats is about owning our boundaries. I recently had a boundary overstepped, I felt frustrated, angry and bitter but it led me to realise I had an uncommunicated boundary and I was not honouring myself. I share with you today my own journey of owning (and not owning) my boundaries, why this happens and how to start honouring ourselves, our needs and desires and create beautiful boundaries out of love for ourselves.

In todays Episode of Soulful Chats, I am taking you on a journey back 70 years ago with my checky Grandmother, known as Granny B, as she takes us on a trip back to what it was to be twenty in the 1940's & 1950's.

I wanted to get Ganny B on to hear if the struggles and challenges we face today in our twenties were similar to the ones she faced when she entered her twenties.

Today Ganny and I talk on

•What she was doing in her twenties

•What was expected of her in her twenties

•The War & being in the Australian Women's Airforce

•Having children in her 30's

•Supporting her husband whilst he got his degree

•Her advice for women in their twenties today

The sound quality is a bit off in today's episode and my Granny can be hard to hear at some times but I hope you find this episode inspiring and maybe.. it even prompt you to be grateful for the opportunities we have in our lives today.

Today's episode is a bit of a passionate download. One that came through me after a long beach walk. About who we are truly committed to being? Is that the future you, you desire to be? Or are you committed to the person you are today?

I share with you an analogy of using a book to describe how we are living. Our life represented as a book, pages represented as moments, chapters of our life represented as chapters of our book and our front cover as a moment in time. Yet what many people fail to realize is, they do actually get to choose their front cover! Instead what many do, is let an experience, a moment in time, intertwine into every aspect of their lives, letting this one moment dictate how we live. Maybe it's a bad breakup and thinking there are no good men out there. Maybe it's a job rejection and thinking you will never get a job. Or maybe it's your parents' separations and thinking is marriage really all the answers.

In this episode, I invite you to really ask yourself how committed are you to the things you say you want? Are you committing to your present self, the one that may be letting a certain experience run your life OR are you committed to stepping into a future version of yourself, that you say you want to be and begin co creating the life you truly desire?

This is not to say there is anything wrong with your present self. It's rather who do you need to become to call in what you say you want in your life. I share with you what gets in the way of you actually moving towards your future self, ways to move through this and how you can actually be your future self today.

I also share a lot of personal examples, from my decision to stop drinking and how this shifted some of my friendships but was essential in me coming home to myself, to my relationship with the word marriage and leaving the world of both Mike and I being accountants and how this shifted dynamics in our relationship.

The sound quality is a bit off but I hope you find this episode's message as powerful as I felt recording it after embodying over the past few months.

I am so honoured to have my very own mentor and coach, Kirsten Morrison on the podcast for a very raw-authentic conversation. Kirsten is an Empowerment Coach guiding women to break up with their inherited self and claim their authentic, inherent self. She is the host of the EXPRESSED. podcast, an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Practitioner, Breathwork Facilitator and alchemises it all through the lens of Human Design. It's her mission to support women to remember their magnificence. She's a stand for radical self belief, self trust, authenticity and amplifying your gifts to create the impact your soul came here to create. By using the incredible foundation of human design, she supports you to do it in a way that is energetically aligned for YOUR unique blueprint and no one else's. Because your way is the only way - you ARE the exception to the rule, because you're exceptional.

This woman is an absolute superstar and was actually the lady who planted the seed for me to create this podcast. In this episode, Kirsten and I laugh a lot, as well as talk about her journey through her twenties. We chat about

•Not knowing who we are and as a result taking on identities of those around us (aka Kirsten trying to be everything Paris Hilton)

•Changing our twenties from the years of needing to have everything together to the years of exploration and understand who we are

•Asking the big questions, such as "Are the timelines you are placing on yourself your time lines or someone else's?, What do you want from this life and what is the cost of not living your life"

•Doing what society says you should do and experiencing a thirty something meltdown vs. experiencing a twenties something crisis leading you to explore and understand who you are so the rest of your life is a true reflection of who you are

•Rediscovering yourself and embracing the life you are currently living

•No dream is too big

•Knowing you wont turn into a pumpkin at 30 years old

Kirsten shares what led her to truly trust and believe in herself and reminds us that we are never really going to be this version of ourselves again, so why not slow down and be with her.

My favourite quote from today's episode, which really sets the sense for the entire episode and also for why I wanted to have her on the podcast to have this twenties something conversation...

"We finish uni at 24/25... if we are lucky. Then we have 6 years to build our career, get our house, get our car, travel and have babies... are you farking serious... how the fark is that going to happen! I literally thought I needed to have all of that done. So of course we are lost, stressed and under all this pressure.... Because we think in 5-6 years we have to achieve everything we want in life... that is ludicrous."

This is a very raw and unedited episode, because well Kirsten keeps it raw and unedited so I thought I would trust this episode is perfect as it is. Enjoy all the laughs, tangents and LOL moments.

Introducing Eliza Johnstone, a beautiful woman who is passionate about french, painting, exercise, eating healthy and connecting with epic humans.

She is also one of my beautiful clients and I am so excited to bring her on the show today. When Eliza and I started coaching together over 6 months ago, Eliza was feeling unsure about who she was, what she liked and what she was passionate about. She felt stuck in a constant battle of self doubt and self criticism and couldn't make a decision alone.

In 6 months she has gone from not knowing her feelings, always being super busy and feeling like she was turning 25 and not really sure what she wanted in life to knowing who she is, knowing she is more than her career, being able to understand her emotion and process them, to making a decision by herself and trust that decision! She now feels like she belongs in her body, feels more connected to her friends and is able to have more vulnerable conversations as well as a clear vision for her career and what she wants in the next few years of life.

We chat about how she worked through her self doubt, being stuck in the comparison trap, how she is able to spend time alone and fulfill her own needs. As well as how she has stopped relying on external things to fulfill her, like friends, her career and instead is taking full ownership for creating her best life, by switching her mindset, meditating daily and taking care of herself in her every day routine.

Over the past two episodes both guests have been sharing their journey of career, purpose and pivoting. And I wanted to take a short solo episode today to talk you through some ways you too can get clear on what your career looks like and what your dream job is!

This episode is like a manual to uncovering your dream job. I offer you sooo many deep questions and journaling prompts for you to dive into to uncover what it is you want out of your career, how to uncover your dream job and what steps you can begin taking today to get you 1 step closer. So make sure you have your pen and journal ready.

I also touch on why your career may not be your purpose and THAT'S OK!!!!!! Because I share with you why I think purpose is a BUZZword and how to redefine career and purpose. Plus remind you that you are not what you do and what you do is not who you are. So let's jump in!

PS. I share a lot in today's episode and if you are looking for a hardcopy visual of what I have shared, send me a DM on insta @harrietjackson_ and I will send you through a workbook that accompanies today's episode.
