Episode 025 of Living in Response is an unfolding of a love-hate relationship with Human Design, how I actually started living into my design naturally and of course oodles of nuggets about my deepest love in life - interoception.

Thank you so much for tuning in to this unfiltered, unedited, and unbounded exploration in, “you don’t have to have it all figured out, you just have to start.”

Topics Covered in This Episode:Summarized (mostly) with AI

1️⃣ My Complex Relationship with Human DesignI hesitated to label this a Human Design episode because I wanted to stay true to what’s alive in the moment—but Human Design kept surfacing, so here we are.I share my early obsession with the system, the certifications, the countless free readings, and how I tried to force my life into my chart instead of letting it unfold naturally.

2️⃣ Burnout from Spiritual Modality-HoppingDuring the early stages of my spiritual awakening, I dove into the Akashic Records, astrology, and Human Design with an “this is my purpose” intensity.I did so many free sessions but couldn’t bring myself to charge for them.Eventually, I hit a wall and had to step back from it all—including Human Design.

3️⃣ The Turning Point: Discovering Embodiment WorkAfter a surrender moment in 2023, I found The Energy Codes by Dr. Sue Morter (a book I sort of recommend.)That book shifted everything—it grounded energy work into my body.I realized embodiment is a lifestyle, and interoception (the ability to feel internal sensations) was the missing piece.

4️⃣ Why Interoception Changed EverythingBefore developing my interoception, I was constantly overthinking my strategy and authority.Once I started feeling what was going on inside me, I naturally started living my design.I stopped asking “Is this a sacral response?” and started trusting what felt true.

5️⃣ From Overthinking to FlowI learned that when I’m thinking about my sacral response, I’ve already drowned it out.Now I follow what I feel pulled toward—even if I can’t name what I’m responding to.Cleaning my apartment in silence has become a literal practice in sacral response.

6️⃣ The Trap of Trying to Fit Myself Into My ChartI used to try to mold my career or offerings around my channels (Alpha, Struggle, Awakening), which led to confusion and burnout.Now I just live and let the chart reflect back to me what’s unfolding.

7️⃣ Understanding My Innocence Motivation + Personal PerspectiveThis podcast is an expression of my Innocence Motivation—no agenda, just sharing for the sake of sharing.My Personal Perspective means I speak from my experience, not to fix or teach, just to express and explore.

8️⃣ Why Interoception Is Foundational to Human DesignHuman Design assumes embodiment, but most people aren’t actually embodied.I believe interoception is a biological prerequisite for living one’s design—and possibly key to the future of human well-being.

9️⃣ Cannabis & Energetic PerceptionCannabis has been a powerful ally in helping me feel my body more clearly and connect with subtle energies.It enhances interoception and supports emotional processing, making it an incredible tool when used intentionally.

🔟 Letting Life Reflect the ChartI no longer use Human Design to try and make something happen.Instead, I live my life, and when I zoom out, I see my chart reflected in the way things naturally unfold.

I wouldn’t be here today without my ancestors and I wouldn’t have any of this information or lived experience without the help and support of my teachers and their teachers, so many thanks to all of them and to YOU for supporting my journey!
