Karen Pawley—Human Design Guide, Transformational Coach, and creator of Health2Healing.com—joins Amy and Marissa for a deep, grounded conversation on Human Design: what it is, how it works, and why it’s helping so many people understand themselves on a whole new level.

In this episode, we explore Human Design as a “blueprint for your energy”—a system that weaves together astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, quantum physics, and genetics to map how you’re uniquely wired to make decisions, communicate, connect, and move through life.

Karen breaks down the foundations of Human Design in a way that feels both accessible and transformative. From understanding your type and authority to recognizing the patterns you’ve been conditioned into, this conversation shows how Human Design can reshape your relationships, your work, and your day-to-day choices.

• What Human Design actually is and how it reveals your energetic blueprint
• How to identify what truly aligns with you—and what doesn’t
• The five Human Design types (Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Reflector)
• How each type interacts, collaborates, and thrives differently
• How decision-making works: sacral, emotional, self-projected, and more
• Why Human Design is a tool for deconditioning—not a rigid rulebook
• How knowing your design can transform romantic, family, and workplace relationships

• How Marissa’s Consecutive Digestion explains her “one thing at a time” approach to food, tasks, and information
• Why Amy gains clarity by speaking things out loud (self-projected authority)
• Karen’s surprising example of how digestion types can even explain infant reflux
• Real stories of how understanding a partner or coworker’s design can diffuse conflict and build true connection
