In this week's episode, with our host, Gwen Dittmar, Coach, Somatic Breathwork, and Soul Guide, we delve into the foundational question: What is Human Design? and this week, What are the Human Design Authorities, and how are we meant to make decisions. We will also discuss in this episode the current Sun transit in Human Design through Gate 52, The Gate of Stillness. This is a powerful energy to embody through this transit, in a world that is moving at a frenetic pace.

Located in the Root Center, Gate 52 often gets misunderstood as laziness or paralysis — but it’s actually a deeply somatic, anchoring force that allows us to concentrate, ground, and find clarity before we act.

Whether you carry this gate in your chart or you're simply navigating its current transit, this episode will support you in understanding:

The difference between freeze and fertile stillness

How Gate 52 can feel in the body and nervous system

How this energy impacts your work, relationships, creativity, and sense of timing

Why learning to honor your pauses is the key to powerful focus

In this week's episode, with our host, Gwen Dittmar, Coach, Somatic, Breath, and Soul Guide, we delve into a foundational aspect of Human Design... What is your Type in Human Design, and more importantly, how can you apply Human Design to the real events in your life, our country, and the world, especially this week as the Sun transits through Gate 15, The Gate of Extremes.

Gate 15 invites all of us to reclaim our natural pace, honor our inner rhythms, and release the shame we’ve carried around inconsistency, chaos, or “not fitting the mold.”

Whether you’ve felt scattered, sensitive, burned out, or just out of sync lately, this episode will ground you in the cosmic permission slip to be exactly as you are.

You’ll Learn:

What each Human Design type is truly here to embody (and why the old “hustle” model doesn’t work for any of us).

How you can honor if you are a Reflector, Manifestor, Projector, Generator or Manifesting Generator with real work and life scenarios

How Gate 15 might be impacting your nervous system, emotional flow, and sense of worth

Journaling prompts to connect with your unique rhythm of Gate 15

In this week's episode, with our host, Gwen Dittmar, Coach, Energy, and Soul Guide, we discuss how the current Human Design Sun transit through Gate 12, known as the Gate of Caution, a highly emotional, creative, and selective energy, teaches us the power of timing in communication. This is the gate of the poet, the artist, the one who waits until the emotional wave is clear before speaking. Gwen shares what Gate 12 reveals about your voice, emotions, and timing, how this transit might be stirring up creative energy, emotional intensity, or the desire to withdraw, tools for navigating emotional expression with discernment and integrity, and somatic practices and prompts to consider when aligning with Gate 12’s energy.

Whether you’re leading a conversation, launching something new, or simply trying to honor your sensitivity, this episode invites you to pause, feel, and speak from your soul.

In this week's timely episode, with our host, Gwen Dittmar, Coach, Energy, and Soul Guide, we delve into the foundational question: What is Human Design?

We’ll also explore the current Sun transit of Gate 45, known as The Gate of the Gatherer, which is also known as The Gate of the Queen or King, and how this transit aligned with nationwide protests, using your voice, gathering resources for the good of all.

Gate 45 is a gate that carries energy around leadership, sovereignty, and sharing resources. Whether you feel called to lead a business, a family, or a vision, this gate invites you to examine your relationship to power, control, and communal care, or leading yourself, we can all benefit from learning about the energy of being a true leader.

Expect to learn:

In this powerful and intimate episode Ruthie Ackerman, acclaimed journalist and author of The Mother Code, a memoir that explores identity, generational trauma, and what it means to mother, and be mothered, Ruthie and I dive deep into the complexities of navigating partnerships that do and do not support having children, reclaiming one's narrative, especially as an adoptee and a woman navigating the emotional legacy of invisible wounds.

With compassion and clarity, Ruthie shares her journey of unraveling the inherited and intergenerational trauma, motherhood ambivalence, what to do when our partners do not want children but maybe we do but don’t want to lose our partnership or compromise our desires. Ruthie gives name to the quiet grief that shaped her sense of self. She discusses the concept of “the mother code”— the unconscious beliefs and expectations passed down through maternal line —and how we can become conscious authors of our own mothering experience, whether we have children or not. Ruthie discusses how writing, creativity, and community are the path of emotional healing, personal transformation and creating whatever it is we chose to birth into

the world.

This episode is a heartfelt exploration of healing, the power of truth-telling, and the courage it takes to rewrite the codes we’ve lived by. If you've ever questioned your origin story, your role in your family, or how to break generational patterns, this conversation will resonate deeply.
