The Cosmic Glow-Up Podcast - Reclaim Confidence, Connection & Joy with Human Design, Astrology & Intuition

Welcome to the first episode of 2026! Recorded under the Cancer Full Moon, Crystal Dascomb reconnects with her roots and the spiritual lineage that inspired her work. In this special Moon Day Motivation episode, she honors her Filipino heritage and the healers in her family by offering intuitive astrology readings for all 12 zodiac signs.

Before diving into the readings, Crystal explains why January 1st isn't the only "new year" to consider—exploring the Astrological New Year (Aries season), Human Design New Year (Gate 41), and Lunar New Year (Year of the Fire Horse). She reminds listeners it's okay not to have everything figured out during this winter solstice season of rest and reflection.

Each zodiac reading includes guidance on which houses to focus on in your birth chart, oracle card messages, and intuitive insights for navigating 2026. Whether you're looking at your sun, moon, or rising sign, this episode offers personalized direction for the year ahead.

After 5 years of building my business, I'm making a major shift in 2026—and it starts with a story I've never publicly shared.

In this raw and honest episode, I open up about my seven-year infertility journey and the transformative Reiki session that changed everything. A practitioner told me something I'll never forget: "Your heart isn't even in your body right now. You kicked her out—she's across the street behind the fence, and you won't let her back in."

That moment began my spiritual awakening and set me on the path to not only becoming a mother, but discovering my true calling as a guide for women navigating heartbreak, loss, and disconnection.

I'm introducing The Nurture Code—a framework for bringing your heart back home to your body, healing from heartbreak, and reconnecting with your inherent capacity to nurture yourself first. Whether you're in your "I'm done" moment with fertility, relationships, loss, or life in general, this work is for you.

Plus, I share why 2025 was a collective "shedding" year (Year of the Snake, numerology 9) and why 2026 is primed for new beginnings (Year of the Horse, numerology 1), along with the major astrological transits shaping our year ahead.

In This Episode:

• My untold infertility story and the Reiki session that healed me
• What it means when your heart is "exiled" from your body
• Introducing The Nurture Code framework
• Why I'm pivoting my work to support women through heartbreak & fertility challenges
• The cosmic timing of 2026: Saturn-Neptune conjunction, Uranus in Gemini, and more
• How to work with me in this new direction

Mentioned:

• Bela Divine (Inner Child Healing Mentor & Guide)
• Christy Marsh (Reiki Master)
• Joy Woodward's "The Beginner's Guide to Numerology"
• HeartMath & Gregg Braden

Discover what it means to be a Generator in Human Design—the energizer batteries that make up 70% of the world's population. In this episode, host Crystal Dascomb breaks down how Generators are designed to move through life, including:

• Understanding your sacral center and how it fuels your sustainable energy
• The power of responding vs. initiating (and why waiting doesn't mean doing nothing)
• How to recognize when you're in alignment (satisfaction) vs. out of alignment (frustration)
• The generator plateau and why you might be quitting too soon
• Practical tips for parents raising Generator children
• How to support Generator partners, coworkers, and friends

If you're a Generator, this episode will help you understand why you've been forcing things that don't light you up—and how to finally trust your sacral response to guide you toward work that brings satisfaction. If you have Generators in your life, you'll learn how to support their energy without draining your own.

Stop pushing, start responding, and discover how your natural energy is designed to flow.

Dive deep into the world of Manifestors—the rare initiators who make up just 9% of the population. In this comprehensive episode, Crystal explores what it means to be a Manifestor in Human Design, covering everything from their powerful closed aura and undefined sacral center to their unique strategy of informing others.

Learn why Manifestors are natural innovators who see the way forward, how their creative flow works in spurts rather than steady energy, and why they need rest periods unlike the Generator energy types. Crystal explains the Manifestor's challenge with anger when not living in alignment, their need for peace, and how their throat center connects directly to motor centers to bring ideas into form.

Whether you're a Manifestor yourself, parenting a Manifestor child, or in a relationship with one, this episode provides essential insights into working with—not against—this powerful energy type. Discover why Manifestors don't need permission, how their internal non-verbal creative process works, and why informing others is crucial to their success and relationships.

Topics covered include:

• The undefined sacral and what it means for energy management
• The closed/repelling aura and its impact on relationships
• Decision-making authority types for Manifestors
• Supporting Manifestor children in school and at home
• Navigating romantic relationships as or with a Manifestor
• Why Manifestors start but don't always finish projects—and why that's okay

Perfect for anyone looking to understand this trailblazing energy type and create more harmony in their relationships with the Manifestors in their life.

Crystal also weaves in themes of the upcoming Virgo season—highlighting healing, daily rituals, and being of service. She shares personal practices for tuning into your inner compass and offers inspiration for building your own daily routines to connect deeper with your intuition.

Key Themes:
