Gilbert Simpson met Human Design a little over a year ago via a mystical experience that involved a dreaming of the bodygraph before he knew what it was. Naturally inquisitive, he followed his intuitive guidance which led him to meeting Ra Uru Hu, the founder of Human Design via Youtube. Discovering his design offered Gil affirmation about his very nature and enhanced his ongoing journey toward self empowerment, mastery and creation. This 5/1 emotional Manifestor from Costa Rica is a musician, digital marketer and mentor who experiences a profound sense of joy and peace living a free life in alignment with his unique Human Design. In this episode Gil shares how he discovered Human Design, how it's supported his personal evolution and we learn about the correlations behind this school of thought and Rastafari culture. Gil even sings a Bob Marley number for us!

Caitlin Smith has known about Human Design for a little while now, but discovered a deep resonance with it relatively recently. This emotional 3/5 Generator has weathered vastness in her life experience, coloured by emotional depth and a strong relationship to her intuitive responses. Her experimental journey has led her to living her dharma as a solopreneur providing personalized, guided meditations to her community. Inspired by the wonder of her natural surroundings in North-east Oregon, she trusts life to pulse through her - whether it's being open to receiving and delivering the gift of guidance in the meditations she creates, the coffee tonic recipes she shares or the inherent zest she has for living purposefully. She'll be the first to tell you that arriving at this place was not without pain, struggle and heartache, but without these experiences, she'll also tell you she wouldn't have discovered grace for her process or the depth of gratitude she has for the life she's built now. In this episode, Nikki offers commentary on how the aspects Caitlin shares of her journey relate to the inherent energies of her Human Design. 

In this episode, Nikki explains the basics of Human Design, the energy types and how you can relate to them in order to best support your experience of life. This is the first of a two-part episode where Nikki and Caitlin of Caitlin Curiosity share in conversation exchanging their stories and experiences living their own Human Design experiment and how it has helped them make radical strides to step into their power and expand their awareness of how they are uniquely designed to dance with life. This first episode focuses on Nikki's story.

As we experience a global slow-down, there's no better time to envision how we can impact the evolution of humanity in this next chapter. We know that if if great change is to be made in our lives, we have to start with ourselves first. Mike Campbell, Australian-based mens coach is passionate about challenging the narrative around "masculinity" and what it means to exist as a man in integrity in our world today. From sharing his own experiences that led him into deep self enquiry and ultimately the work he does, Mike delivers insights around some of the key areas where men (and women) are disconnected, and how this impacts relationship. He sheds light onto the differences between how men and women process problems and communicate and how in understanding and embracing these differences, the feminine and masculine can co-exist harmoniously.

A great episode for men, inviting them to use this time to dive inward and also excellent for women, who can better understand what drives the masculine energy in their person. 

Bram Levinson is a yoga and meditation teacher, acclaimed author of two books, coach & mentor and the host of The Examined Life podcast. Bram's introspective nature and irreverent perspective toward human constructs and systems is humorous as hell and grounded in yogic philosophy. In today's episode, Bram and Nikki discuss fear and how it manifests individually and collectively, particularly at the moment with the spotlight on Coronavirus, which has been deemed a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. Bram suggests the anxiety toward potentially contracting COVID-19 is an opportunity to re-examine our relationship to fear itself and whether or not we are taking full agency in designing our lives to be what we want it to be. This conversation provokes us to wonder; how do we choose to show up in times of stress? And why are we allowing perspective and humanity to fly out the window? Bram sees this current pandemic as a wake-up call for us all, listen in to discover why. 

It’s so fun to talk about topics society has deemed taboo. Jay Win was born in Burma and always resented the patriarchy there. She speaks openly about her experience with gender fluidity and sexuality and the awkward dinner conversation that was had when she came out to her parents. Jay is light, reverent, funny, honest and together with Nikki Jae, they dive into curly topics ranging from moving countries, the healing benefits of regular meditation, mental illness, plant medicine and entrepreneurship. Jay recently founded the IOS application Bagation, a service for travellers to Australia looking for a safe place to store their luggage. Everyone is on their own path and this is a slice of Jay Win’s journey.

This episode has a trigger warning for its content discusses mental illness.

It's easy to think, "that happened so long ago, it can't possibly be impacting me now!" Whether it's a small childhood trauma, big adolescent wound or you never quite healed from your first boyfriend or girlfriend cheating on you - past, un-processed hardships are stored in the body and can cause us to respond in some potentially unhelpful ways in the present. Ashley Berry is a healer from Ojai California and her work involves the use of a variety of modalities to support her own healing and that of others. As a young girl, Ashley was forced to grow up quickly upon experiencing pervasive trauma in the home. Her formative years led her down a path of great understanding, spiritual growth and cultivating strong and meaningful ties to her community. Pain and suffering is the great equalizer and so often the fastest route to becoming self actualized. The grace and humility with which Ashley shares her story is nothing short of touching.

Canadian artist Libby Oliver is fascinated with objects as a form of communication. Her photography begs the question: What do our things reveal about our humanity? Libby's latest series called Soft Shells was exhibited at Musée de la civilisation in Quebec, Canada last summer and garnered media attention from The Guardian, CBC and many other outlets. Libby sat down with Nikki Jae at a busy, Brixton cafe at the end of last August to ponder questions about identity, how "things" communicate to us and the synergy that exists between our personal expression and the material world. Perhaps most importantly, this conversation reveals that all people are extraordinarily multi-dimensional and it is with the acceptance of this knowledge that we, as a collective, can begin transcending our own judgements towards others and hopefully heal the "us against them" mentality that permeates media messaging and our way of being in this world.
