Today, we’re diving into the rich and transformative energies of Human Design Gate 9, "The Gate of Focus," set against the backdrop of a Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius and the bustling energy of the holiday season. Together, these cosmic influences invite us to find clarity amidst chaos, embrace patience, and discover joy in the smallest moments—a much-needed gift during this time of year.
We’ll explore how Gate 9 encourages us to take small, deliberate steps toward our goals while resisting distractions, and how Mercury Retrograde offers a perfect opportunity for recalibration and self-reflection. From communication hiccups to rethinking our ambitions, this is a time to slow down, simplify, and realign with what truly matters.
With the holidays often bringing emotional intensity, I’ll share practical tips to stay grounded, including a brilliant strategy from my sister-in-law to redirect tricky conversations (hint: it involves dinosaurs!). Plus, we’ll reflect on how focusing on moments of joy—whether through gratitude, humor, or connection—can anchor us and bring light to even the busiest or most challenging days.

Saturday Nov 23, 2024
Saturday Nov 23, 2024
Who are you when the noise gets intense? Or when it fades? In this episode, we explore the sacred power of being through the wisdom of Human Design Gate 34 and Gene Key 34. From the reactive shadow of Force to the aligned strength of Majesty, we uncover how to reclaim your raw, innate power—not by proving, but by flowing in harmony with your true self.
We’ll also explore the Karpman Drama Triangle and how Human Design Types can shift out of disempowering roles like Victim, Rescuer, or Persecutor. By honoring your Strategy and Authority, you can transcend drama and embody your authentic power.
Finally, we share practical tools to ground your energy: pause before acting, connect with your body, and reflect on Who am I uninterrupted?
Step into your quiet majesty and let Gate 34 guide you back to your essence. Let’s continue the conversation on social media, and remember—magic lives in the mundane.

Journey into the Underworld: Human Design, Mars, Pluto & Scorpio New Moon
Friday Nov 01, 2024
Friday Nov 01, 2024
In this episode, we’re diving into themes of transformation and release, inspired by the New Moon in Scorpio and the potent Mars-Pluto opposition. These energies echo myths of descent and rebirth—like those of Persephone, Inanna, and Orpheus—inviting us to confront shadows, surrender ego, and reclaim inner power.
We explore how this underworld theme resonates with Human Design Gate 44, which brings awareness to survival and relationship patterns. This energy offers a chance to recognize and release old cycles, heal generational patterns, and set empowered new beginnings.
With Mars opposing Pluto, we’re challenged to confront power dynamics and break destructive cycles, empowering ourselves to align with authentic relationships and deeper intuition. Join us for practical tips, reflection prompts, and insights on grounding this transformative energy as we move into this powerful lunar phase.

Quiet the Mind: From Mental Chatter and Overload to Calm
Friday Oct 18, 2024
Friday Oct 18, 2024
Do you find your mind stuck in loops, trying to process every detail? In this episode, we explore how the wisdom of Gate 32 and your Anja center—whether defined or undefined—can help bring mental clarity. Gate 32 reminds us to trust in the long-term vision, allowing us to release the need for immediate answers. One key insight we'll explore is how the mind, when focused inwardly too much, can spiral in on itself. By offering your thoughts outward—through expression, connection, or service—you allow your mind to breathe and flow. Whether your Anja is consistent or influenced by others, embracing this flow helps shift from mental overwhelm to a sense of ease and trust in life’s unfolding.

Leaning into Your Human Design in Times of Crisis
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
Thursday Oct 10, 2024
In this episode, I’m reflecting on the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Helene and how leaning into your Human Design can help guide you through a crisis. After taking a week to navigate my own emotional and mental rollercoaster, I’m sharing how my defined centers in my chart both supported me and challenged me in the process. By turning to somatic and shamanic practices, I was able to get back to a place of calm and be a steady support for those around me. I want to highlight how important it is to understand your own Human Design so you can manage your emotions and show up for your community when it matters most. I encourage you to pay attention to your open and defined centers—this is where you’re influenced and what you’re putting out into the world. Knowing this can make all the difference, especially in times of crisis.

Living Your Mythic Life with HD & Gene Keys
Friday Sep 27, 2024
Friday Sep 27, 2024
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of living a mythic life — one filled with purpose, passion, and soul-level connection — by exploring your Design Venus, or the SQ (Spiritual Quotient) in Gene Keys. The SQ represents your emotional journey and how you connect with the world from the heart, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a sacred gateway that invites you to step beyond just surviving and into thriving as the hero of your own story.
We’ll talk about what it means to live your life as a personal hero’s journey, where each challenge is an invitation to grow and where your emotional experiences unlock deeper wisdom. I’ll also share insights from my own experience with Gene Key 14, and how moving from the shadow of compromise to the gift of competence shifted my perspective on abundance and creative flow.
Join me for some heart-centered practices that will guide you in embodying your SQ and stepping into the magic of living fully from the heart. This is all about infusing your everyday life with meaning, transformation, and the beauty of your unique sacred story. Let’s dive into your mythic life together!

In this episode, we’re diving into the transformative power of the "messy middle." You know that space where life feels a bit chaotic, like you’re shedding the old but haven’t fully stepped into the new? Yep, that's the messy middle, and it's not something to dread—it’s actually where all the magic happens! We'll explore how this period of uncertainty, emotional turbulence, and inner conflict is a gateway to deep personal growth and self-discovery. I’ll share how understanding your Human Design and Gene Keys—especially your unconscious Mars placement—can give you profound clarity and guidance through these transitions. This is all about learning to trust the process, leaning into the discomfort, and embracing the evolution unfolding within you.

In this episode, we explore why traditional therapy, while incredibly valuable, may not always be enough for those seeking deep, transformative healing. Therapy often focuses on the conscious mind, offering essential tools for understanding our thoughts and emotions.
But modalities like Human Design, Gene Keys, and Shamanism delve deeper, addressing the energetic, spiritual, and unconscious layers of our being. We discuss how these practices can complement therapy, helping us to align with our true essence, unlock hidden potential, and reclaim fragmented parts of ourselves. By integrating these transformative modalities with therapy, we can achieve a holistic approach to healing that taps into the full spectrum of mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you're new to these practices or looking for deeper insight, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it means to truly heal and transform from the inside out.
