   Episode 182 ~ From Atheist Neuroscientist to Infinite Awareness: Dr. Marjorie Woollacott on Meditation, Consciousness & the Unseen

   Episode 182 ~ From Atheist Neuroscientist to Infinite Awareness: Dr. Marjorie Woollacott on Meditation, Consciousness & the Unseen What happens when a neuroscientist who doesn’t believe in God has an experience that science alone can’t seem to explain? Dr. Marjorie Woollacott spent her career studying the brain and nervous system. An Emeritus Professor and former Chair of Human Physiology at the University of Oregon, she has published more than 200 scientific articles and has taught neuroscience, rehabilitation, complementary medicine, and meditation. But as a young adult, Marjorie walked into a meditation group as an atheist—and experienced something that would change the direction of her life. She encountered what she describes as a profound, golden love. Something deeply familiar. Something that felt like home. And she wanted to understand it. In this episode of Rising Inner Shift, we explore Marjorie’s journey from atheist scientist to someone willing to consider that consciousness may extend beyond what we can see—or even beyond the brain itself. We talk about meditation and what actually happens in the brain when we meditate, consciousness, spirituality, science, transformative experiences, and the possibility that our understanding of who we are may still be incomplete. Marjorie Woollacott, Ph.D., is President of the Academy for the Advancement of Post-Materialist Sciences (AAPS), Research Director for the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS), Co-Director of the Galileo Commission, and author of Infinite Awareness: The Awakening of a Scientific Mind. This conversation sits at the heart of what Rising Inner Shift is about: staying curious, questioning what we think we know, and exploring how we can live a more intentional, heart-centered life while asking one of humanity’s oldest questions: Why are we here? 🌿 Ready to go deeper?

   Episode 181 ~ How to Understand Your Family Through Human Design (Real Charts, Real Dynamics)

   Episode 181 ~ How to Understand Your Family Through Human Design (Real Charts, Real Dynamics)What if the tension, misunderstandings, or differences within your family weren’t problems to fix but patterns to understand? In this episode of Rising Inner Shift, Tanya continues her Human Design series with Margaret Lipsey, diving deeper into her family’s charts—this time exploring not just one child, but the entire family dynamic in real time. Beginning with her eldest son’s design, the conversation expands into how each family member is uniquely wired—and how those differences shape the way they interact, communicate, and coexist under one roof. Together, they explore: • How each person’s aura type influences family dynamics • Why children (and adults) respond differently to guidance, structure, and freedom • How decision-making varies within a household and why that matters • What shifts when you stop trying to make everyone the same and start honoring each person’s design This episode offers a powerful reframe: Your family is not meant to function as one uniform system, but as an ecosystem of different energies learning how to work together. ✨ Part of a multi-episode Human Design series exploring alignment, relationships, and embodied living. ✨ Ready to take your reflection deeper?

   Episode 180 ~ Understanding Ourselves & Each Other: Human Design Through a Family Lens

   Episode 180 ~ Understanding Ourselves & Each Other: Human Design Through a Family Lens Understanding Ourselves & Each Other: Human Design Through a Family Lens What happens when you look at Human Design not just as a tool for self-discovery… but as a way to understand the people you live with every day? In this episode of Rising Inner Shift, Tanya continues her Human Design series with guide Margaret Lipsey, taking the conversation into deeply personal territory. Margaret now has the Human Design charts for Tanya’s entire family and together they explore what happens when you begin to see your household as an energetic ecosystem rather than a group of people trying to operate the same way. In this conversation, they explore: • How Human Design can help us understand the natural differences between family members • Why conflict in families is often energetic misalignment rather than personality clashes • What parents can learn about supporting their children’s unique design • How awareness of aura types, authority, and profiles can transform the way we communicate and coexist As Margaret walks through the charts in real time, Tanya begins to see her family dynamics through a completely new lens. One rooted in curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person’s natural rhythm. If you’ve ever wondered why the people you love the most can also challenge you the most, this episode offers a powerful new perspective. ✨ This episode is part of a special Human Design series exploring how alignment can reshape the way we live, relate, and lead. The journey toward alignment continues.
