#30 The Mother Urge
<p>This is a recording of me reading my latest Substack post and wanted to share the audio here. </p><p>Recently I’ve felt pulled to share more about my journey into motherhood and how it came to me much “later in life” than others. I put quotes around it because I feel time is a wild thing to try to label and in general, society has very much tried to give us parameters on what is “appropriate” for our lives. I truly believe that every woman’s fertility and motherhood journeys are so unique. There is no right or wrong, and all paths can come with its benefits as well as challenges.</p><p><strong>I didn’t start trying for babies until after 40.</strong></p><p>If you would prefer to read or see the full Substack post here is the link: https://open.substack.com/pub/chrissybeth/p/the-mother-urge?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web</p>

Episode 28 — My Projector Husband: Life, Parenting and Purpose Through a Projector’s Lens
<p>In this episode, I sit down with my husband Craig — a Projector in Human Design — and we have one of the most honest and intimate conversations we’ve shared on the podcast.</p><p><br></p><p>I ask him about what life actually feels like inside the body and experience of a Projector, how he parents as a Projector, and how understanding his design has shaped the way he shows up as a father, a partner and a business owner.</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about:</p><p><br></p><p><strong>What it feels like to live as a Projector</strong></p><p>Craig shares how he experiences the world, how he manages his energy, and what shifted for him when Human Design finally started to make sense.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Parenting as a Projector</strong></p><p>We explore how understanding his design changed the way he connects with our kids, supports them, and holds space for them without pushing himself into burnout.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Marriage, recognition and being truly seen</strong></p><p>Craig opens up about what helps him feel understood and supported in our relationship, and how important recognition is for him as a Projector.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Leaving the city and choosing a different path</strong></p><p>We talk about the decision to leave city life, buy the farm, and create a rhythm for our family that feels aligned and sustainable — even when it didn’t make sense on paper.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Alone time, creativity and nervous system needs</strong></p><p>Craig shares how he balances his deep need for solitude with parenting, partnership, business and responsibility, and why honouring this has been essential for his wellbeing.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The early lessons</strong></p><p>We reflect on the biggest things he learned when he first discovered he was a Projector, and how that understanding changed the way he approaches decisions and direction.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Conscious fatherhood and entrepreneurship</strong></p><p>From running the farm to building businesses to raising our kids with awareness, Craig talks about the lessons, challenges, and breakthroughs that have shaped him along the way.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation is raw, grounded and very real. If you’re a Projector — or you’re raising one, partnered with one, or love one — my hope is that this episode helps you understand them more deeply.</p><p><br></p><p>For more resources and programs on Human Design and to get your free Human Design Chart, you can visit:</p><p><strong>www.chrissybethcoaching.com</strong></p>
