After years of helping women connect to Spirit and understand who they are and why they're here using Human Design, I've noticed that ONE tool helps more than anything else when it comes to understanding their BodyGraph chart - real life examples.
Why? It helps them get past the jargon and into a lived experience they can relate to.
Here's the thing. Most of the charts and people that are most readily available to relate to are famous people. And...even though we may have their accurate chart, we're only able to relate to a FRACTION of how it shows up because, well, for most of them, we never experience the version of them that exists beyond public image.
This podcast changes that. Human Design IRL is a podcast by real women, for real women, about real (badass) women who are passionate, soulful, and spiritually connected.
Every episode I'll introduce you to one of them, and together, we'll explore how their Human Design shows up in everyday life.
You'll get a feel for what all the Human Design types, energy centers, gates, channels, profiles, incarnation crosses and beyond ACTUALLY look like through the lens of their story.
