Are tracking apps harmful?

For the longest time, I didn’t know how to listen to my body.

In this episode, I discuss how tracking apps gave me data - completely personalized insights that helped me understand my body in real time every day.

I share how they taught me how to quantify my body functions in ways that aren’t obvious, ultimately helping me gain self-awareness and body awareness—not how some magazine, social media influencer, book, or TV show tells me how I “should” feel.

When speaking of their Human Design, I often hear language classifying things as “good” or “bad,” but there isn’t anything “good” or “bad” in one’s Human Design.

So, in the episode, I clarify the following misconceptions about Human Design:

1. Defined Centers are “good”

2. Undefined Centers are “bad”

3. Influence is “bad”

4. My Human Design doesn’t resonate with me, so it’s “wrong”

5. I’ve been conditioned, so I did something “wrong”

6. There’s always a “like for like” answer

…and how to reframe your perception of them.

Returning to the show is Julien Elizabeth, an astrologer, writer, and embodiment teacher. Julien integrates soulful perspectives, practical guidance, and impactful tools with compassion and authenticity to move through unexpected changes and major life transitions.

Julien previously appeared in Episodes 114, 216, and 229 for conversations on astrology and yoga nidra breathing.

In this episode, you’ll hear us discuss:

• How we approach astrology and the context in which we both apply it in our lives

• How she embraced her Human Design as a Projector and what happened when she surrendered to waiting for invitations

• Key astrological highlights for 2024 with examples of how to translate this into our everyday lives and, most importantly, what to do with it

As we enter the new year, it's a natural time for introspection, personal reflection, and a desire for positive change. In this episode, I delve into three key aspects to ponder as you consider meaningful goals to set for the coming year.

Human Design can be practically applied to all facets of life, including how we dress and present ourselves to the world.

In this episode, I’m joined by Alisa Koz, a sustainable personal stylist. Using Astrology and Human Design, Alisa offers personal styling services to help women connect to and express their true selves through fashion.

You’ll hear Alisa share:

• What does sustainability mean

• How she uses Astrological natal charts and Human Design and translates it to personal styling, alignment, and transformation

• Styling tips for proportion, starting a capsule wardrobe, and how to transition one's wardrobe to sustainable fashion

• And she used my natal chart to give me personal styling tips that were on point!

I love a good origin story! In this episode, I’m joined by Jess Lock, a yoga, mindset, and Human Design Guide who helps people learn how to recalibrate and align to a life they love.

You’ll hear:

• How Jes went from barely surviving corporate burnout to thriving

• The role yoga and Human Design played in her journey

• As graduates of the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, our perspectives on how Human Design takes bio-individuality beyond the plate

Returning to the show is Maggie Hilpisch. Maggie first joined me in Episode 267 on Parenting Through Human Design. While recording that episode, we realized we’re Splenic Projectors with two defined centers and one channel.

So, I invited Maggie back for a candid conversation on the similarities and differences between our designs.

You’ll hear us reflect and share insights on:

• Having Splenic Authorities

• Our 1 / 3 and 2 / 4 Profile Lines

• Working with seemingly contrasting parts of one’s design

• Self-doubt and overthinking

• Open Centers and conditioning

If you’re a long-time listener to this show, you’re familiar with frequent guest Nadia Gabrielle.

I’ve worked one-on-one with Nadia to expand my business strategy and subconscious capacity. As much as I logically understand what subconscious capacity is, it wasn’t until I started working with Nadia that I fully understood how powerful and necessary it is.

In this episode, I’m sharing some personal insights and takeaways from our work together on specific things I’ve done to expand my subconscious capacity.

It’s hard to narrow everything that Human Design has taught me to three things, but in this episode, I discuss three key things:

• Energy Management

• Boundaries

• Managing Expectations

...that Human Design has helped me better manage in ways that are more comfortable and correct for me.
