Human Sessions10. Living In Your Season and Embracing Winter RhythmsHow are you spending your winter? In this episode, we explore the concept of "wintering" as a period of rest, reflection, and recovery to prepare for sustainable growth. We discuss the importance of listening to your body, setting energetic boundaries, and focusing on the positives of winter, such as coziness, hobbies, and quiet introspection. By letting go of limiting beliefs and decluttering your mind, body, and spirit, you can create space for creativity and action - even if you’re stuck indoors!

Following Helpful vs. Unhelpful Routines and HabitsAll the new year chatter is around healthy vs. unhealthy habits, but what if we instead framed things as “helpful” or “unhelpful”? In this episode, we’re discussing the importance of personal rituals and routines, the influence of human design on these practices, and how sometimes the most healing thing you can do is cozy up on the couch with a comfort show and takeout. We talk through the importance of listening to your body, evaluating your needs, and making the decision that feels most helpful to your present and future self.

Anti-Resolution, Personal Revolution | Using Human Design to Set Your Goals for the New YearIt’s the end of the year, which means it’s about that time when we’re bombarded with messages like “new year, new you,” and reflecting on what we did (and didn’t) accomplish. We’d like to propose an alternative strategy for goal setting: saying f*ck it to the capitalistic roots of resolutions and saying yes to setting goals for your authentic self. In this episode, we share how we use human design to set our own goals, and how we keep our humanity at the center of it all.

Most of us were never taught how to talk about grief, so when someone we love is going through grief, we don’t always know the right things to say. In this episode, we’re exploring what makes sitting in grief so difficult, how to support people through grief, and how we’ve coped with grief in both healthy and not-so-healthy ways. Plus, how to set boundaries and avoid triggering family members during the holidays.

What Is Human Design? | Origins, Types, and How It’s Supported Our Professional & Personal GrowthHuman design is an increasingly popular method of self-exploration to promote your growth both personally and professionally, but it is not a personality test. Human design is based on the date, time, and place of your birth, but before you write it off as too woo-woo, it’s such a specific and accurate strengths assessment that you’ll wonder why you didn’t have your chart read sooner. In this episode, we explain exactly where human design came from, how it became a tool for our development, and how it can benefit you in your own life.
