What if it's not a label, and instead a permission slip?
We collect labels all our lives.
Some we love and some we hate.
Bossy. Sensitive. Overachiever. Lazy.
And later those labels become roles, and sometimes even identities: lawyer, mom, coordinator, creative.
Some feel empowering. Some feel limiting.
That Spring Buzzing 🐝
I’ve been creating a private podcast for an upcoming project (stay tuned for the exciting announcement in May), and I’ve been having so much fun with it. That got me thinking…
What if Unfolding: A Newsletter also had a friend...Unfolding: A Podcast?
Your Family Connections
One of the things I love most about Human Design is how it can completely shift the way you see your family.
Where does your power lie?
Let’s talk about Defined Centers—the parts of your Human Design chart where your energy is steady and reliable.
These appear as the colored shapes in your chart and represent your natural strengths—the places where your energy is consistent and grounded.
Your Biggest Lessons
Have you ever walked into a room and felt the energy instantly? Like you just know there’s tension—or maybe excitement—even before anyone says a word?
What role are you meant to play?
What if you could uncover the role you’re here to play in life and the purpose guiding your journey?
That’s what your Profile and Incarnation Cross reveal in Human Design.
Your Inner Wisdom
Have you ever said yes to something and later regretted it—or secretly hoped it would fall through? That used to be me too!
There is nothing wrong…
I wanted to share a bit of my journey because, trust me, I know what it’s like to second-guess yourself.
For years, I made decisions based on what I thought I should do—picking careers and saying yes to things that didn’t light me up.
What’s Your Type?
What if there was a road map that showed how you’re designed to move through life, one that showed your natural way of working with your energy instead of fighting against it?
🌟 You're Doing It 🌟
Have you paused recently to celebrate how far you’ve come?
In western society, we're taught to have big dreams or big goals. We're raised to always be looking forward to the next big thing. Yet we forget to turn around and look how far we've come.
How often do you turn around when you've taken a walk or a hike to notice how far you've come?
Respond, Don’t Chase
Most of my clients are Manifesting Generators or Generators and their strategy is "To Respond."
Responding can be so simple and one of the most challenging aspects to grasp. When clients begin to work with their designs, it starts to make more sense.
Total eclipse of the…
Holy moly, these past few weeks have been a true transition. Have you been feeling the shift in the air?
We moved through a lunar eclipse on September 17 and a solar eclipse on October 2.
Eclipse season is an interesting time when things get revealed – what we need to let go of, what’s outdated, and how we can clear space for the new.
Embracing all the Shift
Just like in western astrology, Human Design has its own set of transits. These are moments when the sun, moon and planets move through different gates in your Human Design chart. When these gates are activated, they influence your energy, much like how astrological transits impact your zodiac sign.
The sun moved into Gate 6, where it will stay until midday Friday, September 20 (CDT).
In traditional Human Design, this is the Gate of Friction, also known as the Gate of Discernment. Gate 6 represents emotional energy around relationships, both intimate and social, encouraging us to be more thoughtful about who we connect with and how.
Are you really there?
I recently took the week off before school started to spend with my daughter, we call it "Best Week with Mom (Ever)."
Towards the end of the week, she said "you've hardly spent time with me." I took a pause because I had been with her more that week than any other week since Spring Break.
The Weight of Expectations
I was visiting with a client the other day, and something she said really struck me. She mentioned coming from a family where her dad had done well in his career, and with that came certain expectations—maintaining appearances, presenting a specific image.
Knee-Deep in a “Should” Storm
My Reiki master says, "'Shoulds' cause sore shoulders. Don't should on yourself."
Have you ever found yourself knee-deep in a "should" storm?
What's a "should" storm? It's a mind game of all of the spiraling thoughts of the things you think you "should" have done differently.
I certainly did last week.
What I learned from a mama duck…
Over the last month, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting a mallard duck’s nest in the planter attached to the front of our house.
It’s a love story…
There are experiences that are memorable and those that are truly transformative. This weekend was one such transformative experience. I had the honor of officiating my daughter's birthmother's wedding.
I didn't hit my goal!
This is a story of why not hitting my goal is a celebration.
So why am I celebrating?
Failing in public
We’re taught that we need to be good students and an A is expected. For the overachievers among us, failing can feel unacceptable. So we only learn that perfection is preferred and failing or making mistakes is bad.
