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.

Returning to the show is friend and frequent guest Nadia Gabrielle.

You may have heard past episodes with Nadia on all things Projectors, having a Self-Projected Authority, Subconscious Capacity Building, Service Design, and more.

In this episode, you’ll hear two Projectors deeply recognizing each other as we discuss why expanding into products is supportive for service providers to manage their energy and avoid burnout.

Nadia has just opened the doors to her latest offering, Product Design School, so we discuss:

• What is Product Design and how it differs from Service Design?

• When should a business owner expand into Products?

• Nadia’s “winter of discontent,” how it affected her health, and how her sustainable product offering afforded her the time and space to take care of herself and heal

• How she partners Human Design with solid business strategies

• My personal experience as a student in Service Design School and working with Nadia in a one-in-one capacity on my own subconscious capacity building and how I’m expanding into products

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.

In this episode, I’m joined by Katrina Paraskevopoulos.

Katrina is a Certified Life and Success Coach, NLP Practitioner, Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant, and Certified Personal Trainer. She’s certified in Basic Theta Healing, hypnotherapy, and EFT and has a Bachelor of Science in Biopsychology.

Katrina founded Eyia Wellness, a corporate wellness company specializing in bringing wellness to the workplace through services such as movement classes, meditation, yoga, fun team-building workshops, and seminars!

In 2023, she moved to Greece from the San Francisco Bay Area, where she also runs Eyia Retreats, a retreat & travel company.

You’ll hear us chat about:

• What is hypnosis, and how its used for wellness

• The conscious and subconscious minds

• Mindset and personal growth

• And, of course - all about Greece and her wellness retreats - which I’m hoping to attend in the near future - who’s joining me?!

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been asked, “Will Human Design tell me what I'm supposed to be doing?”...

In this episode, I answer this frequently asked question and discuss;

• What asking this is indicative of

• Why Human Design isn’t limiting or predictive

• The role of your Incarnation Cross

One of the things I’m frequently asked about is parenting with Human Design. The Human Design part I can share about, but the parenting part - not so much.

So, in this episode, I invited Maggie Hilpisch, a colleague who applies Human Design in parenting her three children.

Maggie fell in love with and has been feverishly studying Human Design since 2020 (we were in the same Human Design certification program together!). She works with individuals, couples, and small groups, as well as brings Human Design into the workplace, where Human Design is a key part of her role at her 9-5 job!

Human Design is the primary lens that she views the world through and it's transformed how she shows up for herself and others. Maggie is a 2/4 Splenic Projector, her husband is a 3 /5 Sacral Generator, and she has three boys - a 3 /5 Manifesting Generator and a set of 4 / 6 Generator identify twins (with identical Human Designs!).

In this episode, you’ll hear Maggie and I discuss:

• Musings on being Splenic Projectors

• How she parents her three boys, who are under the age of four, through the lens of Human Design

• Practical, actional examples that she uses that we can all put into practice immediately!

This week marks the sixth anniversary of this podcast and my 25th year in San Francisco!

So, to celebrate, I put myself on the hot seat to answer all the questions reflecting on it.

And who better to interview me than a friend, podcaster emeritus, and someone who loves San Francisco as much as I do - Diane Sanfilippo!

Diane and I go behind the scenes and share:

• Lessons learned from podcasting and how we’ve evolved from it

• How podcasting aligns with my (and our) Human Designs

• What brought us to the San Francisco Bay Area

• What we love about San Francisco and why we still love it so much

• Things we haven’t yet done in San Francisco that we still want to do
