In this episode, I invite you to slow down and create space between an emotional wave and the unconscious urge to fix it — in yourself or in someone else.

So much of our suffering doesn’t come from feeling, but from what we do next. From trying to manage, explain, control, or bypass emotion instead of allowing it to move.

I share lived experiences from partnership and parenting, and offer a simple but powerful inquiry that has changed how I relate to my emotions and the emotions of the people I love: Is this mine?

Is this mine to move, to witness, to hold, or to release?

I also gently acknowledge that we experience emotion differently — including emotionally defined and undefined experiences in Human Design — without turning emotion into something to fix or solve.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by feeling, unsure what to do with your own emotions, or caught in patterns of fixing or carrying what isn’t yours, this episode is an invitation back to space, clarity, and embodied trust.

✨ Companion Practice✨

If this inquiry resonates, I’ve also created a guided emotional discernment practice, Is This Mine?, to support you in meeting emotional energy with presence rather than urgency. It’s designed as a simple, repeatable touchstone you can return to — especially in moments when feeling is strong and you want to respond from clarity rather than reflex.

This is the first episode of 2026 — and the opening transmission of Season 2 of Designed for More.

And I’m coming in hot. 🔥

This episode is for the moments when you’re certain, but not yet clear. When you know something has ended… or something new is calling… but you don’t have the plan, the language, or the “how.”

Most of us are taught to treat that space as a problem. As confusion. As something to fix or rush through.

I see it very differently.

In this episode, I invite you into a completely new orientation — one where lack of clarity isn’t a failure, but pure potential. Where the not-knowing isn’t empty, but alive. Where the pressure you feel isn’t something to escape, but something to stay with.

This is an energetic reframe — a place to stand. A field to be in. We’ll explore:

• why certainty almost always comes before clarity
• how demanding clarity can actually narrow possibility
• what it means to stand inside the unknown with curiosity, pleasure, and faith
• and how staying here builds the capacity to receive what you’re moving toward

If you’re in a threshold…
If you’re early…
If you’re standing in the before…

This episode is an invitation to stop bracing — and start expanding.

Welcome to Season 2. Let’s begin!

If you’re in a threshold, it’s not an accident — it’s a sign of readiness.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on thresholds — those moments when something ends inside you before it ends outside you. When a role, relationship, way of working, or version of yourself no longer fits… and you can feel that something new is quietly calling you forward.

We’re in a powerful moment of collective transition — the closing of a cycle, the approach of the winter solstice, and the natural descent at the end of the year. It’s no surprise that so many women I sit with right now are standing in a threshold.

This episode is for you if you feel like you’re between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming — if you know something is shifting, even if you can’t see the full path yet.

I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m here to walk with you.

In this conversation, I share what I’ve lived and what I’ve witnessed again and again — about what thresholds ask of us, what they offer us, and what I know to be true about moving through them with more trust, honesty, and ease.

If you’re here, you’re not behind. You’re not lost. And you’re not doing it wrong.

Threshold Ritual

If something in this episode resonated in your body, I’ve created a short threshold ritual to support this moment.

This is a 10-minute, embodied journey designed to help you meet the threshold you’re already standing in and allow the crossing to happen from the body — led by the heart, not the mind.

You don’t need to know what’s on the other side. You only need to stay open.

You can access the ritual here.

Reflectors are not here to rush decisions or force certainty. They are here to feel truth unfold over time.

In this episode, we close the Strategy series by exploring Reflector strategy — often described as “waiting a lunar cycle,” but so rarely understood in its depth.

This is a conversation about why time is not a delay for Reflectors, but an essential ingredient. About how clarity reveals itself through experience, reflection, and changing perspective. And about what it means to live as a lunar being in a solar, fast-paced world.

We talk about decision-making without pressure, the importance of environment and trusted reflection, and how honouring your rhythm protects your sensitivity instead of shrinking your life.

If you’re a Reflector — or if you love, parent, or work with one — this episode offers a spacious, embodied understanding of why your timing is not a flaw, but a form of wisdom.

For Manifestors, “inform and initiate” is more than a strategy line from Human Design. It’s a lived, often painful experience of being reacted to, misunderstood, or shut down long before you had language for what was moving inside you.

In this episode, we move beyond the mechanics of strategy and into the felt experience of being a Manifestor: your aura, your nervous system, your voice, and the deep conditioning that can make informing feel anything but natural.

We explore:

• Why people often react to you before you even speak
• How your closed aura impacts partners, friends, coworkers, and kids
• Why informing isn’t about asking permission, but about easing nervous systems (including your own)
• How your voice functions as a creative force — turning internal urges into external reality
• The throat conditioning many Manifestors carry after being punished or misunderstood for their impact
• What happens after the urge: the energy drop, resentment, and push to keep going
• How informing at the beginning and the end of a cycle can soften dynamics and make your life easier

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much,” “hard to read,” or somehow wrong for the way you move through the world, this conversation is here to offer relief, language, and a path toward more honest, less exhausting relationships — without you shrinking one bit.

This episode sits beside Manifestor Strategy: Urge, Surge, Inform & Rest. Together, they give you both the mechanics and the humanity of what it means to be a Manifestor.

If you’re a Manifestor in Human Design, you’ve likely heard that your strategy is to “inform and initiate.” But why does that matter? What does informing actually do? And how do you know when an urge is real — or when you’re about to burn out?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between an urge and a random idea
• How to recognize the surge that gives you the energy to act
• The real purpose of informing (hint: it's not about asking permission)
• Why Manifestors struggle with sustainability and consistency
• How to prevent burnout by honoring the rest cycle
• What makes Manifestors powerful initiators in relationships and business
• How others can best support a Manifestor’s creative process

Whether you’re a Manifestor, raising one, or loving one, this episode offers the clarity and practical insight needed to live your design with more ease and less resistance.

This episode sits beside Why Informing Feels so Hard: The Relational and Nervous System Piece. Together, they give you both the mechanics and the humanity of what it means to be a Manifestor.

In this episode, I’m sharing a truth I found during an unexpected pause from social media — something that recalibrated how I think about showing up, creating, and being seen in my business.

After more than a month offline, all the pressure came rushing in:
I should be posting.
I should be consistent.
I should be growing my reach.
I should be doing more.

But as I settled back into myself — into my body and into my design — I remembered something important: my Human Design isn’t just a personal tool. It’s my marketing strategy.

As a 2/4 Emotional Generator, I’m not built for daily output or big-reach visibility. My creativity comes from quiet, my impact comes through relationships, and my clarity arrives in emotional waves. And I see this pattern in so many of my clients too — they’re trying to build businesses in ways their energy was never designed to sustain.

In this episode, I walk you through what happens when you let your design guide how you show up online, how you create, and how you connect with your audience. If you’ve ever felt behind, inconsistent, or overwhelmed by social media, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

When my water well recently collapsed, it cracked open far more than a plumbing problem ;) What followed was a deep initiation into money, safety, lineage, nervous system rewiring, and the lifelong pattern of carrying too much.

In this episode, I share the ceremony I didn’t sign up for — the one that arrived disguised as invoices, mud, and fear. Through the Ten of Wands and Eight of Cups reversed, a 9-year cycle closing, retirement savings withdrawals, a 350-ft well, and three sick kids, I reveal how life guided me into the truth:

You can put it down and still be safe.

This episode is a blend of personal storytelling, collective reflection, metaphor, and guided meditation — an invitation to release the belief that safety comes from effort and to return to deeper flow.
