To be authentic

I was at a thing today.

Thank you, , for featuring me and my "pearls" on your awesome Simplicity series for business leaders! 🥰🤗

Did you know your soul has an internal GPS? It’s that restlessness you feel in your belly when you have everything you ever thought you wanted yet still feel hollow inside.

I know that feeling well. I knew it at the age of 27 when I made more money working for myself than I ever thought I could make. I knew it at the age of 31 when I ended a relationship with the “perfect” partner because, while he would have been a devoted husband and father for the next 60 years, I didn’t believe in my ability to be an equally devoted wife and mother. I knew it at the age of 48 when my decisions had brought me to my knees financially, yet I still had one final creative itch to scratch before surrendering to an opportunity to work with a dear friend (and savior of sorts), bringing me the flexible stability I needed to finally rebuild my life around everything I knew to be true to me and nothing that was not.

If only I had known my Human Design before stepping into the extremes of my own personal Odyssey — before succumbing to the sirens of my mind that tore my life apart instead of making room for the wisdom my soul that stitched it back together.

If I had someone supporting me to be uniquely me, providing me with clarity and insights about how I’m uniquely wired and why I’m uniquely here along the way, I could have saved myself (and the people who cared about me) a lot of time, money, frustration, and worry.

If only I didn’t have to struggle and suffer in my quest to live true to me.

We’re here to support you in discovering and falling in love with who you uniquely are so that you may live your most authentic life.

I've already walked through the fire so you don't have to.

Notice. What are you feeling right now?

In this moment, do you feel satisfied or frustrated? Peaceful or angry? Successful or bitter? Surprise or disappointment?

These eight physical and emotional sensations are the wayfinding mechanism for the decisions you make that construct your life. Decisions that lead you toward or away from who you uniquely are. Decisions that allow you to ultimately realize your purpose for being here.

If you’re feeling frustrated, angry, bitter, or disappointed with the path you are currently on, your body is signaling a need for change.

Any major transition in life — career, divorce, parenting — is the perfect time to explore Human Design and how it can support you in living true to you. It can also support you in your role as a partner, parent, or leader in supporting your spouse/partner, children, and teams in realizing their unique potential and purpose.

In Human Design, the Channel of Logic (63-4) is my jam. Before I ever even saw my design, I would always describe myself as being excellent at pattern recognition. I considered it a superpower of sorts, especially when it came to strategy (which is really just pathfinding). It’s something I had long taken for granted, assuming it was a skill that I had developed (and that anyone could develop) because of my life’s experiences, rather than a natural gift that was the reason I was drawn to said experiences and career choices.

While 71% of the world is prone to experience overwhelm or confusion by all the information and ideas and thoughts floating through an undefined or open Head center, this massive chaos is my sandbox and the beginning of an elegant framework for me — a system of relationships and information hierarchy that allows others to see more clearly. The more information I have, the better. The broader I can zoom out to gather my bearings (what I call context), the more powerful the narrative, the more electric and inevitable and applicable the insight.

That is the primary role of my mind — to help others see more clearly. To reveal what may be hidden or seem “insignificant” about themselves, their relationships, their business trajectory and opportunities. This is why I love the field of Human Design — it is vast and confusing and chaotic to many, but to me, it's a symphony — a set of nested patterns that simply need a 1:1 translation to be profoundly felt and heard.

If you want to learn more about your unique Human Design — your hidden talents and true nature — click the link in our bio to download your free and to view our Living Your Design workshops (in-person and online). I’m also available for private coaching to guide you in living — and loving — the true you.

Human Design allowed me to fall in love with me. — HUDSON VALLEY HUMAN DESIGN I’ve spent decades second-guessing my natural enthusiasm for life and the way it manifests because it was too much for someone else. I made my world smaller and smaller to avoid being scrutinized and judged negatively for simply being me. And then I met my Human Design. That’s when I fell in lov...

Human Design is weird — but it works.

Like , it’s based on your birth data to calculate your personal imprint of planetary energies, but like , it recognizes the awesome power of individual and collective human energy — what we’re thinking, believing, and feeling — and how our energy/consciousness directly creates our world(s). (If you haven’t seen or read it yet, the wave vs. particle experiment is mind-blowing proof that where we place our attention matters.)

It’s easy to dismiss a system when it’s based on something as limited and random as birth data as new age, quack science. At the same time, it’s worth remembering that scientists and popular culture once said the same things about the Earth being round, the Earth revolving around the Sun, and the atom being the smallest unit of matter.

The wonderful thing about Human Design is that there’s nothing to believe. It’s simply the most personalized user manual into how you’re uniquely wired to thrive in this world — without your mind getting in the way. It captures your individuality — your life force, your energetic frequency, and your predisposition to conditioning — with great precision and depth.

But don’t take our word for it. Try it out for yourself. Click the link in our bio to download your free and to view our upcoming Living Your Design workshops in the heart of New York’s Hudson Valley.
