In today's episode I'm joined again by Ainslie MacLeod, a past life psychic who works with spirit guides to help people find their purpose and heal what they have carried in from other lifetimes. We talk about the shift in consciousness happening right now, why old souls are feeling the state of the world so heavily, and the pattern almost every empath will recognise: the narcissist does not create your wound, they find one that is already there and keep pressing on it. Ainslie explains why h...

In today's Weekly Wrap, I break down the mechanics that actually create your Human Design type, and why so many people who love Human Design have never been taught this part. I walk you through what makes a Manifestor, a Generator, a Manifesting Generator, a Projector and a Reflector, right down to the definition. A motor connected to the throat. A defined sacral. The splits that change everything. Once you understand this, you start to see why two Projectors can show up in completely differe...

In today's episode I'm bringing you the Weekly Wrap, and I'm starting with a human design cheat sheet on aura mechanics, because the manifestor "repelling" aura gets a lot of bad press and I want to clear it up. Repelling isn't rejection. If you're a manifestor, your aura is doing exactly what it's meant to do: moving the people who aren't your people out of the way so you can inspire the ones you are here to inspire. I run through all five auras so you can feel the difference, from the magne...

In today's episode I am joined by Todd Shipman, a functional nutritionist and biohacker who set out to debunk quantum energy as a scam and ended up working for the company he was trying to expose. Todd spent years as the sceptic in the alternative health space, buying up products specifically to prove they didn't work. Quantum energy was meant to be an easy takedown. Instead his own experiments kept backfiring, and the results were hard to argue with. We get into what quantum energy actually ...

In today's episode I am talking about your strategy, and why it is one of the most important pieces of your Human Design for coming into alignment. Your strategy comes from your type, and it is not the endless memes about what your type supposedly says about you. It is a practical tool. When you live in alignment with your strategy and your authority, you decondition, things become more effortless, and you start moving in flow instead of force. I walk through the strategy for each type: initi...

In today's episode I am joined by Yvette Mayer, our HD Transits Expert, and Lauren Hansen, our Resident Astrologer, for the July energy update. July lands in two halves. The first is slower and more internal. We are carrying the shadow of Mercury retrograde and sitting in Gate 62, so expect pressure, a pull towards the fine details, and your body asking you to slow down, with a fast, fiery undercurrent from Mars conjunct Uranus running alongside it. The second half fires back up into th...

In today's Weekly Wrap I'm talking about growing through joy instead of shadow work. There is a place for shadow work, inner child work and inner parenting, and I'm not throwing any of it out. But I've had a hunch for about 18 months that landed properly this week, when someone told me they now choose their growth from joy rather than from the work. I sat with it, because it named something I'd drifted away from. For a few years I was growing through play and through what lit me up, and latel...

In today's Weekly Wrap I'm taking you through what's been alive for me this week, and it starts with a line that stopped me in my tracks: we manifest who we are, not what we do. That one came from Colette Baron-Reid teaching her art of manifesting inside HDx. Whatever we practise feeling, we become. So if I keep telling the stories of the challenge, that's the frequency I'm broadcasting. The work is choosing to practise the feeling of all the good that's already here. From there I get into a ...

In today's episode I am joined by Hope Pedraza, a functional medicine practitioner who blends human design with functional health. Hope works right where your energy and your physical body meet, and she has a real knack for showing how the two map onto each other. We get into burnout, and the reframe at the heart of this conversation: burnout isn't about how much you're doing, it's about the energy behind the doing and who you're being while you do it. We talk about the difference between bur...

In today's Weekly Wrap I give you the one question I want you to keep asking yourself, in your business and in your life: am I bringing reasons or results? Reasons are usually the reasons we haven't done the thing yet. Results are what's actually happening, what we can influence, what we can do better. This is the difference between being at cause and being at effect, the author of your reality or the passenger waiting for life to happen to you. I've got open loops I can't close right now, bu...

In today's episode I am sharing what's been on my mind, in my world, and moving through my life this week. It's been a heavy few weeks. I'm not going to pretend otherwise. I talk about what it's actually like to hit an emotional wave when you're an emotional being, and what cracked open for me when I leaned into the support that was right in front of me. I also get into something I've been sitting with: the difference between needing a man and wanting one. How money, AI, and Human Design ar...

In today's episode I am joined by Lindsey Simcik, co-host of the Almost 30 Podcast. Lindsey's story is one of the most honest accounts of what it actually looks like to trust the zigzag. From aspiring actress to SoulCycle instructor to launching a podcast on a closet floor with a $15 recorder, she and co-host Krista Williams built one of the most beloved female-led podcasts in the world by following their intuition before they even knew that's what they were doing. In this conversation, Linds...

In today's episode I'm doing a weekly wrap, getting real about what's been a genuinely tough couple of weeks, and what I've been learning in the thick of it. This one gets personal. My eldest left for overseas, my youngest got hit with some hard news, our support person left, and my nervous system has been well and truly activated. But mixed in with all of that has been some real beauty too, walks to the lighthouse, tea ceremony, kinesiology with Zoe Bosco, and the most extraordinary women sh...

In today's episode I am joined by astrologer Lauren Hansen and Human Design specialist Yvette Mayer for our monthly energy update, weaving astrology and Human Design to help you navigate what's coming. May brought it for all of us. We open with a real debrief on Uranus into Gemini, the Sagittarius full moon, and why the last two weeks hit so hard for so many people. Then we move into June. We cover the Venus-Jupiter conjunction on June 9th, the most expansive transit of the year and why it la...

In today's episode I'm talking about money, AI, and why so many women still don't feel financially safe, even when they're earning well. I share what's been lighting me up this week: a fascinating conversation with Alex Zeck inside HDx on how we're sold health narratives that don't hold up to scrutiny, why I'm building female-led companies into my AI investing criteria, and what the Scott Galloway episode on Diary of a CEO got so right about the fear-mongering around AI. I also get real about...

In today's episode I am joined by Carol Allen, Vedic astrologer and relationship astrology expert. Carol has spent over 35 years working with clients through the lens of Jyotish, the ancient Indian system of astrology. In this conversation we get into what Vedic astrology actually is, how it differs from Western astrology, and why it's been so deeply woven into Indian culture for thousands of years. We also explore what the chart can reveal about purpose, partnership, and timing and I get my ...

In today's episode I'm trying something new. This is the first Weekly Wrap, a Monday episode where I share what I loved, what I'm learning, what's irritating me off, and what we're focusing on in HDx. It's an experiment, and I'd love your feedback on it. This week I cover my latest EMDR session and why it cracked something open that years of conscious effort hadn't. I share what I'm learning about investing and why I think every woman needs to get across this now. I talk about my three-week d...

In today's episode I'm sharing a few things that have been on my mind this week. From Mother's Day reflections on single motherhood and the family unit I never thought I'd have, to what the Goop podcast sparked in me about AI and why I believe this is one of the greatest opportunities women have right now. To the recent UFO and UAP file releases from the US government also get a mention, because that space genuinely fascinates me. Plus what's been happening inside the HDx Telegram with ...

Nicole has built a global platform by sharing her personal and professional truth at the same time, and her Human Design makes complete sense of that. In this episode I walk through her chart live and we unpack how her design has shaped the way she uses her voice, does her work, and moves through the world. We cover her profile, her Incarnation Cros...

In today's episode I share the story of how a decision made in the back of a van in Sri Lanka sent me and my team down a path I never saw coming. When Anthropic refused to sign the US government's data sharing agreement and OpenAI didn't, I knew we had to move. What started as getting off ChatGPT turned into something that has completely shifted the direction of my business. On the 25th of April, we launched Maggie 2.0 into beta, and the feedback has blown us away. But this episode isn't real...

Dr. Melissa breaks down the science behind German New Medicine and the idea that your symptoms aren't random. Every shock, every unresolved conflict, maps to a specific adaptation in your body.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a powerful shift in how I see business and why it has become one of my greatest teachers. This was sparked by a recent session where I was told that my relationship with my business is unlike anything they’ve seen, and it made me realise just how much this work has shaped who I am. We dive into moving from force to flow, why your business has its own consciousness, and how learning to collaborate with it instead of controlling it, changes everything. This...

We dive into themes of identity, emotional clarity, and the move from hierarchy into...

In today’s episode, I’m calling out a big misconception that’s keeping so many people stuck. Human Design isn’t the problem. You’re giving your power away. I was inspired to record this after seeing a piece titled “Human Design destroyed my life,” and it’s the perfect example of what happens when we treat these tools like rigid rule books instead of what they actually are. We dive into why your design is meant to empower you, not control you, and how stepping back into your own authority is w...

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the hidden shift already happening as we move toward the new paradigm everyone talks about arriving in 2027. While so much focus is on what’s coming, I explore how the old paradigm of the Cross of Planning is evolving right now and why it has been such an important force in shaping our world.

Relearning to surf reminded me to go slow to go fast and stay in my own lane.
