The Human Design Podcast

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...

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'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.

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.

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.

We dive into why your design is meant to empower you, not control you, and how stepping back into your own authority is w...
