21. Living Life By Design
In this raw, real-time conversation, we check in on what’s alive in our lives, and how Human Design is helping us make sense of it.
Nadia shares the grief of saying goodbye to her beloved bulldog, Otis, and how Gate 10 (self-love gate) and her undefined heart are showing up in deep, emotional ways. We talk about how authority works in real life, especially when navigating big decisions and loss.
Sam shares about The Artist Rendezvous, her new creative project and podcast, and how Gate 8 (contribution) and Gate 59 (intimacy) are playing out through it. We talk creativity, alignment, and how your chart can be a map toward authentic self-expression.
We also explore:
The current transits (hi Gate 20 + Gemini season)
Defined vs. undefined centers (and why the spleen is so tricky to teach)
Emotional intimacy, boundaries, and why it’s okay to go slower in connection
Conscious breakups, friend shifts, and how to honor your authority through it all
Human Design keeps pulling us back to self-trust, intuition, and knowing who we really are. We’re so glad you’re on this ride with us.
