You are not your job or career. You are so much more. In this episode Angela talks about discerning between challenges and redirection, the tools that help understand your dharma and how dharmic living is rejuvenative.

Join Angela Perger and guest Graciela Rasor in this episode as they discuss Human Design more deeply! Graciela has already taken us through the basics of Human Design and the five energy types, and now she's going deeper with a crash course on the nine energy centers. The nine energy centers correlate loosely with the chakra system, and they can tell us so much about ourselves and our loved ones. Get ready to learn about what energies you're projecting strongly into the world and what areas you're most susceptible to conditioning in. Graciela Rasor is a spiritual guide with a sense of humor. An intuitive, energy healer and Human Design reader, she believes that all people -- not just the yogis and the raw vegans-- are entitled to a life that makes their soul happy. Graciela supports her clients in growing their authenticity, spirituality and purpose so they can cut out the conditioning that weighs them down and start living in a way that lights them up.
