The Current

Human Design Projectors are our seers, guides, and leaders. Projectors are here to see into people, projects, and situations deeply. Their awareness is both penetrating and illuminating. Projectors aren't here to measure themselves by how much they do, but by how well they see. In this episode, we dive deep into Projector energy through the lens of two Projector perspectives: host Nadia Last's as well as our guest's, Amber Larsen. Alongside Sam Pfotenhauer we unpack: What a Projector is and their unique penetrating aura What Projector bitterness feels like and how to recognize it in your body What Projector success feels like and how to attract more of it What "waiting for the invitation" means and how to feel empowered in your strategy The unique energetics of resting and how to reclaim more of your energy as a Projector There is so much juicy goodness in this episode and we hope it empowers you if you're a Projector or helps you love on the Projectors in your life more as a Projector ally. :) Learn more about Amber and her work at: http://amberlarsen.co/ --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?

Generators are here to be our life-giving doers, creators, and builders. If you are a Generator, you were imbued with the life force energy to commit to and master a process and skill, and bring an idea to life. Your superpower is that when you’re doing what you love, you get more energy as you work, naturally regenerating your gas tank as you go. In this episode, Sam and I interview Emily the Medium to share her in real life examples of how being a Generator feels in her body and how she uses her energy to navigate the world with more ease. We discuss: • What is a Generator? • How special the Generator archetype really is • What a sacral "yes" and "no" feels like • Characteristics of an empowered Generator • What satisfaction feels like • What frustration feels like • Generator lifestyle including sleep strategy Learn more about Emily and her work at: www.emilythemedium.com --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?

Human Design Manifestors make up only 9% of the population. Their energy is designed to get things started and they're driven by a need to create, build, do, and achieve. Manifestors hold a vision for how things can and should be. Manifestors are here to create, initiate, and do whatever it is that they envision themselves doing. Their rare and powerful energy holds both the key and the ignition, meaning they can dream up anything they want and that they also have the initiating energy to make it happen, catalyzing others to see their vision and move toward it as well. Today’s episode is a deep dive into the unique Manifestor aura featuring a Manifestor describing what it feels like to live with this energy in real life. Our dear friend Katie shares personal examples of what it feels like to be a Manifestor. For our fellow HD nerds, Katie is a 3/5 Emotional Manifestor born under the Cross of Tension. We cover a lot of ground including: What is a Manifestor urge or vision and how do I work with it? What does Manifestor impact or influence look like? Why it’s so important for Manifestors to rest and recharge to receive the next lightning bolt of inspiration What Manifestor anger feels like and practical ways to process and move it through your body Why do Manifestors have to inform others? Tactical ways to incorporate informing into your daily life to create more ease and peace Katie’s journey reclaiming her voice through losing her sister, initiating a separation with her husband, and then reuniting with him with a deeper sense of self Katie’s experience attending a psychedelic healing reatreat and how this helped her connect with her sister through presencing grief Want to study Human Design through a live and dynamic course?

There are five energy types in Human Design: Projectors, Manifesting Generators, Generators, Manifestors, and Reflectors. Each energy type has its own energetic signature and a specific way they're designed to engage with the world around them.  To honor the culmination of the third quarter of the year in Human Design, all about relationships and bonding, Sam Pfotenhauer and host Nadia Last unpack all the ways in which Human Design shows up in relationship.  How can you support each of the five energy types in relationships?  How do the different Profile types relate to one another?  Are there some types that are more compatible than others (spoiler: this is a myth that we bust!)  Sam is in an MG-MG partnership and Nadia is in a Projector-Projector relationship and they unpack all of the ways Human Design has helped them show up in their relationships and cultivate greater compassion and understanding of their partners.  --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?

Life and death, they are inextricably tied. In fact, there is no life until we make space for something to die away. Metaphorically and physically. I’m back on The Current today sharing more about what I’ve been reflecting on since getting engaged this past summer. Some themes from today's solo episode: The telltale signs of “purpose anxiety" Honoring death as a natural part of the rebirth cycle Choosing to view our upcoming wedding as an initiatory rite of passage Generally working through the gunk of family karma In this season of life I'm asking myself, "What needs to die away in order to make space for new life?" --- Website: nadialast.com Instagram: @nadialast_ Music: Chihiro by Yoste Photography www.mandeerae.com

Clare Johnson returns to the show and Nick Baker comes on for the first time to dive deep into psychedelic-assisted therapy and the healing properties of plant medicine in group. We cover a lot of ground in this conversation, including: Nick’s path into psychedelic journey work from ER nursing Clare’s path into this work as a licensed psychotherapist What makes a guided journey different than a recreational psychedelic experience The unique magic of group settings versus individually guided journeys The healing power of group integration between and after journeys How to work with the insights that come up during a trip How psychedelics can interrupt the Default Mode Network (or well-worn grooves of thought and behavioral patterns) to expand your identity and consciousness as well as revisit earlier unprocessed experiences with greater insight Demystifying ketamine: why it’s in a psychedelic healing class of its own and how it feels in your body Nick, Clare, and Nadia’s personal experiences with ketamine All about psilocybin, unpacking the dreaded “bad trip,” and how to work in and through any resistance that comes up in a journey How to know whether you’re being called into psychedelic healing work Mentioned on this episode: MycoMeditations in Jamaica Both Clare and Nick offer psychedelic integration in their practices as well as consultation on working with psychedelics in safe and legal settings in the US and abroad.

Shame is the most insidious and destructive emotion, and yet it’s something that we all experience, usually in isolation.  Today I'm joined by my good friend and business collaborator, Sam Pfotenhauer (@wildriver), to discuss ways we've each learned to move shame through the body, particularly by sharing our voice. We share personal stories of ways we used to keep ourselves small and how we learned to overcome fear, shame, and stuck-ness to share more of ourselves, even when it feels like a new and intimidating edge.  Near the end of this episode I am exhilarated to report that I modeled sharing my own edge by singing publicly! To date, singing has been a private, daily meditation but I've been feeling called to share my voice with others for healing. This first debut is shaky and nervous, but guess what? We all need to start somewhere. Sending you love during whatever new beginning you find yourself embarking upon. May you be filled with the courage to share your whole self with others for greater clarity, connectedness, and healing.  --- About Sam: Sam Pfotenhauer is a healer, coach, human design reader and psychic channel, as well as the host of the Wild River podcast.  She is one of Nadia’s closest friends and they co-teach Human Design Training together.  You can find her on Instagram at @wildriver and learn more about her offerings at wildriver.live. --- Website: nadialast.com Instagram: @nadialast_ Music: Chihiro by Yoste Photography: www.mandeerae.com

We each have a synchronistic life path or current that carries us into specific life experiences, relationships, and lessons. It's a journey to recognize and trust the current when it takes you places that directly oppose what you expected a particular season of life to look/feel like. When you do hit your stride, it can become all too easy to start paddling even faster, frantically trying to get somewhere by a certain fabricated timeline. It's an art form to instead learn how to listen to and trust the pace of your unique life's current. To jump into the river and truly enjoy the ride. In this episode, Nadia unpacks her "summer of surrender" and how she's been learning to laugh when the universe continues to knock her down. She also unpacks our unique energetic aura that extends beyond each of our bodies and how we can engage in daily "energetic hygiene" to reconnect to the frequency of love. --- Want to join the very last cohort of Human Design Training?

We're back on the podcast to unpack the final 5 Human Design authorities: ego-projected (Projectors), ego-manifested (Manifestors), self-projected (Projectors), sounding board (Projectors), and lunar authority (Reflectors). Having any one of these rare authorities means that you have a lot of openness in your chart, meaning you take in a lot of energy from the world around you. We focus on practices to decondition your open centers and come back to your body to hear the subtle cues of your unique form of decision making and create a life that feels aligned to your soul's path. --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?
