The Current

My dad is celebrating 15 years of sobriety. As a special edition Father’s Day episode, Nadia interviews her father, Jim, about his journey from addiction to recovery. Some of the most important work we do on this plane is healing and drawing more awareness and compassion into our family lines. Perhaps my dad’s biggest work in this lifetime is interrupting a generational pattern of drinking. Content warning: if you or someone in your life has or is currently experiencing substance abuse and this topic is activating for you, please trust your body about whether or not to listen. Additionally, this episode contains my dad’s personal experience with substance abuse and does not contain professional mental health or medical advice. Please consult with a trained professional if you or someone you know is experiencing addiction. Finally, my dad has generously offered his time to anyone who listens to this episode and feels called to connect. You can email Nadia at hello@nadialast.com to get in touch with Jim. Thank you for listening to this tender episode and sharing your hearts with us through the ethers. I hope this episode inspires your own familial healing through gently examining patterns of familial dysfunction and secrecy with loving awareness. --- Website: nadialast.com Instagram: @nadialast_ Music: Chihiro by Yoste Photography www.mandeerae.com

Our world is evolving at breakneck speed, with 90% of our time now spent indoors—the majority of that time spent in front of screens. Most of this change has only taken place over the last 100 years. Our bodies—having evolved over millennia—haven't had the opportunity to catch up. Becca Piastrelli's work is helping us look back to the ways things used to be, reconnecting us to our ancestral ways of living. She helps folks come back into communion with the land they inhabit, live seasonally, reclaim culturally-respectful rituals, and "re-village" by connecting more meaningfully with their community. She's the author of the book, "Root & Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect with Land, Lineage, Community, and the Earth." She also hosts her own podcast, Belonging. Human Design-wise, Becca is a 3/5 Sacral Manifesting Generator born under the Cross of the Unexpected.  Becca's website: https://beccapiastrelli.com Becca's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beccapiastrelli/ --- Website: nadialast.com Instagram: @nadialast_ Music: Chihiro by Yoste Photography www.mandeerae.com

We are back with an episode unpacking another foundational aspect of Human Design: inner authorities. Our inner authority is the unique place in each of our bodies that we can access to make better decisions that are in alignment with our unique gifts and life path. Human Design shows us that our human minds have enormous computing power, but it’s only by connecting to the wisdom of our bodies that we can truly know what is best for us. It also teaches us that we truly are our own best authority! We each have an inner compass available to us that we can access moment-by-moment to guide us through life. I’m joined by my dear friend and collaborator Sam Pfotenhauer (@wildriver) to unpack the first three inner authorities: Solar Plexus (emotional), Sacral, and Splenic. --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?

The fastest way to the other side of that big emotion or that recurring thought is in and through.  We can spend a lifetime trying to evade emotions or thoughts that feel uncomfortable. We're conditioned away from pain, hurt, shame, sadness, grief, anger. Learning how to move TOWARD the scary feelings and thoughts (sometimes with a licensed professional such as a trauma-informed psychotherapist!) is the fastest way to liberation. In this episode, Nadia's back for another solo adventure sharing a recent experience moving through a big emotion and how she swam to the other side by diving headfirst into the wave.

Birthdays (referred to as "solar returns" in Astrology), are an annual opportunity to reflect, receive, and reorient yourself along the next threshold of your life path. Birthdays are a time when the energy on the planet most resembles the moment when you were born. Each year the sun comes back to the place it was at the moment of your birth and asks, “how YOU were you this past year?” Many of us wait for others to celebrate our birthdays or dismiss the idea of celebrating a birthday altogether as childish. My invitation? Celebrate yourself. Can you deeply love this incarnation you're in and honor the gifts you have in this lifetime? Sharing all about my birthday portal this past month. I turned 30, exited my Saturn Return, and climbed up onto the 6th line roof (I'm a 4/6 profile in Human Design). This episode kicks off a series of solo episodes I have planned to unpack my experiences with spirituality, self-development, psychedelics, therapy, and more.

In Human Design, there are 6 profile lines. Each person has two profile lines listed as a fraction. For instance, Nadia’s a 4/6 and Sam is a 4/1. In this episode, Nadia and Sam unpack each of the 6 profile lines and how you can live out your purpose with more ease, flow, and alignment by understanding each of the profile line archetypes. There are 12 profiles in total: 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/6, 4/6, 4/1, 5/1, 5/2, 6/2, and 6/3 and each profile tells a unique story of how your life is designed to be lived. --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?

Reflectors are our sacred mirrors, showing us where we’re out of alignment and guiding each of us back into our innate gifts and purpose to lift up our communities and level up collective consciousness. This episode is chock full of creative and tactical day-to-day wisdom for Reflectors as they learn to move through the world. Sam and I interview Tanya Reyes, a 5/2 Reflector with a fully open throat meaning she doesn’t have a single gate or gift connected to her undefined throat center. This means all of the messages Tanya shares here are channeled for the collective, and we’re so grateful she shared her beautiful gifts with us! What we cover: How Covid empowered Tanya to slow down to the pace of her own body and how her energy is naturally designed to work How the Reflector aura is similar to an energetic windmill taking in energy from others wherever they go Reflector empowerment is meant to taste test, reflect, discharge, and move on, rather than over identifying with or getting stuck in any particular energy Unpacking Reflector super powers, including their ability to instantly recognize the psychic health of the whole Tips for how to discharge energy and set up your day for success (including going to bed early and alone and cultivating a healthy morning ritual) How to connect to lunar cycle decision-making (Tanya actually sets 29-day timers in her phone to track and hold herself accountable!) What the not-self theme of disappointment feels like and how to recognize it in your life How the Reflector signature of surprise feels like and how to cultivate more of it in your life “Reflectors are here to sample and be one with totality. Through this process you will have a mystical life that most of us will never know.” - Ra Uru Hu, founder of Human Design Tanya’s partner’s clothing line, Grey Hearts Denim: https://greyheartsdenim.ca Tanya’s website: www.tanyareyeshumandesign.com Follow Tanya on Instagram: @tanyarayes.hd --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?
