Healing The Spirit: Astrology, Archetypes & Artmaking

How does living our design facilitate effortless energetic shifts? What roles do guilt and forgiveness play in expanding our awareness? How might Human Design assist us with embracing our divine humanity? In this conversation with Joanne Chen, we explored the profound relationships between law of attraction and the Human Design experiment. We also discussed Joanne's experience cultivating her work and communicating her perspectives as a splenic projector, how her training as a classical pianist became the fertile soil that nourished her practice as an energetic coach, and how words are imperfect translations of our vibrational experiences. Joanne holds a special place in my heart. She and I have been friends for over a decade since we met as freshmen at Manhattan School of Music, and we've walked alongside one another since then. Her epic transformative journeys inspire me deeply and her perspectives continue to surprise, challenge, and expand me. It's a joy and honor to share this conversation with all of you.Here's Joanne's bio: Joanne is a seasoned mentor who has been using her expertise in music to develop a unique approach to healing and manifestation. Over the past ten years, she has perfected her method based on energetic principles and the ancient philosophy of Tao, allowing her clients to experience both healing & attracting their dream life simultaneously.Joanne has a vast knowledge base that spans various topics, including human relational dynamics, energetics, bodywork, and incarnation. She is a Splenic Projector with RAX Service 3 and a professional pianist who enjoys exploring her creative side by developing graphics and websites.In her free time, Joanne indulges in delicious high-vibration vegan food and hangs out with her furry companion, Tofu.Links:Joanne's websiteJoanne's InstagramWork with Joanne If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.

What is intuition? How might we account for the myriad ways our intuitive faculties speak to us? How and why do we develop a trustworthy relationship to intuitive experience?Join me for a deep and lively conversation exploring the topic of intuition with my guest Emily Sadowski, PhD, the author of What is Intuition?  While intuition is a familiar and frequently-used concept within the spiritual communities, a majority of the conversations I've seen have revolved around the 'how.' To me, Emily's work is unique because she also explores the 'what' and the 'why' of intuition with rigor, nuance, and a warm, open curiosity.We also explored topics like how she became interested in learning more about intuition, how getting curious about our intuition can lead us deeper into inquiries about consciousness, and how to integrate intuition into our daily personal & communal existence.Here's Emily's bio: Emily Sadowski, PhD writes, teaches, and coaches smart, sensitive leaders in cultivating their self-awareness and self-compassion so they can connect with their inner genius and trust their inner knowing.Join Emily's upcoming course TRUST, an Intuition Development Immersion, starting March 23, 2024.Emily also offers 1:1 coaching and monthly integration circles.
