Helping a Human Design Projector Experience Career Success

Have you ever wondered what’s possible when you receive coaching based on your human design chart? Lean in because I’m about to share my client journey with Dareen, a 4/6 splenic human design projector. When Dareen and I decided to work together earlier this year, she was in a job that was dragging her down. One of her major goals was to leave her current company and land a new role that was more aligned with her values. Here’s how our journey went: 💟 DAREEN IS A HUMAN DESIGN PROJECTOR From the start, it became clear that Dareen was not feeling seen or recognized in her current position. With a...

Unlock the Flow of Abundance With Human Design Strategy and Authority

Human Design, Travel

Last week, Ryan and I decided to go for an afternoon stroll around San Miguel de Allende. As we rounded a bend near the center, we came face to face with a fountain. I stopped in my tracks when I noticed this fountain because while the basin was overflowing with water, the stream was slightly missing its mark. Standing there, observing this happen, I realized how reflective it is of life. What if Life is consistently funneling blessings and opportunities towards us? But… if we’re not positioned to receive them, they simply miss their mark? If only we moved our hands a little to the right, we could catch the...

A Gift in the Dark: Lessons on Self-Love & Personal Power

Relationships, Human Design

“What if you’re powerful, even when you’re not creating or expressing? What if your power is never ‘off’—there are simply times when it isn’t visible to the world?”* As I let these questions sink in, my entire body exhaled—a breath I didn’t know I was holding.These are the kind of questions that make your shoulders drop and your thoughts stop. The kind that shake up your world to the point where it will never be the same again. In the span of seconds, I was anchored in and buoyed by a new truth. The puzzle pieces of self-understanding rearranged and clicked into place. And I felt free. Throughout my journey...

Having it All: The Unconventional Truth

Travel

What does it mean to “have it all?” In my world, I believe having it all has less to do with accomplishing more and everything to do with how fully we’re showing up as our true selves. Having it all is not a juggling act. It’s not committing to everything and everyone under the sun and then trying to figure out the most efficient and productive way to balance it all out. [Most of the time, having it all is about taking things OFF your plate]. In my world, in order to show up as our true selves, we must get crystal clear on what we value and what’s most...

The Call Back Home: A Return to What We’ve Lost

Travel

Feet sinking into sand. Sticky air. Heat kissing my face and arms. The sound of waves galloping to shore. Foamy fingers; bubbles popping.The call back home. Birds whistling. Palms rustling. Driftwood everywhere. The sharp scent of smoke. Salt and ash on my tongue. And the foul bowels of low tide. I am here, in my body, tasting every sense, one at a time. My phone is untouched in my backpack. There is no podcast playing. There is no book in my hands. It is just me and the ocean, her heartbeat thumping rhythmically with mine. As a collective, we are losing the experience of presence. The devices in our hands...

Whispers on the Wind

Uncategorized

As I usher in my 33rd year of life, I am facing a new set of blank pages. Ryan’s manuscript is complete. We sent it off in the middle of the night, with tiredness clinging to our eyelids and exhaustion blurring the pages. We let it go to the darkness; to the ethers of the internet. Its fate now rests with our editor, and the same faith that trusts springtime buds will bloom and snow will blanket the earth in winter. I feel like a weight has been lifted, but I also feel an emptiness. This project has colored my time for the better part of a year. It has...

What a Bad Surfer Taught Me About Hitting Home Runs

Travel, Business

I learned something new this week: Ryan is pretty bad at surfing. Most days around 5pm, we close our computers and head down to the beach. While Ryan typically surfs in the gray dawn of morning, on Tuesday, he decided to bring his board. Knowing how fond he is of the sport, I was excited to witness him catch a wave. I mean, he’s surfed in Portugal, Australia, and Peru; he had a business training professional athletes; and he was a YES to Sayulita for surfing! He must be good, right?! After picking out an empty spot on the sand, I unfolded my chair, sat down, and scanned the horizon for...

Living A Nomadic Lifestyle: 6 Challenging Reasons It Might Not Be for You

Travel

Living a nomadic lifestyle is not a constant state of wonder all the time. You may see the magical moments on social media, and while the highs and happy feelings are VERY real, there’s also the spaces in between where things aren’t as pretty as the pictures. Last week, I went LIVE on Facebook to share some of the low points Ryan and I have experienced while living a nomadic lifestyle in Mexico. If you’re personally considering a nomadic lifestyle, these are challenges to consider. *Before I share, it’s important for me to acknowledge my privilege. My intention is to share my personal experience, however, in no way can these...

Love in the Time of Corona: A COVID Love Story

Relationships, Manifestation, Travel

What happens when two virtual strangers move down to Mexico together during a worldwide pandemic? This is mine and Ryan’s COVID love story. ♡ “I’m sorry, but I don’t choose you as my person.” Ryan’s face fell from across the table. It was Saturday night—the night before we were separating while his family came to visit. After dating for a few weeks, Ryan was curious to know where my feelings were. From the start, he had been like a laser. He knew what he wanted. He knew I was who he wanted. I’ll never forget when he asked me out on our first date. He said, “you are everything I...

When You’re Not Getting What You Want…

Manifestation, Business, Travel

I thought relocating to Tulum would create exponential growth in my business. Turns out, I was wrong. The truth is: I’ve received “no” after “no” from potential clients since being here, and it’s been disheartening to say the least. It’s frustrating when you’re putting in the work and still not getting what you want. Last Thursday, I had the chance to be coached by one of my mentors and I brought this challenge to her. What I discovered was quite intriguing… When we explored what has been behind the “no’s” from potential clients, I realized that many of the people I’ve been in conversation with are not crystal clear on...
