Human Design is my favorite tool to use when I’m feeling stuck or out of alignment. It can help you find grounding by showing you the best way to schedule your day, which environments you thrive in, when and what you should eat while also uncovering your deeper purpose and the person your soul came here to be. I like to think of it as the ultimate handbook designed uniquely for you based on when and where you were born. Since it’s such a layered and complex tool that combines many different modalities, it can feel overwhelming when you first dive in. I recommend trying not to take it all in at once. It really takes time (years) to get to know your blueprint so I’m sharing 3 Human Design experts I trust to help you get started.

I still remember the first time I saw my Human Design chart. I’ve been a lifelong lover of astrology (and still am), but Human Design felt different. It was as if someone handed me a user manual for myself. Imagine sitting down and trying to read your car manual cover to cover (which I did attempt when I was 16 and trying to be a good car owner.) It’s not something that’s meant to be consumed all at once, but rather a tool to carry with you for the rest of your life. It’s a guide to help you along on this human experience which is why it’s my favorite tool for self-reflection. I’ve carried my chart with me for years, and I love to reference it when I feel stuck on something or just need validation. I love Human Design because it shows you that you are meant to be exactly as you are, and the details that make you unique are intentional. It’s helped me let go of so much judgment and shame I held onto and has been so powerful in helping me embrace what makes me unique and special.

It’s taken me years to understand the importance of a morning ritual. I find it important to make the distinction between ritual and routine. When I think of a routine, it feels heavy, another thing I have to check off my list. Whereas when I think of a ritual, it feels fluid, something that can grow with me instead of boxing me in. 

While we can do anything, we can’t do everything. Our time is valuable, which is why a morning ritual is crucial. Understanding what you need to begin your day has the power to completely transform your life. You don’t have to make big changes to feel more fulfilled and connected to your purpose. Remember, you are the leader of your own life. You may not be able to quit your job or move to Bali, but maybe you can wake up 5 minutes earlier or give yourself permission to start your day doing something just for you. Small changes can have a major impact. You can completely shift the energy of your days simply by implementing a daily morning ritual. 

I’ve always known I’m meant to live a creative life. The need for creative expression feels like an innate part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve explored what it truly means to walk the path of a creative person and an artist. I’ve learned that creativity is powerful. It’s had a positive impact on my own wellbeing, facilitated moments of deep healing, and reconnected me to my own intuitive gifts. I believe wholeheartedly that the creative path has the power to transform your life, and I’m excited to share the 5 resources I keep coming back to for inspiration. 

I’m someone who craves consistency but also fears getting stuck in a routine. These opposing forces have been historically at odds with each other, creating chaos in my life. As I’ve slowed down and spent time going deeper, I’ve realized that it’s not routine or consistency that I’m opposed to. I was afraid of predictability. I don’t want my life to be pre-determined or meaningless. 

What I find myself truly craving is more magic. I’m not necessarily talking about the grand gesture movie kind of magic. I’m talking about looking up at the stars wondering how this all came to be kind of magic which is actually available to us whenever we want. 

In fact, magic is often waiting patiently in the mundane, and I’m excited to share 3 simple ways you can experience more magic in your life.

Feeling lost and unsure of what’s next is a universal experience and part of being human. We all go through these seasons throughout our lives, and they can feel painful, isolating, and lonely. I used to dread these seasons of life, but recently I’ve found a sense of gratitude for them. 

Each time I find myself stuck or craving clarity, I learn something new about myself and also how to use this time most effectively. I’ve created a list of ways you might be able to identify if you’re in the unknown and some practices to help you find clarity and get unstuck.

When I received my first tarot reading from a friend in 2017, I remember feeling seen and understood in a way I never had before. I loved how the cards took me on a journey while reflecting back what I’d been experiencing in my life. At the time, it felt like magic. I immediately bought my first deck and dove headfirst into learning everything I could. I was constantly drawing cards and journaling about them. I would even sit at my favorite bar, and do readings for anyone who would let me. 

I’ve never had an affinity for crazy plot twists. I always look a movie up on IMDB before watching, and these days I prefer to rewatch a familiar show over seeing something new. Maybe that’s why I love rom-coms so much. There’s a certain comfort in knowing the story will be tied up in a nice little bow by the end.
