Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday!
On the podcast this week is Katie Calder, a Human Design Reader & Intuitive Guide, Mentor, Wellness Content Creator, my friend, and above all else, Human. Katie’s goal is to help empower others to live their best, brightest and most embodied life.
You might remember Katie from our soul chat last year (you can check out that episode here!). She’s been on this spiritual and embodiment journey with me, and I was beyond excited to sit down and have another fun, intuitive, and incredible conversation with Katie for Seek The Joy.
In this week’s episode Katie shares what it means to be embodied, moving from a space of disconnection to connection, her advice for anyone that wants to feel more embodied, and choosing to go within for answers, healing and guidance. We chat about living in a world that says you need to "find your purpose," why Katie no longer compares herself to others, and the role of expanders in her life. We chat about the impact of Human Design, empowerment and its connection to Human Design, the different centers in your chart, your conscious sun, and trusting your inherent knowing. Plus, we chat about slowing down and evaluating our boundaries, moving away from the narratives that bring you shame, Katie's biggest dream, and so much more!
I always love connecting with Katie and I’m so happy that we had this conversation for the podcast. I can’t wait to hear what you think! Make sure to join the conversation on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!
“Embodiment means not looking towards what anyone else is doing, silencing the noise, and fully trusting yourself in all areas of your life. Stepping into your fullness - your fullest expression - your light, guided by you and you first. Everything else follows from there.”
“When you begin living your life for you, and in a way that’s unapologetically you, whether you know where you’re going or not, that’s how embodiment begins.”
Human Design is a system, that provides you with a unique map that reveals your genetic design, with information about unconscious and conscious aspects of yourself. Human Design shows you who you authentically came to this world to be + what you came to experience. It's a powerful tool empowers you to step into your authentic truth. HD combines The I Ching, astrology, Jewish Kabbalah, Hindu-Brahmin Chakra system & quantum physics.
Human Design is a blueprint that explains where you draw your energies, what your purpose is, and helps you understand your unique way of navigating the world.
Human Design is something I first came across in 2018 - and it’s fascinating. There are four different types, and each has their own strategy. In human design, your strategy is the pathway to living as your truest self, and understanding who you are, and letting of who (and what) you aren’t. Human Design allows you to work with your natural energy to become the fullest expression of you. I’m a projector (and 20% of the population are projectors!)
You can learn more about your energy type is and explore your Human Design Chart on these helpful websites:
While Katie and I didn’t spend time in this episode discussing the fundamentals of human design such as the energy types, individual strategies, and all of the different centers in our chart (and what it means to be open vs. defined, etc.), Katie has been on some incredible podcasts that dive into these topics, and I highly recommend her conversation on the Master Your Mind Business & Life Podcast!
Instead, Katie and I really chat about the powerful impact of Human Design. Katie shares how diving deep into Human Design has allowed her to deeply trust herself and her transformations. It’s allowed her to become more embodied, and empower herself through every situation. More than ever, she knows just how supported and held she is, and that’s made all the difference.
“Human Design shows you the blueprint of your soul in its perfection with no conditioning. It shows you the areas that you’re probably conditioned away from [your truth], and how to get back to that. When you work with the energy, and align with the energy, you learn how to truly let go of all the programming that says you need to be or live a certain way.”
As Katie shares in this week’s new episode, once you know and understand where you draw your energy from, you can strategize the best way to use your unique energy and gifts to live your most empowered and embodied life. We are all worthy of living the life we want and love, and Human Design is an incredible tool to make that happen.
Katie’s Human Design sessions are uniquely tailored to you. You’ll discuss a variety of aspects of your Human Design, granting you permission to live your most empowered life, whether you’re a total beginner or Human Design expert. Topics that may be discussed include, but are not limited to, your energy type, strategy, authority, profile, centers, channels, gates, arrows, and more.
