After Living with Monks in Nepal: The Mind, Perception & the Power of Awareness

In this reflective episode, Hilary shares what unfolded after spending eleven days in silence with monks in the mountains of Nepal. She explores the art of witnessing the mind, understanding perception as the true creator of reality, and how impermanence reveals the natural flow of life.

You’ll hear her speak about:

• How distraction isn’t just your phone — it’s the stories your mind repeats.
• Why impermanence is the ultimate teacher of peace.
• The freedom that comes when you stop identifying with your thoughts.
• How every experience is filtered through your lens of perception.
• The relationship between consciousness, energy, and perspective.
• Why “problems” are never in the world — they are in how we see it.
• How to live from witnessing awareness rather than the reactive mind.
• Releasing attachment to outcomes and finding stability in uncertainty.
• The beauty of service, life force, and devotion as the path to bliss.

Key Quotes

“Your perspective determines whether you live in suffering or peace.”
“Nothing is real without a witnessing consciousness.”
“You don’t have to wait to be a Michelin star chef to start feeding people — serve now, as you are.”
“The mind is like the sky; thoughts are only clouds.”
“Happiness is not found in control but in awareness.”
“When you change the lens, the whole world becomes light.”

Hillary explores the duality of reality — how we can feel opposing emotions at once — and why growth comes from noticing both, loving both, and then choosing where we place our energy. From “the in-between” season to trusting yourself through uncertainty, she shares reframes, nervous-system practices, and micro-actions that compound into “quantum” change.

This solo episode dives into the paradoxes we live with: excited and scared, happy for others and tender with ourselves. Hillary reframes fear and doubt as invitations rather than stop signs, and unpacks the myth that you must be “ready” before you act. You’ll learn how to normalize duality, ground in safety, shift from trusting to knowing, and make “quantum leaps” via tiny, repeated steps. She also shares personal stories—from leaving law to turning down misaligned opportunities—and a practical Power Practice to move from fear to freedom in the micro-moments of everyday life.

Key themes & takeaways

• Duality is normal: Two opposite experiences can coexist; awareness + choice is the work.
• Choose your amplifier: Notice both sides, love both, then decide what gets your energy.
• The In-Between: You’ve changed internally but the outer results lag—stay in the grey without self-shaming.
• Fear ≠ stop sign: Bravery exists because fear exists. Be fear-aware, not fear-less.
• Safety first: Create internal safety (body, breath, plan-B thinking) to take external risks.
• Trust → Knowing: Act on aligned nudges until trust matures into calm, embodied knowing.
• Reframe obstacles: Rejection can be redirection; challenges expand your capacity to receive.
• Money/abundance stories: Notice where you desire with one hand and push away with the other.
• Quantum = microscopic: Small, consistent actions compound into timeline shifts.
• Regulate > control: Nervous-system regulation beats white-knuckling your way forward.

Reflection prompts (journal or discussion)

• Where am I desiring something and simultaneously pushing it away?
• Which emotion needs love today—and which one do I want to amplify?
• What story am I trying to fix at the same level it was created?
• If I were simply fear-aware (not fear-less), what’s my next brave step?
• What recent “rejection” might have been divine redirection?

In today’s soulful and expansive conversation, I have the honour of being interviewed by the incredible Chasca Summerville, Ayurvedic practitioner, ritualist, and author of Ayurvedic Rituals, as we explore the art of remembering your divine nature and living in alignment with your unique design.

In this conversation, we explore:

• My story: why I left my corporate career for a bridge job, and then how I started my business in Human Design
• How Human Design has shifted how I see myself and the world
• Daily practices that root and inspire me
• What “prana” or life force means to me and how I tune into it
• Discerning intuition from limiting beliefs
• Embracing your dharma as a living, evolving journey
• Obstacles I’ve faced and how I navigate through them
• The role of vulnerability, trust and self-compassion

More than anything, this episode is an invitation to remember that you are already whole. Your design, your energy, your story, none of it needs fixing. It’s all an unfolding, a remembering, a returning home to who you truly are.

Enjoy! Xx

Today in this solo episode, Hillary explores how real turning points happen, not in anger, resentment, or frustration but in moments of love, compassion, and CHOICE. Choosing to be decisive as an act of true self love and healing.

She shares:

// Why lasting transformation is born from love and forgiveness, not fear.
// The power of discernment—knowing what you are and are not available for.
// How to connect with your life force energy as an infinite, abundant source of possibility.
// The role of boundaries, self-trust, and devotion in creating a new reality.
// Practical ways to shift patterns, reframe disempowering stories, and move into alignment with your true self.

This episode is a reminder that transformation happens the moment you choose love over fear. And you can't fake that - ENJOY! xx

Welcome to the Profile Series, a deep dive into the 6 Human Design profile lines that reveal the archetypes your soul chose to embody. Your profile reflects the role you play in the world, the unique gifts you bring and the energy you naturally radiate when you’re aligned with your highest self.

In this episode, we explore the Six Line Profile also known as The Role Model, The Wise Old Soul, The Visionary Leader.

This is for those who are a 6/2, 6/3, 3/6 or 4/6 and those in relationship with them!

You will have two episodes for your Profile. A Profile (i.e. 6/2 or 3/6) has two profile lines. The first number is your conscious awareness (what you see in yourself); the second is your subconscious body knowing (what others see more in you). So if you are a 6/2 – listen to both the Six Line & Two Line episodes.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

The Power of Profiles

• How your three life phases (before 30, 30–50, 50+) shape your path and wisdom.

The Six Line Essence

• Deep thinker and dreamer with high standards and a vision for “heaven on earth.”
• Natural role model when living authentically. Others learn simply by observing you.
• Holds optimism and faith in humanity’s potential for transformation.

Higher vs. Lower Expression

• Higher Self: embodied leader, wise role model, truth-liver, inspiring others through example.
• Lower Self: perfectionism, self-criticism, procrastination, fear of not being enough.

Practical Insights

• Trust your process. Every stage of life has meaning.
• Release perfectionism and share your wisdom, even if it feels “imperfect.”
• Integrity is key: follow your own truth rather than societal expectations.

Relationships & Work

• Six Lines thrive with loyalty, honesty and integrity in relationships.
• Others may not match your high standards. Discern where to invest your energy.
• You’re here to embody wisdom, not to “fix” or over-give to others.

Key Quotes & Takeaways

“Perfectionism doesn’t equal excellence. Your presence is enough.”
“You are here to create your version of heaven on earth.”
