Summer brings a natural surge of energy & activity, but what if we could experience this vibrant season without ending up exhausted and depleted? That's exactly what we're diving into today in today's solo pod.

Claiming this as "the best summer of my life" (and inviting you to do the same), I'm sharing how understanding your Human Design energy type creates a foundation for sustainable summer energy. Whether you're a Generator needing to follow what genuinely lights you up, a Manifestor honoring your sprint-and-rest cycles, a Manifesting Generator learning to say no despite FOMO, a Projector requiring intentional breaks, or a Reflector following surprise and delight – your energy type offers a roadmap to summer alignment.

For women, I explain how our menstrual cycles create another layer of energetic awareness. By aligning summer activities, you can honor your body's natural rhythms instead of pushing through. This isn't just theory – I share personal examples of how this understanding has transformed my approach to social plans and self-care.

The cultural narrative tells us that pushing harder equals greater happiness, but my experience shows the opposite is true. The less I do, the more mindfully I check in with my body, the greater flow I experience.

As a practical tool, I teach the cooling Sitali breath to help regulate your nervous system when summer intensity feels overwhelming. This simple technique brings you back to embodiment – the true superpower behind sustainable energy.

What if, instead of reaching September feeling drained, you finish summer feeling deeply nourished? Join me in this conversation about creating a summer guided by alignment rather than obligation. Be sure to follow me on Instagram for more nervous system regulation practices as we journey through this season together!

Have you ever wondered if there's a simpler way to access states of clarity, creativity & presence without years of meditation practice or psychedelics? Leo Mars, 3/5 Sacral Generator and founder of America's first breath studio, reveals how conscious breathing might be the tool you've been searching for all along.

"Breath is the most potent tool we have to live a better life in this modern age," Mars explains, describing it as a Swiss army knife that adapts to whatever you need in the moment. Whether you're seeking emotional release, creative inspiration, or simply a moment of peace, breathwork meets you exactly where you are. Unlike meditation, which often feels inaccessible to those with busy minds, breathwork provides an active approach to mindfulness that can quickly shift your state.

Mars draws an important distinction between "breath awareness" (bringing attention to your natural breath) and "breathwork" (active breathing techniques), explaining how they work together as complementary practices. The former serves as your moment-to-moment anchor, while the latter acts as a more intensive clearing and opening process. Together, they create a powerful system for navigating life with greater presence and purpose.

Ready to experience the transformative power of breath for yourself? Check out Leo's breathwork app "Ethr" (ethrone.com) or follow his journey as he writes his upcoming book through his weekly emails at leomars.com. Your next breath could be the beginning of a whole new relationship with yourself and the world around you.

Join Emmanuel Zevallos, a Body Code and Emotion Code practitioner, 4/6 emotional generator, who opens up a fascinating world where energy healing meets logical analysis.

The most eye-opening revelation from this conversation for me might be that approximately 80% of our physical issues stem from emotional energies trapped within our bodies. Emmanuel explains how these emotions are produced by our organs and glands (like anger from the liver), and when they don't complete their natural processing cycle, they become trapped - sometimes for decades. Through applied kinesiology (muscle testing), these energies can be identified, dated, and released, often resolving long-standing problems that conventional medicine couldn't address.

Emmanuel approaches healing with a refreshingly simple philosophy: treating each person as family, with the tenderness and care you'd offer a sibling. This perspective transforms the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where true healing can occur without judgment.

Beyond individual healing, Emmanuel shares his passion for group work and creating healing communities. He offers listeners free resources, including Sunday healing sessions for families, highlighting his belief that healing extends beyond individuals to create more harmonious relationships and communities. His work combines energy healing with voice analysis technology with his wife, Jess, that identifies emotional patterns through voice frequencies, offering personalized solutions for emotional balance.

If you're feeling stuck in physical pain, emotional patterns, or life challenges, this episode offers a different path - one that honors your body's wisdom and taps into healing potentials you might never have considered. Take the first step by exploring what Emmanuel calls the core of all healing: truly discovering who you are beneath the programming, conditioning, and inherited emotions that may not even be yours.

What if your chronic pain isn't just a physical problem? What if healing requires more than just treating symptoms? In this captivating conversation, Dr. Jordan Barber—acupuncturist, chronic pain specialist, and self-described "heretic"—challenges conventional thinking about health and healing.

Beginning with his personal transformation from IT professional to acupuncturist after experiencing severe health issues in his twenties, Dr. Barber takes us on a journey through the four pillars of Chinese medicine: diet/lifestyle, herbs, physical treatments (including acupuncture), and movement practices. He explains how these elements work together to address not just symptoms but the interconnected nature of our physical, emotional, and energetic bodies.

The discussion delves deep into pelvic floor dysfunction—a condition affecting 60% of women and 16-20% of men—revealing how seemingly unrelated issues like ankle alignment, diaphragm function, and emotional trauma can manifest as pain throughout the body. "The issue is in the tissues," Dr. Barber explains, describing how our bodies physically store emotions and memories, sometimes releasing them years later during treatment.

Perhaps most compelling is Dr. Barber's perspective on the practitioner-patient relationship. He distinguishes between "listening to respond" and "listening to understand"—a subtle but transformative difference that changes healthcare outcomes. His book "Realigning Medicine" emerged from this philosophy, guiding practitioners to authentic connection rather than formulaic approaches.

For anyone struggling with chronic pain, feeling unseen by healthcare providers, or seeking a more holistic understanding of their body, this episode offers profound insights and practical wisdom. Dr. Barber's parting message—"Demand more"—serves as both permission and encouragement to advocate for comprehensive care that honors the complex interconnectedness of our human experience.

Have you been settling for partial solutions to persistent health issues? What might be possible if you approached healing from a more integrated perspective?

What if the key to growing your business wasn't working harder, but surrounding yourself with the right people? Caitlin Durning, founder of Meraki Media, 4/6 Sacral Generator, shares her remarkable journey from college entrepreneur to the marketing powerhouse behind luxury brands like Rolls Royce and Bentley.

For business owners drowning in content creation, Caitlin offers a refreshingly practical approach: "Planning out your posts is in your best interest. The last thing you want is to get on Instagram after being on calls all day and create something from nothing." Her solution? Focus on just four monthly topics and build a strategic weekly content structure around them. This method allows entrepreneurs to maintain consistency without the exhaustion of daily content creation from scratch.

We dive deep into the resistance many entrepreneurs feel toward outsourcing. As both generators/MG's in human design with defined sacral centers (our energy powerhouses), Caitlin & I discuss how our natural drive can become our downfall when we believe we should do everything ourselves. "Even as a generator, I need a lot of downtime," Caitlin admits, revealing she works only 4-5 hours daily because that's what keeps her creative energy flowing.

The most powerful insight? Building a team isn't just about saving time—it's about restoring joy to your business. When you're freed from tasks that drain you, you reconnect with what truly lights you up. This authenticity creates magnetism that naturally attracts more clients and opportunities.

Whether you're struggling with content creation, considering hiring help, or simply feeling the entrepreneurial burnout that comes from doing it all, this conversation will inspire you to examine where you might be holding on too tightly—and what might be possible if you opened your hands to receive support.

When was the last time you had an honest conversation about sex? Not just the logistics, but the deep stuff—pleasure, desire, and the myths we've all internalized? Dr. Emma Smith, certified sex and trauma therapist, joins us for a refreshingly candid discussion that might just transform how you think about physical intimacy.

The conversation begins with Dr. Smith's fascinating journey from trauma therapy to sex therapy. While helping sexual assault survivors reclaim their lives, she noticed something crucial was missing from their recovery: "They're showing up at work, in school, in friendships...but the bedroom is remaining elusive." This revelation led her to specialize in helping people reconnect with embodied pleasure after trauma.

We dive into pervasive sex myths that limit our experiences. Perhaps the most liberating insight? "Good sex is sex that you enjoy having. It is completely subjective." This simple truth challenges the performance-based metrics many of us unconsciously apply to intimacy. Dr. Smith debunks the myth that most women can achieve orgasm through penetration alone (80-85% cannot) and explores how responsive desire works—that slow-building arousal that takes an average of 20 minutes for women to develop fully.

Dr. Smith also addresses how religious upbringing and purity culture create lasting impacts on sexual experiences. Both of us share our Catholic backgrounds and the journey to unlearn limiting beliefs about pleasure. As she poignantly notes, many people don't even realize "sex was for my pleasure" until well into adulthood.

Whether you're struggling with performance anxiety, feeling disconnected from your desires, or simply curious about expanding your understanding of pleasure, this conversation offers compassionate insights and practical wisdom. Dr. Smith reminds us that true sexual fulfillment requires safety, trust, and the courage to explore what genuinely feels good—not what we think sex "should" look like.

Ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about good sex? Listen now, and discover how breaking free from sexual myths might just lead to the most authentic pleasure you've ever experienced.

What if your persistent back pain isn't actually about your spine at all? What if those chronic headaches are your body's way of telling you something completely unexpected? Welcome to the fascinating intersection of physical structure and emotional wellbeing with holistic chiropractor, Dr. Devorah Feinbloom of Marblehead Natural Healing.

After 41 years in practice, Devorah has pioneered approaches that go far beyond traditional "bone cracking" adjustments. She reveals how our bodies communicate through a complex language of sensation, tension, and energy patterns that most conventional practitioners miss entirely. Through her work with Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), she demonstrates how physical pain often has emotional roots that can be identified through muscle testing - a method that bypasses our conscious mind to access the body's deeper wisdom.

The conversation takes unexpected turns as Devorah explains how our pelvis serves as both our physical and metaphorical center, responding to major life transitions that shift our identity. She describes how the tailbone itself functions like a rudder, potentially tucking under when we feel victimized or powerless. Even more surprising, we learn how surgical scars can disrupt energy flow throughout the body, creating symptoms seemingly unrelated to the original procedure - from anxiety and depression to thyroid dysfunction.

Whether you're struggling with chronic pain that hasn't responded to conventional treatments or simply curious about the mind-body connection, this episode offers fresh perspectives on healing. Devorah's parting wisdom resonates deeply: "Never give up hope about healing. Just keep praying about it, asking - there is help in some way for you." Connect with Devorah at marbleheadnaturalhealing.com to explore how her unique approach might unlock healing potential you never knew existed.

Grief isn't just about death—it's about lost dreams, identities & versions of ourselves we thought we'd become. In this raw and profound conversation, Hope Rose ( 5/1 Manifesting Generator) shares her harrowing journey through domestic violence, family court battles, and having her son "trafficked" through a broken legal system.

Hope Rose opens up about how grief manifests physically—losing her appetite, hair falling out & struggling with digestion—revealing the often-overlooked connection between our emotional processing and physical health. "In order to process grief properly," she explains, "we need to be able to physically digest our experiences, not just emotionally."

The conversation moves beyond personal trauma to examine how the coaching industry sometimes creates harmful expectations around healing. We explore the danger of formulaic approaches that promise transformation without acknowledging individual journeys and timelines. Hope beautifully articulates the concept of "stages of alchemy"—those small moments of light that happen long before dramatic breakthroughs—and why it's essential to honor these incremental shifts rather than fixating on end results.

Most powerfully, Hope challenges the notion that we must immediately transform our pain into something productive or profitable. Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is simply be present with ourselves exactly where we are, allowing our grief the space it needs without rushing to reframe it or find a silver lining.

Whether you're processing trauma, navigating loss, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a refreshingly honest look at what healing actually entails—not the Instagram highlight reel, but the messy, nonlinear journey of uncovering the masterpiece that already exists within you.
