Release Date: 07/07/2023
03: Anchored in the Overwhelm
And Now I'm Here
Presence isn’t always peaceful. Sometimes it's choosing to stay rooted right in the middle of noise, needs, and never-ending to-dos. As moms, it can feel like we’re constantly being pulled in every direction — showing up for everyone else before we even remember ourselves. In this episode, we talk about the subtle ways we drift, what anchors us when life feels full, and gentle practices to return to presence — without needing more time, more space, or a perfect moment. This conversation is your reminder: You’re allowed to exist in your own life, even when it’s full. You can remain...

An “Intuition TRUST FALL?!” What?! Welcome to the first episode of 2024 of The Intuition Playground! This week we learn about leaping out in trusting your own intentions, reflecting over the past year, and gleaning lessons to carry into the new year.

049: I wasn’t the mom I wanted to be… (Part 1)
And Now I'm Here
Welcome to the start of November and welcome to a personal story on The Intuition Playground! Human Design came into my life prior to becoming a parent, but it was the lens through which to start to make new decisions to be intentionally reflective about all the “why”s in my day-to-day life and all nuances that make me me. Please join me as I share about the power I found behind claiming what I wanted to change; may you bask in that same energy for you! Here’s what to expect: 01:00 - Disclaimer and background 07:05 - It might be working, but how does it feel? 11:45 -...

048: What the Best Human Design Experts Won't Tell You
And Now I'm Here
...or really any mentor, coach, or guide. When you think of expanding your wisdom and seeking discernment, who do you automatically consult with first? Maybe a coach or mentor is your first resort - great! But what if I told you that you have to get to the root of what your design is in order to continue to build on your design you’re already living? The Intuition Playground delivers a few ideas on exploring our truths by considering other perspectives. Be sure to stick around for a card pull too! Here’s what to expect: “How to start” living your design...

047: Get Out of the Clouds + Get Your Life Together
And Now I'm Here
Most of us have probably come to different phases or seasons in our lives when we felt or knew *this* isn’t serving me anymore. The physical spaces & clutter. How we see our identity through the eyes of others. Old ways of doing life. And even when we put the work in to see effective change, maybe the energies that linger after we strive for transformation need some attention. This week, The Intuition Playground shares the idea of “trying on” in different aspects of life to see what might fit. Here’s what to expect: 1:00 - dropping down from the...
info_outlineAfter a reflective episode last week (catch episode 33 if you haven’t already!), gears are shifting toward July here at The Intuition Playground. Noticing big shifts and changes in what is no longer resonant, distinguishing drastic (“night & day”) contrasts, considering inner world non resonance (i.e., the way I show up, think, respond, be, etc. is no longer resonant), all which includes the things you do and put energy towards.
