Dead Hearts Club
Today with this sweet, short episode, we're giving you just a Dose of DHC: sharing real-time examples from our own lives of how we're doing life the DHC way, in the moment. We're also inviting you to share your own stories of DHC living with us, because ultimately, Dead Hearts Club is about the ways our vulnerability creates connection, when it would be easier to just not do the hard thing, share the tender truth, and be seen in all that raw, unguarded glory.

In this episode, we’re upending some of the more commonly-accepted definitions of soulmates — especially in the context of a rom-com culture that tells us how soul connections should behave — because sometimes, love for and attachment to those people can really stir the pot in some confusing ways.

At its core, this episode is about the bedrock Dead Hearts Club was founded on: challenging ourselves to stay so heart open that you kinda feel like you’re gonna die — and doing it in a way that holds impeccable individual (and group) boundaries, taking a sh*t ton of personal responsibility, and allowing ourselves to be held in our unscripted, wildly unpredictable humanity and hearts.

In this episode, we redefine “safety” from a trauma-informed lens, and get raw about how shame occupies the space where our inner agency might otherwise call us forward when we are in deep, primal suffering. We’re talking about how the wisdom of our bodies can communicate what we need to midwife ourselves through the birthing of who we might be beneath our habits of hiding.

Intuition is, for many of us, an ephemeral thing. It speaks to us in a language only we understand, and its gifts are the hidden jewels of our lives -- guiding us toward or away from experiences and people that can alter the entire trajectory of our journey.

Is it possible to be in a co-dependent relationship with healing? How about a self-destructive relationship with "transformation"? If you sometimes find yourself poking around inside yourself, in search of the next thing to "fix," this episode is for you.

As we plan which topics to bring you each week, we do a little something we call Heart Storm: we get together, hash it out, talk for a long-ass time, and a theme emerges. If you’re just tuning in, you might be wondering what DHC means. This week, Bria and I sit down and just hit record — no theme, no topic, just two girls, two mics and (as you’ll discover), one very prominent camel toe.

In this episode, we’re talking about what bridges we’ve built from self-consciousness into a more open kind of self-expression, how it’s a constantly-evolving process, and how play shows up in our individual lives. This is a thoughtful exploration of how levity and joy might actually be our innate, foundational state of being — and how our inner Wounded Child can help us access our inner Wonder Child — that part of us that is authentic, creative, trusting and spontaneous.

In this episode, we explore the question: Who Are We Really? How do we touch the core essence of Self without bypassing all the human reality? How do you know which is the most reliable captain for your healing ship at any given time? What version of ourselves are we reaching for as our personal definition of "healing"? Who (or what) in us carries us toward an experience of healing that tells healing is taking root?

info_outline“If you took astrology, I-ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system, and pulled the threads of those together, that’s what Human Design is,” said Andrea Berg, when we interviewed her for this episode of Dead Hearts Club.
Andrea is a Leadership Coach, Teacher and Speaker that sparks transformation through Human Design and her 7 Life Elements. She teaches high achievers to become intentional and confident. Andrea says that your ability to follow your inner compass is directly related to how deeply you know yourself. This process provides incredible clarity and loosens the chains of toxic capitalism, white supremacy, and the patriarchy so that you can be your true self confidently and step into your unique ability to help create a world where we all thrive.
I think it’s really important — always, but maybe especially now — that as the lid closes on the dumpster fire that has been 2020, we find ways to honor ourselves, and honor the differences we encounter in other humans, and really consider what it is we’re contributing to the world, and do it in a way that’s authentic, embodied, and deeply respectful of the life force we’re each given to spend and create with in our lives. It’s the energy we create connection (or disconnection) with, and at the core of that, is the connection we’re nurturing with ourselves.
I think you’re really gonna love this exploration of Human Design, if you’re new to it (like I am), you may find yourself feeling validated in ways that really touch you — and if you’re already familiar with Human Design, Andrea will illuminate some of richer components of this system and its implications about what true self-acceptance might look like.
We had a lot of fun recording this episode — and then we got a real-time example of how splenic intuition drops some truth-bombs, as the conversation took a weird, totally relevant turn.
