    How Ancestral Threads Were Woven Into How I Showed Up in My Business

    Hi friends! This episode is a reflection on the quieter aftermath of burnout, the part that doesn’t arrive when you leave the job, but years later, when you realize your body and nervous system are still relearning how to trust themselves again. It was a semi-unscripted episode, pardon the ramblings and sometimes long pauses but reflected on how burnout unraveled identities I once relied on, and how grief cracked me open in ways I couldn’t have planned. Through relationships and family dynamics, parts of me healed that I didn’t even know were holding pain. This year, returning to China opened ancestral threads I hadn’t realized were still shaping me: threads around belonging, scarcity, and the inherited fear of being seen, taking up space, and using my voice safely. I began to see how those patterns wereliving in my body, quietly influencing how I showed up in my work and business. As I created more safety in my nervous system and relationships, old patterns began to soften. That same softening rippled into my business, making it possible for my work and eventually The 64 Gates Journey, to finally take root. This reflection is a reminder that what looks like delay is often preparation, and that rebuilding trust isn’t simply mindset fix, it needs somatic and communal support as well. Key Takeaways Burnout didn’t end when I left my job. The real work came later: rebuilding trust after feeling like I had betrayed my body and missed its signals.The ancestral threads that were living in my nervous system: Scarcity, belonging wounds, and fear around visibility shaped how safe it felt to take up space and speak.How safety changed everything. As I softened in relationships and released over-responsibility.Human Design became a language of needs, not rules. It helped me validate my patterns and meet my system where it was, instead of forcing “correctness.” With some examples through the 9 centres.What felt like stagnation was actually a period of gestation. The work needed time, and so did I, to become the person who could hold it without losing myself.

    When the Skin No Longer Fits: Discomfort, Identity & Growth

    In today’s episode, we dive into the lessons behind shedding, inspired by the year of the Snake 🐍 . The quiet, raw, beautifully uncomfortable space between endings and beginnings.It’s a reflection about: • the fear of being misunderstood• the ways we unconsciously hide• the identities we outgrow• and the space between version of us that’s trying to emerge and the one we're ready to release This year has stretched so many of us, reshaping our relationships, our bodies, our businesses, our sense of self. I share my own reflections on using my voice more boldly, trusting my expression, and recognizing the masks I didn’t realize I was still wearing. We explore the symbolism of the Snake year, the tension of the in-between, and the three natural phases every transformation moves through: awareness, integration, and embodiment. If you’re navigating a season of discomfort, transition, or subtle unraveling… this episode is a reminder that nothing is wrong. You’re simply growing beyond the skin that once kept you safe. And if you’d like to journey deeper into this work, into your shadows and your design, check out The 64 Gates Journey or watch the free Shifting Shadows workshop replay.

    Jasmine Nnenna on honouring endings, redefining failure and entrepreneurship in the Aquarian age

    What if letting go wasn’t a sign of failure—but an act of wisdom? In this episode of the Whole & Unleashed podcast, I sit down with Jasmine Nnenna, someone whose words and presence have been a guiding light for me and so many others navigating burnout, transition and the new paradigms of work and life. We talk about the real cost of hustle culture, redefining what it means to "fail," and how entrepreneurship is evolving in the Aquarian age. Jasmine brings a perspective that is both deeply rooted and visionary—where endings are sacred, multidimensionality is celebrated, and success is no longer measured by hustle, but by alignment. In this episode we explored: The liberation that comes from honouring endings—in business, relationships, and personal chapters Why Jasmine believes being a jack-of-all-trades can actually lead to mastery The role of curiosity in spiritual and entrepreneurial evolution Her personal deconditioning journey as a 3/5 Sacral Generator Reimagining "failure" as simply completion Letting your business be an artistic medium, not a performance What Aquarian entrepreneurship really looks and feels like—and why it centers relationship, reciprocity, and regeneration Embracing business as a soulful, cyclical expression, not a linear climb   Follow Jas www.instagram.com/erahsociety www.instagram.com/jasminennenna www.erahsociety.com

    Susi Barreto on leaving the world a better place and the mission behind her book ‘A Good Earthling’

    In today's episode I'm joined by my dear friend Susi Barreto. We first met during our Stråla Yoga training in Amsterdam back in 2017 and immediately connected over our shared love of movement, mindfulness and our latino roots. This conversation is a little different from my usual Human Design episodes. It's a heart-to-heart about sustainability, teaching, reconnecting to nature and the simple rituals that keep us grounded. Susi shares her journey from biologist to Stråla guide to children's book author. We talk about her first book A Good Earthling, a project born from her deep love for nature and her hope to help the next generation stay connected to it in a world that's becoming more digital every day. It's a reminder that small actions like biking to work, cooking from scratch, spending a few barefoot minutes outside can create real change. In this episode we talked about: Susi's childhood close to nature and how it shaped her passion for biology and teachingHer injury and the path that led her to Stråla YogaWhat inspired her to write A Good EarthlingThe challenges of trying to live sustainably when the world around us makes it hardFacing climate anxiety and choosing softness and love instead of fearHow everyday rituals like cooking, biking and being outdoors can keep us grounded and strong I hope this conversation leaves you feeling inspired to slow down, connect with nature and nourish the parts of you that long for a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.
