    #22 Who's truly the expert?

    I recorded this on my morning walk. No edits. Just real life and a clear thought that needed to land. When every “expert” sounds confident but the advice contradicts itself, it’s easy to feel more confused than clear. This episode is a simple reminder: your body already knows. Human Design is a tool to help you gain trust and confidence in the expert advice of your own body. Sometimes confusion isn’t about lacking information. It’s about outgrowing the identity that needed external validation. If you’re in a transition, especially one you can’t fully name yet, this is the work I do. The Activation is a one-time, 75-minute Identity Activation.Through Human Design and the Gene Keys, we uncover the identity you’ve outgrown, the transition you’re navigating, the pattern keeping you stuck, and the next grounded step forward. Together I support you in reclaiming and owning your expert advice in life. This is beyond a reading, it’s a catalytic life-changing experience. If you feel the pull, book your Activation. If this resonates and you want to dive deeper into understanding first, with ease you can at valeriebirch.com Do you feel connected to the expert within? Share with my on Instagram.

    #21 With Mel Browne: What It Actually Feels Like to Live Your Incarnation Cross, Sleep & Inner Authority

    There’s no accident you’ve been drawn to this episode. Your soul called this in. This is not just a podcast, it’s a frequency transmission from the heart of the Cross of Penetration. In this episode, Valerie sits down with Mel Browne, 3/5 Sacral Generator and founder of Rise Human Design, for a deep, grounded, and unscripted conversation about what it actually feels like to live your Incarnation Cross, the power of sleep for your type and inner authority. Valerie and Mel are both the Cross of Penetration, so something inside of you is ready for a breakthrough and this episode just may be it. Listen to the end as what Mel shares about what is lighting her up is straight FIRE! In this episode, we explore: * The subtle, often invisible impact of the Cross of Penetration * What it really means to follow your Inner Authority (when the mind wants to take over) * Why the Cross of Penetration is less about “teaching” and more about energetic disruption * How to be at peace with planting seeds you’ll never see bloom * The link between sleep, nervous system health, and following your own pacing as an entrepreneur * Releasing the pressure to explain your path or prove your worth * Generators need to burn off energy for restorative sleep * Emotional regulation is vital in chaotic times * Integrating human design into daily practices enhances life * Self-care is the first step to changing the world Take this forward Because you are here, we invite you to journal on the dinner party of the Cross of Penetration: Where can’t you seem to make a breakthrough? What is about to pop? Let it work on you. Listen. Let it land. It is for you.

    #20 - From Fantasy to First Step: Renaming the Podcast & Trusting the Unknown

    What dream won’t leave you alone, no matter how much your mind tries to talk you out of it? In this personal and powerful episode, I share the decision to rename my podcast and the deep contemplations that led here. It’s not just a change in title - it’s a lived experiment in trusting timing, backing myself, and letting clarity come through imperfect action. We explore: * How fantasies and daydreams may be seeds of your next step * The tension between wanting certainty and needing to leap * Why embodiment, not just insight, is how we move forward * What it really means to “build the plane as you’re flying it” * The power of deep conversations and trusting what lights you up Whether you’re dreaming of something new or standing at the edge of your own unknown, this episode invites you to tune into the frequency of self-trust—and begin. Share with me on IG @human.design.parenting what imperfect action your taking this week because of the fire in your belly? 🎧 Listen to Episode 20, the last of The Home Within Her, before transitioning into the newly named podcast, Deep Conversations with Valerie Birch(Link in bio) This is a public episode.

    #19 - The Sleep You’re Craving Isn’t Just Physical: MG Conversation on Life, Sleep & the Body

    Have you ever wondered why you still feel tired… even when you’re doing everything “right”? In this first guest conversation, I sit down with Austeen Heeney with Free To Be Yoga Massage — a bodyworker, yoga teacher, and manifesting generator — for a grounded, honest talk about the deeper connection between sleep, energy, and self-trust. We explore what happens when we stop trying to earn our rest and instead begin to understand what we actually need — in our minds, our bodies, and our sleep. This episode is for you if you’ve been wondering: * Why you still feel tired after a full night’s sleep * What it means to “speak the body’s language” — and how to begin * How Human Design can offer surprising insight into sleep, energy use, and daily rhythm * What it looks like to honor your real needs (without guilt) * And how your environment — inside and out — shapes your rest This isn’t a list of tips. It’s a reflection, an invitation, and a lived example of what happens when we start trusting the quieter knowing within us.

    #18 - Not Rushing into 2026: Trusting in More Rest

    In this episode, I share what’s been unfolding in my own body and life as 2025 comes to a close and how even with all the intention to rest, my body asked for more. Together, we reflect on the illusion of the “new year rush,” how collective pressure can disconnect us from our own timing, and why more rest isn’t laziness - it’s wisdom. This is an invitation to take the sacred pause your body is asking for. We explore: – Why your exhaustion is valid and not something to push through – How to discern between societal noise and your true energy – The significance of ending a 9-year cycle in numerology – Ways to stay rooted in what you need even when the world is speeding up Let this episode be a soft landing, a breath of space, and a reminder: you don’t have to have it all figured out by January 1st. Trust what your body already knows. Only love, Valerie This is a public episode.

    #17 - The Holiday Hustle Trap: What Every Type Needs to Know About Their Energy

    December has a way of pulling us out of alignment — especially when the world celebrates doing more, buying more, planning more. In this episode, we explore how each Human Design type experiences seasonal pressure, why non-sacrals (Projectors, Manifestors, Reflectors) often hit a wall, and how even Generators and MGs can burn out when they say yes to what drains them. With stories from my own experience as a Projector — and the subtle addiction to “just one more thing” — this is a reminder to reclaim your pace, trust your inner authority, and notice where your mind is overriding your body. Whether you’re racing through to-dos or resisting the rest you crave, this episode brings compassion, clarity, and a whole-body invitation back to self-love. This is a public episode.

    Line 2 & the Feelings That Feel Too Big: Why Emotions Are the New Compass for Conscious Parents

    In this episode, we pause after the morning rush — the school drop‑off, the winter sun on your face — and open a sacred conversation about emotions, energy, and parenting through the lens of Human Design. Whether you’re a Line 2 yourself, raising one, or simply someone who feels deeply, this is for you. We dive into: * Discover how our society favors the mind over the body, and why that might leave us feeling disconnected, exhausted, or misunderstood. * Why Line 2 profiles often feel “too much” — and why that’s their gift * How to support children (or yourself) in expressing emotions without suppression or shame * The power of verbalizing emotion and modeling nervous system regulation in real time * Why feeling emotions in the body is essential for true self-trust * Hear grounded, real-life examples of navigating emotional storms when raising (or being) sensitive spirits — and why silence or “fixing” isn’t the answer. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about practice. Soft, messy, loving awareness in the moments that matter most. ✨ If this resonates, share it with a soul who’s ready to feel fully and parent consciously. ✨ Rate and review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts — it helps this emotional wisdom ripple outward.
