The Recognition Room Pod

We are two Splenic Projectors, one a healer of the mind and one healer of the body, who come together to discuss all things human design and the depth of the human experience. We like to dive deep into topics that fascinate us and learn more about what it means to be human. We ground Human Design into our real lived experiences, the everyday practical ways that Human Design shows up, all through our projector insight.

    Madalyn Quit Her Job in Corporate

    Welcome to the Recognition Room Podcast with your hosts, Madalyn and Megan. Madalyn put in her two weeks! After nearly two years of wrestling with the decision of when to leave her corporate job, she's officially stepping into a new chapter, building a career in massage therapy, and making room for the parts of herself that haven't had space to come through. In this episode, we talk about what it actually takes to make a big life decision when fear, financial security, and the need to get everything just right keep you circling the same question. Madalyn shares how the decision unfolded, the moment she realized she couldn't take on any more, and what it felt like to finally say, "I'm ready." We explore the difference between knowing something in your head and being ready to embody it, how asking everyone else for their opinions can keep us stuck, and what changes when you stop looking for permission and start trusting your own inner knowing. We also get into what it feels like to leave an environment where you've spent years feeling like only half of yourself, and the excitement and uncertainty of building a life that gives you room to be fully you. Through the lens of Human Design, we talk about Splenic Authority, timing, and what it can feel like when a decision finally lands in your body. Because sometimes the work isn't about finding the perfect plan. It's about recognizing when you're ready to trust yourself, even when you can't know exactly how everything will unfold. If you've been sitting with a big decision, waiting for the fear to disappear or looking for one more sign that you're ready, this conversation is an invitation to consider what might happen when you stop asking everyone else and give yourself the space to hear what you already know.

    In the Room with Us: Emily Buzzard

    Welcome to the Recognition Room podcast with Megan and Madalyn. Please welcome our guest, Emily Buzzard to the room. She was originally our 1st podcast guest, but we delayed this episode for a little while. We are so excited to share this conversation with you all. You can find her on instagram: @emilycatherine.designs  In this episode, we sit down with Emily, an interior designer who recently made the leap from working in manufacturing to building her own creative business. She came to us with a question a lot of people can probably relate to: If I know I’m capable of doing something great, why does it feel so hard to actually put myself out there and trust that I am good enough and that I know enough? We talk about the fear of being a beginner, the vulnerability of putting creative work into the world, and what happens when you know you want something but still feel like there’s some invisible block keeping you from moving forward. Together, we explore the difference between knowing you can succeed and actually trusting yourself enough to let yourself be seen. We talk about visibility, social media, comparison, perfectionism, and the pressure to have everything figured out before you begin. And, of course, we bring Human Design into the conversation to explore some of the energetic patterns underneath what Emily is experiencing. Come sit in the Recognition Room with us as we work through Emily's blocks in real time and explore what it can look like to trust the path you're already on, even when you can't quite see where it's going yet.

    How to actually work with your crystals with Scarlett Seebach

    Welcome to The Recognition Room with Madalyn and Megan! In this episode of The Recognition Room, we’re joined by Scarlett, a 5/1 Emotional Manifestor, Reiki Master, crystal healing specialist, Human Design reader, and creator of Astral Reiki. Scarlett was also our roommate in Mexico, so this conversation is personal, funny, and full of the kind of energetic conversations that happen when three spiritually curious women get together. You can find Scarlett here: Website: www.yourabundantdesign.com Get Scarlett’s new book here: https://a.co/d/09mxYCBu We talk about her experience as a Manifestor, including creative urges, emotional authority, informing in relationships, and learning how to work with your energy without completely depleting yourself. Scarlett shares what she calls the “tortured mania” of a creative cycle, how she has learned to recognize when her body needs rest, and what it looks like to have a relationship where two people can honor very different energetic rhythms. We also dive into crystal healing, crystal communication, clairaudience, intuition, and Scarlett’s upcoming book about how to actually work with crystals. Rather than treating crystals as something to simply collect, she talks about developing a stewardship-based relationship with them, creating crystal grids, and learning to listen to what your own intuition is telling you. She also explains Astral Reiki, the non-touch energy healing modality she created, and how it differs from traditional Usui Reiki This conversation is ultimately about recognizing that there is more than one way to be intuitive, spiritual, or a healer. Your way of working with energy might look completely different from someone else’s, and that difference can be part of the medicine. If you’re interested in Human Design, Manifestors, Reiki, crystal healing, intuition, energy work, or learning to trust your own way of experiencing the world, this one is for you.

    What didn't we talk about today...

    Welcome to the Recognition Room podcast with Megan and Madalyn! In this episode, we talk about what happens when your life changes and suddenly the people, relationships, routines, and priorities that used to fit don't quite fit anymore. We talk about motherhood, friendship, and the complicated process of realizing that some relationships simply belong to different seasons of our lives. We get into what it actually looks like to support someone through a major life transition, and how sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is meet someone where they are instead of expecting them to be who they were before. We also talk about learning to ask for what we need, letting people know how we want to be supported, and the difference between being cared for and feeling truly connected. Because sometimes you can have plenty of practical support and still miss the people who know you. Then we get into some very real-life moments: navigating big emotions, learning to let ourselves cry without needing to solve anything, handling unexpected triggers, and figuring out how to reset when one frustrating thing starts turning into an entire frustrating day. We talk about creativity and social media, too, and what it has been like to build something that feels genuinely fun instead of turning it into another thing we have to perform perfectly. There's something really freeing about creating simply because you enjoy it, especially when you're willing to stop worrying about whether everyone else understands it. And we end up talking about grief, forgiveness, spiritual experiences, transition, visibility, and the feeling that something is shifting even when you can't quite name what comes next.

    In the Room with Us: Jered Bailey

    Welcome to the Recognition Room podcast with Megan and Madalyn. This week we have our first guest in the Recognition Room, welcome Jered to the space! Go find Jered and send him some love: Instagram: @PerspectivetrainerJered’s website: www.perspectivetrainer.com  Jered is an embodiment coach and the founder of Perspective Trainers and Breathe Tacoma, where he helps people build a deeper relationship with their emotions, nervous system, body, and inner world. We talk about what happens when you spend years trying to heal, understand yourself, and find your way back to who you really are. Jered shares his own journey from focusing almost entirely on his physical body to realizing that the deeper work was learning how to actually feel. We get into the ways we disconnect from sensation, how emotional conditioning can shape the way we move through the world, and what becomes possible when we start treating our bodies as a source of information instead of something to override. And then, of course, we get into Human Design. Jered is a 4/1 Emotional Manifesting Generator, and we explore his relationship with being a deeply curious person who has moved through many different identities, interests, and chapters of his life. Rather than seeing all of those versions of himself as chaotic or disconnected, we talk about the thread underneath them all: the desire to know himself more deeply and turn lived experience into wisdom. We also talk about visibility, creativity, relationships, boundaries, and what it means to stop trying to be understood by everyone. Jered shares his intention behind creating content: “weird 'em in.” Instead of trying to appeal to everyone, he's learning to put out the signal for the people who resonate with what he's creating and let the right people find him. There's a lot in this conversation about trusting your body's yes and no, choosing relationships that feel reciprocal, letting yourself be seen more fully, and recognizing that all of the different versions of you may have been leading you somewhere all along. Ultimately, this episode is about coming back into relationship with yourself enough to say: This feels right for me. This doesn't. This is what I want to create. These are the people I want to connect with. And I don't need everyone to understand me for it to be true. Because maybe the goal isn't to become more palatable. Maybe it's to become more you, and let the people who are meant to find you recognize themselves in what you're creating. Join us like you're in the room with us.

    Madalyn’s Birthday, On Feeling Loved, & Inner Child Comfort Meals

    Welcome to the first Recognition Room podcast with Megan and Madalyn! In this episode, we talk about birthdays, romance, being loved in the ways that actually land, and how our childhoods shape the ways we experience consideration, food, family, and relationships. We get into the strange differences between growing up with siblings and growing up as an only child, the comfort foods and traditions we carry with us, and the generational stories that can live inside something as simple as bread on the dinner table. We also talk about books, gardening, collecting knowledge, tarot and oracle cards, and the desire to surround ourselves with the things that spark curiosity and make us feel connected to ourselves.  And we explore what it means to build a sense of belonging when you live somewhere that doesn't quite feel like home yet, including learning to notice the cycles of the land around you when they don't look like the seasons you grew up with. And, because this is the Recognition Room, we inevitably find our way into Human Design, embodiment, fear, and the deep waters we both love to look at but aren't necessarily ready to jump into. This one is less about having a big takeaway and more about recognizing how much of who we are lives in the small things: what we crave, what we collect, what makes us feel loved, what reminds us of home, and what our bodies instinctively know.

    Shadow Work and Identity Shifts

    Welcome to the first Recognition Room podcast with Megan and Madalyn! It is audio only for this episode because Megan’s daughter is hanging out with us this time. In this episode, we talk about shadow work, shame, parenting, embodiment, and what happens when we stop treating every uncomfortable emotion as something that needs to be solved. We explore how our shadows can be learned survival strategies, how they show up in the body, and how becoming aware of them can help us reclaim more of who we are. We also get into the very real-time process of transition: changing careers, learning to trust what comes naturally, honoring the body's limits, and noticing the difference between doing something because we're aligned with it and doing something because we're trying to prove ourselves. As always, we weave Human Design into the conversation, exploring the two line, open centers, splenic authority, and what it can look like to move from intellectually understanding your design to actually embodying it. And somewhere along the way, we come back to one of the biggest themes of this podcast: maybe you're already doing better than you think you are. Maybe the work isn't becoming someone different. Maybe it's learning to recognize the parts of you that have been there all along. Listen in as we talk about shadow work, nervous system awareness, conscious parenting, career transitions, embodiment, and the strange, beautiful process of becoming more yourself.
