    31. The Clairs: Recognizing Your Intuitive Gifts with Jazzy The Mystic

    Have you ever just known something — taken a different route home for no reason, felt something was off about a situation everyone else seemed fine with, or made a call that turned out to be right later on? For many people, these are the first signs of intuitive gifts that have been there all along. In this episode, I'm joined by Jazzy The Mystic, a 6/2 Self-Projected Projector who built a successful law career before a spiritual awakening at age 30 changed everything. Jazzy now works as a Spiritual Guide for high achievers, helping them cut through the noise and reconnect with the internal guidance system they've been overriding with logic. We get into the six Clairs — what they are, how they show up, and how to start recognizing which ones might already be active for you — why your logical mind tries to talk you out of your instincts, and what it looks like to bring these gifts into your work. We cover: Jazzy's shift from a logic-focused upbringing to discovering her natural mediumship gifts.How a disappearing salad forced Jazzy to pay attention to the spiritual activity in her home.The 6 Clairs — from Clairsentience (clear feeling) to Clairgustance (clear taste) — how to start recognizing which ones are already showing up for youSimilarities between Self-Projected Projectors and Manifestors, and how they can tap into their authority without waiting for permission.Practical tips for highly sensitive, receptive people to clear their energy and maintain boundaries.Why the logical mind tries to talk you out of your strongest instincts.

    29. Human Design 101: How to Stop Overthinking and Make Confident Decisions

    Information alone isn’t enough to create real change, and Human Design is no exception. To get real transformation from this system, you must begin making new decisions. The problem is, most of us were taught to make logical, mentally-sound decisions, and psychology shows that our mind prioritizes safety above all else (even if it makes us miserable). In this episode, we’re going deep on why people struggle with Strategy & Authority, how waiting for the right opportunities can keep you stuck, and how to build self-trust through low-stakes action. Read the blog version of this podcast here. We explore: Why simply learning your Human Design doesn't helpHow I navigated a sudden move with Emotional AuthorityWhy certain authorities require mental processingThe role Cognition plays in day-to-day decisionsThe limitations of using Strategy and Authority alone Connect with Keolani: Join the Variable Masterclass WaitlistGet Your Free Human Design ChartBook a 1:1 Human Design Reading⁠⁠@keolaniyoung on TikTok⁠⁠@keolaniyoung on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠All the links If you enjoyed this episode of Great Measure, don't forget to rate, review, and share this episode with a friend!
