What if your energy came with instructions? On this episode, I sat down with Kemi Amin to unpack Human Design in a way that feels clear, grounded, and instantly useful. Kemi traces her path from an MBA in design strategy to becoming a Human Design reader, sharing how a system she once resisted became a daily practice for choice-making, creative flow, and relational ease. We break down the essentials—type, strategy, and authority—so you can start applying them today. For creatives and entrepreneurs, we talk tactics: aligning output with your energy, and making decisions that stick.

Listen for a warm, practical guide to Human Design that respects both spirit and strategy. If this conversation helps you move with more ease, share it with a friend, subscribe for more thoughtful episodes, and leave a quick review to tell us your biggest aha.

What happens when heartbreak is no longer the headline and your life becomes the story? On this episode, I sat down with author, mentor, and creative guide Mrs. Cynthia B to explore how personal responsibility, audacity, and intuition can turn pain into a blueprint for self-mastery. From unsent letters that became a first book to a thriving practice rooted in inner work, B shows how healing deepens when you stop outsourcing your power and start writing your own script.

We dig into the real timelines of growth—the unsexy, slow parts that compound when nobody’s watching. We connect creativity to spiritual freedom, honoring a practice that’s wide and elemental to claim a life that truly feels good. B also reveals her bold pivot from The Crimson Kiss to Audacity Redefined, and why shifting the foundation from men-centered healing to woman-centered self-development changed everything.

You’re not starting from scratch; you’re starting from experience.

When was the last time someone truly touched you? Not just physically, but in a way that made you feel seen, safe, and wholly present? For those living with chronic illness, trauma, or both, this question carries layers of complexity that most wellness conversations never reach.

Margeaux Feldman joins us to discuss their forthcoming memoir "Touch Me, I'm Sick: A Memoir In Essays" which explores the profound relationship between physical touch, trauma, and chronic illness. From their own journey with fibromyalgia to broader cultural questions about who society deems "touchable," Margeaux challenges us to reconsider what intimacy means beyond conventional frameworks.

"We're creatures that crave and need physical touch," Margeaux explains, before unraveling how early experiences shape our relationship with our bodies. The conversation ventures into territory rarely discussed: how chronic pain transforms intimate relationships, the revolutionary potential of platonic touch between friends, and why learning to touch ourselves with kindness might be the most radical act of healing.

For anyone who has felt isolated in their pain or questioned their worthiness of connection, this conversation offers both validation and possibility. Whether you're navigating chronic illness, processing trauma, or simply seeking deeper understanding of human connection, Margeaux's insights invite you to reimagine what touch and intimacy can mean in your own life.

Order "Touch Me, I'm Sick: A Memoir In Essays" today and follow Margeaux's newsletter "CARESCAPES" for weekly reflections on healing, connection, and more. Checkout the archive on @softcore_trauma IG.
