- 58 minutes 48 seconds#562 Clara Schroeder on Why Nature Calms An Overwhelmed Mind
In today's episode I'm joined by Clara Schroeder, ecotherapist and author of Re-Nature, for a conversation about nature, the nervous system, and why time outdoors does far more than clear your head.
Clara calls it the more than human world, and she takes us through what happens in the brain when we're in it. We get into the neuroscience of fractal patterns and why the predictability of a tree canopy or a wave settles the amygdala, the difference between exercising outdoors and relating to nature, and how she's seen nature connection ease loneliness, low mood and an overstimulated nervous system. She shares her own path through clinical depression and her recovery from a traumatic brain injury, plus the distinction she draws between physiological burnout and the ecological kind, the sort that comes from forgetting where we come from.
We also talk horses as healers, flow state, and the small daily practices that bring nature in when you live in a city: a nature altar, a colour walk, a moment of presence with your morning cup of tea.
If you've done all the inner work and still feel wired and disconnected from yourself, this is your reset.

20 August 2026, 12:00 am - 1 hour 11 minutes#561 Cameron Branch on The 2027 Alien Deception
In today's episode I'm sitting down with a fellow Aussie, Cameron Branch, host of The Hard Yarns Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation about aliens, disclosure, past lives and what it takes to trust your own inner knowing in a very noisy world. Cameron shares his take on what he believes is coming with contact and disclosure, and where he reckons the real deception sits. Then, live on air, I read his Human Design, because underneath the big topic runs a much simpler thread we keep returning to: your authentic self is the answer.
As a Manifesting Generator with sacral authority, Cameron is built to lead with his gut instead of his mind, and his gate of opinion means he is here to share what he thinks without needing to be right. We get into how you discern truth when the news, social media and even well-meaning experts are all fighting for your attention, why going first gives other people permission to do the same, and what it looks like to come back to your own authority rather than handing it away.

In today's episode, I coach Rachael, who runs a catering business with her husband that looks good on paper but was built through force, and now finds herself in functional burnout with one foot in it and one foot in something of her own.
Rachael is a 5/1 Emotional Generator.
We get into the real reason she can't hand anything over, the story that quality drops the moment she delegates, and why that is an identity belief, not the truth. We get into building the systems that let her opt out in small steps, then go deeper into her largely unconscious chart, why forcing mental clarity about how her body feels will never work, and how to rebuild trust with her sacral when it has been running on empty.

10 August 2026, 4:00 am - 1 hour 10 minutes#559 Why Everything Feels Hard Now (It's a Good Sign)
In today's episode, Jeff and Clayton from FLFE are back, and we get into why so many of us feel like everything has gone hard, sticky and heavy right now. Their answer is a relief: consciousness is rising, and when it rises, it gets tested. The solar system, the planet and this part of the galaxy are all climbing, which is exactly why you might feel stuck on a plateau, or like the pressure has quietly cranked up. It is not a sign you are off track. It is a sign you are right on it.
We talk about trusting your inner authority when you can no longer tell what is real, setting smaller goals and going back to basics, and getting brutally honest with your own shadow while still softening on yourself. Then we turn to AI from a consciousness perspective: what it reflects back about us, where it genuinely helps, where it can never replace a human, and why growth through joy might matter more now than any amount of hard work.

In today's episode, I coach Kerrie, a leadership coach who can feel a bigger business forming, one that goes beyond one-to-one work to change how organisations lead, without burning herself out to build it.
Kerrie is a 4/6 Emotional Manifestor.
We get into why her design makes her the initiator and the face, the one who builds the frameworks and the IP and then brings others in to execute, rather than doing everything herself. We look at the real question underneath the fear, not "do I need a team" but "what do I need right now," and why the right people show up once the work exists. And why she keeps waiting for a sign to move, when the knowing is already hers.
If you have ever felt a bigger vision pulling at you and stalled because you didn't yet have the team, the proof or the permission to begin, this one is for you.

3 August 2026, 6:00 am - 1 hour 29 minutes#557 August 2026 Energy Update: Who You Build With, Who You Cut
In today's episode I'm joined by Yvette Mayer (HD Transits Expert) and Lauren Hansen (Resident Astrologer) for the August energy update, and the whole month turns on one question: who are you building it with? In Human Design we move out of the throat-centre gates and into the quarter of duality, so the focus shifts off what you're making and onto your relationships. In astrology it lands from the same direction, with Venus moving home into Libra and Mars dropping into Cancer. It's a relational, reflective and at times emotional month, with two eclipses reshaping who's in your corner. The gates and dates we cover are listed below, so you can check them against your own chart.
KEY DATES FOR AUGUST
Astrology (with Lauren)
- 23 Jul: Mercury stations direct, carrying easier communication into August.
- Late Jul into early Aug: Venus square Mars (Venus in Virgo, Mars in Gemini), over-stimulation and a pull toward discernment, quality over quantity.
- 6 Aug to 9 Sep: Venus at home in Libra, collaboration, harmony and easier relating.
- 6 to 11 Aug: Venus trine Uranus and Pluto, opposite Neptune. Surprising new people and real chemistry, with a reminder to check the details before you idealise anyone.
- 11 Aug to 28 Sep: Mars in Cancer, driven by what and who you care about, protective of home and family, with a passive-aggression risk to watch.
- 12 Aug: Leo solar eclipse (new moon) with the south node and Jupiter. Confidence, creativity and identity, letting go of an old way of leading to grow into the next.
- 15 Aug: Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Leo, a strong day for announcements, pitching, launching and sharing your voice.
- 19 to 22 Aug: Venus opposite Saturn in Aries, defining relationships, setting boundaries and keeping what lasts.
- 23 to 29 Aug: Sun square Uranus, restlessness and aha moments, so ground yourself before any big impulsive calls.
- 28 Aug (AUS): Pisces lunar eclipse (full moon) near the north node, squared by Uranus. Big emotions, with surrender and boundaries needed at once.
Human Design (with Yvette)
- Throughout August: Gates 30 and 41 (root centre and solar plexus), fantasy and quantum possibility, grounding what is possible into reality.
- Throughout August: Gate 33 moving into Jupiter, reflective, looking-back and storytelling energy.
- First half, around 11 to 12 Aug: Gate 7 (leadership by invitation) with Gate 29 in the south node (commitment, and what to release).
- Mid month: Gate 4 in the ajna, creative problem solving and spotting your patterns.
- Late Aug: Gate 59 (intimacy and trust built over time) with Gate 57 through Venus (intuition and instinct).
- End of month: Gate 40 (boundaries and discernment) and Gates 39 and 55 turning on (the channel of emoting).

30 July 2026, 5:00 am - 31 minutes 6 seconds#556 The Visionary Breakthrough Sessions: Why Rest Feels Unsafe
Welcome to another Visionary Breakthrough Session, a live, intimate coaching experience with members of my private HDx Collective. I coach one member live on air, working through what is really going on beneath the surface, so you can witness a genuine breakthrough as it happens and take whatever resonates into your own life and business.
If you want this kind of coaching, come and join us inside the HDx Collective: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/collective
In today's episode, I coach Rachel, who has done deep identity work and knows exactly who she is, but under pressure she still snaps back to the old pattern.
Rachel is a 6/2 Emotional Projector.
We unpack how a new identity becomes your automatic default, why staying productive can be a clever way to avoid the discomfort of stillness, why rest feels unsafe when your success was built on hustle, proving and doing and how a dysregulated nervous system, rather than mindset, is often the real thing keeping you from slowing down. As an Emotional Projector with emotional authority, Rachel has huge capacity to feel, so we explore how releasing long-held emotion and finding safety in the body can happen through joy instead of hard graft.
If you have ever known exactly who you want to be yet snapped back into old habits the moment life gets busy, cannot sit still without reaching for something to do, or feel guilty when you rest, this one is for you.

In today's episode I'm joined again by Ainslie MacLeod, a past life psychic who works with spirit guides to help people find their purpose and heal what they have carried in from other lifetimes. We talk about the shift in consciousness happening right now, why old souls are feeling the state of the world so heavily, and the pattern almost every empath will recognise: the narcissist does not create your wound, they find one that is already there and keep pressing on it.
Ainslie explains why healing that fear at the past life level changes what you attract, and why fight, flight, freeze and fawn are old fears being triggered rather than proof something is wrong with you. We get into boundaries that hold once the calm settles, his course for empaths recovering from narcissistic abuse, and his new podcast Psychics Not Saints, which came out of being over the performance of spirituality. I bring it back to Human Design too: the solar plexus mutation, the deconditioning we all need around hard work, and why joy is not the reward at the end, it is the point.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach

23 July 2026, 6:00 am - 25 minutes 17 seconds#554 The Weekly Wrap: What Actually Makes Your Human Design Type
In today's Weekly Wrap, I break down the mechanics that actually create your Human Design type, and why so many people who love Human Design have never been taught this part.
I walk you through what makes a Manifestor, a Generator, a Manifesting Generator, a Projector and a Reflector, right down to the definition. A motor connected to the throat. A defined sacral. The splits that change everything. Once you understand this, you start to see why two Projectors can show up in completely different ways, and why we cannot put ourselves in a neat little type box. Your definition matters just as much as your type.
I also share the seven money principles from The Richest Man in Babylon, written back in 1926 and still holding up, because the principles have never changed. We get into why AI is a skill worth building now rather than later, a LinkedIn growth strategy we are running inside HDx that you can set up with five to ten friends this week, and why getting your eyes on your business metrics is the thing that lets your brain finally see the evidence of your own growth.

In today's episode, I coach Elese, who is moving through a separation and living under a court order that dictates where she and her daughter can be, right when everything in her is built for freedom.
Elese is a 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator.
We unpack why a Manifesting Generator who needs freedom above almost anything feels a court order in her whole body, and why the line two energy running all through her chart resists being told where to live and how. We get into the reframe that actually shifts something, moving from "how long until this is over" to "how do I meet these needs now," and using Gate 50 in her culture to honour her values and her connection to country even inside the restriction. In the second half we turn to work, the nonlinear path of an MG who has built more than one career, and the real question sitting under "employment or my own thing," which is what the thread is and why her design points to building something that is hers and taking it into other communities rather than shrinking inside a group.
If you have ever been stuck in a situation you did not choose and cannot change, quietly waiting for it to be over before you let yourself live, this one is for you.

18 July 2026, 3:00 am - 33 minutes 20 seconds#552 The Weekly Wrap: Your Repelling Aura Isn't Rejection
In today's episode I'm bringing you the Weekly Wrap, and I'm starting with a human design cheat sheet on aura mechanics, because the manifestor "repelling" aura gets a lot of bad press and I want to clear it up.
Repelling isn't rejection. If you're a manifestor, your aura is doing exactly what it's meant to do: moving the people who aren't your people out of the way so you can inspire the ones you are here to inspire. I run through all five auras so you can feel the difference, from the magnetic pull of the generator and manifesting generator, to the deep seeing of the projector and why that gift is only yours to give when there is an invitation, to the curious, sampling aura of the reflector. If the original human design language has ever made you feel like there is something wrong with you, this one is for you.
From there it is a proper wrap. I share a simple reframe from the mastermind about focusing on the shadow of your defined channels instead of trying to decondition everything. I invite you to look back at who you were ten and twenty years ago and really take in how far you have come. I get into Barbault's Basket, an astrological configuration some are reading as a relaunch after the contraction of the last few years. And I talk about why building business in alignment matters, and the shift from the masculine model to the feminine one.
