- 1 hour 2 minutes#570 Lauren LoGrasso on Motherhood, Creativity and Your Greatest Success
Motherhood and creativity are at the heart of this one, and I loved every minute. Lauren LoGrasso is back on the show, and she’s lived a whole lifetime since we last spoke. She got married, walked away from her corporate podcast job, built a business that out-earned her salary within a month, and welcomed her son Leonardo. We talk about matrescence, the identity shift nobody prepares you for, and how burning out on weekly consistency taught her to stop doing things just because she “should.”
This one’s for you if you’re a mum, you want to be one, or you’re a creative woman who’s been told her career dries up once the baby arrives. Lauren has noticed a pattern across hundreds of her guests that flips that story on its head. We get into creativity and AI and the creative debt you might be carrying. Then I pull up Lauren and Leonardo’s Human Design connection chart and share what I’d look for in any child’s chart.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why so many women hit their greatest creative and career success after having kids
- How matrescence reshapes your identity, and why that can fuel your work
- What “creative debt” is and how to start paying it down, even in the newborn fog
- How to work with AI in a way that keeps your own creativity alive
- What to look for in your child’s Human Design chart, from authority and profile to their unique timing

22 October 2026, 3:00 am - 38 minutes 35 seconds#569 Human Design Authority and Money: Decide From Your Body
Human Design Authority and money is where my experiment gets really practical, and today we’re going there. This is episode three of my Money and Human Design series, so if you’re just landing here, go back and start with money and type, then money and strategy, and come back to me. I’m walking you through how your authority, your body’s built-in way of making decisions, becomes your power seat for every money choice, from the big investment calls to the tiny everyday ones.
This one is for the woman who’s been handed the story that money belongs to a small club of people who aren’t her. I share the week I slipped into an old scarcity pattern while chasing a savings goal, the small and slightly counterintuitive decisions that pulled me out of it, and what landed in my account afterwards. Then I go through each authority so you can feel what a correct money decision looks like for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why your authority is your ultimate permission slip to take back the power seat with money
- How to tell the difference between your conditioned mind and your body’s guidance when money is on the line
- Why the small money decisions matter as much as the big ones, and how they build trust in yourself
- What a correct money decision looks and feels like for your specific authority
- How to use expert support and AI to learn about money without giving your power away
Chapters:00:00 — Your Human Design is your ultimate permission slip
00:54 — Welcome to episode three of the Money series: authority as your permission slip
03:01 — Why authority is so underestimated in the Human Design world
05:24 — What authority is: moving decisions out of the conditioned mind
07:46 — How we override our authority (and why you’ll say no more often)
10:07 — Why authority matters so much for money
12:35 — Setting an intention and letting your authority guide you to the right people
14:34 — Small decisions and the savings-goal story
19:01 — The authority hierarchy: how to find yours on any chart
19:37 — Emotional authority and money
22:22 — Sacral authority and money
24:37 — Splenic authority and money
28:25 — Ego, self-directed and mental projector: the sounding-board authorities
32:07 — Staying the authority in your money story
33:37 — Learning about money with AI as your running buddy
35:26 — What years of trusting my authority with money taught me
37:54 — How your body feels is your money frequency

20 October 2026, 4:00 am - 1 hour 40 minutes#568 Past Life Regression Explained with Boris Walter
This one took me somewhere I've been fascinated by and a little scared of for years: past life regression. My guest is Boris Walter, a psychotherapeutic consultant who has guided over a thousand hypnosis sessions and who stumbled into this work almost against his will. I share my own past life experience that shifted a lifelong behaviour pattern instantly, and then Boris takes us right into what this work actually is.
We get into what past life regression really is (and why hypnosis isn't the scary mind-control thing the movies sold us), the case that almost made Boris quit, how he spoke to an entity coming through a client and helped shift a whole family lineage, why our gifts get shut down in childhood, and the pattern he sees across every single session: judgment waiting to be resolved into love. It's deep, a little wild, and exactly the kind of conversation my community lives for.
What You'll Learn:
- What past life regression actually is, and why hypnosis isn't the loss of control we fear
- How Boris accidentally fell into this work, and what a thousand-plus sessions taught him
- The case that almost made him quit, and the ethics of what clients should and shouldn't remember
- How healing a trauma in one lifetime (or one ancestor) can shift an entire lineage
- Why our intuitive gifts get shut down in childhood, and how to reclaim them
- The pattern underneath every session: judgment waiting to be resolved into love
Chapters:
- 00:00 — Welcome, and my own past life experience that changed everything
- 04:13 — Boris's story: from fly-in fly-out welder to psychotherapy and hypnosis
- 07:42 — How his clients led him into past life (parallel life) work
- 13:43 — What past life regression actually is, and the fear around hypnosis
- 20:42 — The responsibility of holding this sacred space
- 24:28 — The case that almost made him quit: the recording that went wrong
- 31:33 — What he learned, and the psychic who gave him "the marking"
- 39:43 — Speaking to the ancestor: healing an entity and a whole lineage
- 49:25 — How our gifts get shut down in childhood, and reclaiming them
- 56:06 — The pattern across 1,000+ sessions: judgment, forgiveness and truth
- 01:07:00 — The bigger picture: polarity, fear and the state of the world
- 01:19:00 — Judgment, spiritual bypassing, and meeting people where they are
- 01:24:34 — Final message: you only ever meet yourself
- 01:29:18 — Where to find Boris
- 01:34:08 — The council, and the "blue flame" message about his gift

I've been deep in money, investing and AI lately, so I brought in someone I've followed for years: Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K, author of the New York Times bestseller Financial Feminist, and host of the number one money podcast for women in the world. Tori does money with a middle finger up to the patriarchy, and this conversation is a masterclass in why your financial power is your freedom.

What You'll Learn:
- Why money is a learned skill, and how women are conditioned to give their financial power away
- How Tori saved her first $100K, and the autopilot savings habit you can start today
- The high earner trap: why making good money can leave you with nothing to show for it
- Why you need your own money in every relationship, and the yours/mine/ours approach

8 October 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 4 minutes#566 October 2026 Transits: Your Human Design & Astrology Forecast
The transits are back. After a month off, I'm joined again by Yvette for the Human Design transits and Lauren for the astrology, and October 2026 is a big one. Coming out of eclipse season, this month is all about slowing down, getting out of your head and into your body, and asking what you actually want to be devoted to.
We get into the splenic gates lighting up one after another (instinct, intuition and evolution), the powerful manifestation window from the 9th to the 14th when almost the whole bodygraph is switched on, the Libra new moon, Venus retrograde in Scorpio and what it stirs up around money, fear and what you're afraid to lose, Mars moving into Leo, and the Mercury retrograde landing late in the month. If you take one thing from this episode: slow down, reflect, and let the old stuff go.
What You'll Learn:
- Why the splenic gates switching on make October about instinct, intuition and evolution, not starting new things
- The high-energy manifestation window from Oct 9–14, when nearly the whole bodygraph is lit up
- What Venus retrograde in Scorpio is really asking you (what are you afraid to lose?)
- How the Libra new moon, Mars in Leo and the late-month Mercury retrograde shape the month
- How to work with retrogrades instead of fearing them, and why slowing down is the whole message
Chapters:
- 00:00 — The transits are back: catching up after a month off
- 01:01 — Lauren's news, and why it's healthy to stop tracking every transit
- 03:31 — Coming out of eclipse season as a different person

- 33:57 — The Oct 9–14 power window: intuition, gate 57 and four motors firing
- 37:40 — Astrology: the Libra new moon (Oct 10)
- 42:25 — Mars enters Leo for all of October
- 46:40 — The T-square through Oct 5: stay in your own lane
- 50:11 — Venus retrograde in Scorpio (Oct 3–Nov 13): money, values and exes
- 55:58 — Oct 23: Sun enters Scorpio, the Venus cazimi, and Mercury retrograde begins
- 01:00:45 — Full moon in Taurus (Oct 26) and finding some ease
- 01:03:35 — The month's real message: slow down, and what will you be devoted to?

1 October 2026, 3:00 am - 36 minutes 33 seconds#565 Your Human Design Strategy Is the Money Map No One Taught You to Read
This is episode two of the Money and Human Design series, and today is all about your Human Design Strategy, the most powerful and most overlooked key to making money in alignment with who you are. You've been taught to go outside yourself for the right money strategy, to copy the expert, the mentor, the guru. The truth is the strategy you're looking for is already inside you, and in Human Design it's literally called your strategy.
I break down what strategy actually is, why your mind keeps talking you out of following it, and exactly how it works for each type: initiate and inform for Manifestors, respond for Generators, respond and inform for Manifesting Generators, wait for the invitation for Projectors, and wait a lunar cycle for Reflectors. Strategy and authority are your two golden bullets, and this episode is where you learn to read the money map no one ever taught you to read.
What You'll Learn:
- What your Human Design strategy actually is, and why it's the money map no one taught you to read
- The strategy for each of the types, and how each one becomes magnetic to money
- Why following your strategy can feel unsafe, and how to drop out of your head and into your body
- Why strategy is a felt experience you can already find evidence of in your past
- How strategy and authority work together as your simplest path to wealth (authority is next episode)
Chapters:
- 00:00 — The Money and Human Design series continues: did you take imperfect action?
- 02:21 — Why Human Design gets overcomplicated, and why you don't need the detail
- 04:50 — The strategy you're searching for is already inside you
- 06:41 — Why following your strategy feels unsafe: conditioning and the nervous system
- 07:58 — Strategy is a felt experience, not a thought
- 14:02 — Your strategy is the money map no one taught you to read
- 15:20 — Manifestors: initiate and inform
- 19:38 — Generators: respond to what lights you up
- 26:20 — Manifesting Generators: respond and inform
- 28:31 — Projectors: wait for the invitation, and why self-worth is the money move
- 35:43 — Reflectors: wait a lunar cycle, your 28-day money runway
- 39:17 — The train metaphor: how all the types work together
- 42:17 — Closing

28 September 2026, 10:00 pm - 1 hour 23 minutes#564 Matthew James Bailey on Human Design and AI: Can AI Read Your Soul?
Human Design and AI came together for me in this conversation with my friend Matthew James Bailey, who has worked in AI since 1996, wrote a playbook on ethics for AI, and spent time in ICU this year fighting for his life. We get into what AI can and can't do for your inner world, why Matthew calls it an artificial intellect, and what happened when he took Maggie for a test drive and asked her about his dream clients.
This one is for you if you use AI in your business and feel uneasy about how much power people are handing over to it. You'll hear why I see your Strategy and Authority as your built-in truth detector in a noisy world, what Matthew thinks the tech giants have forgotten, and a simple practice he shares to help you feel at home in yourself again.
What You'll Learn:
- Why Matthew calls AI an artificial intellect, and what that means for how much you trust it
- How your Human Design Strategy and Authority help you stay sovereign when everyone else hands their power to tech
- What Matthew found when he tested Maggie AI on his dream client
- Why Matthew believes ethics come down to energy and vibration, and whether people choose AI tools based on ethics
- The hero's journey in reverse, and why an awakening still comes with lessons to learn

24 September 2026, 10:00 pm - 25 minutes 8 seconds#563 How to Make Money According to Your Human Design Type
This is the start of my brand new series on money and Human Design, two of my all-time favourite things. If you've ever wondered why the money strategies everyone else swears by never quite work for you, this episode is your answer. The way you're designed to make money is specific to your Human Design type, and once you understand your own energy you stop forcing someone else's model and start magnetising what's already yours.
In this first episode we stay at the macro level: your type. I walk through how money comes differently to Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors and Reflectors, why gate 55 holds the key to money and energy, and how I made $2 million before I ever built a funnel by following my design instead of the rulebook. This is the foundation for the whole series, so start here.
What You'll Learn:
- Why there's no one-size-fits-all money strategy, and how your Human Design type changes the way money actually comes to you
- How each of the five types becomes magnetic to money (and what blocks each one)
- What gate 55 teaches about authenticity, energy and abundance
- How to use your strategy, signature and not-self theme as real-time money indicators
- The shift from doing to receiving, and why now is the time for it
Chapters:
00:00 - Dialling into authenticity for abundance and freedom
00:17 - The money and Human Design series begins
02:50 - What two months off taught me about receiving (and the 1.5M downloads we'd been missing)
06:07 - Why I finally committed to teaching money
06:56 - How I made $2 million before I ever built a funnel
08:29 - Gate 55: authenticity is the real money magnet
10:51 - Money and your Type (the macro level)
12:21 - Manifestors and money
14:04 - Generators and Manifesting Generators and money
17:20 - Projectors and money
19:25 - Reflectors and money
21:24 - Using strategy, signature and not-self theme as money indicators
24:31 - You are the authorityGet Started:

23 September 2026, 12:00 am - 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.
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_coachBig love,
Mxx

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.
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_coachBig love,
Mxx

These sessions are by application only and exclusively available inside the HDx Collective.

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.
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
Big love,
Mxx
