The Pattern is the Portal: Midlife Magic; How Human Design Maps Your Inner GPS

 
Midlife, Magic & Mapping Your Inner GPS: The Secret to Flow, Intuition, and Alignment
What if midlife isn’t a crisis… but a cosmic upgrade?
In this personal and transformative episode, I unpack how I went from “just getting through” to truly tuning in — and how midlife gave me the clarity I never knew I needed. I share the real story of how Human Design and embodied pattern recognition cracked open a new level of confidence, clarity, and direction I didn’t even know was available.
You’ll hear:
How midlife can become your most powerful portal — if you learn to pay attention
Why certain people, environments, or opportunities deplete you (and what to do about it)
What Human Design taught me about my energy, purpose, and power as a Generator
The bodily and emotional cues we’ve been trained to ignore (and how to reclaim them)
How “doing the work” isn’t a punishment — it’s the life hack that speeds everything up
Why intuition isn’t woo — it’s wiring
My journey from career pivots to hosting healing events, and how I’m now building a group that merges Human Design with deep emotional recalibration
Whether you’re feeling stuck, burnt out, or unsure what’s next… this is your invitation to stop spiraling and start listening.
Because the truth is — your body has been whispering the whole time.And once you start to trust that inner compass? Everything changes.
🌀 Ready to feel lit up again? To reclaim your direction, your energy, and your magic?

It’s a Reclamation: How Human Design Helped Rewrite the Midlife Narrative (Part 2)

I didn’t burn it all down overnight — but something inside me had already started the fire.
In this kickoff episode, I’m opening up about what it really feels like to hit midlife and ask the question, “Is this all there is?” From the outside, everything looked “successful.” I had built a life full of roles, commitments, and accomplishments… but inside, it felt like I was disappearing.
The calendar was full.The expectations were heavy.And my soul was whispering, “There has to be more.”
When I discovered Human Design, it wasn’t just interesting — it was like being handed a mirror and finally seeing myself clearly. As a 1/3 Generator, I realized that my trial-and-error path wasn’t a flaw — it was my blueprint. Suddenly, all the pivots, all the burnout, all the almosts made sense.
In this episode, I’m sharing:
What no one tells you about outgrowing your own life
The moment I knew the life I built no longer fit
How Human Design gave me permission to stop doing it all
What it means to reclaim yourself when the old version of you starts to crack
Why I believe midlife isn’t a breakdown — it’s a becoming
How I started rebuilding with alignment, energy, and soul as my compass
Why I created The Experience Project — a space for women like us to do the same
This episode is for you if you’ve been feeling the nudge… but haven’t had the words.If you’ve been holding it all together… but secretly feel like you’re slipping.If you’re ready to stop spinning and start reclaiming your energy, your clarity, and your purpose.
This isn’t a crisis.This is your invitation to become someone even more true.

2024 Wrap-Up Manifesto, Alice in Wonderland, and How My Delusional Optimism Led to the Greatest Breakthroughs of the Year

In this introspective episode titled “2024 Wrap-Up Manifesto, Alice in Wonderland, and How My Delusional Thinking Led to the Greatest Breakthroughs of the Year,” Karen takes us down the rabbit hole of self-discovery and transformation. Through tales of emotional unblocking, nervous system recalibration, and career evolution, she unpacks the magic of embracing discomfort, navigating authenticity, and trusting life’s divine timing. From Human Design to subconscious reprogramming, Karen’s journey shows how “delusional” belief in unseen possibilities can spark real breakthroughs and a year of profound growth.
Rediscovering What You Truly Want (00:00–01:00)
Karen shares how she was stuck, questioning her life and career, until she finally asked herself: What do I truly want? Instead of settling for “just a paycheck,” she redefined success and took bold steps toward creating a career and life she loves.Takeaway: Give yourself permission to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what excites you. Don’t settle—clarity is where transformation starts.
It’s Never Too Late to Start Over (05:00–06:00)
While many peers were winding down their careers, Karen was ramping up. She reminds us that everyone’s timeline is different.Takeaway: Stop comparing your journey to others. Your timing is yours—honor it.
Your Body Knows the Truth (20:00–22:00)
Karen learned to listen to her nervous system—words like “I should,” “I better,” and “I have to” were signs she was in fight-or-flight mode.Takeaway: When those phrases creep in, ask yourself: Why do I feel this way? Then prioritize rest, breathing, or simply doing less.
Trapped Emotions Manifest Physically (24:00–25:00)
Unprocessed emotions build up, often showing as tension, pain, or anxiety. Karen realized her teeth grinding and constant high energy weren’t “normal” but signals from her body to slow down.Takeaway: Check in with your body—tight jaws, clenched fists, or even chronic aches might be your emotions asking for attention.
Stop Choosing “Comfortable Misery” (33:00–34:00)
Karen explains how we often cling to what’s familiar—even if it’s unfulfilling—because it feels safer than risking the unknown.Takeaway: Ask yourself: Am I holding onto something because it’s familiar, or because it’s truly good for me? Choose the unfamiliar if it aligns with your values and dreams.
The Relationship Between Love and Money (37:00–39:00)
Karen explores the link between scarcity in money and love, noting that how we show up in one area often mirrors the other.Takeaway: Reflect on where you might be accepting less than you deserve—whether in relationships or finances. Start setting higher standards in both.
Human Design as a Blueprint for Self-Understanding (45:00–47:00)
Discovering Human Design was life-changing for Karen. It helped her understand her energy (as a Generator) and gave her tools to align with her purpose.Takeaway: Explore your Human Design. It’s a unique roadmap to your authentic self—helping you focus on what truly lights you up.
Deconditioning and Letting Go (51:00–52:00)
Karen talks about the power of shedding subconscious beliefs that keep us small. By letting go, she created space for authenticity and abundance.Takeaway: Ask: What beliefs are holding me back? Then actively challenge and rewrite those narratives.
Make Space for What’s Next (50:00–51:00)
Clearing out her physical and mental clutter helped Karen open up to new opportunities and clarity.Takeaway: Start small—organize your closet, clean a drawer, or tackle one lingering task. Clearing space in your environment often clears your mind too.
Trust the Bigger Plan (44:00–46:00)
Karen leaned into her faith, trusting that every challenge and insight was divinely ordered. This trust gave her peace and clarity.Takeaway: Trust that where you are is exactly where you’re meant to be. Look for lessons in the pauses and embrace the process.
 
Final Thoughts from Karen
Karen’s journey is a reminder that life is about evolution, not perfection. It’s okay to pivot, to dig deeper, and to dream of what’s possible—even when it feels uncertain. Her message is simple: trust yourself, listen to your body, and don’t be afraid to go all in on the life you deserve.
