Align with Alice: Human Design Podcast

054 | Breaking free from the comparison trap: Oubaitori, Karma and Human Design

Comparison is wired into us earlier than we think....and in this episode, I'm exploring where it starts, why it's so hard to shake, and the tools I return to when I catch myself in the trap: Oubaitori..the Japanese concept that each of us, like cherry, plum, apricot and peach blossoms on our own timing and season. Prarabdha karma...the idea that we each come into this lifetime with our own allotted lessons and experiences to move through, meaning someone else's apparent ease is simply a different soul curriculum, not evidence that you're behind. Human Design... and how understanding your design makes comparison not just unhelpful, but structurally meaningless. A Projector with an undefined Sacral was never supposed to match the output of a Generator. A 3 line was never supposed to learn the way a 1 line does.

053 | Mars square pluto: Navigating a pressure cooker week

This week has been a strange one…and if you've been feeling it too, you're not imagining it. In this episode I share honestly about the dense, foggy energy that's been moving through me this week, and the astrology behind it: Mars in Taurus squaring Pluto in Aquarius, which peaked on May 26th. We explore what happens when the drive to do, create and act comes up against intensity, shadow and transformation….and how that tension can eventually become the very catalyst that pushes us through. This episode is a personal one, but I hope it gives language to something you might have been feeling too but couldn't quite name.

052 | Gate 8 Human Design: The Gate of Contribution

This week the Sun is moving through Gate 8 in Human Design — The Gate of Contribution — and I wanted to spend some time exploring and reflecting on this energy.  In this episode, I explore the themes of Gate 8, the relationship between contribution and authenticity, the fear of being misunderstood, and the pressure many of us feel to soften or suppress what makes us unique in order to belong. I also reflect on imitation, originality, integrity and shadow work, and share some of the ways this energy has been showing up in my own life lately. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your truth, your creativity and the unique frequency you are here to offer to the world.

051 | Human Design Authority in Motherhood: Reclaiming Your Mother's Instinct and Releasing Comparison

Do you find yourself questioning your instincts, comparing the way you mother to others, or wondering why what works for everyone else just doesn't seem to work for you? In this episode, we explore why so many mothers struggle to trust themselves — and why comparison and self-doubt are symptoms of something much deeper: a disconnection from self. Drawing on years of experience as a nurse and midwife, and through the lens of Human Design, I explore how your inner authority — your body's unique decision-making system — can help you filter out the noise of modern motherhood and find your way back to your own knowing. We cover every Human Design authority type through the lens of motherhood: Sacral, Emotional, Splenic, Self-Projected, Mental, Ego and Lunar — with real examples of what trusting your authority actually looks like in the day-to-day of mothering. If you've ever been told to trust your instincts but had no idea how, this episode is for you.

050 | MOON DIARIES: Scorpio Full Moon & the Scorpio-Taurus axis

Join me in this episode where I share some reflections of this recent full moon in Scorpio.  I talk about the patterns I’ve been noticing in my life around speaking up, holding back, and the small moments where I soften my truth to keep the peace. And how, through the lens of the Scorpio–Taurus axis in my own chart, I’m beginning to see this not as isolated moments, but as a deeper pattern of who I am and how I relate to others. I also share something I’ve been quietly working on...with the tides...Hand-pressed seaweed artworks that invite people to reconnect with the rhythms of the ocean, the beauty found in the most unexpected places and the wisdom of living with the tides.
