Becoming Full of Piss & Vinegar with Kehla G

Becoming Full of Piss & Vinegar with Kehla G

What happens when you stop filling yourself with the world’s noise and start listening to your own design? In this episode, I sit down with Kehla G, a Human Design and Gene Keys business mentor who went from competitive rugby athlete to online coach, navigating the Saturn return shift from body to mind with radical self-awareness. In this episode we explore: * Kehla’s journey from elite athlete to Human Design mentor and the Saturn return pivot from a body-focused career as a PE teacher to where she is now * How spirituality and embodiment practices are closer than we think; and why grounding into your body is essential for avoiding spiritual bypassing and being “away with the fairies” * The power of open throat energy: saying what everyone’s thinking, and how AI can help you externalise your process and find your own voice * Why being “full of yourself” means subtracting the world’s conditioning instead of adding more strategies * The nuances of sacral response: moving beyond “f**k yes or f**k no” to micro-yeses that build trust * Expression beyond words: pre-cognition, reading the room, and how childhood survival skills shape our gifts * Creating spaciousness by deleting social media, sitting with loneliness, and discovering what you’re actually full of when you’re being yourself This conversation is for you if: * You’re an entrepreneur who feels like you’re on the edge or ahead of your time * You have an “interesting relationship” with your body and are seeking grounding practices * You’re bored of being full of everyone else’s strategies and want to orient yourself in your own design * You struggle with open centres (especially throat, head, or G centre) and need to understand how to work with the conditioning * You’re navigating the tension between doing less and feeling isolated, or between specificity and allowing surprise * You want to understand how Human Design and Gene Keys can create sustainable business infrastructure, not just better messaging. Meet Kehla G: Kehla G is a human design, gene keys, and AI business mentor based in Victoria, BC, Canada. A 6/2 sacral generator, Kehla supports entrepreneurs in building sustainable businesses by treating them like ecosystems—helping clients orient themselves through their unique design rather than chasing the next strategy. A former elite rugby athlete (2003-2018) and personal trainer turned online coach, Kehla experienced a Saturn return pivot from body to mind that shaped her approach to integrating embodiment with business. She’s the host of Built for the Edge [https://podfollow.com/kehla-g-living-in-fierce-alignment/episode/04f7bc7b5b1c38860ded8823c004346caabd79d3/view], [https://podfollow.com/kehla-g-living-in-fierce-alignment/episode/04f7bc7b5b1c38860ded8823c004346caabd79d3/view] a top 2% podcast with over 500 episodes exploring entrepreneurship, spirituality, and human design.

Becoming Full of Embodied Intuition with Jessie Eccles

[Just a heads-up, the video for this episode was corrupt, but I was able to edit together something that I was happy with from back up audio files.] Episode 19: The Astrologer Who Turned Down Double Her Salary to Trust Herself What does it actually mean to trust yourself? Not conceptually, but as a lived, embodied practice? In this episode, we dive into the messy, beautiful process of reclaiming your authority: the moment you realise you’ve been outsourcing your decisions, the terror of saying no when everything in your conditioning screams yes, and what happens when you finally stop performing and start listening to your body. We explore the Leo-Aquarius axis, the myth of the isolated family unit, why we’re all drowning trying to save each other, and how your core wound might just be your greatest gift. In this episode we explore: • The Leo-Aquarius axis and what it means for the collective as we move into the Aquarian age • Why “belonging” doesn’t mean conforming; it means being yourself within community • The myth of the nuclear family and why we’re all “drowning trying to save each other” • How motherhood became Jessie’s gateway to trusting her intuition unconditionally • Gate 29 and the journey from saying yes to everything to honouring when cycles are complete • The difference between the gift of commitment and the shadow of half-heartedness (and knowing when it’s time to let go) • Why your core wound is your greatest gift This conversation is for you if: - You’re navigating your Saturn return or a major life transition - You struggle with saying no (or saying yes to the wrong things) - You’re questioning the traditional paths you were told to follow - You want to understand the Leo-Aquarius energy shaping our collective future - You’re a parent trying to find your village in a world of isolated family units - You’re learning to trust your body and intuition over external authority - You are a Sag rising, or have strong Sag, Leo, or Aquarius placements, are a 6/2 or 5/2 Profile. - You have ever struggled with commitment / or bi passing emotions Meet Jessie Eccles: Jessie Eccles is an astrologer, Human Design reader, and teacher who helps people understand their personal timing, patterns, and decision-making so they can live and work in a way that actually fits their life.After leaving a corporate career during early motherhood, she built an business centered around self-trust, cyclical living, and redefining success outside of productivity culture.
