Moving with the Moon: What the Moon Can Teach Us About Life, Business & Letting Go

What if the most powerful thing you could do right now… was pause? In this today's conversation, a clinical EFT practitioner, moonologer, nervous system facilitator, Georgie Hope and Ann Marie share a beautiful exploration of what happens when we stop overriding the body, stop forcing ourselves into systems that were never designed for us, and begin listening to the wisdom that has been there all along. In this episode, we explore The Pause — not as giving up, but as a sacred space for integration, discernment and truth. Georgie shares how the pauses in her life changed everything: leaving a job that wasn’t aligned, letting go of businesses that no longer fit, listening to her body after pregnancy, and learning to parent her children through the lens of their inherent design. Georgie shares her own journey through disordered eating, IBS, emotional override, motherhood, grief, business evolution, and learning to trust the messages her body was giving her. Georgie shares how Human Design gave her a new lens to work with her daughter who wasn’t fitting into the school system’s expectations. Rather than seeing her child as “wrong,” she began to understand her as uniquely designed. That awareness changed the way she parented, the way she supported her family’s rhythms, and the way she trusted her own inner knowing. We also dive into the phases of the moon — not just as something mystical in the sky, but as a living rhythm that mirrors the cycles already moving through our bodies, businesses, relationships and lives. Georgie explains how the dark moon invites stillness, the new moon supports intention, the full moon brings illumination, and the waning moon helps us release what no longer serves. In this episode, we explore: * Why “The Pause” is often where the deepest transformation begins * How Georgie learned to trust the messages coming from her body * The connection between disordered eating, emotional override and nervous system disconnection * How Human Design changed the way Georgie parented her children * Why understanding your child’s inherent design can create more compassion, ease and trust in family life * How the phases of the moon can support emotional release, business planning and life rhythm * The dark moon as a sacred space for stillness, integration and clearing * How to start working with the moon in a simple, grounded way * Why cyclical living can help us do life and business better This episode is for you if… You’ve been pushing, forcing, overthinking or trying to move at a pace that no longer feels right. It’s for you if you’re in a season of life or business where something is asking to be paused, released, reimagined or rebuilt. And it’s especially for you if you’re ready to stop seeing your sensitivity, your cycles, your body, your children or your timing as problems to fix — and start understanding them as wisdom to work with.

The Pause Before the Pivot

In this personal episode, Ann Marie shares the story of her realization of just how expensive compromise can be. She shares powerful reflections on intuition, compromise, silence, and the importance of creating intentional space to hear your inner wisdom. Ann Marie shares the story of a beautiful beachside property that felt undeniably meant for her, the ways she overrode her heart with logic, and the hard lessons that have followed: when we make decisions from our head instead of our heart, we often create lives that look good on paper but do not feel right in our body. This deeply personal episode is an invitation to pause. To step away from the noise. To stop forcing. To stop compromising - but rather to listen for what your heart has been trying to tell you. In it, Ann Marie share: * How noise, busyness, and overstimulation can dysregulate the nervous system * Why time away can offer clarity, healing, and perspective * The difference between making decisions from your head versus your heart * Her experience leaving behind a business that no longer aligned * The intuitive messages that guided her back toward painting, creativity, the beach, and community * Her expensive lesson of compromise - and what happens when we settle for less than what we truly want * Why creating silence and space is essential if you want to hear your intuition * The importance of intentional pauses during seasons of transition and uncertainty * How stillness, meditation, nature, and time alone can reconnect you to your truth * Why the most wildly beautiful life is created through deliberate, aligned choices You do not need to have all the answers immediately. Sometimes the next right step is not more doing, more forcing, or more overthinking. Sometimes what you need most is space. A pause. A moment to step away from the noise and reconnect to the subtle whispers of your heart. If you would like to go deeper, you're invited on a journey back to your heart through your inner wisdom and connection to you inherent design.

Permission to be me - through the Human Design Lens

What if “finding yourself” isn’t about fixing anything… it’s about finally understanding the design you came here with?

You’ll hear why this work creates the kind of permission that changes everything - the permission to stop forcing, stop performing and start living in a way that actually fits you. Ann Marie also shares a real-life moment from the tennis court that sparked a deeper reflection on parenting, conditioning, and the hidden stories we absorb in our first years of life - and how awareness gives us choice. * Why your blueprint can become a compass for self-trust and self-acceptance * The “blank canvas” moment that began Ann Marie’s deconditioning journey (moving from the US to Australia in 2004) * How early conditioning forms your default patterns (and why this isn’t your fault) * The invitation to suspend judgment and explore new ways of understanding yourself * A walkthrough of how to access your RAV Mandala / Human Design BodyGraph * The Human Design basics: Type, Strategy, Authority, Profile * The 5 energy types and how each one is designed to thrive: * Generator (sustainable energy + satisfaction / frustration) * Manifesting Generator (multi-passionate speed + pivoting without burnout) * Manifestor (initiator energy + peace / anger + the power of informing) * Projector (guidance energy + deep rest + waiting for the invitation) * Reflector (mirror of the environment + 28-day clarity + sensitivity) * What your Profile means (your life path archetype) — and why knowing yours can feel like a permission slip You’re joining at the beginning of a year-long Thriving Through Connection unfolding: Season 1: Permission to Be Me * March: Understanding your blueprint foundations * April: The pause + awareness (becoming the observer) * May: Breath as your superpower (nervous system regulation) * June: Connecting to the layers of your being (integration + embodiment) …and it all builds from there.

Trust the Breadcrumbs: The Season You Choose Differently

Trust the Breadcrumbs: The Season You Choose Differently Season 2 begins with a line in the sand. In this episode, I share the decision that is reshaping my life - and invite you to make your own. For years, I made powerful moves.  Strategic moves. Logical moves. Moves that looked good on paper.  But this season? I’m choosing differently. I am no longer making decisions from my head over my heart. This episode is about trusting the breadcrumbs - the whispers, the nudges, the synchronicities, the subtle body responses that are constantly guiding you. Most of us override them. We rationalize them away. We talk ourselves out of them. But what if those breadcrumbs are the map? Inside this episode, we explore: * Why heart over head changes everything * What it really means to draw a “line in the sand” * How conditioning keeps you looping in familiar (but misaligned) paths * Why you don’t need to know your whole life plan to move forward * The five pillars of creating a wildly beautiful life * How Human Design, Gene Keys, and astrology give you permission to be who you are * Why emotional regulation is non-negotiable for aligned living * How to follow intuition without abandoning strategy This season is about Soul Meeting Strategy. It’s about living lit up instead of living on autopilot. It’s about remembering that you have choice - every single day to create YOUR wildly beautiful life. It’s about remembering that you don't need anyone else's permission... And that no one is going to do it for you.

Your Heart Knows the Way: Your Wildly Beautiful Life Begins Here

Welcome to The Wildly Beautiful Life Podcast. In this relaunch trailer, Ann Marie Grace shares why she closed the chapter on Breaking Free, Coming Back to Me and what this next evolution is really about: creating a life that is aligned, intentional, heart-led, and deeply fulfilling — not perfect, but true. After a mid-year sabbatical, Ann Marie realised she had still been living from old conditioning around productivity, achievement, and proving her worth. Slowing down, travelling alone, painting, and reconnecting to her intuition helped her strip back the noise and return to what matters: living from the heart. This episode is your invitation to do the same. In this episode, Ann Marie explores: * Why she paused the original podcast and what the new season will focus on * How we’re all manifesting our lives — consciously or unconsciously * Misalignment signals (anxiety, frustration, burnout, resentment, “meh”) * Why awareness + intention + clarity + courageous action are the real keys to change * How to stop accepting “this is just how I am” and open to possibility * Why strategy must follow what's baked in the heart — not the other way around Ann Marie shares a heart wisdom transmission received during her sabbatical. You’ll be guided through a grounding breath practice, nervous system regulation, visualisation of your energy centers, and a connection to the light in your heart — the spark of your intuition and inner knowing. This transmission is an anchor for anyone wanting to reconnect with their inner wisdom, soften their nervous system, and make decisions from a place of truth rather than fear or conditioning. You’ll walk away from this episode with: * A deeper understanding of how to listen to your intuition * A practical breathing pattern to regulate your nervous system * A reminder that your joy, clarity, and alignment are not luxuries - they’re your compass * Permission to create a life that lights you up, even if it means choosing the unconventional path * The knowing that you always have a choice: the hard way (ego) or the easy way (connection, trust, surrender) You're also invited to a free live masterclass, “The Three Keys to Manifesting Your Wildly Beautiful Life” happening on: December 3rd - 9am Melbourne / Dec 2nd - 5pm US East Coast / 10pm London Join via the homepage: annmariegrace.com And if you haven’t yet downloaded your free Blueprint (Align & Shine Blueprint Overview), you can get it at: annmariegrace.com/unique The podcast officially returns in February 2026, with solo episodes, conversations, and deeper teachings on intuition, alignment, Human Design, Gene Keys, and the work of creating a wildly beautiful life from the inside out.
