Intuition vs Overthinking: How to Tell Which One Is Actually Leading

Intuition vs Overthinking: How to Tell Which One Is Actually Leading

our intuition has probably been talking to you for years. The question is whether your mind has been loud enough to drown it out. In this episode I take you through the business I built from panic rather than clarity, the signs I overrode, and what finally shifted when I started listening to my body instead of my mind. This is month one of Project Me, my twelve month reconnection experiment, and I'm beginning with intuition because everything else follows from it. * The cafe plan, the rejection, and the redirection I could not see at the time * How lack and desperation quietly hijacked something I genuinely cared about * Recognising freeze as my stress response and what it does to clarity * The difference between a decision that stretches you and one that panics you * Why capacity has to be built before you can hold what you are asking for * How breathwork became the practice that changed my reality * Why you usually already know the answer before you go looking for it If this one lands somewhere in your body, I go deeper on all of it in my newsletter, Magnetic Musings.

Lukewarm vs Fiery: Which Version of Yourself Are You Actually Living As?

You can be happy and grateful and still feel like a lukewarm version of yourself. In this episode I'm starting Project Me, my twelve-month experiment in getting to know who I actually am, and catching all the small ways I'd been settling on autopilot without even noticing. * What Project Me is, and why it goes deeper than a glow up * Starting small with my pyjamas, and why where you begin matters * The tattoos I'm removing, and the people-pleasing story behind one of them * The fawn response, and how it quietly shapes everyday choices * The honest conversation with my hairdresser, and what putting myself first really asked of me * Using my Human Design and the astrological seasons to pace the whole thing If you'd like to follow along as Project Me unfolds, come and join me on my newsletter, Magnetic Musings here.

Self-Sabotage in Disguise: What Two Weeks in a Funk Taught Me About Numbing Out

I spent two weeks quietly escaping my own life and calling it rest. This episode is the honest version of what that funk actually was, how I caught it, and the somatic practices I used to come back to myself without bypassing the hard feelings. In this episode: * Why genuine rest and numbing out can look identical from the outside * How my luteal phase tipped me into a low patch, and how I work with my cycle now * The journaling process I use to get to what is really going on * Guilt versus shame, and how to tell them apart in the body * The breathwork practice that moved guilt out of my chest * Why I am stepping back from Human Design and astrology to focus on breathwork If you want the in-between version of all of this as I move through my breathwork training, come follow along in my newsletter, Magnetic Musings [https://lbaldwin.myflodesk.com/subscribe].

The Slow Build: What The Devil Wears Prada 2 Taught Me About Staying the Course

This episode started with The Devil Wears Prada 2 and ended up somewhere much more personal. Laura unpacks what the film's message about human creativity and effort has to do with the woman who is in the middle of building something, and why the boring days are not the obstacle standing between her and the vision but the whole point of getting there. What's covered: ✨ What The Devil Wears Prada 2 got right about creativity, effort, and what actually gives things their value in an age of AI ✨ The gap between the big vision and the reality of what it takes to show up and bring it to life ✨ Why most people quit in the messy middle and what it genuinely takes to stay the course ✨ Creating from a place of alignment versus chasing external validation and how to start telling the difference in your own body ✨ What Human Design not-self behaviours can show you about the patterns running underneath your decisions ✨ Laura's honest reflection on where she is in her own process right now, and why she is not rushing it If the Human Design thread in today's episode landed for you, a Decoded session is a good next step.

Morning Routine, Going Home & Why I Revert to Old Patterns Every Time

It's been a few weeks because I was back in my hometown for a family wedding, and this episode is the honest reflection that came out of it. Losing my routine for five days reminded me just how much my morning practice holds me together. And being back around family reminded me how easy it is to slip into an older version of yourself, even when you've done a lot of work on that. In this episode: * Why going home feels so tiring, even when you love it, and what your morning routine actually does for your nervous system * Not drinking at a family wedding for the first time, the inner narrative that followed and how I worked through it * Why we revert to old patterns around people who've known us our whole lives and why that's okay * How breathwork helps you move through discomfort without having to think your way out of it * Celebrating your friends' wins without envy and what it means if you can't yet * The uncomfortable in-between phase of growth, the loud projector mind, and why staying in the learning is the work right now If this episode brought something up and you're ready to go deeper into your own blueprint, I work 1:1 through Decoded — Human Design and Astrology sessions designed to help you understand your energy and stop working against yourself. → baldwin.com/decodedsession
