In today's re-release episode, Lindsey is talking with sustainability expert, Ashlee Piper, about the intersectionality of eco-friendliness and financial self-care.

52. Human Design: Living in Alignment with Maggie Hilpisch

In this episode of Financial Self-Care, Financial Therapist Lindsey sits down with Maggie Hilpisch to talk all things Human Design. Human Design is a self-awareness system that combines astrology, the chakra system, the I Ching, and quantum physics to reveal your unique energetic blueprint. It helps you understand your type, strategy, and profile so you can make aligned decisions and live with more ease and authenticity. We explore what Human Design really is, how the different energy types and profiles work, and how understanding your unique blueprint can help you live a life that feels more aligned, authentic, and easeful. Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or you’ve already deep-dove into your chart, this conversation will help you see how your design can support your relationships, work, money habits, and overall well-being. This is a grounding, validating episode filled with reminders that you’re not meant to operate like everyone else — and that alignment is often the key to both emotional and financial self-care. What You’ll Learn: * What Human Design is and why so many people find it transformative * The 5 Human Design energy types — and how each one is built to move through the world * How your Human Design profile shapes your strengths, communication, and purpose * How understanding your design can help you make decisions with more confidence and less burnout * Ways Human Design can support your money habits, career direction, and self-trust * How to use Human Design for more aligned living, emotional health, and financial self-care Maggie Hilpisch is a human design strategist who helps people move beyond self-doubt and overthinking to create meaningful change in their lives. She blends human design and subconscious re-patterning to help clients learn to trust themselves again, make braver and more aligned choices in their lives, and expand their beliefs of what’s possible for them. Since 2020, Maggie has helped hundreds of clients transform their relationships with themselves and others. Her approach bridges spiritual wisdom with real-world application, and clients describe working with Maggie as "life-changing" and like "coming home to themselves". Through their work together, her clients move through threshold moments both personally and professionally and experience deeper fulfillment and connections in their relationships, work, and life.
