In this week’s episode, I’m talking to Human Design reader and intuitive healer, Dayna Faye, for an incredible conversation about discovering our unique energetic blueprint, and why truly understanding our own natural design is the key to attracting more ease, flow, and aligned opportunities into our lives… We’re getting into: * What Human Design actually is (and why it’s not just another personality test) * The five main Human Design energy types - Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector & Reflector, how to know which one you are, and what it means for you * Why, and how, learning to work with your design brings more ease, freedom, and alignment * How understanding your chart can help you fully understand yourself, release self-judgment and finally feel “enough” exactly as you are * The 2027 energetic shift and what it means for all of us And so much more! Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or already down the rabbit hole, this episode will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and finally understanding all the incredible and unique things that make you, YOU. This was so much fun to record, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did…until next time, Muses! X PS: If you don’t already have your chart you can download it for free at the link above!

38: Real talk: How a podcast saved my life...and how to handle the plot twist you never saw coming

Sometimes losing something… is the beginning of everything. This is a love letter to all the versions of us who have ever had to find a reason to keep going…and to you, if you’re standing on the edge of your new beginning. Hi Muses, welcome back to a brand new season of Muse Yourself. This episode is a little different…as we kick off a new season and I know so many gorgeous new souls have joined us, I really wanted to take you back to the beginning - before the podcast, before this amazing community - and share the story of how Muse Yourself really began. This is a story I’ve never fully shared before, but it’s one that changed everything for me. And if you’ve ever felt scared of what’s next, I hope this episode can also serve as a loving reminder that you don’t have to wait for everything to fall apart before you can change direction. You don’t have to wait for something to end, before you have permission to create a new beginning…and you don’t ever need permission to choose yourself. Sometimes life is about letting the magic lead…taking the leap, and trusting that you’ll be caught. Thank you so much for being in my world X RESOURCES + LINKS: * GET ON MY VIP LIST!

37. Living in Alignment: Creating a Life That Feels Unapologetically Yours

“The universe will never give you peace in something you’re not meant to settle in.” This week’s Monday Muse is a reminder to check in with yourself as we step into the final months of 2025… If you’ve been feeling uneasy, restless, or out of alignment, consider this an invitation to start listening to your own voice, honouring your own needs, and taking back your time and energy before the year ends. Change isn’t easy…but staying stuck in a life that doesn’t feel like yours is so much harder.

36. How to Trust the Process When You Don’t Know What’s Next

If you’re feeling stuck in that “in-between” stage of life where things feel a little messy, uncertain, or completely out of your control, you’re not alone. In this episode of Muse Yourself, I’m getting into what it really means to trust the journey when the next step isn’t clear. If you’re navigating uncertainty, waiting for clarity, or wondering how to keep moving forward when nothing feels certain, I hope this conversation will help you find peace in the process. You’ll learn: * What “trust the process” really means (and why it’s so hard to do). * Why going into ‘figuring it out’ mode only creates more noise and fear * Practical ways to stay grounded when life feels uncertain. * How to embrace the messy middle as part of your transformation. * Mindset shifts that help you stop resisting and start trusting. This episode is for anyone who’s in a transition, feels lost or behind, or simply wants to remember that uncertainty can still lead to growth, clarity, and purpose.

35. How to escape corporate burnout and start over abroad: A radical life reinvention with Maddy Reynolds

What if you walked away from it all? The job, the salary, the prestige…to chase a life that actually felt like your own? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Maddy Reynolds, a professional trail runner who left her high-flying career at Goldman Sachs in Sydney and moved to the French Alps to pursue her athletic dreams. We dive into her journey of walking away from a life that looked perfect on paper, overcoming societal expectations, and building a radically different life rooted in purpose, presence, and passion. TOPICS WE COVER: * Why Maddy left a “dream job” in finance to chase something more meaningful * The identity crisis that comes with starting over abroad * The challenges (and gifts) of living in a new country and culture * Her near-death rafting accident and how it reshaped her perspective * Reclaiming your narrative around success, purpose, and identity * The power of following your intuition—even when it makes no sense on paper * What it really means to build a life that truly feels like yours And SO much more! This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked: Is this it? If you’ve felt the nudge to start over, crave more freedom, or you’ve been looking for permission to completely reinvent your life, and your definition of success, this conversation is for you. Until next time X PS: It would mean the absolute world to me if you would share this episode with one other person you think would love it!
