Ep.79 | Gene Keys; the Self-Discovery System You’re Probably Overlooking w/ Maria Henning, Gene Keys Expert

If you asked us which system we like more, Human Design or Gene Keys, I don’t think we could give you an answer. Gene Keys is like the intense & mystical sister to Human Design; complex in theory, yet simple to sit with.
I, myself (Mariah) have been exploring Gene Keys for a few years now, and have become fascinated with it, especially the way that it breaks things down into different levels of frequency. Learning more about your profile, your core wound, your life’s path, and how you’re meant to attract people into your life, is just the tip of the iceberg.
Which is why we’re so stoked to have Gene Keys expert, Maria Henning on the podcast. Maria has a gift of being able to explain the complexities of the Gene Keys in a way that feels more tangible & practical than most.
Her knowledge & passion for this system is truly inspiring, and I bet if you didn’t know about Gene Keys until this episode, you’re gonna be running to grab your profile before the conversation ends.
This is a good one my friends, we hope you enjoy! ☺️
IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:
➡️ Maria’s journey of exploring Human Design & Gene Keys
➡️ What are the Gene Keys?
➡️ How Gene Keys connects with Human Design
➡️ Where to get your free profile
➡️ Using Gene Keys as a tool for self-reflection
➡️ Our favorite aspect of the Gene Keys
➡️ How/where to get started when looking at your own profile
➡️ An overview of the different sequences & what they mean
➡️ Examples of how to interpret & integrate the information

Ep.78 | Tapping into Unlimited Possibilities w/ Natashia Mack, Hot Mess Medium & Mentor

If you’ve ever been in a season of business where you find yourself following everyone else’s advice over your own, this episode is for you!
Natashia’s journey of being an entrepreneur in this online space is one that a LOT of us can resonate with. A little over a year ago, she found herself stuck, lost, and completely out of love with her business (not an ideal place to be when you work for yourself lol).
But it was from that place that she was truly able to learn how to come home to herself; which included getting clear on her mission & vision, and gaining confidence in how she shows up in the world.
What we love so much about Natashia is that she’s willing to be super transparent, while laughing & dropping nuggets of wisdom along the way.
If you’re looking for a conversation that’s going to inspire you to come back to YOU, regardless of how that path looks, you’re going to love this episode!
Enjoy! ☺️

➡️ Where to start when you’re feeling stuck

➡️ Examples of how one opportunity leads to another

➡️ Being open to other possibilities & building a business that feels fun for you, regardless of how it looks to other people
