I never thought I’d get divorced.
Let alone TWICE.
It seemed really complicated and daunting, but when I started to understand…like, really understand that the cards are archetypes and that they are used to tell a story, something clicked. Before I became a counsellor, I was high school English teacher for eight years. I loved teaching the mechanics of writing and the creative process, but the real joy of my work as a teacher stemmed from helping young people develop their metacognition; it’s so cool to see their light bulbs go off.
As a counsellor, Narrative Therapy is an important component of my practice. You can tell someone the facts over and over again and they likely won’t retain them. But tell them a compelling story to illustrate a point and it’s likely they won’t forget. Human beings find meaning through story.
I first learned about Human Design in November 2021. I was listening to a manifestation podcast and one of the guests was a Human Design practitioner. I was riveted. I quickly discovered that I am a 4/6 Manifestor with an Emotional Authority, but the only thing I needed at that time to take major steps forward was the knowledge that my Strategy is ti inform. At the time, I was doing a lot of Lives on social media but I was holding back and felt awkward.
Learning that I’m supposed to inform released me from my Imposter Syndrome and gave me the permission to do what I want…and what I want to do is this.
I now live by my Human Design and my life keeps becoming more and more seamless. I received the download to merge the Tarot with Human Design in November 2023 and now, here we are. I’m really happy that you’re here, too.
