I (Jenna) am officially a certified level 1 Human Design reader, and what better way to share this with you than to use Lauren as the guinea pig!? HA! Tune in as we discuss the different aspects of Lauren's HD - what makes her unique, how she should be using her energy, and where conditioning has led to her burying her true gifts under layers of guilt and shame because she's "different" from the rest of the world. What I love most about Human Design is that it's proof that truth is subjective. W...

There’s Diet Culture’s definition of “normal” eating...and then there’s NORMAL eating. In simple terms, “normal eating” is when you’re not obsessing, forcing, or overthinking food. Eating isn’t black and white like Diet Culture wants us to believe. There’s not a set amount of calories, macros, servings, portion sizes, etc. that you “SHOULD” be eating each day. “Normal” eaters don’t even have the word “should” in their vocabulary when it comes to food. NORMAL is defined differently for every sing...
