Kiera knows herself more than so many people I know, and I truly believe a lot of it has to do with diving deep into Human Design and her chart. In this episode, we discuss Human Design in great length as well as so many other topics such as akashic records, looking at the impact of how we spend our time, non-linear career paths, and...

Shake Pryzby and I go into what it's like to be a stock trader on Wall Street to becoming full-time self employed after taking the leap of faith.
