In 2022, I was at a low point.
After 2 years of an overstuffed schedule of therapy and copywriting amid global suffering, my chronic pain was escalating to the point it couldn't be relieved by pain meds.
My body was literally screaming at me to "stop."
I listened. I took a 2-month sabbatical that summer, an extended break from holding space for others, sitting at a desk, using an alarm clock, and worrying if it'd been too long since my last shower.
Looking back now, it was a very much a medical leave, allowing my body to heal and rest in ways that had never been possible before.
Vowing never to get back to that place again (while also surrendering to the unpredictable nature that is chronic pain), I knew that something had to shift in how I was doing business.
So, I did what any witchy therapist would do: I got a Human Design reading. 🙃
The reading was insightful, and I wish I could say that once I understood my Human Design, it was all sunshine and rainbows — my hormonal acne was cured, I never doubted myself ever again, and my tea was always at the right temperature, no matter how long I forgot about it in the microwave.
That was not the case. 😆
But what Human Design did give me was a deeper understanding of myself, a starting point to try something new.
Most importantly, it was an invitation to practice more softness and joy, a way that didn’t feel like I had to fight my body every moment of the day.
Years later, it remains a foundational compass for how I run my business (and life).
So, that’s why, when I crossed paths with Jes Lock earlier this year, I had to bring her in for a special workshop, just for The Weekly Wordsmith community (that's you!).
