We all agree that finding out more about how we're meant to operate in the world has helped our mental health. If you don't know what human design is, I highly recommend finding out yours! I use the MyHumanDesign app. You can also find it on the Jovian Archive website or mybodygraph.com . It truly has been a key for a lot of people in learning to live their best life and for me in learning to love myself for who I am and appreciate the unique way that I operate. It's a long episode! Almost 2 hours. So buckle up! And/or spread it out over a few days.
