In this episode, we explore our relationship with the mind: how it shapes our sense of self, how we orient to the Human Design system, and our connections with others.

We discuss the pitfalls of mental over-intellectualization in the Human Design field and why embodiment is essential for real transformation.

What You’ll Hear About

Mind & Misinterpretation — Why the mind can distort truth and how dogmatic thinking can make any system cult-like.
Returning to the Body — Teresa and James share their own journeys from disembodiment to embodied authority.
Practicing with Integrity — Observe first, use Human Design second; let experience lead learning.
Relationships & Design — How to stay connected and compassionate without turning Human Design into a set of rules.
Deconditioning & Truth — The system can either trap you in the mind or bring you home to your body.
