Twenty years ago, I walked out of a weekend seminar a completely different woman. I had no idea that my Saturn return journey would take me from a bathroom floor crying over a guy who kept leaving, to building a global community of thousands. But here's what nobody tells you about transformation work: the healing isn't the destination.

We're living through a moment that astrologers are calling a reconfiguration of our civilization. The old systems are crumbling. And while the world feels heavy right now, I believe we're standing at the threshold of our Creative Revolution. Not someday when we're healed enough or ready enough, but right now, messy and alive and here.

For eight years, the Wild Ones has been a space for self-expression and community. But I've been feeling this itch, this pull toward something deeper. And this month, I finally named it. My real mission has always been helping wild ones build things that create change in the world. The film festivals. The gardens. The podcasts. The movements. The things that matter.

So we're deepening. The Wild Ones is shifting from monthly moon cycles to seasonal three-month containers, moving through earth, air, water, and fire. More space. More breath. More room for you to actually create the thing your heart is calling you to build. This episode is my confession, my declaration, and your invitation to stop waiting for permission.

Thank you for listening! Remember to keep exploring, stay curious, and embrace your wild, beautiful self. ✨

If you’ve ever wondered what your soul is really here to do… this episode is for you.

Today on Enter the Portal, I sit down with Gene Keys guide and Human Design teacher Maria Henning to explore the power of self-awareness, spiritual evolution, and decoding your personal energetic blueprint. With her roots in science and a deep connection to mysticism, Maria brings a rare clarity to what it actually means to trust yourself, follow your path, and live from your highest frequency.

We explore the full arc of her story—from being raised Catholic in Venezuela, to rejecting spirituality completely, to eventually discovering Human Design, manifestation, and the Gene Keys. This conversation is expansive, honest, and full of those “oh wow, that’s me” kind of moments.

Whether you’re curious about what the Gene Keys are, how they compare to Human Design and astrology, or you just want to feel more connected to your purpose—you’ll find something here that resonates. We also bust some myths (like the one about “specific vs. nonspecific manifestors”), and talk about how these systems aren’t here to box you in, but to free you.

When life begins to feel too small, when the soul aches beneath the surface of success, when burnout becomes your baseline—what happens if you stop pushing and start listening?

In this deeply human, soul-stirring episode of Enter the Portal, Verena Borell joins us to share her story of unraveling and reweaving. A guide, evolutionary astrologer, and somatic practitioner-in-training, Verena opens up about the moment her seemingly perfect life—glamorous, global, and go-go-go—collapsed from the inside out. Beneath the surface of curated content and a thriving business, she was living on four hours of sleep, wired on caffeine, and totally disconnected from her truth.

What followed was not a quick fix or a bold leap—but a slow, sacred process of remembering. Through deep rest, ancestral reconnection, and the healing language of the body, Verena found her way back. And today, she holds space for others to do the same: to feel their way home, to reclaim the pace of nature, and to find liberation not in doing more—but in becoming more of who they truly are.

This conversation is a balm for anyone walking through burnout, questioning their path, or quietly whispering, “This isn’t mine anymore.” It’s a call to soften, to slow down, and to trust the spiral of becoming.
