There's a point in everything where we literally can't go back. That the only way forward is, well, forward.
For me that point was 1999.
Then 2007.
And again in 2012.
And then 2015.
And then 2020.
And now, here again in 2024.
.
It started with the July 21st Full Moon (2024).
I have been on the fence about 'going all-in' on a new podcast.
I've been so intentional about aligning how I work to align with my Soul Strategy that I really needed to press pause through the summer to ensure I was following core insights from my Human Design, Numerology and Success Codex,
In Human Design, I'm an Emotional Manifesting Generator, which means that my Man.Gen. side can have me moving very quickly...too quickly sometimes, missing the absolutely VITAL need to check in with my emotional decision-making authority, ensuring I feel a consistent 'yes' over a period of time.
In retrospect, this has been the cause of so many of my mistakes and missteps since stepping out into Solopreneurship.
Somewhere around 2014 the idea fairies started visiting me, dropping a million 'what ifs' and possibilities into my mind, and before I understood my Design, I was under the impression I was supposed to ACT on all of them.
It's what brought me to the brink of burn out (repeatedly), bankruptcy and ultimately moving out ahead of my own unique relationship with 'Divine Timing'.
.
As I was reading some of the insights people had about the themes of this particular Full Moon, I got a clear sense that even though I'd done two other podcasts (Light on Marketing and Becoming Coherent) something was calling me to commit to going 'all-in' on another one.
As I sat on the beach one afternoon, just kind of 'zoned out' letting my mind relax, I heard, "New Age Tour Guide".
So, I wrote it down.
And let it go.
Only it wouldn't go.
That is how I KNEW my Emotional 'wave' was staying consistent around this idea that had dropped in. It kept coming back into my mind, and it kept FEELING correct for me.
But, I left it for another two weeks because I've started SO, SO, SOOOO MANY THINGS over the last 12 years that never manifested the results I wanted, or even reflected a level of satisfaction given the time and energy I'd put in.
And then, I left it for another two weeks (just to be sure).
I don't know if you've ever done a podcast but it can take a TREMENDOUS amount of time and energy, so I wanted to be absolutely certain that I could commit.
I wanted to be absolutely certain I could 'GO ALL IN', which was a core, underlying message of this Full Moon.
To recognize where the Universe was bringing us full circle, where perhaps we've been before and where we are being given an opportunity to commit more fully to something, to go ALL-IN.
Perhaps even, to recognize that there's been something we've been wanting to do and we've been making excuses or rationalizing why now is not the time...but this July Full Moon (2024) was very clear.
It's now or never.
For something.

If you have emotional definition in your Human Design like me, chances are you can relate to this.
Perhaps you understand all too well the creativity, idea fairies and the almost overwhelming push to 'just do it'. But, you might also understand the feeling of pure frustration, maybe even anger, when you commit to something (big or small) only feel a sense of regret. (Damn, why did I say yes to that...Gah! this looked good on paper but I really don't want to do this!)
That's what Emotional Definition brings and if you have it, and haven't already tuned in, it is vital to understand how your emotional wave operates because it is BIG part of your 'Soul Strategy' ... the process your Soul uses to guide you into decisions that you will love!
Without understanding how to align with this piece, it will continue to work against you (unconsciously) and hinder your ability to achieve your long-term CEO Vision and short-term goals.
