Description

This week, I’m sitting with the concept of waiting to respond — a strategy from Human Design that has challenged and changed me in unexpected ways.

I share the story of how I went from skeptical outsider to reluctant-but-curious explorer after a reading with a trusted friend cracked something wide open in me. This idea — that I’m not meant to initiate, but to respond — brought up a lot of resistance at first. But the more I sat with it, the more it began to feel like a much-needed invitation: to stop pushing, to stop striving, and to begin co-creating with something larger than myself.


This isn’t a how-to episode. It’s a reflection on the discomfort of waiting, the courage it takes to pause, and the possibility that opens when we stop trying to control the timing of our lives. I also share how this strategy is shaping my own regenerative path — not just in work, but in life.
