Welcome back to a Beautiful Fix. Today's guest is someone whose energy and
message
[00:01:00]
I know will speak to so many of you. Lindsay Lins Campen
is the founder of Design the Life you Love. With Lens, a transformational
podcast and coaching space dedicated to helping women step out of autopilot

Lindsay, I'm so glad you're here. I am so happy to be here. Tracy, you are such a
light and so fun to talk to, and I love what you do and I
love human design, so I
am very amped for this conversation. Yes. I'm so excited. It's wonderful to have
[00:02:00]
a fellow human design nerd on the show so we can just geek out on
it.
And, um, I was on your podcast a while back and I've just been meanin
g to have
you on the show, so I'm so happy that you're here today. Um, but let's just, let's
jump on in. So you help women design the life that they love. But before we get
into that, I'd love to know, was there a moment that you realized you were on
autop
ilot?
Oh yes. That's how this whole thing started. Of course. Um, so I was, I've
always been some, some form of designer. Um, I was always in my grandma's
antique shop. She had an antique shop and she loved to decorate. I had my own
little corner where I s
old my own little things and decorated my own little
shelves and things like that.
And. So that was, you know, growing up, um, I thought I wanted to be an
interior designer, so I applied for interior design school and
[00:03:00]
I was
supposed to go to Min
neapolis and I am from a town of about 400 people. So
that kind of freaked me out. I put the brakes on and chose a smaller school.
Went to, um, went to school for a bit.
Ended up not necessarily loving that. Met my husband. Um, ended up in graphic
design f
or seven or 10 years, something like that. And then that led to interior
design and kitchen design. And I was always living in hustle, hustle, hustle,
hustle, burnout. Um, I came from a family of entrepreneurs, small business
owners.
Um, my dad had a dairy
farm. My grandparents and aunts and uncles all had
dairy farms. And my mom owned how Wisconsin. Of me. Right. I love it. He is
in beer. Um, and I was the oldest grandchild. I was the oldest child. I
[00:04:00]
was praised for my hard work and praised for
my drive and my ambition. And,
you know, it, it did lead me down a lot of very good paths, but it also led me to
a lot of burnout.
Work was the most important thing and I, I would just go through these cycles
of burnout constantly, you know, work, work, wo
rk, and then crash, and then
work, work, work and crash. And it just, I was like missing my whole life. I was
missing out on what was right in front of me, my kids' lives, and just simple
things like even nature and being present with.
With myself and with
nature and with God on a walk, it, it feels like I took off
dirty glasses.
So how did you, when you realized that you were just hustling through
[00:05:00]
what, what happened next? How did you go from that to where you
are now? So I would say the shift r
eally started right before I. Left my safe job,
right? My, um, job that had insurance and retirement. In this quote, steady
paycheck, I started my business.
And once I started my business, I feel like entrepreneurs are entrepreneurial
journey. The entrepre
neurial journey really is going to crack you, right? You
can't run from your. Stuff anymore because it's just you and you get to a point
where you kind of look around and realize I'm the only one that's holding
myself back from success, the life that I wan
t.
Um, and I ended up taking some courses actually in design
[00:06:00]
that led
into more, um. Spiritual paths, like personal development paths. So it was like
that first coaching experience was all about someone teaching me how to design
or teaching me h
ow to create a design business. Even though I had been doing
design for seven years prior to this, I felt like I needed some more validation.
Right. And at the basis of all coaching, as you probably know, it's. Energy. It's
how you show up, right? It's, yo
u can, you can be in a course about networking
or, um, advertising or design or manifestation meditation. They're all gonna
kind of have the same core teaching, right? So, yes. Um, I would say when I
first started my business, that's when I got into a coup
le different programs
and.
[00:07:00]
It was like just this little nugget of, you know, follow the breadcrumbs and each
course, and each teacher that I came upon, each book that I read unlocked more
presence and more of a slowdown in me.
And so did you sud
denly leave your life of graphic design and that kind of
world and jump into this? Or was it a slow transition? So I went from graphic
design to kitchen design and then from kitchen design to my own business. And
I would say it was a gradual, a gradual shi
ft. Um, but it's, I'm actually in the
middle of closing down my design business, Tracy.
Um, this month will be the last month of an eye for consulting and design,
because I feel so called to do. Different work, right? I'm still
[00:08:00]
probably going to
end up back there helping people create intentional spaces,
but it's not going to look the same. And it's really even hard for me to entertain
the way I used to do business because I was so like sales driven and hustle and
like I operate from feelings mor
e than logic now.
And I follow my heart more than my head. I'm sure any business person would
be like, you're shutting down this business and why, but that's just, that seems to
be my pattern following my heart instead of my head. And what looks good on
pa
per has rewarded me in so many different ways, in so many different
situations that that's my, that's my program.
I guess you could say you're designed that way. You, Lindsay, can you hear an
echo for me? No. Okay. Can you hear one from me? No, you sound g
ood. It
was just me
[00:09:00]
and I'll edit this part. I just wanna make sure it wasn't so,
yeah, I was saying, so you are beautifully designed that way 'cause you are a
manifesting generator, correct?
Correct. That's how you were designed to pivot and pi
vot often and to follow
the breadcrumbs and not worry about finishing something to what other people
may think is a point of closure. It's when you. No, it has done, its, its its thing
and it's led me to this, and now I'm going to embrace that, so I love i
t.
So tell us a little bit more about what the world that you live in now. So design
now for you has become something else. What, what it, what are you, we
mentioned sound, bath healing and human design. And what does your world
look like now? The one that
you're, you're moving towards. Yeah. Well, I first
wanna, um, mention that human design.
Once I learned about my human design, it was like this big weight had been
lifted off of me. Because yes, like you said, I'm not designed to finish things
[00:10:00]
and there's so much pressure from the outside world to finish
everything before you start a new project. And that, that is so not me. It is so not
me.
And I, I probably look like a crazy person, like a squirrel. Right. Because I go
where my energy flows, r
ight? And I follow what lights me up. And so when I
learned about my human design, it was just like this huge aha moment.
Permission slip relief. Like, oh hell yes, I can be who I am, kind of thing. Yes,
yes.
Because not only are you a manifesting generato
r, but you're also a three five
your profile. So for, you know, three fives, especially with three, you are here
to, to. Do it. Just get out there and get messy. Just trial and error. Do all the
things. Be adventurous. Don't sit on the sidelines. And for b
oth manifesting
generators and a line three to the outside world, it may
[00:11:00]
look a little
chaotic.
It may look a little messy. People might be like, what is she doing? But once
you know you're human design and you know that not only are you design.
To
do that, but it's literally your superpower. It's what makes you unique. It's how
you create, it's, you taste things and then you get what you need from it, and
then you try something else and maybe you combine those two.
So, um, it's wonderful to see someone living their design and embracing it and
filling that exhale and that permission slip. And I love it. Yeah, my, my assistant
called me whimsical, and she is not a manifesting generator, so we did not
obviously work the
same or have the same kind of human design. Um, I think
she was a generator.
Okay. So it was very unique. She said it with, um, with love. I, I always told
her, I'm like, oh yeah, that's your nice way of calling me,
[00:12:00]
uh, a
beautiful mess or trai
n wreck or whatever you really think.
I love it. So, um, okay, so now your world is comprised of human design and
what else? The Sound Bowl healings, like it's, yeah. What does it look like? So,
okay. Um, I have my own podcast. I have a podcast with my bes
t friend Jenna,
called Listen in. Um, that's, that's just like basically somebody listening in on
our conversations.
We, we already talk about these things. Um, so it's like not a big deal to hit
record, right? We talk about, you know, human design and per
sonal growth and
self love and all these things that we already wanna talk about. So. And then I
have my coaching programs. So Blueprint is my signature course. It is. It
stemmed from a custom planner that I designed,
[00:13:00]
and that planner is
somethi
ng I've been using for years to help me stay in alignment with my
values, with my purpose here, with my spirituality.
It's not like a planner that you're going to put in all of your appointments or
anything like that. It's an alignment tool. And inside Blu
eprint, I teach the
principles behind that. And then I also have daily audios to really help you stay
consistent because that's one of the things that I struggle with is consistency.
And I know that's also part of my human design.
Yeah. Wow. And then sound
bowls. Um, I do sound baths, so in
-
person events
where people can come and get an energetic reset. Sound healing. My particular
bowls actually are aligned to the chakras. So when you listen to the sound
bowls, it's a way to align your energy and reset. Um
,
[00:14:00]
it's also kind of
like a gateway drug because, um.
It's a tangible thing, right? You know, when you start talking about this,
especially in a small town in Wisconsin, you know, and not a lot of people
around here talk about manifestation or meditation on the regular. So this is like
a, a gateway drug, righ
t? They can come and have a sound bath, and it's
something that's tangible where if you're explaining a course or if you're
explaining a retreat to someone who's never experienced it, it's really hard to
convey the value.
So the sound baths, are they at yo
ur home or do you have a studio? Yeah, so in
the summertime we do them on my beach.
It's magic. Um, I am, I've always wanted to live on the water and here where
we, in our area, I wanted to be in the school district, so a couple years ago,
[00:15:00]
two a
nd a half years ago now. Um. I got tired of looking for the
house on the water before we sold our house. And I just, I had this knowing that
once we sell our house, the new house will appear.
And everybody looked at me like I had two heads. My grandpa espe
cially was
like, you're doing this wrong. Where are you gonna live? You've got kids, what
are you thinking? You know, really trying to, um, imprint their limitations on
me. And I'm like, it's gonna be fine. I'll figure it out and sure enough, my house
sold
within five days, I believe it was, and we found this place, um, by me cold
calling people.
Yeah. Oh. Mm
-
hmm. You mean like, like, hello? I love your home. Are you
interested in selling? Kind of cold calling. Yep. Lindsay. Yeah, so this is such a
beautifu
l example of how
[00:16:00]
we are always being led and it doesn't
make sense in the moment. I used to sell newspaper ads. That's pretty much like
selling, you know, ketchup popsicle to a woman in white gloves, right?
A lot of people that wanna do newspape
r ads and I would have to cold, cold
call, um, you know, people I'd never met before. And, um, even, you know, my.
Early days as bartending in my mom's bar. You have to learn how to talk to
people and not be, you know, scared. And so all of that led me to
be able to
actually cold call people and say, Hey, you wanna sell your house?
And all it took was one guy who's like, yeah, maybe you can come look at it.
And we had a deal within a week.
Yeah, and it has 540 feet of river frontage. I have a white sandy be
ach in
Wisconsin. I mean, like these are
[00:17:00]
things that don't even really
happen, especially in our area. Yeah. That is the power of following your
nudges that come from that inner authority, not the mind. 'cause the mind is
gonna listen to this en
tire story and be like, wait, we're doing what?
And we're gonna call who. And um, I love so many things of what you said. I
wanna ask about the sound, um, healing. But before I forget, um, I was gonna
say, you touched on something that I was recently talki
ng to one of my son's,
uh, friends, she has a job that. Doesn't pay a whole lot. It's in the industry, um,
that she's interested in.
But you know, it's hard for her listening to what they're paying her. It feels like
a, but I was like, you are learning suc
h beautiful skills. Because she's doing kind
of her version of what you described, having to call people and, um, cold calling
and convincing them to, you know, join these programs. Like that is a life
[00:18:00]
skill that many of us rarely master.
So, yo
u know, all of these things make sense. Maybe not at the time, but later,
but I wanted to ask you about the sound healing. I am so into sound healing,
um, because I realize that we are energetic beings, that we respond our body.
Response we're, it's all ab
out frequency and, um, there's something so soothing
about being in the presence of sound bowls.
I've threatened to get a couple myself. So one of the things, I was looking at
them the other day and I saw a set of, I think seven. I thought, Tracy, you don'
t
even know how to play one. Like, do we need to start with seven? I, I love gear.
I love all the things I thought, I thought maybe I'll do three. How did you get
started?
Did you take a class? Did you just play with them? I noticed that some of the
bowls
have different chords associated with them, different notes, a, G or C, and
I thought, I don't even know which one I want. I know they coordinate to your,
your chakras, but can you tell us a little bit about this? Yeah, so that was just a
deep knowing.
Um,
I
[00:19:00]
experienced my first sound bath at a retreat out in LA and it
was awesome and it just kept coming into my awareness and I'm like. This is a
sign. I'm just gonna get 'em. And um, yeah, you can start with just one or you
can start with a full c
hakra set. So my set is the chakra set. Each bowl is a
attuned to one of the seven chakras, and I just taught myself how to play.
I think it's a feeling thing, right? If it feels good energetically, um, then I. The
intention that I put into it and me playi
ng it is going to put out an intention to
my guests. And how big are your gatherings? Oh, the biggest I've I've had is 13.
So not huge. Not huge, no. I love that. I think intimacy is so underrated.
It's, it's, it's that sweet spot when you can, you know, w
e,
[00:20:00]
I,
especially as women, we go to things where there are tons of people there. If
you're working in corporate America, the room's crowded with people. But
having those intimate gatherings where it's you and just a handful of other
women to exp
erience something like that is, is absolutely beautiful.
Um, I've been talking with a friend about this summer. I think we're gonna do
something, um, here at my home. Where a woman's gonna come in and do
sound healing, and we're gonna do it around the pool
because we thought being
close to water. I'm wondering what that might be like, whether the women are
immersed in the pool or they're just, it's just bouncing off of the, the water from
the pool.
But I thought that might be a really beautiful experience.
Absolutely. Yeah.
Water is a conductor, right? So being super hydrated for these, um, events and
being next to water is only going to amplify the experience. Yes. Yeah. Well, so
when you, we talked in, in your intro kind of about, you know, slowing down
an
d we talked about listening to your intuition and body.
You've shown us all these beautiful
[00:21:00]
examples. What is your go
-
to
practice like when life starts feeling really noisy or overwhelming?
Well, well, meditation walk journal, and it just depend
s on the day and the
energy. Um, the order of those things, or if I do one versus all three. But a walk
can solve just about any single problem that I've ever come up with or come
against. And it has to be a disconnected walk. Like no phone, no Apple Watch
.
I talked about this in the podcast that I released today. It's so funny that you
bring it up, but being intentional. Did you, I'm sorry, did you say no Apple
watch? No Apple watch on a walk. Now. Now why? Tell me, tell me why to the
watch? 'cause it's no
t necessarily talking to you and beeping and vibrating and
distracting you.
Well, um, I don't use any kind of Bluetooth earbuds or, or the Apple Watch just
[00:22:00]
because we don't know how that's affecting our body. And, um, so
corded earbuds are the o
nly thing that I use. I don't even own an Apple watch,
and I, I honestly wouldn't want to just because I don't know how that's.
Affecting us and mm
-
hmm.
And there's a lot of research that's showing it's affecting us in, in scary ways.
Um, but even like, even the days that I've forgotten to and I've taken my phone
with me on my walk and I'll just take it out to take a picture that pulls us out of
presence,
it pulls us in, disconnects us out of our appointment with God.
I believe that nature is like, it's such an easy. It's a hack to our nervous system.
It's a hack to our intuition. It's a hack to connection with God. It's a, it's really
hard to be stressed o
ut when you're in nature and just really being present with
the birds and the trees and the beauty. And,
[00:23:00]
um, in my backyard we
have these humongous, you know, oak trees and it's like, and maple trees.
And, um, actually they're probably all maple
. My fiance's gonna be like, you
don't know your trees. He's a logger, so he knows his trees. But I just look at
them and they're so huge. I mean, some of them I can't even fit my arms around
and it's like such a good reminder of how small we are. I. And n
ature is a
teacher teaching us that we don't have to be in a hurry.
We don't have to question everything. We don't have to resist change. I mean,
look at a tree and how she releases her beautiful leaves in the fall. She's not
scrambling to pick them up or
worried they're not gonna come back. It's just,
I'm obsessed with nature. She's, she's strong, yet she's flexible and she
understands that being flexible with the wind allows her to, you know, not be
pulled over.
And I, I agree. I
[00:24:00]
don't, I thoug
ht it was just kind of me, but the more
that I talk to people, I realize how nature impacts so many people. I've always
been into nature. I've always loved animals. Um, the world told me I was
ridiculous as a little girl. Now I know better. But, um. I'm no
w realizing my
next level is the intelligence that nature holds.
Whether it is these trees, they are alive. They, they have their own systems, they
are complex, they are, um, witnesses to what we're doing. We're witnessing
them. Like I'm really starting to
get in a whole different level of seeing nature
for what it is and also realizing I know nothing like I'm just. A student and
sometimes I just sit there and it's like, I don't know what it is I need to learn, but
I'm here to just quiet myself.
Be in your
presence and Marvel versus just seeing them as they're here for me.
Or, oh, that's a tree. Like I really. Recognize them
[00:25:00]
with awe and I
mean, I've always done that with animals, but now it's starting to happen with
trees and, and plants and flow
ers and there is something to, to nature for sure.
Yeah. Yeah. There's a resonance and, and it's just like co
-
regulating at a retreat.
We're co co
-
regulating with nature all the time. Yes. So along those lines, do
you do work with nerve nervous system work
about way? I would, well, I
shouldn't even say in a roundabout way. Yes, I do because I, nature is a way to
tap into, um, nervous system healing.
Journaling is a way to heal your nervous system. It's a somatic practice.
Meditation is a nervous system heal
ing tool. All of it is, is related to the nervous
system and rewiring your mind simply by changing
[00:26:00]
your thoughts
and getting out of your bs. You know, that's all part of it. It's all intertwined.
Yeah. I'm also learning how important the nervous
system is. Before we hopped
on this podcast, we took just three deep breaths. It is so important. It's, it tells
our body that we're safe. It's so simple. It's so available to us. Just taking deep
breaths. Yes. Lindsay, do you have a favorite, we've talke
d about a lot of
different things, sound bowl healing, you know, nervous systems and nature.
Um, human design is, do you have kind of a go
-
to or do you just play with all of
it? Yeah, um, like all of it. Like I was saying, the walk can be one of 'em. Um,
t
he journaling is a huge part of my life. Every morning I start out with a
meditation, a journal exercise, and a walk, and those are are my staples,
[00:27:00]
the sound bowls.
They're not something that I do every single day, but they definitely help me.
A
nd inside my meditations, I do a lot of breath work type stuff too. So all of it.
Do you go on walks when it's as cold as it is in Wisconsin right now? Yeah, but
it's certainly harder. Hey, alright. I have no excuses then because I love to walk,
but lean,
I, I have not been out.
I'm in Indiana, so, uh, I have not, I haven't done it, but I miss it. I, I definitely
miss it. Um, yeah, they're shorter this time of year, I will say that. Okay. Well,
Lindsay, I wanted to touch on your human design a little bit more. Um, so
being, uh, wi
th your profile being a three five, we talked a little bit about the
three, you know, living your life through your lived experiences.
There is no failure. You're either winning or you're learning. Um, but with the
five line,
[00:28:00]
when I think of the
five line, it is someone who is. Can be
considered the problem solver. And a lot of times line fives are projected on
people sometimes don't actually see you. For you, they project onto line fives
what they need them to be, what they want them to be.
That
can be positive, that can be negative. Um, and. They may say, here's what I
need you to do. Here's what I need you to fix. Here's what you can do. All the
things, whether or not you've signed up for that. And it can sometimes be
overwhelming if you allow
that. If you allow that to shape your world. People
are projecting on me that this is who I am and if you adopt it as as your truth, it
can be overwhelming or there can be resentment if people are always coming to
you to be the fixer.
I'm just wondering. O
r the other side to line five. It's beautiful energy because it
is very universal. You are here to impact on a big level. Um, I'm just curious,
how is that showing up for you? Well, I was always a
[00:29:00]
fixer in
relationships, so that was a problem. U
m, and as the oldest child, I've also found
myself fixing a lot of things when and taking on other people's stuff.
So yes, that all resonates very much so. And learning about that quality of mine
through human design and through all the work that I've done
, I would say, has
allowed me to let go and release some of that need to, you know, it's tied to
people pleasing, like, oh, they're not gonna be happy with me if I don't fix it.
Yeah. And the oldest child in me is like, oh, I'll handle it, you know, give i
t all
to me. That's definitely something that I struggled with in the past couple years.
I lost my dad unexpectedly and we, um, I ended up being the executor, executor
of his estate. Highly don't recommend if you find yourself in that position,
listeners,
[00:30:00]
I.
Do not take that on. Do not take that on. I don't care how much money it costs
you. That was definitely my biggest lesson is to protect your energy and know
your own self
-
worth enough to not put yourself in that sort of a situation. Um,
but y
eah, as an oldest child, I have always been the fixer and the one who just
handles it, the one who does all the family gatherings and stuff.
And as I learn and grow. And remind myself of my human design and remind
myself that, no, I don't have to take on a
ll this stuff. The happier I am, the, uh,
more free I am. That's beautiful. I'm sorry to hear about your father. That's,
that's not, it's never easy. Um, were you gonna say so. No, I just was gonna say
thank you.
Oh, okay. I, I think that, you know, God br
ings us to and through all of these
hard times
[00:31:00]
so that we can be a lighthouse for the next person in line,
the next person that we come across. You know, like our healing journey is not
complete until we can help the next person. And Absolutely.
I believe that I'm. I
believe that we all are alchemists in that we can turn our pain into purpose and
turn our lessons into something helpful for others.
You know, we're never, like you said earlier, we're never losing. We're always
either winning or lea
rning, and the things that happen in our life are happening
for us, not to us. That's right. And again, as a three five, you are here to
experience life fully by living it. And then that's how you teach others.
That's how others, that's the magic that you
give to others, you know, through
your lived experience. So, um, yeah. Well, I'm curious if there's, is there
something that you've had to unlearn
[00:32:00]
to fully choose yourself to fully
prioritize Lindsay? There's so many things Tracy, um, unlearn, p
eople pleasing,
unlearn, or I should say relearn ambition.
'cause I don't think ambition is a bad quality, but there's obviously a point where
it becomes a recipe for burnout. Um, I, I used to call myself an idea factory and
I. I am an idea factory. Like I
have all these ideas. I just need 10,000 minions to
help me execute them. Right? Yes. But learning that not every idea needs to be
chased and ideas are not scarce.
That's something I've had to learn in the last couple years that was like this huge
aha. Um
.
There's a million, I'll think of 10,000 of them after we get off this call, I'm sure.
But I'm glad that you are
[00:33:00]
learning to unlearn. 'cause I think that is,
that's a big part of, I think leveling up, realizing, you know, there's some things
th
at we need to, to shed in order to, you know, reach our next level. Um, lens.
Before we move into our speed round, is there anything else that you would like
to share?
No, I don't think so. I think we're, we're covering all the good things, all the
juicy s
tuff. Right. Awesome. Well, what makes you come alive?
Helping others this work? I, um, yes. So one of my earliest coaches was Kate
Northrop, and I remember being on a call with her, and her and I were talking
just like this. And, um,
[00:34:00]
I, I think
she asked, or I don't know.
Somehow I got into saying that I just wanna talk about this stuff all day long.
Cyclical planning and, and you know, she teaches doing less right?
And not working so hard, not moving from hustle, but living in flow. And she
told me, you can. And it was like this light bulb moment of maybe that's what I
should be doing with my life. Um, so yeah, all of this stuff makes. Me come
alive talking about man
ifesting, teaching other people how to get grounded and
get present, teaching other people how to meditate.
'cause that was something that I really, really struggled with. I would sit and
like, I'm sure my face looked like this, you know, like, am I really
doing it this
time? And I would think I would meditate for, you know, 20 minutes. And here
it was like 3, 3, 3 seconds maybe.
[00:35:00]
Um. And then I found the form of
meditation that I, that I guide now.
And I think it's just such an unlock. It's somet
hing that I do every single day. I
have done it every single day for about five years now and it's completely
changed my life. Um, so yeah.
Super impressive that Kate was your direct mentor coach. That's huge. Yeah,
she wasn't as big. She really has blown
up in the last She's blown up. Yeah.
Yeah. She was a big coach then at the time. But I realize now, like her and I
were on some calls where our, I mean it was still a group container, but we were
conversing like this, and that was such a big moment.
I got
to meet her in person at one of Kathy's retreats and I was like, oh, I
manifested this. Yes. It's a song that instantly shifts your energy or makes you
feel something.
[00:36:00]
Oh, I love music. Absolutely love music. Anything.
Bob Marley. Um, Megan Trai
ner. Um, what's the Megan Trainer one? Me too.
Um, yeah, I love, I love music.
Zach Bryant is another one of my favorites. And, um. And I'm all over the place
like reggae, country rock, old school, rock old school, rap. I'm a baby of the
eighties. Um, but
yeah, I love music. And music is such a fast way to shift your
energy, um, instantly. Instantly. That's one of the tools that I taught my children
because it's such an easy thing and it's kid friendly, right?
You know, kids love music, so. Oh, totally. And
I'm the same way. I, there's not
a genre of music that I know of, that I don't like, at least one song. It's just, I, I
love, I love it all, and, and I'm so amazed by people that can sing. I cannot
[00:37:00]
sing, so it's like, if you can, I'm just like,
I'm here for it. What, how
about a book, A book that cracked you open or stayed with you long after the
last page?
Okay. I'm a book freak. Yes. Total book freak. I am always reading a physical
book. Yes. Ah, same. I have this one going right now. Tuesdays
with Maureen,
Mitch. Oh, yes. Um, Al Album. Um, very good so far, and man, I'm listening on
my phone are on Audible. I don't know how many different ones, but the ones
that stick with me are my Kate Northrop's.
Um, do Less Money, A Love Story, um, untethe
red Soul. Yes. The Dynamic
Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder. So that's one that I've listened to on
Audible. This is my, I started listening to it again this morning. It's so good, it's
so packed. Full of
[00:38:00]
wisdom. Um, say that one again. Wh
at was the,
the last one?
Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder.
Um, breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza. Joe Dispenza. Yep.
Yep. The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. Yes. Yes. Uh, green Lights by Matthew
McConaughey. I could listen to
him every day. I wish he would read all my
books.
I understand that. Those are great. I'm like, it's so in. I, okay. I feel better. 'cause
I am like, Tracy, you're outta control. I read so many books at the same time, so
it's awesome to hear a list. Um, a
list like yours. That's, that's great. How about
your favorite little indulgence or guilty pleasure God? Um, well, coffee is a easy
answer.
And then my beach and sunsets like, I feel like an addict. I could sit down there
and I do,
[00:39:00]
i'll, I'll be
like, I'm gonna run to the river quick. And then
they're, they're like, where have you been? And it's been an hour. 'cause I just sit
there and I'm just like in awe of how beautiful it is. And it also reminds me of
my power because I helped create this, I
helped bring this to fruition, right?
Like this was my dream. And here we are in. That's, that's huge. Huge. That's
huge. Absolutely. That you are living a manifestation. You can see every day
how powerful it is to, to focus, trust yourself and yeah. Your
, I mean, your
backyard is a beautiful fix. That's what it is. It's, it's all awe and wonder and, oh,
um, well, one thing that always reminds you how beautiful life really is, kids.
How old are they? I have a 1

old.
[00:40:00]
Yeah. Hey, life is very wild and beautiful. Absolutely beautiful and
beautiful. That it, wow. Well, um, I'm, I'm trying to reframe the idea of midlife
crisis into something I call midlife curiosity. So I'd love to know what's
something you're g
enuinely curious about right now.
Oof. Well, human design. I'm obsessed with human design. Um, I have been for
a couple years, but I, I'll like be obsessed with it for a while and then I kind of
follow and then I get back into it and it's just like, it's,
so that's one thing. I
haven't taken a course a full course on that I really maybe should, um, that
breath work.
Like I do breath work in my meditation, but the really. I don't even know if
there's a name for the particular form of breath work that I am ob
sessed with.
But, um,
[00:41:00]
my friend Christina Summers has come to my groups and,
and done sessions for my, my people. That's the kind of breath work that I'm
obsessed with, or ISTs breath work is so powerful.
It always, I just did a session like las
t week. It always shocks me how powerful
it is. I, I just. It's amazing what happens to you when you really go through, you
know, a, a session and, and fill all the fills and what it brings up and, and how
your body moves and fills and, um, and yeah, in hu
man design it's so complex.
You know, when I do my sessions with people, you just, we're just scratching
the surface. It's, we're just getting to the basics, which are so important. They
are the most foundational aspects, but it's so beautifully layered. You can just
keep. Peeling ba
ck more and more and more. And the more you get in
alignment with your design, the more that the rest of the, um, minutiae, the, the
fine detail really comes to life and matter.
So yes, I, I totally agree with that. I tell people all the
[00:42:00]
time, i
f it
doesn't make sense or resonate with you right away, it might be because you're
so out of a, um, alignment with it because you've been conditioned so, you
know, to be out of alignment with it. Yeah, it, and it also could be that you are,
um, you don't
resonate with it because you've, you've just moved away from it.
Like you or you. What I was trying to say is you could be in the lower
expression of your chart. There's a higher expression of lower expression.
There. Gifts. There's shadows. And when I fir
st found hu my human design, I
was in the shadow part of it. You know what the potentiality of it I couldn't
really relate to.
And then when I got down to the shadows, I was like, here I am. This is where I
am and which is good because once you realize you
're in the shadows, you can
kind of see that you're there. And once you get yourself in alignment, you can
see instantly how the higher expressions are, you know, truly, truly you.
Um, ooh, that's not something I've ever talked about. I'm
[00:43:00]
really
curious about the shadow part. Oh yes. Oh yes. There's a lot of polarity in
human design. There are gifts and challenges. There's, there's definitely
shadows for everything. There's, there's like a, the polar opposite. And so yes,
when you are out of alig
nment, you're working against your energy, you are in
the lower expressions of your chart.
That's all. And. But what I love about human design is there's, there's still, that's
not even bad. It, there's nothing bad about your design wherever you are. And
o
nce you have that awareness of here's where I am or here's how I'm being
conditioned, um, then you, it's very powerful to, to know that here's where I can
go.
Especially when you can see, and when you get into the gene keys, it's really
nice because with e
ach thing you can see what, what each level looks like.
Okay. So you're here today. But man, the gift of this is here, and then you can
try to work towards that. So yeah, there, it's just, don't even get me started Lens.
We'll be going on for the next thre
e hours. I, I just, I love, I love it, I love it. I
love But lens,
