Human Design coach Evelyn Levenson talks to host Michelle Vandepas about how to use Human Design for your success and abundance.  Evelyn explains Outer Authority and Inner Authority and how we've been conditioned throughout our lives. This conditioning has caused us difficulty in trusting our inner sense of what feels good. Evelyn teaches us how to override that Outer Authority so we can be more aligned to our natural abundance.  In this interview, Evelyn briefly discusses the Human Design Types (Manifestor, Generator/Manifesting Generator, Projector, Reflector) and shares ways for each type to make decisions with confidence. Through Human Design, you have the ability to access your own truth, which is crucial for living in alignment with your Human Design Type.  In order to access this truth, you must constantly "check in" with yourself and make minor course corrections along the way. You can do this by asking yourself a question like "Does this feel correct for m

Human Design Expert Sandra Lee focuses on emotional, spiritual, and body healing. Listen as she speaks with host Michelle Vandepas about healing on all levels using Human Design. Sandra discusses how Human Design is the entry point; when people are living their truth, their life goes better, their health is better, they feel better about themselves. But when they are not living their truth, then everything 'seems' to fall apart. Sandra gives a brief overview of the different Human Design types and shares ideas about how to take action in the world. Sandra answers the question "What does it mean to live your truth?"  She says that there's a big difference in how you experience yourself in your life when you're doing what's right for you. Human Design can help people understand what is right for them and how to make adjustments when things don't feel good. If you're doing what feels good to you, then you're in the right place. For more information about Sandra Lee, a

Can you imagine remembering everyday of your life since age six? Author and coach Frank Healy has done just that. In this episode, Michelle Vandepas speaks with Frank Healy, who has had a phenomenal memory since he was five years old. Before he turned six he had an entire year of the calendar memorized. With little effort he soon knew the entire calendar from 1752 to 2999. You ask him any date in that range and he will tell you the day of the week it occurred or will occur. He knows his local weather for the past 40 years, and thousands of other facts. He has taught memory classes, and has helped people with head injuries regain their capacities to remember, and helped people who needed to improve their skills to perform at their jobs. Frank is currently writing an autobiography on how he memorizes everything. Tune in with Michelle Vandepas as she and Frank discuss tips for remembering things, like placing objects in familiar rooms to remind you to remember.  Frank says that people remember memories

First time novelist Lauren Epshteyn, talks with Michelle Vandepas about "A Northern Gentleman," her writing process, the use of a nom-de-plume (Lane Everett), and ideas that sparked the conception of the novel and its main character, Drucker May. A Northern Gentleman is a historical fiction novel set in 1890's America that is fun and inventive.  It's a story that author Lane Everett wrote because it was something that she says "I, myself,  would want to read." Main character, Drucker May, is searching for something and that something is meaning in his life.  This is a topic that translates through time as people continue to ask themselves "Is this what I'm meant to be doing?" and "How can I add meaning to my life?" This epic journey is more than a physical journey for Drucker and the characters he meets along the way, as he is faced with answering these questions.   Lane Everett discusses the techniques she used to write "A Northern Gentleman" like using

"Nothing breaks my heart more than when I see someone wanting to do something, but they’re just so unsure of where to begin that they never start.  I’ve been paralyzed in fear of the unknown more times than I dare to count, and it’s just no bueno.  I also love giving people ideas of the opportunities they have to monetize their passions.  Or how they can kick-start a stagnant business by just thinking of creative marketing ideas or product development.
