Medicine Mother

In this week's episode I speak with Chrissy Roil. Chrissy is a Life Design Coach, working through the lens of Human Design.

Guiding experiences of soul led and aligned embodiment, Chrissy reminds us where to look... within. She works with humans to experience deeper levels of self awareness, self trust and ultimately self sovereignty so they can live a life by design, not default.

I absolutely loved having this conversation with Chrissy, she is a dear friend of mine, and it truly is a treat to be sharing her with you today.

In this episode we talk about...

• What human design is
• How Chrissy got into teaching human design, and how it’s impacted her own life
• The unique way your intuition communicates with you, and how to access it
• Why ‘gut instincts’ aren’t for everyone
• The different energy types and their wonderful gifts
• Why you might like to get a HD reading vs navigating understanding human design on your own
• How you can work with Chrissy and the different things she offers. Including readings to help understand your children!

Alex first dropped into my orbit about 12 months ago when I worked with her in a one off session, as her coach, during her second pregnancy. Naturally I followed her journey through pregnancy and into motherhood with baby number two, and so beautifully we have landed side by side in the same coaching program with my beloved coach Ellie Swift.
I’ve wanted to have Alex on the show for months now but saw the space to honour her energy and that I knew she would have so much to share on this side of birth number two. And of course, what divine timing.
Alex is a sensual wealth coach who guides women to connect to their sensuality and unlock limitless exponentiality. Originally from Chicago and an entrepreneur at heart, she left her 'on-paper perfect' corporate fashion merchandising career and moved to Australia in 2018.

Fast forward to 2022 – together with her husband & their two daughters on her hip – Alex has built a million dollar soulful product business in under 3 years. Alex has also coached hundreds of entrepreneurs across the globe to build ecommerce businesses, which led her to explore how the mind, body & spirit interact in business and the creation of wealth.

Unraveling the connection between her sensuality, motherhood, and wealth has by far been the biggest needle mover in her own business and most importantly, in the lives of her clients. Her mission is to guide women and mothers everywhere to tap into their sensuality & alchemise the abundant lives of their dreams.

In today’s episode we cover...
+ What each of Alex’s first trimester experiences were like, and how she prepared the second time around. Including how she lent fully into being held and supported as priority.+ What each of Alex’s birth experiences looked like, and why she chose a new care provider at 40 weeks pregnant.
+ How she is feeling as she comes out of the fourth trimester, and where her focus and intention is and how this clarity is serving her to feel embodied at this time
+ What Alex learned about herself through the sacred container of birth and how that has more deeply informed her work in the world and her commitment to helping women remember their power
+ Why Alex believes we can have it all and how understanding our sacral chakra energy underpins our ability to do this
+ Why separating the ‘having’ from the ‘doing’ is essential for living an embodied and abundant life
Plus LOADS more.
This conversation was such a joy to experience, and I know that you will feel that through every moment.

Kelle Howard is an interior designer, creative director, stylist, speaker and mentor that somehow still has time for daily meditation. She has consciously created a business and life she once dreamed of, including a six-figure interior design empire; a large and loyal social media following; Bajo el Sol, her globally recognised home; a series of brand partnerships and collaborations; a digital course, Behind The Brand; and a 12-week Soul-Led Mastermind. Just to name a few. Kelle is guided by intuition and feeling, infusing her relaxed personality and coastal, luxe style into each and every project. I met Kelle for the first time in person a few years back in an airport and it truly seems like a lifetime ago. It’s incredible how quickly things can shift when we drop into alignment, which has absolutely been the case for both of us.
Over the past few years Kelle has returned to her Interior Design work after putting it on hold while she had babies, and if you follow her online you will know she has landed back in her zone with a bang!
In this episode we talk about...
+ How Kelle came to work as an interior designer
+ How her multi passionate soul is continuously offering her new ways of doing life, and how she embraces it
+ How Kelle nurtures herself amongst work and motherhood
+ What she has learned about herself over the past 9 years, and how that is reflected back to her through her work
+ Why she likes to involve her children in her business, and how she does this
+ Why Kelle doesn’t like to share much about her challenges publicly
+ Kelle’s thoughts on starting a business and following your passion after having children
+ What growth has looked like for Kelle, and her tips for staying in your own lane
+ How and why we need to make our home a sanctuary
+ How what you feel right now is influencing your future
And so much more!
I loved this conversation, and the opportunity to go a little deeper into Kelle’s journey. Even though we have known each other for many years now, there is something special about truly taking the time to hear your friends' stories. What privilege to have her with us on the show.

A LOT has happened in my world since we were last connected, as I'm certain has been the case for you too. It feels natural to share the momentous moments of the last 18 months (give or take) since I was generously sharing with you. A reintroduction to the familiar ears and a big 'hello, this is me' if you've just found my work.
Any great change in life comes with many growing pains, big learnings and of course letting go of a whole lot, all of which were the medicine of 2023.
In this episode I fill in the gaps from when I was last here up until Nov/Dec 2023. From moving interstate, to purchasing an online business that later became a retail store, to moving house and our life in Byron, I share it all here.
Laced with sweet lessons and bountiful gifts, 2023 was *monumental* in forging a new path for myself and my family.
Be sure to stop back tomorrow (if you're listening in real time) for part two episode 96 where I bring you right up to now.
To add a deeper layer and for the video montage of this episode, come on over to Substack (a blog like platform for writers) where I give you a deeper look into life.
