Kiera Doyle: Human Design & The Magic of Self Discovery

Kiera Doyle, host of Meeting Your Magic podcast, joins me on the mic for our Everyday Woman Series. For years, Kiera felt loads of shame over her non-linear lifestyle and felt pressured to "figured it all out" by her mid-20s. However, this narrative changed the moment she discovered Human Design, a holistic self-knowledge system that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah and Vedic philosophy. Human Design empowered Kiera to live authentically and to become her happiest and most successful self. Today, Kiera is a Human Design Reader and the host of Meeting Your Magic podcast, a show that uses Human Design as a blueprint to help listeners master their energy, eliminate resistance, and step into divine flow.
