If you have ever come across a person who has looked at their Human Design chart, they will likely tell you it has changed their life!! Fundamentally - it is a map to understand yourself FULLY, giving you a huge permission slip to do life the way you are uniquely designed to. Based on your date, time + place of birth Human Design (HD) uses Eastern + Western Astrology, Chinese I-Ching, Kabbala tree of life AND the Hindu Chakra System to chart your unique self. This is so you can understand who you were born to be + what you came to this planet to do! Caroline Southwell is a transformational specialist + Human Design Guru... in this epic in-depth chat we cover all of the basics of HD so we can better understand ourselves + decondition all that no longer serves us. Caroline shares that the simple starting point of HD is to look at Type, Strategy + Inner Authority – what does that even mean? I got you! There are 5 types of Human Design + a 'type' categorises how someone’s energy field interacts with the people around them. Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, Reflectors + Manifesting Generators - we dive into each type and specify what they are. Linked to your HD ‘type’ is something called ‘strategy’ this is what we need to do to stay in FLOW and it looks different for each type, in this part Caroline unveils for us some meaningful information on how you were born to BE in the world. Next in this HD episode we explore 'Inner Authority' – there are a handful of ways we are designed to make decisions + our 'Inner Authority' tells us what process helps us make the BEST one. NEWS FLASH - NONE of them are with the mind + we are not designed to have an outside authority telling us how to make our decisions, throw out your pro's + con's list because your unique decision making ability is inherently within. We break down each category from Emotional Solar Plexus, Sacral, Spleen, Ego Authority, Self Projected or Mental/None - an illuminating way to approach those BIG life decisions so it can feel "right" for you! This is an absolutely jam-packed episode to help you dip your toes into the Human Design pool + start to understand the different elements that make up your chart + what they mean. An incredibly powerful system to know as your HD chart can help to unpack some of the conditioning you received as a child + is also an extremely valuable tool to understand your loved ones, breeding a more compassionate approach to how someone else uniquely moves through life.

Your yoni is one of the most important relationships in your life, are you connected to it? In this episode of Quintessential Being I chat to Rosie Rees, a woman who shares my heart-centred message... Get off the self-love hamster wheel, it is time to embrace the self-acceptance revolution! See, we live in a society that feeds our need to be + do better, marketing companies capitalise on our deep desire for constant self-improvement + we as women can often feel exhausted from the sheer striving to UP-LEVEL. Ask me how I know this because (hands up – guilty!) Enter stage left Rosie Rees... none other than the MOST delicious Aussie babe on the planet, being naked + feeling pleasure is her JAM! The Founder of Yoni Pleasure Palace + Women’s nude yoga, she created a leading online boutique selling yoni eggs + crystal sex toys... her rap is radical self-acceptance, feminine expression + being vulnerable. Amen Sista! We get down + dirty about dextrous vaginas, waking up your sexual centre and exploring nakedness on every level. Rosie uncovers for us the small practices that get you closer to your soul, forging a bond with yourself that allows the shedding of masks and disarms the subtle but vicious voice within talking all things body image. We go through Rosie’s rundown of what crystals can and can’t be used inside your body for both healing + pleasure as she describes an utterly different type of orgasmic experience that opens your heart + leaves you charged + cleansed! We dive deep about what brought her to living in a rainbow family model, giving us the Ashley + Rosie love story plus the huge distinction between confidence + courage that will rock your world.

Have you ever listened to someone speak and it was like listening to poetry in motion? That is Julie Tenner, the pleasure nutritionist. She is an enchanting goddess who fervently believes that feminine energy is the source of life... that it’s rejuvenation + replenishment. The holy grail. Courageously willing to look beyond her story of managing life as a modern woman with success + family meant a pivotal point of transformation emerged. She absorbed all her wounds of resentment + exhaustion to bubble up her sacred feminine nature into the greatest gift.

She believes that by co-creating with the universe in this way we can complete our embodiment of feminine life force. She shares with us that by embracing the beam of light that is creative, static energy + using sensuality as a pathway of discovery you can expand your capacity for love. To love. 'A supernova of feeling' she calls it. From Disney princesses to the art of adornment, we cover all the ways to amplify the light that is uniquely you and access more freedom + intimacy. If you’re ready to call in with magnetism exactly the type of abundance you seek in love + relationship, this episode is for you!

Have you ever wanted to hold the dichotomy of life with a little more grace? Does it feel like duality is ripping you in two sometimes? On this episode of Quintessential Being, I chat with Art Therapist and all round life-experience-expert Bel Ryan about normalising the fact that we often feel two completely opposing emotions at the same time and how art can help us with this. She explains the tension or conflict that can rise in our bodies as we intellectualise that and we unpack why the flow between, fear and positivity for example, is important to recognise and embrace whole-heartedly!
Bel Ryan loves nothing more than keeping things real and helping people with their life experiences and she does that in multiple ways. Bel is a Facilitator, Speaker, Mental Health Trainer, Art Therapist via her company Ignite Wellbeing Co.
In this episode you'll also hear about:
- what questions to ask yourself in the moment to give yourself more space and compassion to be human

There is no denying that body image is at the forefront of our societal culture with photo shopping, special filters and air-brushing a common occurrence to project perfection when posting our pictures online! In this fast paced, instant gratification world of Instagram and Facebook – it is all too easy to get swept up in the need to look flawless. But what is this costing us not only personally, but as a collective of women? Isn’t it time to stop and put down the injectables, the lifts, the procedures and beauty products that perpetuate the feeling that we just aren’t quite good enough as we are?! I believe YES and the ripples of change have begun... telling a different story, one that embraces all that is real + authentic. One that is vulnerable and honest, but most importantly bestows upon us the deep-seated belief of acceptance, beauty and uninhibited JOY!

Libby Tozer is the founder of the She Is Me Movement – a collective of women celebrating womanhood through stories and photography. Libby - an author, photographer and writer was frustratingly sick and tired of women shaming their bodies... witnessing all too often, girls as young as 12 crying in change rooms when trying on bathers. Adamant to change this devastating narrative, for Libby it seemed a natural and organic progression to birth the ‘She Is Me Movement’. Inviting empowerment, self-acceptance, and love for Women to embrace their bodies in any and all stages of the life journey.

In this episode we;

🖤 unpack the trained dialogue and collective beliefs we embrace as little girls growing into women

🖤 unlock the secret ingredient to full self-love & acceptance as a collective

🖤 highlighting the importance that real bodies with all the lumps and bumps be on display so our children grow up surrounded by reality rather than distorted fantasy

A truly special episode with a magnificent big hearted soul sharing her truth & wisdom!

Tantrums. Back chat. Sleepless nights. Constantly wondering if your kids are ACTUALLY deaf because they never seem to hear a word you say... Aahhhhh parenting, don't you just love it?! In the tough moments our kids can make us question the very essence of ourselves. We so often think our child's behaviour reflects our inherent value, forming a direct connection between how they act with who we are as a person. This leads to constant stress, worry, anger, frustration and even sadness.
But what if we looked at all these behaviours through a different lens... one that told us that their behaviour is just a form of communication? Albeit an annoying one! This form of communication tells us needs are not being met, and this lens helps up seperate our story from that of our child's so that instead of defending and justifying our reactions, we approach their cry for help cool, calm and collected. Jackie Hall from the Parental Stress Centre joins us to share some of her experience of early Motherhood... feelings of overwhelm and absolute failure that propelled her into a career helping other parents leave the shame, guilt and fear behind to embrace the experience of raising the littles!

Quintessential Being - Surrendering into the genius of femme fire with Jay Kimber
play

03/06/20 • 40 min

Femininity is a word that gets bandied around as often as the latest on-trend super food... but what does it really mean to truly embody your Femme Goddess? To step into the sovereignty of pleasure + understand the essential teachings it gifts us? Jay Kimber is an entrepreneur of health, beauty, wellness & dance. She facilitates women to dive into the juicy and deeply transformational truth of getting comfortable with the burn of desire to harness the power of the feminine. Jay declares sensuality + sexuality helps us create what it is we want in life... and that embodying the sacred feminine is the magnetism we need to bring about new ways in business, life + love!
In this episode we chat about living from the inside out, examining the essence of feminine + masculine energies to journey through the process of surrender. Setting alight the femme fire helps us trust in timing, allowing ourselves to be guided not by goals but pleasure – a universally new place to be in business + life. Navigating through this is not without its challenges though, hitting up against the masculine energy in not only the outside world but in the inner sanctum helps us sort the valuable from the toxic traits. We delve into the significance of deepening into play + how to lean into it (because we all know how tough that can be as an adult!) and interestingly how playing can illuminate the aspects of life we often shy away from... shadows, death, life + loss. Lastly, Jay gives us a practical guide to map our centre + how we can connect to that untapped resource for fierce implementation of our most potent desires, leaving us with a great practice to do at home.
