Living Your Design: Human Design, Gene Keys & the Path Back to Your True Self

What if the patterns you’ve spent your life trying to “fix” are actually doorways back to who you truly are?

In this episode, I’m joined by Human Design expert, master coach, and host of the globally recognised Human Design Podcast, Emma Dunwoody. Known for making Human Design and the Gene Keys practical, accessible, and deeply transformative, Emma bridges ancient wisdom systems with modern psychology to help people live in alignment with their authentic nature.

Together, we explore how conditioning shapes our emotional responses, decision-making, and sense of self — and how systems like Human Design and the Gene Keys can support a return to inner authority, clarity, and embodied truth.

This is a grounded, spacious conversation about healing beyond self-improvement, and learning to trust the intelligence already living within the body.

In this episode, we explore:

• What Human Design really is — and how it differs from personality typing

• How the Gene Keys reveal the path from shadow to gift through awareness and compassion

• The impact of conditioning on our nervous system, emotions, and life choices

• Why embodiment is essential for real transformation

• How to make aligned decisions without overthinking

• Moving out of “who you were shaped to be” and into authentic self-expression

• Practical ways to begin living your design in everyday life
