Human Design as a Tool for Returning to Yourself, Ease, and Abundance with Emma Dunwoody
This week's episode is on a topic that I cannot stop learning about/talking about/playing around with it etc - it's all about Human Design and I had the opportunity to be in conversation with one of the world’s leading educators on the topic, Emma Dunwoody who recently launched her book, Human Design Made Simple.
Human Design is a self-discovery umbrella system that encompasses the principles of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics to reveal how you’re uniquely wired energetically to make decisions, how you interact with others best, and how to best use your energy based on your birth time, birth location and birth date and we get to it in great detail in this episode.
To figure out what your Human Design is get your Human Design Chart HERE
In this episode, we're getting into Human Design as a tool for self understanding/acceptance, trusting when things feel easeful/downstream, following your own curiosities and of course we get into each one of the designs and practical next steps for each one.
Giveaway! We are giving away 2 copies of the book to 2 Active Ingredient listeners who rate and review the podcast on Apple/Spotify. All you have to do is send a screenshot of your review to my instagram @sophieiweill and DM me a pic of the screenshot to enter.

Boxing as a Tool to Physically Process Rage with Alberto Ortiz of Work Train Fight
59:25|This week's episode is all about the importance of acknowledging, confronting, processing and moving rage and/or anger through and out of the body. And we're specifically talking about doing this through the tool of boxing. I brought my boxing trainer on, Alberto Ortiz, who is the founder of Work Train Fight - a boxing gym in soho in New York where I have boxed with him for 10 years - to talk about what boxing is actually doing on a deeper level and how it's such a potent tool when it comes to processing tougher emotions, liberating yourself and becoming more and more aligned, integrated and embodied. In this episode we're talking about how boxing saves lives, why confronting your darker tougher emotions and parts of ourselves is so important and liberating, the importance of letting yourself be seen and using your voice, and why keeping you fighting spirit alive. For my New York listeners, Alberto let me know he is offering Active Ingredient listeners a complimentary 1:1 boxing session at his gym which is truly life changing. I simply cannot recommend it enough!

12:39|Here's a reminder solo on choosing to connect with the feeling and not holding so tightly onto what it looks like.

54:38|I love this episode !!!! We have Piera Gelardi back on the show for her second round talking all things play and her debut book, The Playful Way: Creativity, Connection and Joy Through Everyday Moments of Play. We're talking about how/why we forget our playful nature and how to slowly slowly return, we're talking cringe, vulnerability, how to lead with authenticity and so much more.

53:51|I'm joined by Tonya Papanikolov, founder of Rainbo, for a conversation on visibility, creativity, slowing down, building with integrity, and learning to trust yourself through every season of growth. We talk about the fear of being seen, what happens when life calls you inward, the tension between freedom and responsibility, feminine vs. masculine energy in business, aging, beauty, Human Design, and how to know when to stay the course vs. pivot. This felt less like an interview and more like two projectors having a very honest conversation about what it means to build a life and business that actually feels true.Active Ingredient listeners can get 15% off Rainbo with code ACTIVE.
