In this episode, Kim and Louise are joined by their guest Mel McSherry. With over 14 years of entrepreneurial experience and a rich background in business coaching and Human Design, Mel brings a wealth of knowledge and personal insights to our discussion. We dive into the transformative power of Human Design and how understanding one’s unique energy blueprint can revolutionize both personal and professional lives. Mel shares their journey of self-redefinition during their divorce and how human design has given them a deeper understanding of themselves and their clients. Join us as we explore the essence of self-trust, the importance of holding space for personal growth, and why traditional frameworks often fall short for so many. Whether you’re curious about Human Design, seeking a more aligned life, or simply looking for empowering conversations, this episode celebrates the journey toward self-empowerment and authenticity.

“Human Design is your why behind your how. It’s about understanding what works for you personally—not just following someone else’s rules.” - Mel McSherry

Key Takeaways:

• You Are Your Own Guide: Trust your inner wisdom. Everything you need to answer the call of your soul is already inside you—your job is to uncover and honor it.
• Empowerment Starts with Self-Awareness: Empowerment is about connecting to who you are at your core.
• Listen to the ‘Pings’: Those intuitive nudges—or “pings”—are your body’s way of signaling what’s aligned. Lean into what feels right, and don’t be afraid to pause, recalibrate, or wait when something feels off.
• Redefine Success: Success doesn’t have to be defined by external metrics. For some, true success is satisfaction, fulfillment, or inner peace. Knowing what resonates with you creates a life and career that feels authentic and sustainable.
• Personal Development is a Cellular Journey: Growth starts deeply within, even at a cellular level. Learn to trust your body’s wisdom to lead you, reminding yourself that you’re already designed for the journey you’re on.
• Be the Driver of Your Life: Moving from passenger to driver in your own life means reclaiming your power. Trusting yourself allows you to navigate each choice with confidence and clarity.
