053 | Why You Keep Triggering Each Other (Even When You're Being "Nice") - Relationship Physics Series pt 2
What if I told you that your nervous system is constantly broadcasting like a radio station, and your partner's body is tuning into that frequency and responding to it before you even speak? In this episode, I'm diving deep into the invisible force that's shaping every interaction in your relationship - the law of energetic transmission. This is about how your cells and nervous system are listening and responding 24/7, picking up on energy that's happening beneath your conscious awareness. You'll hear my raw story about how my Gene Key 12 Shadow of Vanity almost sabotaged my relationship with Christian in the early days - how I was terrified of losing my independence and actually told him his grounding energy felt "too much" for my hypervigilant nervous system. I'm also sharing how understanding Christian's Gene Key 60 (Shadow of Limitation) completely shifted how I respond when he brings up obstacles, instead of making him the problem. If you've ever wondered why the same conversation can go completely sideways one day and beautifully the next, this episode reveals the energetic mechanics happening underneath that have nothing to do with your words. 🔥 What We're Covering: How your nervous system processes 11 million bits of information per second (while your brain only catches 5%) Why dysregulation creates more dysregulation and how to interrupt the cycle The real reason you can feel someone's bad day before they tell you How my Open Sacral responded to Christian's pure Generator energy (and why I almost pushed him away) Gene Key 12: Moving from the Shadow of Vanity to the Gift of Discrimination Gene Key 60: Understanding the Shadow of Limitation and Gift of Realism in relationships Why triggers are actually sacred information your body is giving you How to take responsibility for your energetic transmission without taking on your partner's emotions The truth is... Your body is constantly broadcasting and receiving energy that creates the emotional climate of your relationship. You can say the exact same words in two different conversations and get completely different responses based on your energetic state. Once you understand this invisible language, you stop wondering why conversations go sideways and start taking conscious responsibility for the frequency you're transmitting.

052 | From Business Burnout to Conscious Creation: How Human Design Saved Lauren Farrow's Life & Business
What if the burnout you're experiencing isn't a sign that something's wrong with you, but proof that you're trying to force yourself into an energetic design that was never meant for you?! In this episode, I'm sitting down with my new friend Lauren Farrow, an Emotional Projector who went from collapsing on the London Underground after grueling TV production days to building a thriving business that honors her energetic design. You'll hear Lauren's raw story of how she discovered Human Design through her sister's gift on her 30th birthday, and the exact moment she realized she'd been labeling herself as "indecisive" and "non-committal" when she was actually just honoring her emotional authority. Lauren also breaks down the massive 2027 shift we're all moving through - from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix - and why this explains the collective discomfort and uncertainty we're all feeling right now. If you've been pushing yourself to be consistent in ways that drain you or questioning why you can't seem to commit like everyone else, this conversation will give you permission to define success on your own energetic terms. 🔥 What We're Covering: How Lauren went from TV production burnout to conscious creation entrepreneur using Human Design Why Projectors burn out when they try to match Generator/Manifesting Generator energy The difference between commitment and consistency (and why you get to define both) How an undefined Heart Center and Spleen Center created constant need to prove herself Working with emotional authority as a Self-Projected Projector in business and relationships The 2027 collective shift from tribal planning to individualized expression Gene Key 29: Moving from half-heartedness to true commitment and devotion How to align your business strategy with your energetic design instead of copying others The truth is... Most of us are trying to succeed using strategies designed for different energy types. When you understand your unique energetic blueprint, you stop forcing yourself into systems that deplete you and start creating from a place of sustainable alignment. Your "inconsistency" might actually be your intuitive wisdom guiding you away from what's not meant for you. Connect with Lauren on IG @whatsthesoultruth She's currently recording an audio series about the 2027 shift and offers one-to-one consultancies for aligning your business with your Human Design! ⚡ Want to Dive Deeper Into Your Human Design?

051 | The Invisible Forces That Makes or Breaks Love That You've Never Even Heard Of- Until Now! - Relationship Physics Series pt 1
Would you believe me if I told you that relationships actually operate by the same laws as physics? Like, there are invisible forces constantly at play that either create magnetic attraction or complete energetic flatness, and most of us are totally unconscious of what we're broadcasting and receiving. In this episode, I'm revealing the invisible mechanics that are either igniting passion or slowly draining the life out of your connection - and why you can feel so energetically mismatched even when you love each other deeply. This isn't about learning better communication techniques or trying to force love into one simple box. This is about understanding the three distinct energetic channels that are running in your relationship 24/7, and how to consciously work with these invisible forces instead of being unconscious victims of them. You'll hear about my 13-year relationship where we felt like complete roommates despite loving each other, and the specific moment I realized we were energetically mismatched on multiple levels - both stuck in the same frequency with zero polarity. I'm also sharing how understanding these three channels completely transformed my relationship with Christian, and why this invisible language your relationship is always speaking changes everything once you can see it. If you've been feeling disconnected but can't name exactly what's wrong, this episode will help you diagnose exactly which energetic channel needs your attention first. 🔥 What We're Covering: The Law of Energetic Dimensions - why your relationship operates on three completely different frequencies at once The three energetic channels (emotional, sexual, spiritual) and how they create connection or disconnection Masculine and feminine energetic expressions within each channel (and why these aren't gender-specific) How to diagnose energetic mismatches instead of just saying "we need better communication" Why you can love someone deeply but feel zero sexual charge (and what to do about it) The specific signs that you're both embodying the same energy instead of creating polarity How to consciously switch between energetic expressions to create magnetic attraction Why spiritually aware women often feel like they're outgrowing their relationships (and the real solution) The truth is... Most relationship advice treats connection like it's one thing. But your body is constantly picking up on these invisible mechanics - emotional flow versus holding, sexual surrender versus claiming, spiritual devotion versus consciousness. When all three channels are dancing together in polarity, you create this incredible energetic current that feels like magic. When they're mismatched, you get that disconnect feeling even when you can't name why. Xx, KD 💞Grab your free 3-Channel Relationship Assessment!

050 | The 3-Step Practice for Speaking Truth Without Attacking Your Partner or Abandoning Yourself
What if the hardest conversations in your relationship were actually the gateway to the deepest intimacy you've ever experienced? In this episode, I'm getting real about the conversation I had with Christian a few months ago that could have destroyed our connection—but instead became one of our most beautiful moments of closeness. This isn't about perfect communication scripts or avoiding conflict altogether. This is about what happens when you finally stop choosing between your truth and your relationship—and start choosing both. You'll hear about the "sheets story" that triggered every wound I carried from my previous 13-year relationship, and how I learned to speak from my heart instead of from my hurt. I'm also sharing the exact 3-step practice I used to keep my heart open while delivering a hard truth that needed to be said. The same practice my clients are using to transform their relationships from defensive battlegrounds into conscious partnerships. If you've been walking on eggshells or exploding with months of built-up resentment, this episode will show you there's a third option that creates what you actually want: to be seen, heard, and felt. What We're Covering: • The nervous system check that prevents you from weaponizing your intelligence when you're triggered• How to take responsibility for your role without abandoning your needs or making yourself wrong• The values alignment practice that makes having hard conversations inevitable (in the best way)• Why cultivating safety within yourself is the key to your partner staying open during conflict• The somatic communication approach that leads with vulnerability instead of blame• The difference between speaking from your wound vs. speaking from your heart (and how to tell which one you're doing) The truth is... You can't do this work in theory. You can't regulate your nervous system from your head. Your relationship is showing you exactly where you still have room to grow—and until you face that mirror with radical honesty, you'll keep creating the same patterns with different people. Ready to Go Deeper? If you're ready to stop choosing between your truth and your relationship, I have a free guide that will support you in staying grounded while you speak what's really on your heart. It's the Body Wisdom Guide. Inside, you get the body map showing where fear lives versus where knowing lives—so you can tell if you're speaking from love or from wound. You get the 60-second practice for checking in before you respond. And you learn the generational pattern that taught you to override yourself in the first place. This is how you speak truth from your heart instead of from your hurt. Grab Yours Here Love this episode? Screenshot this and share it to your stories - tag me @iamkaijadawn!

049 | Why Needing to Win An Argument Destroys Your Relationship And What to Do Instead
Being right killed my first marriage. Not the big stuff. Not infidelity or abuse or incompatibility. The slow death that came from me needing to win every argument, having receipts for every disagreement, using my understanding of psychology and nervous systems to prove I was the more conscious one. I'd win the fight. He'd say "you're right, I'm sorry." And intimacy would die a little more each time because when someone always has to be wrong, they stop bringing you their truth. In this episode, I'm breaking down the addiction to being right - why your nervous system treats disagreement as survival threat, the actual chemical reward you get from "winning," and what it costs you in connection. I'm also sharing the exact practice that helped me shift from destroying relationships with my need to be correct to choosing devotion to love instead. If you've ever felt that desperate urgency to make someone understand your perspective RIGHT NOW, this episode will show you what's actually happening in your body - and how to choose differently. What We're Covering: Why being right feels like literal survival to your nervous system The dopamine hit that makes you addicted to winning arguments What happens in your brain when you're activated (hint: empathy goes offline) How dysregulation creates more dysregulation between partners The signs you're activated and need to pause before you destroy connection The exact phrases that shift conflict from combat to connection What your partner actually needs from you (it's not perfect solutions or for you to be right) The Truth: You cannot create connection from a disconnected state. When your prefrontal cortex goes offline and you're in fight mode, your only goal is defeating the perceived threat - which is your partner's different perspective. Your nervous system state determines how your words land, not the words themselves. Intimacy dies when someone always has to be wrong. The wedge gets deeper every time you prioritize being right over being connected. Regulate Before You Respond👇 Download the free Body Wisdom Guide - includes the 60-second practice for checking in with your body before you respond, how to tell activation from intuition, and how to stay grounded when conflict shows up.

048 | You're Not Overreacting- You've Just Been Taught To Override Your Body's Wisdom
Here's a question nobody asked me when I was in the deepest crisis of my life: What do YOU want? Instead, I got "just pray about it" and "God has a plan" and "marriage is hard." I was asking everyone - my mom, my friends, my therapist, even God - what I should do about my relationship. Meanwhile, my body was shutting down systems trying to get me to listen. At 23, I woke up completely deaf in my right ear. The doctors said it was sudden sensorineural hearing loss. I knew exactly what it was: my body taking away the one sense I kept using to seek everyone else's permission instead of trusting what I already knew. In this episode, I'm sharing that story and the pattern underneath it - how women are trained from childhood to question their own reactions, seek external validation, and override their body's wisdom. And why "Am I overreacting?" is the red flag that you're about to abandon yourself. What We're Covering: How religious and cultural conditioning taught you to distrust your body's signals Why "overreacting" is gaslighting language designed to make you question valid feelings The setup that keeps you doubting yourself: feel something → express it → get told you're too sensitive → apologize for having needs What your body is actually reading when someone calls you dramatic (hint: accurate information they don't want to acknowledge) The exact reframe that stops the self-abandonment cycle Why your body will eventually make the choice for you if you keep overriding it The Truth: You weren't born needing everyone else's opinion before trusting your own. You were trained to seek external answers instead of internal knowing. Every time you ask "Am I overreacting?" you're prioritizing someone else's comfort over your own truth. Your body isn't hysterical - it's a highly sophisticated system reading people and environments with more accuracy than your conscious mind. The whispers will become screams. And if you ignore the screams, your body will shut something down to make you finally listen. Learn to Trust Your Body: Download the free Body Wisdom Guide - get the map of where fear vs. knowing lives in your body, the 60-second check-in practice, and the questions to ask when you need clarity. If I'd had this 12 years ago, I might still have my hearing. You don't have to wait for your body to shut something down. Grab Yours Here 🎁 Special Announcement: 50th Episode Giveaway!

047 | Where Fear Lives vs. Where Knowing Lives in Your Body And How To Tell The Difference
You've been taught to distrust the one thing that's been trying to protect you all along: your body. Every time that stomach drops, every time your chest gets tight, every time your shoulders creep up to your ears - you've probably labeled it as anxiety, overthinking, or "being too sensitive." But here's what nobody tells you: your body speaks two completely different languages, and confusing them is what keeps you stuck second-guessing everything. In this episode, I'm breaking down the physical geography of fear versus knowing. Not the spiritual woo-woo version - the actual sensations in your actual body that you can learn to read like a map. Because once you know where each one lives and what it's asking you to do, you stop abandoning yourself every time something feels hard. I'm sharing the moment in my marriage when I genuinely couldn't tell if I was losing my mind or if my body was screaming truth at me. Spoiler: it was truth. But I'd spent so long being told I was "too much" that I talked myself out of it for years. What We're Covering: The specific body locations where fear shows up (and why it's so loud) Where your intuition actually speaks from (hint: it's way quieter) The one question that instantly tells you which one you're feeling Why fear demands immediate action while knowing can wait How to stop seeking external validation when your gut already knows The difference between "I'm anxious" and "I'm receiving important information" The Truth: Your body isn't broken. Your nervous system isn't overreacting. You've just been reading the signals wrong. Fear lives in your head and chest - frantic, spinning, desperate for relief. Knowing lives in your belly - calm, grounded, certain even when it's uncomfortable. One makes you want to act frantically. The other makes you want to pause deeply. Learn the difference and you'll never abandon yourself again. Want the Body Map?

046 | How To Know When It's Time To Leave or Stay In Your Relationship (And My Biggest Fear About This)
What if the relationship that needs the most work isn't the one you're in - it's the one you have with yourself? In this episode, I'm sharing my biggest fear about the work I do with women - that teaching you to trust yourself might lead you to leave your relationship prematurely, before you've done the real work. This isn't a "stay at all costs" message or a "leave and find better" story. This is about what happens when you finally stop avoiding the uncomfortable truth of your role in the dynamic and start taking radical responsibility for how you show up. You'll hear about my 13-year relationship, the year and a half between hitting rock bottom (miscarriage, going deaf, complete burnout) and finally leaving, and the brutal honesty that changed everything. I'm sharing what I wasn't doing - the ways I was managing, accommodating, and people-pleasing instead of actually communicating my truth. I'm also revealing how I knew it was truly time to leave - and why doing the work first meant I could walk away with zero regrets and total clarity. If you've been wondering whether you should stay or go, this episode will help you ask the right question first. What We're Covering: What "doing the work" actually means (hint: it's not just reading books and going to therapy) The three core components of real relationship work: internal safety, radical responsibility, and truth-telling Why your relationship is your laboratory - and leaving too soon means repeating patterns How to communicate from your truth instead of your wounds Signs it's time to stay and do the work vs. signs it's time to leave The question that changes everything: "Have I shown up fully, communicated my truth radically, and taken responsibility for my role?" Why I can show up differently with Christian - not because he's "better," but because I transformed myself first The truth is... You can't do this work in theory. You can't heal in a vacuum. Your relationship is showing you exactly where you still have room to grow - and until you face that mirror, you'll carry the same patterns into your next relationship. 🎁 Special Announcement: 50th Episode Giveaway!

045 | How I Created Safety In An Unsafe Relationship (And Ended It With Love)
What if the safety you're searching for outside of yourself has been waiting inside of you all along? In this episode, I'm getting deeply personal about the hardest chapter of my life - the moment I realized I was severely malnourished in my marriage and the specific practices that brought me home to myself. This isn't a "how to leave your relationship" story. This is about what happens when you finally stop making someone else responsible for your emotional state and start cultivating the kind of internal safety that transforms everything. You'll hear about the body signals I'd been ignoring, the daily practices that helped me fall in love with myself while my world was falling apart, and how creating energetic boundaries saved my sanity. I'm also sharing what actually shifted - how my anxiety decreased, my relationship with my ex became more spacious and honest, and how I eventually attracted the conscious partnership I have now with Christian. If you've been waiting for permission to trust your body's wisdom over everyone else's opinions, this episode is for you. What We're Covering: How to read your body's signals as sacred data instead of problems to fix The practice of giving yourself the nourishment you've been lacking Why energetic boundaries are non-negotiable when you're still in a draining environment Daily check-ins that helped me come home to myself: What do I want to feel today? What do I need to feel safe right now? How radical self-validation builds the trust you've been seeking externally What changed when I stopped making my partner responsible for my happiness The ripple effect of internal safety on every relationship in your life The truth is... You don't need more knowledge - you need to listen deeply. You don't need more resources - you ARE the resource. You don't need someone else to make you feel safe - you have to cultivate that within yourself first. Ready to Go Deeper? Gene Keys Book Club is where we do the shadow work that transforms relationships at the root.

044 | From Feeling Like a Burden to Creating Confidence, Peace, and Breakthroughs in Relationships with Adrian Wegeng-Frank
What if the thing keeping you stuck in your relationship struggles isn't lack of communication skills or therapy techniques - but the fact that you're trying to do it all alone? Today's conversation is raw, real, and incredibly timely. I'm sitting down with my friend and client Adrian, a fitness studio owner here in Durango, who's walking the path so many of you are on right now - using Human Design and Gene Keys to create deeper understanding in her relationships while navigating the very real fear of being "too much" or a burden. What We're Diving Into: This conversation goes places. We're talking about: How Human Design changed the way Adrian shows up in her partnership Using Gene Keys to create compassion instead of judgment with your kids The transformation that happens when you finally ask for support instead of suffering in silence Why your intuition knows things your mind is still trying to rationalize Parenting according to your child's design (not your expectations) The burden myth that keeps high-achieving women isolated in their struggles Key Moments You Don't Want to Miss: On Relationship Energetics: Adrian shares how understanding her partner's design helped her stop taking his responses personally and start seeing them as his natural way of processing. On Intuitive Knowing: The moment she knew something needed to shift - and how her body was screaming what her mind was still debating. On Asking for Support: Why she almost didn't reach out, what finally made her take that step, and the breakthrough that happened because she did. On Parenting with Design: How knowing her kids' charts transformed her from frustrated to fascinated by their behaviors. If you've ever felt like you're the only one doing the inner work in your relationship, or if you've convinced yourself that asking for help means you're weak or needy, this episode is your permission slip. Adrian's story is proof that the women who are brave enough to reach out for support are the ones who actually create the transformation they're seeking. Connect with Adrian: YO!

041 | Repair, Boundaries, and Healing After Betrayal in Your Relationship with Kylene Terhune
Picture this: You're sitting with your partner doing something as mundane as canceling subscription charges when you stumble across apps on their phone that make your stomach drop. In one moment, the person you trusted completely becomes a stranger. The life you thought you were living? Turns out it was happening alongside a completely different reality you knew nothing about. Last week, I talked to Kylene Terhune, who lived this exact nightmare and then turned it into the most transformational healing of her life. Kylene is a betrayal recovery coach who discovered her husband's 10-year cyber addiction during a routine budget conversation. Her entire reality shattered in one moment. But instead of letting it destroy them, they used it to rebuild something even stronger. We're diving into the uncomfortable truths about recovery, why feeling worse after your partner gets sober is completely normal, and the non-negotiable ingredients for actual healing. You'll Discover: Why betrayed partner recovery and addict recovery happen on completely different timelines The difference between empathy and boundaries (and why you need both) What 100% commitment actually looks like (spoiler: 99% won't cut it) The subconscious work that creates lasting transformation beyond traditional therapy Connect with Kylene: Podcast: RecoverUInstagram: @kyleneterhune Loved this episode?

038 | How to Parent Your Kiddo(s) According to Their Human Design Pt 1: Type & Strategy
I KNOW you want to be the kind of parent who truly sees and understands your child for who they really are. Not who you think they should be, or who would be easier to manage, but who they're actually designed to be at their core.   Most of us are parenting the way we were parented - with one-size-fits-all approaches that worked for some kids but left others feeling misunderstood, pushed too hard, or not supported in the right ways.   But you know what's amazing?   You have access to something our parents didn't - a roadmap to understanding your child's unique energy and how to work with it instead of against it. This is cutting-edge parenting that honors who your kiddo actually is.   In today's episode, I'm sharing how to parent according to your child's Human Design. We're covering all 5 Energy Types, their strategies, and real-life examples you can start using today to create more connection, understanding, and harmony in your home.   You'll discover how to support your Manifestor child's need for freedom, why your Generator kiddo needs to respond rather than be told what to do, and how to honor your Projector's natural wisdom without overwhelming them.   This approach has completely transformed how I parent my daughter. Instead of trying to fit her into my expectations, I get to witness and support who she's meant to be. The same shift is waiting for you and your family.   Xx,   KD Want the Full Transformation?   Join my Gene Keys Book Club where we dive deep into understanding your family's unique designs and how to create harmony from the inside out.   Your family's transformation is waiting!   This one changed your parenting game?   Screenshot your biggest takeaway and tag me in your stories!   Remember to hit subscribe for more conscious parenting wisdom.

Ever notice how we can sabotage the very things we want most?   That was me, literally trying to break up with my soulmate because my Gene Keys shadows were convinced I was "protecting" myself.   The plot twist?

035 | 3-Step Framework for Having the Hard Conversations You've Been Avoiding To Deepen Your Relationship
You know that feeling when your partner asks "what's wrong?" and you can literally feel the truth about how lonely you've been feeling sitting heavy in your chest - about how scared and unsupported you've been feeling - but instead you just smile and say, "Nothing, I'm fine."...?   You've become a master at swallowing what matters most, convincing yourself it's not the right time, or that maybe if you just work on yourself more, these feelings will magically disappear.   Here's what's actually happening: Every time you choose silence over truth, you're not just avoiding conflict - you're teaching your nervous system that your authentic truth is dangerous.   And your body? It's keeping a running tab of every unexpressed emotion.   In today's episode, I'm sharing my 3-step framework for breaking this cycle and finally having the conversations that will set you free.   We're talking about the internal work that has to happen first, how to own your truth without blame, and the way to communicate that actually brings you closer together.   You'll discover why your body rebels when you stay quiet, the game-changing reframe that removes all the drama from difficult conversations, and exactly how to speak from your heart instead of your fear.   If you're ready to speak your truth and create the deep connection you've been craving, this episode will change everything.   Xx,   KD   Ready to Go Even Deeper?   My Gene Keys Book Club is exactly where we unpack the root of why speaking up feels so dangerous and how to heal these patterns at the source. We're diving into your conditioning, your relationship blueprints, and the unconscious programming that keeps you small.   The women in this space are learning to trust themselves completely, communicate without fear, and create the soul-deep connections they've always wanted. Zero guesswork - just deep work with incredible support.   🌟 Your spot is waiting!   Feeling seen after this one?   Share  your biggest takeaway with me me on Instagram at @iamkaijadawn.
