Kelsey is an Intuitive Human Design Reader and certified professional coach who is a manifesting generator - living her life by her design and finding (and helping others find) joy. Join us as we take a deep dive into the importance of understanding Human Design and using it to find your truth, break out of your cages, and find your own “awesome.” This is the permission you’ve been waiting for!   In This Episode:   [02:46] Kelsey’s journey from Marine Biologist to Human Design Reader/Coach [06:29] Training for triathlons as play?

Humans are not made for cages. We are not meant to be conformed to a box, labeled and distilled in a single way.  You have all the answers within you. However, it can take some digging to find them. A coach can help bring the answers right out of you, because those are the answers that are going to be true for you. Those are the ones that are going to be aligned with your soul. Telling the truth to yourself, the universe, and other people will lead you to finding your joy and following it.
