You’re Designed for More: Human Design, Potential & Realignment with Akary Busto

In this episode of From the Ashes, I sat down with Human Design and nervous system guide Akary Busto  for an open, honest, and eye-opening conversation about how Human Design can help you reconnect with your true nature and unlock your full potential. To make the most out of listening to this episode, I highly recommend downloading your free personal Human Design chart at https://uhkare.com/  Akary didn’t start her journey in the wellness world—she was an international banker. But it wasn’t until she began facing the physical and emotional effects of her own trauma that she discovered the power of Human Design and somatic healing. What began as a personal search for clarity became a mission to help others regulate, realign, and remember who they truly are. And in this episode, she generously walks us through my own Human Design chart—offering real-time insight into some of my long-standing patterns, struggles, and gifts. You’ll hear us unpack the ways I’ve over-ridden my design in pursuit of success, and how I’m learning to realign with ease, clarity, and deep energetic truth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “too much,” “too sensitive,” or not built for the way the world moves—you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. You may just be out of alignment with how you’re actually designed to operate This is a gentle, powerful invitation back to your body, your energy, and your truth.
