Episode takeaways: Our home significantly impacts our feelings and energy. Decluttering can lead to mental clarity and a sense of peace. Safety and security are fundamental reasons why we value our homes. Transforming our perspective on home can enhance our living experience. Effort is essential in maintaining a harmonious living space. The energy of a home can affect the well-being of its inhabitants. Creating a homely atmosphere is about balance and comfort. A home should be a place of comfort, not a showpiece.

What does it mean to advocate or stand up for yourself, and why do we struggle to do it? We discuss our personal experiences, the role of parenting in fostering self-advocacy, and the importance of authentic communication.

Join us for a conversation exploring the concept of the Penta within Human Design, focusing on how it influences family and small group dynamics. We discuss the importance of understanding individual roles within a Penta, the impact of conditioning on these dynamics, and how the Penta can also be applied in business settings.

No one likes to be judged, and as we have discovered in this conversation, there are different layers of how it impacts ourselves, others, and society. A few takeaways: Judgment is a typical human behavior, but it can have adverse effects on individuals and relationships. Becoming aware of one's own judgment is the first step towards moving beyond it. Self-compassion and forgiveness are essential in overcoming judgment towards oneself and others. Asking questions and seeking understanding can help shift from judgment to compassion. Breaking free from judgment requires open-mindedness and a willingness to challenge conditioned beliefs.

We explore why it is so hard for people to do the things they love. The key takeaways from this conversation: Fear of failure and imposter syndrome are common reasons why people find it hard to do the things they love. Having support and encouragement from others is crucial in pursuing one's passions. Conditioning and societal expectations can hold us back from doing what we love. Understanding and honoring individual differences is important in finding fulfillment. Work and play can coexist, and doing what you love can be both enjoyable and financially rewarding.

We talk about the importance of understanding what Sunny believes are the 'Vital 5' of your Human Design chart. These include type, strategy/authority, profile, digestion, and environment.

In this episode, we chat with our special guest, Steph Morfea, about how human design can change the corporate world. Steph is a 4/6 Emotional Manifestor who helps people get to know themselves better using Human Design, providing clients with innovative insights into their professional and personal growth. Steph, also the co-creator of Sia Morer By Design, runs workshops for companies, teaching teams how to work together better by understanding each person’s unique style. After 15 years working in corporate, Steph aims to revolutionise the business landscape by integrating innovative perspectives into management. Episode takeaways: Human design can be a powerful tool for individuals to understand themselves more deeply. The corporate world needs to shift towards personalisation and create work environments that allow individuals to work in a way that aligns with their strengths. Employees should be empowered to express their needs and desires in the workplace. The current nine-to-five model may not suit everyone, and alternative work arrangements should be considered. The application of Human Design in the corporate world has the potential to revolutionize the way businesses operate. Incorporating human design into team dynamics can enhance understanding of individual needs and preferences in the workplace. Understanding emotional waves can help employees manage triggers and improve communication. Recognizing different working preferences can lead to more effective team structures and happier employees. Long-term support and check-ins are crucial for businesses to sustain the impact of human design workshops. Implementing even a few key human design principles can significantly improve team dynamics and overall business success. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Steph at: Steph Morfea / Human Design (@steph_morfea) Sia Morer: www.siamorer.com Sia Morer - Bianca & Steph - Workplace Wellness & Human Design (@sia.morer)

In this conversation, we pose the question, "Is Personal Development Bullshit?" We share our own experiences and thoughts on the topic, as well as exploring: Some people see personal development as 'scammy' and a way for people to make quick money. The resistance to personal development. Social media and societal pressures that are influencing us. How Human Design offers a different approach to personal development, focusing on self-discovery and understanding one's unique design.

What would you say if someone told you to put your hands on your body and listen to it? In this conversation, we discuss why it's so important to be empowered to listen and trust one's body and the challenges and misconceptions that can arise. We talk about: Being connected to oneself and one's body is vital to overall well-being and is essential for understanding and addressing health issues. Programming and conditioning play a significant role in shaping our beliefs about health and the body. Alternative and holistic approaches to health should be explored and considered alongside Western medicine.

We return back to talking about the topic of quitting alcohol and our personal journeys to date. Find out how Tiff is coping since giving up alcohol 5 months ago and what we are both experiencing, good and bad, since removing alcohol from our lives. "This is a conversation that we need to return back to" "Alcohol is a vice, it numbs or waters down the feelings that we're feeling" "I drank nearly a bottle of wine every single night"

This conversation starts around a story Tiff shares about a recent experience she had in a school enrolment interview for her son and expands to explore: Supporting children in making decisions about their education that align with their interests and needs can lead to better outcomes. Children conforming to strict rules, such as wearing a school uniform, does not necessarily build self-discipline. Self-discipline should be connected to something that individuals care about and find beneficial. Trusting and knowing yourself is a key aspect of developing self-discipline. The traditional notion of discipline may have negative connotations and may not be the most effective approach to fostering growth and success.

This episode explores the concept of different perspectives and motivations within Human Design. We discuss: How Human Design variables (digestion, environment, view, and motivation) contribute to our uniqueness. Understanding one's perspective and motivation can reduce friction in relationships. Aligning with one's design can support both our own lives and have a positive effect on others.

This conversation explores the importance of understanding human design variables, specifically digestion and environment. We talk about: Understanding human design variables like digestion and environment can greatly improve our wellbeing. Environment preferences become more relevant in adulthood, but parents can still create supportive environments for their children. Aligning with our unique design and implementing the knowledge of our variables can profoundly affect our health.

We talk about instant gratification and the expectation of getting things quickly in today's world. Join us for a conversation about: In today's world, there is a strong expectation of instant gratification, but this mindset can lead to dissatisfaction and a constant search for the next thing. Understanding and embracing the journey is essential for finding true satisfaction and success in life. Human design types have different signatures that indicate when they are on the right track, but these feelings may not come instantly and require patience and alignment with one's design. The younger generation may have a different perspective on instant gratification due to their exposure to technology and a more open mindset. Seeking instant gratification in various areas of life, including human design readings, can lead to disappointment and unrealistic expectations. The magic of life lies in the journey, the process of finding answers, and the implementation of knowledge and experiences.

When someone first finds out about Human Design, they often ask, "So what am I?". This conversation explores the distinction between seeing ourselves as 'What Am I' and 'Who Am I.' We consider how beginning with 'what' can pave the way for deeper connections and a richer understanding of 'who' we and others are. A few takeaways you'll get from listening are: Knowing one's human design type provides a label or description of 'what' they are, but understanding the deeper layers of their design helps them better understand 'who' they are as individuals. Human design can support self-acceptance and a sense of connection to oneself. Understanding one's human design can enhance connections with others, providing a common language and a deeper understanding of each other's energy and aura. Knowing one's human design can benefit parenting, as it helps parents better understand and support their children based on their unique design. Human design offers answers and insights into one's energy, aura, and how they show up in the world.

In Human Design, Generator types make up approx. 70% of the population, and if they aren't living aligned with their design and feeling satisfied, it impacts everyone. In this conversation, we talk about: Generator types need to feel satisfied in their work and follow what feels right for them. Frustration and dissatisfaction can have a significant impact on a generator type's energy. Conditioning and people-pleasing tendencies can prevent generator types from prioritising their own needs and desires. Support and encouragement from others are crucial for them to make changes and live more aligned lives.

Have you ever found yourself thinking you need to be "qualified" to do something or being held back from doing something you want to do because you've been told you're not "qualified" to do it? In this episode, we talk about: The obsession with qualifications and certifications is often driven by conditioning and societal expectations. Qualifications do not guarantee competence or passion in a field. Trusting one's intuition and personal experience can be more valuable than relying solely on qualifications. Accessing knowledge and support from the community can be a powerful resource. Parents should trust their own judgment and prioritize their child's well-being over societal expectations.

In this conversation we discuss the subject of alcohol consumption among young people, questioning the common perception of teenage drinking as merely a "phase" and the myriad of influences shaping young people's attitudes towards alcohol, from the environments they navigate to the advertising that catches their eye and the behaviors modeled by older generations.

In this epsiode we continue our exploration of alcohol's role within our lives. We share personal reflections on the complex interplay between alcohol and our relationships with children, partners, friends, and parents, highlighting both the positive and negative aspects we've encountered. Our goal with these conversations on alcohol is not just to share our stories but to spark a broader dialogue about the realities of alcohol's impact on us all.

In this episode, we dive into a question that shapes our very existence. Join us as we explore the significance of this inquiry and the profound impact it has on our lives. We discuss the importance of self-responsibility, emphasizing how our choices and actions directly influence the path our life takes.
