You keep asking yourself what your purpose is… But the more you search, the more lost you feel.You try to figure it out in your mind, through goals, plans, or what you think you should be doing. And yet, something still feels off. There is this quiet emptiness, like you are missing something important, even when life looks good on the outside.Hi, I am Astrid, a Human Design Embodiment Coach helping my clients create a reality where they give themselves permission to truly be themselves.In the Travel and Work with Human Design podcast, we explore what it means to live in alignment through Human Design, embodiment, and real life experiences, so you can stop overthinking your path and start trusting your body, your decisions, and your unique way of moving through the world.In this episode, you will discover why you cannot find your purpose and what actually brings you into alignment. The truth is, your purpose is not something you can think your way into. And the harder you look for it, the further away it seems.You will learn how to stop searching outside of yourself and start listening to your body, your inner authority, and your natural way of making decisions so your purpose can finally reveal itself.If this episode resonated with you and you are ready to go deeper into your alignment, I would love to invite you into my world.✨ Explore more and download your Human Design chart on my websitewww.palmtreemoments.com/chart✨ Come hang out with me on Instagram for daily insights, reflections, and [email protected]✨ And if you feel called to explore your unique design on a deeper level, you can book a matching call with me to see how we can work togetherI cannot wait to connect with you and support you on your journey back to yourself 🤍

What if the more you try to fix your shadow, the more you stay stuck in it?In this episode, I explore the powerful truth that where attention goes, energy flows, and how this shows up in your journey with the Gene Keys and your Human Design Experiment.The Gene Keys is a separate modality but is has the same roots as the Human Design System namely the Chinese I-Ching. As I am working more and more with the Gene Keys and the Art of Contemplation in my Women Circle the Mirror of Magnificence, I want to share my insight with you regarding the focus point between the Shadow, the Gift and the Siddhi frequency of this expression of you. Instead of constantly focusing on what needs to be healed or fixed, this episode invites you to shift your awareness toward the gift frequency that is already available within you.I share reflections on embodiment, nervous system awareness, travel, work, and identity, and how your lived experience is shaped by what you repeatedly give your attention to.If you’ve been deep in shadow work, self-development, or feeling like you’re looping in the same patterns, this conversation will offer a softer, more expansive perspective on growth and alignment.---More resources:www.genekeys.comwww.palmtreemoments.comDoes this episode resonates with you?

Does your Not-Self mind distort your reality?This episode explores how the Not-Self mind from the point of the Human Design system creates patterns of lack, fear, and attachment to outcomes. Thoughts that feel true can pull the body into emotional spirals, shaping experiences through conditioning rather than alignment.The mind searches for certainty, control, and validation, yet these patterns often lead to anxiety, self-doubt, and disconnection from inner authority. Attachment to outcomes keeps the focus outside, reinforcing the illusion of lack.This conversation brings awareness to these patterns and invites a shift toward emotional clarity, self-trust, and alignment with your true nature.If this episode resonated and you are ready to go deeper into your Human Design and deconditioning journey, a 1:1 matching call is available to explore the best way to support your next level of alignment.This is an opportunity to gain clarity on your design, your current challenges, and the path forward that truly works for you.Book your matching call here:https://calendly.com/palmtreemoments/matching-callGet your Free Human Design chart here: https://www.palmtreemoments.com/download-your-free-human-design-chart/Connect with me on Instagram: @palmtree.moments

What if the real thing holding you back isn’t your lifestyle, but the identity you refuse to let go of?In this episode, I’m talking about the moment you realize that the backpacker version of you no longer fits the life you’re living now.I had this realization when I returned to a place that used to feel like home during my backpacking days. But instead of feeling nostalgic, something felt off. And that’s when it clicked. I wasn’t that person anymore.If you’re living the digital nomad lifestyle, building a business, or simply stepping into a new level of yourself, you might still be holding onto the backpacker identity because it once represented freedom.But what once felt expansive can quietly become limiting.In this episode, I share what actually shifts when you outgrow that identity. Your energy, your standards, your environment, and your capacity for focus and stability.This is about letting go of chaos as your normal and creating a way of traveling and working that feels grounded, intentional, and sustainable.If something in your life feels misaligned, this might be the identity you’re being asked to release.If this episode resonated and you’re ready to create a digital nomad lifestyle that actually supports your energy and focus, I invite you into Hexagon of Freedom.Inside this coaching framework, I guide you through building a life and business through Human Design so you can travel, work, and live in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.And I would love to hear your story.If you’re moving through your own identity shift or this episode sparked something for you, you can share your voice with me here:https://www.speakpipe.com/palmtreemomentsYour story might be featured in a future episode.And if you enjoyed this episode, follow the podcast, share it with someone who needs to hear it, or leave a review.

This week, I’m taking you with me on a little journey back to Glastonbury, a place that feels like stepping into a different world. Walking through this mystical town, the heart of Avalon, I felt a deep sense of magic and healing in the air. It was here, surrounded by ancient lay lines and sacred sites like the Chalice Well and White Spring Temple, that I was reminded of something so simple yet so vital: our connection to water.As I drank straight from the sacred wells, I could feel how far we’ve drifted from nature. How much we’ve outsourced our trust and power to systems telling us what’s safe, instead of remembering our own connection to the earth. This episode is my travel diary entry for you: an invitation to reflect on how you get your water, how you use it, and how you can honor it as the very essence of life.Come along as I share what Glastonbury taught me about returning to the wildness within us and the sacredness of water that sustains us all.🎙️ I am curious to hear if this episodes sparked something in you.

In this short but sweet episode of The Self-Love Unlocked: Travel and Work with Human Design Podcast, your host Astrid, certified Human Design coach and founder of PalmTreeMoments.com, unpacks the concept of liminal space. This is the often uncomfortable transformative in-between phase where the real magic of self-discovery and deconditioning happens. Perhaps you recognize it from a phase in your life in between jobs. Or a phase between finishing a life long travel dream and figuring out the "what now phase". Or perhaps you decided to jump into the Digital Nomad Lifestyle, perhaps without a clear strategy of plan behind it...Is it really bad for your mental health to linger in the unknown? Astrid challenges this belief, inviting you to see how the spaciousness of liminal moments can redefine your values, realign your energy, and guide you towards more freedom, purpose, and abundance.Tune in and learn how to embrace uncertainty, tame your inner critic, and live a life designed by you, for you.💫 Listen now and start your journey of deconditioning:👉 PalmTreeMoments.com👉 Connect with Astrid on Instagram: @palmtree.moments👉 Subscribe and leave a review to help more soul-led adventurers find this podcast!

Remember the days of corporate life, where every move was scrutinized, and micromanagement was the norm? As a digital nomad, those rigid structures are a thing of the past, but over time, the freedom you once craved can become something you take for granted.When you’re focused on the daily grind, it’s easy to forget the constraints you left behind, the endless meetings, the lack of autonomy, the clock-watching. Without mindfulness, the freedom you now have as a digital nomad can lose its value, leading to complacency and a lack of gratitude for the lifestyle you worked so hard to achieve.In this episode I got triggered by a quote that spiralled me in a reflective mode. And my question to you is? Do you take your freedom for granted? I will explore why it’s important to stay connected to the reasons you chose this path, and how to rekindle your appreciation for the unparalleled freedom you enjoy as a digital nomad.Would you like to respond what came up for you in your reflection?

Got it! Here’s a strong Spotify introduction using the PAS (Problem-Agitate-Solution) copywriting formula:🎧 Spotify Introduction (PAS Style with Strong Hook):Are you stuck in your head trying to "wait correctly" according to your Human Design?We’ve all been told to wait for the invitation, wait for the response, wait for the urge — but what if this very act of waiting has become another form of mental conditioning, leaving you anxious, second-guessing, and disconnected from your body?In this episode, fresh from a transformative Human Design immersion in Glastonbury, I unpack the truth behind waiting and how to shift from mental overthinking to embodied action. You'll discover how "doing without doing" allows your body to naturally respond without your mind hijacking the process. This isn't just theory — it's the foundation of living your Human Design experiment with integrity, self-trust, and true embodiment.If you're ready to break free from the mental noise, fully embrace your unique design, and turn waiting into your superpower, hit play now.

Have you ever felt crushed when things didn’t turn out the way you expected? That gut-wrenching disappointment when you were so sure something good was coming … and then it didn’t? Expectations can feel like hope, but in reality, they often set us up for heartache. In this episode, I’m getting brutally honest about how expectations rob us of our joy, fuel our inner frustration, and disconnect us from the present moment. Especially for those with Guilt Motivation in Human Design, expectations aren't just harmless wishes — they’re the gateway to pain, disappointment, and disempowerment. In Human Design, Variables represent some of the deepest, most nuanced aspects of who we are going far beyond Type, Strategy, and Authority. One of these Variables is our Motivation, which describes how we are naturally wired to pursue goals and navigate the world. Go to https://www.palmtreemoments.com/download-your-free-human-design-chart/ to see what your Motivation variable is! For people with Guilt Motivation, like me, the shadow side is Hope. When we slip into hope, we disconnect from our true alignment and give our power away to uncontrollable outcomes. Learning to recognize and release these unconscious patterns is a key to freedom, self-responsibility, and true presence. If you’re tired of being trapped in the cycle of hoping, waiting, and feeling let down, this conversation is for you. It’s time to break free.I am curious if you resonate with the topic of hope and expectations that we are covering in this episode.

“From the moment I woke up, I felt like I had already lost the day.”Sound familiar? That used to be every morning for me. Until one unexpected shift completely changed the way I relate to time, productivity… and myself.In this episode of Self-Love Unlocked: Travel and Work with Human Design, I’m pulling back the curtain on the invisible force that runs so many of our lives, and how I finally broke free from it. But here’s the thing: this isn’t about time management hacks or morning routines.It’s deeper than that.If you’ve ever felt behind before the day even starts, or trapped in a rhythm that doesn’t feel like yours, this episode will challenge what you think is “normal.” I’m sharing one of the most personal parts of my transformation, and a practice so simple, it might surprise you.
