I'm writing this from a yoga retreat center at an hour that has no business being called morning.
Welcome to this week's Thought Gem — your reminder to pause, breathe, and choose your focus.
My husband and I are full-on beginners here. Everything is foreign. We've unknowingly broken just about every rule here. We know nothing. And we're completely open to it, which is kind of cool. That's a story for another day. I've got something else for you.
I've had a fangirl moment or two in my life. Emma Dunwoody is one of mine. She's the real deal in the Human Design world and I've soaked up everything she's ever put out. So when I got invited to her US retreat, spent a week with her, and then landed a seat on her podcast? I was pinching myself.
And then she started asking me questions.
I guide women through Human Design sessions. I've seen the look on someone's face when you tell them something about themselves that's almost too accurate. I know that moment well. I just hadn't been the one having it. Until now.
What came up wasn't comfortable. The thing I show up every week to talk about, the permission I keep handing women to trust themselves and choose themselves? Emma held up a mirror and I had to admit I wasn't fully living it either. She just smiled and said, we teach what we need to learn.
Grasshopper moment. (If you know, you know.)
That's the episode dropping this Wednesday. I'm re-airing my conversation with Emma on A Beautiful Fix because she gave me permission to share it, and I think a lot of you might recognize yourself in it too.
This week, the question isn't what you know. It's whether you're actually receiving it yourself. The wisdom you keep handing to everyone else. When did you last let yourself have it?
Catch you Wednesday,
xo Tracy

P.P.S. This July, I’ll be co-leading the Worthy by Design immersion, where Human Design, astrology, and sound healing come together in one room to help women understand themselves at a level most people never experience.
