The Recipe for Joy - using your Human Design

Joy isn’t something fluffy or fleeting. It’s the foundation of my life, my brand, and the energy I want to create a movement around.

“I am no longer in love with them. Is just love, like or friendship enough?”

“I know I need to leave. I can’t do it any more. I can’t help them, support them any longer. But I am full of guilt and don’t know how or what to do.”
