Liberation

April 07, 2023 13:15 - 21 minutes - 19.6 MB

Chatting a bit about liberation. What is your perspective? Do you have something you want to be liberated from? Someone? Some circumstance? I had a realization during this one, about the perspective through which I seek liberation. And how it sometimes can feel desperate. I am experiencing a lot of grief and reflection over family matters, so that’s where it hits me the most lately. What about you? Do you feel that there’s realizations happening? I wrote this about liberation: https://bia...

Relief

March 24, 2023 13:54 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MB

Pressure

March 03, 2023 13:12 - 20 minutes - 18.9 MB

I have been feeling pressure coming from both directions for some time now. It feels sooooo good to talk about it on here. I wonder, do you notice how and where you feel pressure inside yourself? What do you do about it? I am realizing now that this episode might be inspired by this blog post: https://biancapaigesmith.com/pressure/ I also talked about my Human Design experiment, if you want to explore for yourself: jovianarchive.com Do you want to connect with me? hello@biancapaigesmith....

Uncertainty

February 26, 2023 16:32 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MB

Reflecting on the role that uncertainty plays in my life. Does uncertainty play a role in your life? I have lots of thoughts about it, especially as it relates to my family relationships. It's been a lot for me to contend with, but I am allowing myself to go below surface level lately and I am very glad for that.

Courtesy

February 17, 2023 14:11 - 19 minutes - 18.5 MB

I am learning about what courtesy really means to me. I am learning to communicate the truth of how I am feeling without aggression and to actually make steps towards sharing without repressing. Repressing my emotions felt like the “right” thing to do but it has been harming me. It is dishonest to everyone. False courtesy. That’s what I talked about today.  I also talked about a retreat I am doing through the Gene Keys - genekeys.com Work with me: biancapaigesmith.com/offerings Contact me...

When Human Design Found Me

February 10, 2023 18:45 - 22 minutes - 20.4 MB

I felt inspired today to begin sharing the journey of when Human Design found me. It's been 5 full years. The start of my sixth year in my Human Design experiment has nearly begun and I was feeling reflective and contemplative. It's been amazing to think back to how different life was for me back then and how much has changed. How are things going for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts about this episode. Is there anything that you're completing and reflecting upon? You're invited to share....

Needs

February 03, 2023 19:32 - 21 minutes - 19.4 MB

Today I talked about my needs, what I’ve learned about them and how I’ve realized that I have learned to ignore them. I habe learned a lot about this from contemplating this over the last few weeks. I basically have learned to minimize my needs and have as few as possible, to not be a burden. Very confusing to navigate now as a grown woman. What are your needs? How do you treat yourself around those things?  I wrote about my needs on my blog here : https://biancapaigesmith.com/my-needs/ I ...

Pessimism

January 27, 2023 18:52 - 21 minutes - 20.1 MB

So I sometimes have to admit things to myself. I feel like pessimism really holds me back and I shared some ways that I have caught it. Pessimism as it relates to mental patterns that affect my behavior and or physical health even!

Grief

January 13, 2023 14:29 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

Grief is something I really want to talk about. So I am starting here. In this episode I talk about how my grandfather passed away and I decided not to attend the funeral and wake in person.

Love Notes

January 06, 2023 15:16 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

The article I mentioned - Why do I feel so much pressure? An article about Capricorn season and its connection to a pressurized energy center in our bodies. Today I spoke about love notes, how I used to exchange them with a lover and also how every act in my life is something I can see as a love note in the love song that is the work of Art of my life.

Creative Embodiment

June 20, 2022 11:03 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MB

Creative embodiment - the process of using tools, methods, forms of creativity to integrate what I'm learning into my body + live it in my life as opposed to just thinking about it    What do you do to embody yourself? Creative embodiment - what does it mean to you? To me this is the experience part of the knowledge part.  If knowledge = self discovery, experience = creative embodiment    Together - knowledge + experience = wisdom  Together - self-discovery + creative embodiment = presen...

Entropy

F - Freedom

March 31, 2022 18:00 - 20 minutes - 19.3 MB

What can I do with what I have?  Doing whatever I can with whatever I have feels more like freedom to me. Why does freedom seem to have a connection to control? What do you think? What does freedom mean to you? This episode definitely took me to a place of unknown in ways ... I wasn't really sure what I needed to say about it. Always exciting to let myself share in that way.
