EP. 30 — Human Design as a Way of Life with Eden Carpenter

What if self-worth isn’t actually something you earn?

In this expansive conversation, Lauren sits down with human design educator Eden Carpenter to explore human design as a system for self-trust, aligned decision making, communication, nervous system awareness, and identity.
