💌 this is the email I needed to read 3 years ago

maybe it's the one you need to read today?

💌 I originally sent this email to my newsletter subscribers on 6th September 2025 and shared this audio for those who clicked “let me read this letter to you”

Some of my Substack subscribers are newsletters subscribers too, some aren’t. If you’re not and you’d like emails like this in your inbox, click here to make that happen 🧡

Hello you, this is the email I needed to read three or four years ago.

And probably every day before that too.

Because, here it is... what if you didn't need fixing? What if you didn't need to change?

This week I've worked with two Manifestor clients... unusual given that Manifestors make up around 10% of the population, but maybe it's because September feels like a fresh start and initiation is in the air! The themes that came up were around feeling the need to fix something, to fit in, to keep the peace. And let me tell you, Manifestors are not here to fit in, or follow the rules. In fact, the world needs them to do the opposite. And although that can feel uncomfortable to start with, it's a damned sight more uncomfortable to stay stuck where they are.

And for most of us, Manifestor or not, we're often in this space of feeling a bit squished, a bit restricted, not quite comfy... but also knowing that 'changing' will take effort, support, time... and that can feel too much too.

So we stay stuck in a kind of limbo.

If you're anything like past-me, this could look like spending a lot of time and energy on...

  • Following someone else's business advice, or parenting advice, and ending up feeling exhausted.

  • Or asking others for the answer, and still second-guessing yourself when their answers (surprise...) don't fit you.

  • Or trying so hard to change your habits, but staying stuck in a loop...

It's as if you’re trying to do everything “right” and play by the rules… but it still doesn’t feel right for you?

And I come back to this: you don’t need fixing. You don't need to fit into boxes and play by the rules of others.

You are unique. You have your own rules.

You just need to remember.

Which of course is exactly what Human Design supports you to do - and why I get so damn excited about sharing it!

I'm pretty sure, from the conversations I've had with friends and clients, that when you were little you knew exactly who you were. You played by your own rules... until you were told not to. You know, deep down, who you are.

All human design does is give you the language for what you already feel inside. For how you know you work, for the rules you could be living by, if you allowed yourself to. It gives you full permission to be yourself.

And once you see it… everything clicks.
Honestly, it feels like the fog lifting, like you can finally exhale and just be yourself again.

If you’ve been curious about Human Design — or you’ve got a chart but it feels confusing — now is the perfect time to dive in.

And my Unpack Sessions are the perfect space to do that. In just 60 minutes, you’ll:
✨ Understand your Type, Strategy & Authority (the basics that change everything)
✨ See exactly where you’re leaking energy and why you feel resistance
✨ Leave with simple, aligned steps you can trust immediately

My love, you don’t need fixing. You just need to follow your own rules. And your rule book? It’s right here.

Have you got questions? Press reply, I'm right here and I love to talk HD!

I've leave you with this... ✨ where are you stuck in someone else's rules?
