“In order to really anchor into our own possibilities, we must go within, and we must understand what makes us unique. And Human Design is a really amazing tool for that.”  ~ Olivia LasonosIn the seventh episode of The I’mperfect Podcast, I am joined by the lovely Olivia (Livy) Lasonos.Join us in this episode, as we deep dive into the realms of Human Design. Human Design is a powerful modality which, as Livy puts it, ‘provides us with a permission slip to show up as our authentic selves on this journey; to show up with our unique imprint knowing that this is not only enough but this is everything - this is the foundation for alignment and our flow state to really begin.’Whether you've had your Human Design chart reading done before or not, this episode is for everyone, and I really can't wait to share the medicine that came through in this episode. On that note, let's step into the perfectly imperfect space.Olivia Lasonos is a Human Design Specialist and business coach helping healers, coaches, and space holders, essentially unlock their unique energetic imprint and to grow their business and alignment in their design.--RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODELearn more about Livy’s offerings:Human Design Readings Course: Business by DesignBusiness Coaching CONNECT WITH OLIVIA (LIVY)  LASONOSInstagram:  @i_am_livyWebsite: embodiedhumandesign.comCONNECT WITH OLIVIAInstagram: @theenchantedspaceWebsite: theenchantedspace.co.ukTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING! Thank you for connecting and listening to The I’mperfect Podcast.

“And the key thing that I tell myself is, ‘I'm powerful in every mood.’ So if I'm sad, I'm still powerful. If I'm tired, I'm still powerful. If I'm insecure about my body, I'm still fucking powerful. I still love myself.”  ~ Amy RushworthIn the sixth episode of The I’mperfect Podcast, I am joined by the beautiful Amy Rushworth.Join us in this episode, as we create a space to talk about how money, abundance, pleasure and sex are all intertwined with the same energy - how as women we have been conditioned to feel shame around these areas and believe in the barriers around us as well as creating barriers for ourselves. Amy shares insights on how we can rise up through the Divine Feminine to take and receive what we want and are fully deserving of in this life. This is such a beautiful episode to remind us of just how worthy we are of living this human experience fully and wholly. So if you're ready to reclaim your power and start living a life that was always your birthright to receive, this is the episode for you!On that note, let's step into the perfectly imperfect space.Amy Rushworth is a Priestess and Coach for rebellious women who desire a next-level reality of wild dreams, deep love and sexy embodied abundance. Through her online courses, Orgasmic Ascension membership and The Amy Rushworth Show (podcast), Amy invites you to unapologetically claim expanded levels of sovereignty, prosperity, pleasure and freedom. --RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODELearn more about Amy’s Orgasmic Ascension membershipIf you’re interested in learning more about Amy’s online courses, Mystic Codes, Embodies Ecstasy, Cosmic Creators, click HEREListen to Amy’s podcast, The Amy Rushworth ShowJoin Amy’s FREE Facebook community, Cosmic ConfidenceCONNECT WITH AMY RUSHWORTHInstagram: @thisisamyrushworth Website: amyrushworth.comCONNECT WITH OLIVIAInstagram: @theenchantedspaceWebsite: theenchantedspace.co.ukTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING! Thank you for connecting and listening to The I’mperfect Podcast.

“Being grateful for what you have now and being aware of those blessings and grateful for them; counting them.

“And remind myself that only I have to offer what's inside of me - and it's always enough. It's really the times where you're pretending to be someone else, or pretending to give something that isn't yours to give that I believe we fall short because it's not our authenticity.” ~ Anoushka FlorenceIn the second episode of The I’mperfect Podcast, I am joined by my beautiful sister Anoushka Florence. Join us in this episode as we journey through sisterhood - the struggles that can appear when being a space holder, how we can honour the strength within the feminine and what it truly means to be invisible.

Welcome to The I’mperfect Podcast with me, your host Olivia. This is a space for us to honour and acknowledge all of our imperfectly perfect journeys - to listen and learn insights from some of the most wonderful souls within the wellness community; where I shall be creating a safe container each week to share truth and honesty, about mental health, trauma and healing; and how we can begin accepting and seeing all moments of our existence as equal and worthy. I invite you to come on this exploration with us - one of guidance back home to self, one of acknowledging how we're all these beautiful multifaceted beings and one of being imperfectly perfect humans. Welcome to The I’mperfect Podcast.
