Human Design is a modern self-discovery system that combines elements from ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary science, including astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and quantum physics. At its core, it creates a unique bodygraph or chart for each person based on their birth date, time, and location, similar to a natal chart in astrology. This chart reveals your "Type" (Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, or Reflector), which suggests your natural way of interacting with the world, as well as your "Strategy" and "Authority" - guidelines for making decisions that align with your authentic self. The system aims to help people understand their innate strengths, potential challenges, and optimal ways of navigating life and relationships. About the Host: Elaine Skylar Neal is a long-time supporter of the Sobertown Podcast. She manages the website and its organic rankings and serves on the Sobertown board. Among many other things, she is a website designer and SEO expert and loves helping people.

  • EP 371: Returning to Your Center with Chris Wilson
    Dec 19 2024

    Host: Elaine Skylar Neal Guest: Chris Wilson Returning to Your Center with Chris Wilson In this episode of Sobertown Podcast, guest host Elaine Skylar Neal is joined by sobriety coach Chris Wilson. Chris is a fierce lover of the outdoors. He hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2016 and retreated to the Montana wilderness as he got sober from alcohol following an exceptionally high-stress career. After growing up in Southern California, Chris was living the life many people seek - he was climbing the ranks into wealth and status as an executive for a major international corporation - but his reality was starkly different. Drinking heavily and saddled with the crushing pressures of working a 24/7 365 days a year type of job, his alcohol use was intensifying and his life was progressing in a dangerous direction. Chris ultimately ditched his career, went on an adventure of a lifetime, focused on getting sober, and started practicing living life the way he wanted.

    Today Chris is a life coach and specializes in Sobriety and ADHD, along with life transition and executive functioning. He works with people in recovery all across the world.
