17 Aug 202234 | Releasing shame through the Throat Chakra01:06:16

Shame is the most insidious and destructive emotion, and yet it’s something that we all experience, usually in isolation. 

Today I'm joined by my good friend and business collaborator, Sam Pfotenhauer (@wildriver), to discuss ways we've each learned to move shame through the body, particularly by sharing our voice. We share personal stories of ways we used to keep ourselves small and how we learned to overcome fear, shame, and stuck-ness to share more of ourselves, even when it feels like a new and intimidating edge. 

Near the end of this episode I am exhilarated to report that I modeled sharing my own edge by singing publicly! To date, singing has been a private, daily meditation but I've been feeling called to share my voice with others for healing. This first debut is shaky and nervous, but guess what? We all need to start somewhere.

Sending you love during whatever new beginning you find yourself embarking upon. May you be filled with the courage to share your whole self with others for greater clarity, connectedness, and healing.

11 Feb 20217 | My Story Pt 1: Reclaiming My Childhood00:39:06

Grab some tea and a blanket and get cozy because Nadia’s going IN on this episode, sharing her full self, no holds barred.

In the first of this two-part series, Nadia talks all about her upbringing, where she came from and how it influenced the work that she does today.

How she grew up in a deeply religious home and found her own pathway into spirituality.

When she rejected religion entirely and why.

Her deepest childhood wounds around fear of social rejection and financial scarcity.

Her money story, getting into college and paying for her education with scholarships, and the distorted ambition that this fueled during her early days in the corporate world.

Why she felt so WEIRD as a kid and how she’s reclaiming these parts of herself now as her greatest gifts!

By sharing her story, she hopes you find bits of yourself along the way. We are all interconnected and while her experiences may be unique, the feelings she shares are ones we've all felt at some point in our lives.

It's only be sharing our full selves that we will begin to feel less isolated and more connected by similar threads in this ongoing human experiment we call life.

10 Jul 202115 | Exploring the Akashic Records and Reiki Healing with Dani Dillard01:27:00

In this episode Akashic channel and Reiki master Dani Dillard unpacks the Akashic Records, what they are, and how someone can connect with that energy that encodes the blueprint of our soul’s path in this lifetime.

Dani channels a few messages from the Akashic Masters during this episode and it’s so special. Opening yourself up to receiving guidance from your guides can be life-altering.

Dani also discusses reiki energy, the Japanese art of connecting to life force, Shakti energy through hands-on or distant healing.

Also discussed:

  • Moving through and really sitting with the thickness of depression
  • Answering the call when your soul is yearning for a move to a different physical location, even when it makes little logical sense
  • Learning how to marry the mystic, the wanderer, and the leader archetypes in life and work
  • Allowing your body space to catch up to the expansion of your consciousness
  • How to set psychedelic ceremony

Dani is currently offering coaching and energy healing with a focus on Akashic Records, reiki energy healing, somatic practices, yoga, and writing.

What feels most alive for her right now, in her own words, "Full experience of devotion to goddess energy and Shakti power. Devoting my creation to the service of my own heart, humanity and unity. My destiny is to be creative and free.”

17 Jan 202338 | Manifestors Explained01:15:27

Human Design Manifestors make up only 9% of the population. Their energy is designed to get things started and they're driven by a need to create, build, do, and achieve. Manifestors hold a vision for how things can and should be.

Manifestors are here to create, initiate, and do whatever it is that they envision themselves doing. Their rare and powerful energy holds both the key and the ignition, meaning they can dream up anything they want and that they also have the initiating energy to make it happen, catalyzing others to see their vision and move toward it as well.

Today’s episode is a deep dive into the unique Manifestor aura featuring a Manifestor describing what it feels like to live with this energy in real life.

Our dear friend Katie shares personal examples of what it feels like to be a Manifestor. For our fellow HD nerds, Katie is a 3/5 Emotional Manifestor born under the Cross of Tension.

We cover a lot of ground including:

  • What is a Manifestor urge or vision and how do I work with it?
  • What does Manifestor impact or influence look like?
  • Why it’s so important for Manifestors to rest and recharge to receive the next lightning bolt of inspiration
  • What Manifestor anger feels like and practical ways to process and move it through your body
  • Why do Manifestors have to inform others? Tactical ways to incorporate informing into your daily life to create more ease and peace
  • Katie’s journey reclaiming her voice through losing her sister, initiating a separation with her husband, and then reuniting with him with a deeper sense of self
  • Katie’s experience attending a psychedelic healing reatreat and how this helped her connect with her sister through presencing grief

Want to study Human Design through a live and dynamic course? Doors to the Spring ’23 cohort of Human Design Training are now open. We begin March 8, 2023.

22 Feb 202341 | Projectors Explained00:58:48

Human Design Projectors are our seers, guides, and leaders. Projectors are here to see into people, projects, and situations deeply. Their awareness is both penetrating and illuminating. Projectors aren't here to measure themselves by how much they do, but by how well they see.

In this episode, we dive deep into Projector energy through the lens of two Projector perspectives: host Nadia Last's as well as our guest's, Amber Larsen. Alongside Sam Pfotenhauer we unpack:

  • What a Projector is and their unique penetrating aura
  • What Projector bitterness feels like and how to recognize it in your body
  • What Projector success feels like and how to attract more of it
  • What "waiting for the invitation" means and how to feel empowered in your strategy
  • The unique energetics of resting and how to reclaim more of your energy as a Projector

There is so much juicy goodness in this episode and we hope it empowers you if you're a Projector or helps you love on the Projectors in your life more as a Projector ally. :)

10 Oct 202236 | Honoring the Death + Rebirth Cycle00:30:55

Life and death, they are inextricably tied. In fact, there is no life until we make space for something to die away. Metaphorically and physically.

I’m back on The Current today sharing more about what I’ve been reflecting on since getting engaged this past summer. Some themes from today's solo episode:

  • The telltale signs of “purpose anxiety"
  • Honoring death as a natural part of the rebirth cycle
  • Choosing to view our upcoming wedding as an initiatory rite of passage
  • Generally working through the gunk of family karma

In this season of life I'm asking myself, "What needs to die away in order to make space for new life?"

01 Mar 202224 | The 6 Profile Lines01:09:28

In this episode, Nadia and Sam unpack each of the 6 profile lines and how you can live out your purpose with more ease, flow, and alignment by understanding each of the profile line archetypes.

There are 12 profiles in total: 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, 2/5, 3/5, 3/6, 4/6, 4/1, 5/1, 5/2, 6/2, and 6/3 and each profile tells a unique story of how your life is designed to be lived.

14 Feb 202459 | You Are a Storyteller with David Alder00:54:37

"What is the message that wants to come through you now?"

This is the question storyteller David Alder asked each of us to contemplate as we embarked on an 8-week writing course—the result of which became the previous episode of this podcast (an episode my husband said was my best ever!)

We all have stories within us that shape us at a profound level and change the way we engage with this world. Sometimes, these stories reawaken within us and ask to be shared. David Alder is a storyteller shepherding people to create parables of change through his transformative writing courses and workshops.

He is also the author of a thought-provoking parable of his own called "We Will Call it Pala" a cautionary tale about the mainstream use and commodification of the psychedelic therapy movement.

If you've never engaged in a consistent writing practice before, David shares practical and energetic tools to cultivate a discipline around storytelling and shares a compelling and urgent treatise for why our world needs more heart-centered stories to individually and collectively raise the vibration of our planet.

I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

28 Feb 202342 | Reflectors Explained01:06:08
Human Design Reflectors make up only 1% of the population. Reflectors are designed to be at the center of our organizations and communities letting us know how things are going as they are uniquely attuned to the health and wellbeing of the whole.  MG's and Generators create, build, and do. Manifestors initiate. Projectors deeply see individuals and systems. Reflectors are connected to it all. They have the unique ability through their 9 open centers to connect to everything, everywhere, all at once. The key for Reflectors is to remain objective and unidentified from the energy they are continuously picking up—and this can be difficult! On this episode, Sam and I interview Becca (@hdundefined) and Jules (@msjulianajames) who are two Reflectors in business partnership together. They share grounded and differentiated takes based on their lived experiences as Reflectors several years into their individual experiments. Together we cover: Becca and Jules each describe how Reflector energy feels for them How to identify Reflector disappointment What Reflector surprise feels like Specific ways to work with waiting a full lunar cycle before making big decisions How to lean on "sounding board" authority for all the decisions in between Recognizing and trusting when environments and relationships no longer feel good Myth busting: despite having only open centers, Reflectors can do a lot! Becca and Jules discuss their energy management throughout the day as entrepreneurs Reflector love bomb: what Becca and Jules love most about being Reflectors How to support the Reflectors in your life Learn more about Becca and Jules' work here. --- Interested in diving deep into all the nuances of Human Design?

30 Nov 20203 | Gratitude and honoring the cycles of creativity00:18:21

Short and sweet! In this episode host Nadia Last discusses how she's currently honoring the cycles of her creative flow. 

Other goodies:

  • What is a gratitude practice?
  • How gratitude rewires our brains for opportunities and abundance
  • The ironic juxtaposition of Thanksgiving and Black Friday on back to back days in the US

"Gratitude is a muscle we all have, some of us are just severely atrophied."


09 May 202345 | A New Direction00:17:46
Today, The Current takes on a new energetic vibration, frequency, and direction. This podcast is a reminder that you are a divine being. You have, and have always had, everything that you need within you. All you need to do is take a moment of stillness to tune inward and connect to your heart. My hope is is that this podcast drops you into the energetic frequency of inspiration and optimism. Despite all of the difficulty, pain, suffering, and density that exists on this planet, I hope this podcast helps you turn up the volume and amplification of the light that exists within you. That is not to say that difficulty will no longer exist on this plane, of course it will. But we will also be able to see the beauty that exists here in ways that we've never been able to see before. We will be able to access healing in ways that we've never been able to access before. We will be able to access our soul frequency and attunement more than we've ever been able to access before. Despite the illusion of separateness on Earth, we are always connected and we are never alone. Not only are we connected to our fellow humanity, we are connected to all the souls we've incarnated with prior to this lifetime. We are connected to many, many divine beings as I am when I record these episodes that you can likely feel in the energetic vibration of my voice. This podcast is an energetic portal for reconnecting to your heart to share that energy and frequency with others so that we can build a more beautiful and spiritually-connected world. There are many tools and modalities that I will share here, because this show is about your healing, our collective healing, and also your expansion into potentiality. Into the possibilities that are infinite for you in this lifetime, and the lifetimes to come. We'll continue to expand on therapy, spirituality, inner child work, Human Design, mind-expanding substances, intuition, past lives, intergenerational patterns, dreamwork, sexual healing, connection to our bodies, animals, plants, nature, and Earth, creativity, self-expression, and real stories about healing and consciousness expansion. Thank you for being along for this incredible ride. I see you and I am deeply grateful that you’re here. --- Leave a podcast review for a chance to receive a free intuitive channeled session with Nadia: In support of this work reaching more people, I will be choosing 2 people every month to receive a free 60-minute intuitive channeling session.

11 Feb 20218 | My Story Pt 2: My Spiritual Awakening00:51:40

Alright, y’all here’s the grand finale in this two-part series where Nadia finally shares her full self. Consider this her spiritual coming out party because we are diving all the way in to unpack her journey down the rabbit hole.

Nadia takes you through her spiritual unraveling after she thought she had “figured it all out."

Her dark night of the soul and how getting what she always thought she wanted ended up throwing her into a complete identity crisis.

How she “woke up” and what that even means in the first place.

The downward spiral that ensued is still somewhat unbelievable looking back, but resulted in a 180 degree shift in her life path and a rebirth of the person she always was and just needed a soul awakening to step into.

25 Apr 202225 | Celebrate your own damn birthday00:34:31

Birthdays (referred to as "solar returns" in Astrology), are an annual opportunity to reflect, receive, and reorient yourself along the next threshold of your life path.

Birthdays are a time when the energy on the planet most resembles the moment when you were born. Each year the sun comes back to the place it was at the moment of your birth and asks, “how YOU were you this past year?”

Many of us wait for others to celebrate our birthdays or dismiss the idea of celebrating a birthday altogether as childish. My invitation? Celebrate yourself. Can you deeply love this incarnation you're in and honor the gifts you have in this lifetime?

Sharing all about my birthday portal this past month. I turned 30, exited my Saturn Return, and climbed up onto the 6th line roof (I'm a 4/6 profile in Human Design).

This episode kicks off a series of solo episodes I have planned to unpack my experiences with spirituality, self-development, psychedelics, therapy, and more.

19 Jun 202231 | My dad’s journey from addiction to recovery01:01:34

My dad is celebrating 15 years of sobriety. As a special edition Father’s Day episode, Nadia interviews her father, Jim, about his journey from addiction to recovery.

Some of the most important work we do on this plane is healing and drawing more awareness and compassion into our family lines. Perhaps my dad’s biggest work in this lifetime is interrupting a generational pattern of drinking.

Content warning: if you or someone in your life has or is currently experiencing substance abuse and this topic is activating for you, please trust your body about whether or not to listen.

Additionally, this episode contains my dad’s personal experience with substance abuse and does not contain professional mental health or medical advice. Please consult with a trained professional if you or someone you know is experiencing addiction.

Finally, my dad has generously offered his time to anyone who listens to this episode and feels called to connect. You can email Nadia at hello@nadialast.com to get in touch with Jim.

Thank you for listening to this tender episode and sharing your hearts with us through the ethers. I hope this episode inspires your own familial healing through gently examining patterns of familial dysfunction and secrecy with loving awareness.

10 Aug 202233 | Learning to trust the current of your life00:45:40

We each have a synchronistic life path or current that carries us into specific life experiences, relationships, and lessons. It's a journey to recognize and trust the current when it takes you places that directly oppose what you expected a particular season of life to look/feel like.

When you do hit your stride, it can become all too easy to start paddling even faster, frantically trying to get somewhere by a certain fabricated timeline.

It's an art form to instead learn how to listen to and trust the pace of your unique life's current. To jump into the river and truly enjoy the ride.

In this episode, Nadia unpacks her "summer of surrender" and how she's been learning to laugh when the universe continues to knock her down.

She also unpacks our unique energetic aura that extends beyond each of our bodies and how we can engage in daily "energetic hygiene" to reconnect to the frequency of love.

16 Jun 202230 | Root and Ritual with Becca Piastrelli01:09:35
Our world is evolving at breakneck speed, with 90% of our time now spent indoors—the majority of that time spent in front of screens. Most of this change has only taken place over the last 100 years. Our bodies—having evolved over millennia—haven't had the opportunity to catch up. Becca Piastrelli's work is helping us look back to the ways things used to be, reconnecting us to our ancestral ways of living. She helps folks come back into communion with the land they inhabit, live seasonally, reclaim culturally-respectful rituals, and "re-village" by connecting more meaningfully with their community. She's the author of the book, "Root & Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect with Land, Lineage, Community, and the Earth." She also hosts her own podcast, Belonging. Human Design-wise, Becca is a 3/5 Sacral Manifesting Generator born under the Cross of the Unexpected.  Becca's website: https://beccapiastrelli.com Becca's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beccapiastrelli/ --- Website: nadialast.com Instagram: @nadialast_ Music: Chihiro by Yoste Photography www.mandeerae.com
28 Jan 20216 | How to rewire your runaway mind00:36:27

Have you ever felt trapped in your own mind, powerless against the negative thought patterns that can sometimes spiral out of control?

In this episode, Nadia unpacks how we get into these mental spirals in the first place, why it can feel more overwhelming with the world in its current state of disarray, and all of the myriad ways we can work WITH our limiting self beliefs, fears, and negative self-talk to alchemize our perceived weaknesses into our greatest strengths.

In this episode:

  • An exercise for uncovering your limiting beliefs and negative self-talk
  • My own limiting beliefs and how I’ve worked with them as my greatest karmic teachers

Other supportive tools for rewiring your runaway mind:

  • Creating a daily gratitude practice
  • Claiming your day
  • Asking your guides, the universe, your higher self for what you need
  • Manifesting abundance
  • Getting out of our heads and into our bodies with physical exercise, dance, and general movement
  • Reclaiming your inner child

Nadia currently has one spot left to work with her 1:1. Her work focuses on rewiring the mind for full spiritual healing, illuminating your path to unlock your soul's gifts. To apply, visit: nadialast.com/coaching

29 Dec 20205 | Grief is love with nowhere to go with Rachel Reichblum01:17:41

Grief is one of the most taboo topics and yet death is the only inevitable that we will all experience in this life.

Whether or not you’ve experienced the death of someone close to you, we can all relate to the feeling of grief this year more than ever. It’s an emotion that unites all of us as we mourn the plans we thought that we were going to have, the year that we thought this would be, the relationships and jobs lost, the locations moved, the human lives lost and many more forever changed by this pandemic.

In The Current's inaugural interview, host Nadia Last interviews her dear friend, former coworker, and creator of @thatgoodgrief, an Instagram that welcomes people who are grappling with grief in all of its many forms.

With wit, humor, and deep wisdom, Rachel discusses her experience of losing both parents to the same form of brain cancer within 14 months of each other while Rachel was in her late 20's and the events that ultimately nudged her to create @thatgoodgrief.

Her story is all of our stories. At various points in our lives, we will all feel grief. Rachel's story gives us permission to grieve, to create space for grief as love with nowhere to go. To be kind to ourselves and allow space for grief in whatever way it manifests in our lives.

09 Mar 202343 | Considering a Psychedelic Therapy Retreat?01:07:59

For those who seek, psychedelic journey work has the expansive potential to help you meet your truest self. The part of you that sits behind emotions, thoughts, experiences, job titles, and identities. We call this the Self. And it’s from the seat of the Self that true healing and awakening can begin.

Licensed therapist, Clare Johnson, and licensed nurse practitioner, Nick Baker, are both certified psychedelic guides working in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy.


Today, they’re back on The Current to discuss their upcoming psychedelic retreat: a 6-day experience in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest in March 2024.

The retreat will take place at an eco-luxury sanctuary for legal plant medicine ceremonies situated on 200 private acres of lush, verdant land. The entire property is fed by the largest waterfall in Costa Rica, the Diamante Falls.

Learn more and apply to this retreat at www.samesummit.com

This episode is also intended to be a guide if you’re considering attending any psychedelic retreat. We cover a lot of ground including:

  • How to recognize if a facilitator is in integrity (are they leading you to their answers or your own inner wisdom?)
  • How to set intentions without gripping to rigid expectations of your journey
  • Real life examples of the rewarding and challenging aspects of this work
  • The power of psychedelic journeying in a safe group setting
  • How Clare and Nick allow versus guide people into their own psychedelic experience
  • What to expect and ask for during preparation and integration
  • How to know if this work is right for you

PS Nadia will be assisting this Costa Rica retreat!

23 Jul 202116 | How to show up more authentically in your life00:47:22

In this solo episode, Nadia gets vulnerable and shares one of the wounds she’s been working through in her own life: a deep-seated fear of rejection. We are wired for love and connection. One of the most fundamantal human needs is belonging. And that is why disconnection can be such a detrimental blow to our emotional wellbeing. In today’s society, kids are often ostracized or made fun of when they stick out in any way. It then becomes difficult in adulthood to dredge up our uniqueness, because in many instances we learned to suppress our natural gifts in our early years. 

Nadia shares openly about a few experiences from her childhood that led her to unconsciously develop a habit of keeping people at arm’s length. She shares how she’s learning to let people in, to feel safe being seen, and source self-worth within herself rather than unconsciously seeking external validation. It’s been a long road, y’all! And it will continue to be a lifelong journey. 

Also in this episode: 

  • Working with your dreams to heal childhood experiences
  • How to reparent yourself, giving your inner child what they needed back then now
  • Soul purpose is often cultivated through the pain you’ve experienced and ultimately alchemize for others to learn from Learning how to keep people in your life by consistently watering and tending to your “relationship garden"
  • Mentioned: Journey of Souls by Michael Newton

The next cohort of Soul Group is launching September 7th. If you’re ready to explore and be seen for who you really are in sacred circle we would be deeply honored to have you. Learn more at nadialast.com/soulgroup

24 Jun 202114 | Finding ground in a fast-paced life01:28:55

Nadia and Sam, of Wild River (@wildriver), share an intimate conversation about what it feels like to navigate a post-pandemic world.

After more than a year of COVID-19-related restrictions, the country is beginning to reopen. With that comes a jarringly faster pace of life, opportunities to gather and travel again, and new anxieties and stress.

Sam begins this episode with a grounding meditation to connect to the Earth.

Nadia and Sam then back and forth about their experiences starting their businesses and returning to “normal.” Some of the other topics we discuss:

  • Connecting to the Earth through somatic practices and grounding meditations
  • Daily practices for allowing yourself to feel deeply and leaning into your own emotional wave
  • Morning rituals to start your day inward before going outward
  • Inner child healing through dream journaling

14 Mar 20219 | The cycle of transformation with Natalie Kuhn01:15:43

“In 2020 we changed because we had to, in 2021, let’s change because we want to.”

In this episode, Nadia interviews Natalie Kuhn, one of the founding teachers and VP of Programming for The Class—a workout for the mind, body, and spirit.

Natalie discusses the agility that can be discovered by identifying and working with the repeatable seasons of change: awareness, resistance, confrontation, chaos, emergence and arrival. 

Though the circumstances may change, the phases of transformation are relatively predictable. Learning to anticipate each phase helps us walk through profound shifts in our lives with agility, openness, and grace. 

We also discuss: 

  • How The Class is actively participating in anti-racism work as a wellness company (mentioned: Caste by Isabel Wilkerson) 
  • Natalie opens up about unexpectedly losing her mother, sharing advice for anyone in the initial throes of grief and how she still connects with and honors her mom today 
  • The fallacy of "work-life balance" 
  • The lessons she’s learned being in conscious partnership after years of working on herself first 

The Journey: Cycle of Transformation, The Class’s newest 2-day digital retreat where 10 renowned thought leaders guide you through the necessary steps along the path to true change. Streamed live on Saturday, 3/20 and Sunday, 3/21 and will be available on demand through 4/20. Register here: https://www.theclass.com/thejourney

07 Jun 202228 | How to develop your intuition with Emily the Medium (pt 1)00:43:57
Emily the Medium is back on The Current for an expansive two-part conversation about intuition and what it means to be alive on the planet during this unique and transformative juncture of human history. In part 1, we're focusing on connecting to and living an intuitive life including: How to identify your unique, subtle intuitive faculties that are here to support you during your human experience How to move from mind-based intellectualizing into the body and intuition Recognizing the difference between intuition and trauma How to figure out what your intuitive nudges are trying to communicate with you Stay connected to Emily's work: Website: www.emilythemedium.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/emilythemedium --- Website: nadialast.com Instagram: @nadialast_ Music: Chihiro by Yoste Photography www.mandeerae.com
11 May 202112 | How to start journaling00:42:55

Journaling is the top recommended tool for self awareness, personal growth, and connecting with your intuition. It’s a tool we all know we should be doing, but very few of us actually do it. Why? Because for many, journaling invokes a mental image of a middle schooler recounting what they had for lunch to a diary. We also have no clue what to write. 

In this episode, Nadia unpacks why journaling is the single most important tool that aided her on her spiritual journey. In fact, this podcast wouldn’t exist without journaling. 

The simple fact is that when you dutifully show up day after day to unpack the contents of your heart and your mind, you get clear on what it is you actually want and value and what your soul is truly yearning for. Seeing longings show up on your pages day after day eventually leads you to do something about it. This is the magic of journaling. Journaling will help you unlock a connection with your higher self. It provides a constant stream of higher order wisdom and a rudder for making decisions in your life. Journaling is a free tool for introspection and mental clarity. 

What we cover in this episode: 

  • The main blockers that keep you from starting a journaling practice 
  • Tactical tips for starting your own practice (+ journal prompts!) 
  • Overcoming and working with your inner critic 
  • Getting over the initial hump of feeling silly and not knowing what to write

03 May 202226 | In and through00:43:46
The fastest way to the other side of that big emotion or that recurring thought is in and through.  We can spend a lifetime trying to evade emotions or thoughts that feel uncomfortable. We're conditioned away from pain, hurt, shame, sadness, grief, anger. Learning how to move TOWARD the scary feelings and thoughts (sometimes with a licensed professional such as a trauma-informed psychotherapist!) is the fastest way to liberation. In this episode, Nadia's back for another solo adventure sharing a recent experience moving through a big emotion and how she swam to the other side by diving headfirst into the wave. Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational and inspirational purposes only. This podcast does not offer medical advice.

07 Dec 202119 | Projector Deep Dive01:35:43

Projectors are here to be our guides, seers, visionaries, leaders, and teachers. They are bravely ushering us into a new paradigm of leadership. One that doesn’t need to roll up their sleeves and work the hardest to prove their worth. Rather, Projector leadership guides others through their ability to step back and observe.

Today’s podcast episode is a deep dive into the Projector energetic archetype where Sam Pfotenhauer interviews Nadia about her experience discovering and owning her Projector gifts.

27 Oct 202237 | Human Design Energy Types in Relationship01:23:04

There are five energy types in Human Design: Projectors, Manifesting Generators, Generators, Manifestors, and Reflectors. Each energy type has its own energetic signature and a specific way they're designed to engage with the world around them. 

To honor the culmination of the third quarter of the year in Human Design, all about relationships and bonding, Sam Pfotenhauer and host Nadia Last unpack all the ways in which Human Design shows up in relationship. 

  • How can you support each of the five energy types in relationships? 
  • How do the different Profile types relate to one another? 
  • Are there some types that are more compatible than others (spoiler: this is a myth that we bust!) 

Sam is in an MG-MG partnership and Nadia is in a Projector-Projector relationship and they unpack all of the ways Human Design has helped them show up in their relationships and cultivate greater compassion and understanding of their partners.

29 Mar 202344 | Animal Communication with Brooke Baxter01:05:00

Brooke Baxter is a Reiki Master, Animal Communicator, Energy Healer, Natural Horsewoman, and Natural Nutrition Consultant. She is also a mother, wife, friend, and daughter.


Brooke’s work is awakening humanity to all of our innate abilities to communicate with animals.


When asked what animal communication is, she replied, “Animal communication includes what you and I are doing right now. We are exchanging information and energy. We’re doing it with our words out loud but we’re also doing it as we mingle our energy in this space. Our hearts are connecting and our intentions and like-mindedness are awakening to one another. Animal communication is an extension of that exchange of information. 


Animal communication is the most basic form of communication on the planet. All sentient beings share it. And it isn’t a magical special gift that just a few people have. It’s not a superpower and it isn’t limited in any way. Every single one of us can do it—we were born to. We already are in many cases but don’t realize it. And all of the animals around us, this is their language. It’s a matter of us letting go of some of the words we get caught up in and some of the conditioning of our human society and getting back in touch with the vibrations, the intentions, the thoughts, the sensations, the memories that we can transmit to one another non-verbally. It includes body language, but it isn’t just body language. It really is an exchange of ideas and feelings and thoughts.”


Nadia received an animal communication reading from Brooke for her two dogs, Otis and Murphy, and they share in depth about this profound, eye-opening, and sometimes hilarious experience! Our animals really notice so much about our thoughts and feelings living alongside us.


All living beings on our planet come from the same place. We are all source love energy. Walking a spiritual path means opening our hearts to all living species and living more thoughtfully and meaningfully alongside them with curiosity and humility.


Thank you, Brooke, for this deeply personal and meaningful conversation! I’m so grateful our paths crossed in this lifetime.

Grab some tea and a journal and dive in with Sam and Nadia as they explore what it means to be a multi-passionate doer and creator in this lifetime. Manifesting Generators are just what the name implies: a Generator (builder, creator, doer) with a bit of Manifestor (initiating) flare. To be an empowered MG in this world will mean bucking convention in all its forms. You are here to innovate, take the path less traveled, go forward, sideways, and backwards. Your path will not be linear so allow yourself to move, pivot, switch gears, and follow the creative spark that your life force energy is guiding you towards moment-by-moment.

20 Jul 202232 | Human Design Authorities Pt 201:01:43

We're back on the podcast to unpack the final 5 Human Design authorities: ego-projected (Projectors), ego-manifested (Manifestors), self-projected (Projectors), sounding board (Projectors), and lunar authority (Reflectors).

Having any one of these rare authorities means that you have a lot of openness in your chart, meaning you take in a lot of energy from the world around you. We focus on practices to decondition your open centers and come back to your body to hear the subtle cues of your unique form of decision making and create a life that feels aligned to your soul's path.

01 Feb 202340 | Generators Explained01:30:39

Generators are here to be our life-giving doers, creators, and builders. If you are a Generator, you were imbued with the life force energy to commit to and master a process and skill, and bring an idea to life.

Your superpower is that when you’re doing what you love, you get more energy as you work, naturally regenerating your gas tank as you go.

In this episode, Sam and I interview Emily the Medium to share her in real life examples of how being a Generator feels in her body and how she uses her energy to navigate the world with more ease. We discuss:

• What is a Generator?

• How special the Generator archetype really is

• What a sacral "yes" and "no" feels like

• Characteristics of an empowered Generator

• What satisfaction feels like

• What frustration feels like

• Generator lifestyle including sleep strategy

03 Aug 202348 | Lessons in Love: Legacies of Family Secrets, Shame as a Teacher, and Unapologetic Emotional Expression00:29:23

I believe that we are all divine souls having a human experience. This human experience is designed to stretch us spiritually—an “Earth School” with a unique curriculum of relationships and experiences designed to help us grow and evolve. The goal? To remember that we are all interconnected and come from the same loving Source. To choose love in all interactions and turn up the brightness of the love that’s in our hearts and raise the vibration of our planet through consistent inner inquiry practices and presence with ourselves.

Despite having momentary glimpses of this truth and surrounding myself with crystals, books, and objects that remind me of it daily, I forget it. My journey is just as clunky, full of fumbles, and laughable moments of ignorance.

In this fast-paced world of endless media scrolling, I crave real-life, honest examples of humans on their individuated spiritual journeys to stimulate my self-reflection, observation, and growth. I want to ask everyone I meet, “What lesson are you currently learning in life?” One of my favorite mantras is “create what you want to see in the world.”

As such, I am humbly offering my own lessons and stories from my human fumbling here in an effort to reconnect you to your heart and spiritual journey and hopefully make us all feel less alone in the shared humanity of it all.


Lessons in Love, July 2023:

  1. Legacies of Family Secrets
  2. Shame as a Teacher
  3. Unapologetic Emotional Release in the Middle of a Crowded Airport

At a glance:

  • 0:45 We're all divine souls having a human experience.
  • 2:52 That said, my spiritual journey is really clunky
  • 6:21 Lessons learned from my grandparents and legacies of family secrets.
  • 8:47 Shame as a teacher
  • 13:59 Shifting generational patterns of behavior.
  • 16:53 The power of releasing emotions: unapologetic emotional expression and how I started sobbing in the middle of the San Francisco airport.
  • 20:02 Bachelorette reflections: the edginess of allowing yourself to be seen and celebrated
  • 22:23 How can guilt and shame teach me to be a better person

  • 26 May 202227 | Human Design Authorities Pt 101:06:25

    We are back with an episode unpacking another foundational aspect of Human Design: inner authorities.

    Our inner authority is the unique place in each of our bodies that we can access to make better decisions that are in alignment with our unique gifts and life path.

    Human Design shows us that our human minds have enormous computing power, but it’s only by connecting to the wisdom of our bodies that we can truly know what is best for us. It also teaches us that we truly are our own best authority! We each have an inner compass available to us that we can access moment-by-moment to guide us through life.

    I’m joined by my dear friend and collaborator Sam Pfotenhauer (@wildriver) to unpack the first three inner authorities: Solar Plexus (emotional), Sacral, and Splenic.

    • Demystifying ketamine: why it’s in a psychedelic healing class of its own and how it feels in your body
    • Nick, Clare, and Nadia’s personal experiences with ketamine
    • All about psilocybin, unpacking the dreaded “bad trip,” and how to work in and through any resistance that comes up in a journey

    17 Jan 202456 | Shadow Work with Dr. Ido Cohen01:16:33

    What is shadow work? How do you identify and work with your golden shadow as opposed to your darker shadow?

    Join Nadia as she interviews Dr. Ido Cohen, Jungian psychologist and psychedelic educator.

    In this episode, we explore several avenues of spirituality, psychological, and personal growth:

    • Understanding Synchronicity: Dr. Cohen delves into the concept of synchronicity, explaining it as a meaningful connection between internal and external events that go beyond mere coincidence. This includes how synchronicities can be seen as messages or signs from the subconscious or the universe.
    • Jungian Psychology and the Self: The discussion covers Jungian psychology extensively, particularly the concept of the 'Self' and its relationship with the ego. Dr. Cohen describes how the ego acts as a translator and processor for messages from the Self, aiding in personal growth and understanding.
    • Role of Psychedelics in Spiritual Practice: The podcast explores how psychedelics can be integrated into spiritual practice, offering profound experiences and insights. Dr. Cohen emphasizes the importance of proper integration of these experiences into one's life.
    • Shadow Work: A significant portion of the conversation is dedicated to understanding the shadow self, including both the 'golden shadow' (hidden talents and positive aspects) and the 'darker shadow' (repressed or negative aspects).
    • Processing Trauma and Life Challenges: Dr. Cohen discusses the importance of working through traumatic experiences and challenging life events as opportunities for growth and learning.
    • Spirituality as a Taboo and Personal Exploration: Addressing the taboo surrounding spirituality in certain cultures and communities, and the importance of creating a safe space for exploring and discussing spiritual topics.
    • The Importance of Integration Work: For making sense of and applying insights from both peak psychedelic experiences and deep psychological work in day-to-day life.
    • Rebirth and Transformation: Dr. Cohen shares his experience of his house burning down, and how such events can lead to profound and unexpected personal change.
    • Engaging with the Invisible: The episode delves into the importance of engaging with the 'invisible' or aspects of life and the psyche that are not immediately visible or tangible, but deeply influential.
    • Approaching Life Changes and New Beginnings: Lastly, Dr. Cohen discusses practical ways to approach life changes and new beginnings, emphasizing the importance of taking small, conscious steps towards transformation.


    More about Dr. Ido Cohen:

    Dr. Ido Cohen, a clinical psychologist with training from CIIS and the Jung Institute in San Francisco, specializes in treating early childhood trauma, addiction recovery, relationship issues, and psycho-spiritual exploration. He works with individuals, couples, and groups in the Bay Area. His doctoral dissertation examined the psychospiritual integration of Ayahuasca ceremonies through a Jungian psychology perspective. Dr. Cohen provides preparation and integration services for individuals and groups, along with various workshops and trainings on these subjects. He founded The Integration Circle, a community of professionals committed to assisting individuals and groups in preparing for and integrating psychedelic and entheogenic experiences into lasting and meaningful changes.

    23 Dec 202121 | Manifestor Deep Dive01:28:38

    Want to learn more about Human Design and being a Manifestor? Head to ⁠Moonrise⁠, Sam and Nadia's newest dedicated Human Design venture with tons of free resources to learn more:


    Manifestors are the only energy type in Human Design that hold the creative vision and contain everything within themselves to get their ideas started. Other types need to wait for something whether it’s an invitation (Projectors), something to respond to (Manifesting Generators and Generators), or a full lunar cycle to drop into their unique energy (Reflectors).

    Manifestors don’t need to wait for anything, they receive the lightning bolt of inspiration within themselves, all they need to do is “inform” or let people know where they’re going.

    Manifestor energy is incredibly powerful and self-contained and it’s our deep belief that we need more empowered and creatively inspired Manifestors on the planet right now to cultivate collective growth and healing. We reframe and evolve the traditional language that Manifestors are “repelling” and instead empower Manifestors to observe the way they impact people around them.

    In this episode Sam and I interview our dear friend Carolyn who introduced us and kicked off our co-creation a little over a year ago. Talk about getting things started! We interview her about her unique Manifestor energy. For those familiar with Human Design, Carolyn is a 2/4 Emotional Manifestor born under the right angle cross of penetration.

    We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including:

    • What does a Manifestor urge feel like?
    • How can Manifestors understand their closed (opaque) and impactful aura?
    • What does Manifestor anger feel like and how can Manifestors work with it in healthy ways?
    • What are the common Manifestor wounds and challenges?
    • How can Manifestors learn to trust the rest to recharge their undefined Sacral motor?
    • Bonus: Inner inquiry prompts to understand the type of impact you are designed to make in this lifetime

    If you are a Manifestor, we hope you take this episode as an invitation to trust and move toward the creative inspiration that flows through you unimpeded. Play big! Take up space! Go where you wanna go and be who you wanna be! We’re all waiting for your inspiration to get us all started. Sending you love on your journey of self-reclamation and inner power.

Kat explores how she learned to define work watching her parents as hard-working immigrants growing up. 25:02 Nadia explores the themes of finances in Kat's chart as she has gate 45, the gate of the financial educator and gatherer, and the full 21-45 channel of money. 35:10 Unpacking gate 26, the gate of the Marketer and Kat's experience bringing integrity into Marketing with clients. 40:44 Defining the Throat (communication) and Heart (willpower) centers. 50:17 Defining the G-center or identity center. 55:35 Unpacking the Spleen center and Kat's experiences with an undefined Spleen. 57:55 Kat's two channels connecting her Sacral motor to her G-center, channels 2-14 and 5-15. 1:02:13 The open Solar Plexus center (emotions) and the power of empathy. 1:06:39 Unpacking Kat's 5/2 profile.

    13 Jan 202223 | Reflector Deep Dive01:35:14

    Reflectors are our sacred mirrors, showing us where we’re out of alignment and guiding each of us back into our innate gifts and purpose to lift up our communities and level up collective consciousness.

    This episode is chock full of creative and tactical day-to-day wisdom for Reflectors as they learn to move through the world.

    Sam and I interview Tanya Reyes, a 5/2 Reflector with a fully open throat meaning she doesn’t have a single gate or gift connected to her undefined throat center. This means all of the messages Tanya shares here are channeled for the collective, and we’re so grateful she shared her beautiful gifts with us!

    What we cover:

    • How Covid empowered Tanya to slow down to the pace of her own body and how her energy is naturally designed to work
    • How the Reflector aura is similar to an energetic windmill taking in energy from others wherever they go
    • Reflector empowerment is meant to taste test, reflect, discharge, and move on, rather than over identifying with or getting stuck in any particular energy
    • Unpacking Reflector super powers, including their ability to instantly recognize the psychic health of the whole
    • Tips for how to discharge energy and set up your day for success (including going to bed early and alone and cultivating a healthy morning ritual)
    • How to connect to lunar cycle decision-making (Tanya actually sets 29-day timers in her phone to track and hold herself accountable!)
    • What the not-self theme of disappointment feels like and how to recognize it in your life
    • How the Reflector signature of surprise feels like and how to cultivate more of it in your life

    “Reflectors are here to sample and be one with totality. Through this process you will have a mystical life that most of us will never know.” - Ra Uru Hu, founder of Human Design

    26 May 202113 | Psychedelic therapy with Clare Johnson00:53:29

    In this episode, Nadia interviews her former therapist and mentor, Clare Johnson, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is evolving her practice to include psychedelic assisted therapy, or the use of mind-altering substances and subsequent integration to incite deeper therapeutic healing and catharsis for individuals and groups. "Psychedelic” literally means to make your soul visible. Derived from the Greek psyche ("soul"), and deloun ("to make visible"). 

    In this episode, Clare discusses how the use of psychedelic medicine can reconnect you with the parts of yourself that you do your best to avoid in daily life, ultimately bringing you into greater wholeness and wellbeing.

    We cover a lot of ground in this episode including:

    • The current state of legalized psychedelic therapy in the US and where we’re headed over the next few years
    • Clare’s own experience with psychedelic plant medicine on her personal healing journey
    • How journeying inward with a trained guide mitigates having a “bad trip”
    • What it was like to be a therapist during the global upheaval of 2020 Clare’s own connection to spirituality and an energy beyond each of us that connects us all  

    Mentioned by Clare: 

    • In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction by Gabor Maté
    • How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan

    In this episode, Cass O'Neill joins us to discuss the magic of being alive, how to unlock creativity in your everyday life, the process of working with ideas and money as energy, and much more.

    • The process of writing and publishing her poetry book, the sure song of here
    • How Cass learned to find comfort in intimacy, in staying in experiences for their opportunity for connectedness rather than being the first one to leave a party
    • The energetics of money in the new paradigm of soul-led business, and how to tell difference between consciously investing and unconsciously spending
    • Practices for opening up your energy field to receive money

    07 Jun 202229 | Moving from victim consciousness to healing with Emily the Medium (pt 2)00:49:36

    Pain is an inevitable part of being a human alive on this planet right now. Our world is unquestionably hurting. This is an important conversation with divine guidance around how to alchemize our most painful experiences into love.

    Emily the Medium is back on The Current for the second part of this expansive two-part conversation. We cover a lot of ground including:

    • The unique energetics on our planet right now—particularly victim consciousness, or the belief that things are happening to you instead of for you
    • The process of alchemizing pain into love and healing
    • How to support the children of this planet right now, and the unique frequency they're incarnating with
    • How to connect with nature during especially chaotic and turbulent times on this planet
    • How to connect with your guides when you feel alone
    • How to stay spiritually connected while still enjoying what it means to be human
    • Finding purpose on a micro level through day-to-day interactions

    27 Dec 202354 | 2023 Reflections: Transforming Stuckness into Growth with Betsy Granville01:00:32
    The week between Christmas and New Year's is always a potent moment for introspection. A time to hit pause and reflect on the year that just passed and determine how to move forward and focus your energy in the year to come. This can also be a heavy time for people spending time with or without loved ones, navigating sticky familial dynamics or feeling any sense of loss or grief. Join us in this uplifting episode of The Current as Nadia reconnects with Betsy Granville, an intuitive and spiritual counselor. In our conversation, the day after Christmas, we delve into a reflection of 2023 and a hopeful outlook for 2024. We discuss the themes of 'stuckness' consciousness, finding the light within when the world feels especially dark, and the resilience of the human spirit. Betsy offers profound insights into connecting with unseen forces for hope and healing, understanding intuition, and the transformative power of spiritual growth. We hope this finds you whenever you most need to hear it.

    27 Apr 202111 | Channeling your psychic abilities with Emily the Medium01:31:35

    Emily is a medium. Meaning she transmits messages from your ancestors, deceased loved ones, spirit guides, higher self, and even potential spirit babies to support you on your life path.

    This is an episode that I’m not sure I would have been comfortable publishing even 6 months ago—that is until I received a reading from Emily during which she channeled my deceased grandfather with such stunning accuracy and detail that I had to acknowledge there might be something to connecting with the “other side.”

    The reality is that we are always receiving psychic information.

    It’s what happens when you call someone and they exclaim in surprise that they were just thinking of you.

    It’s what happens when you dream about something before it happens.

    It’s what happens when you know someone is experiencing relationship issues before they tell you.

    We receive psychic information with such staggering frequency that it’s easy to dismiss these signals as coincidence.

    But what if they weren’t?

    What if we all had access to energetic currents that connected us to our higher selves, life purpose, and higher order wisdom?

    After dabbling with these questions and more in my own life, I knew it was time to bring Emily—known by her audience as Emily the Medium—onto the show to share her wisdom from her years of psychic readings.

    We cover a lot of ground in this nearly 90 minute episode! Including:

    • How Emily got into mediumship
    • Her mystical experiences channeling messages for friends and relatives before unleveling her gifts into a full-time career
    • Who are our “spirit guides” and how can we connect with them?
    • Spirit babies and the ethereal beings that are attempting to connect with us to come earth side
    • Gen-Z and ushering in a new (and long overdue) paradigm of gender fluidity
    • Emily’s experience with labels and letting them lose their hold on her as she evolves away from defining herself and her business as any one thing
    • The perpetual search for “aliveness” and how we can be more intentional with where we show up and how
    • The power of rediscovering our relationship with nature and connecting with and caring for the trees
    • Resources Emily suggests you use if you’re curious about dipping your toes into clairvoyance (including Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert!)

    Books mentioned:

    • Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
    • The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron
    • The Psychic Pathway by Sonia Choquette

    13 Dec 202352 | EFT Tapping Explained with Amy Piper00:55:05

    Learn more about EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), often referred to as tapping with expert Amy Piper.


    EFT operates on the premise that emotional distress and psychological issues are linked to disturbances in the body's energy system. It draws from the ancient Chinese meridian system, the same energy pathways used in acupuncture and acupressure. By tapping on these various points in the body while focusing on a particular challenge or emotion, you can move it physically through your body. A typical EFT session includes identifying a specific issue to focus on, rating the intensity of the emotion, and then performing a series of tapping sequences while repeating affirmations or statements related to the issue.


    In this insightful episode of The Current, Amy shares her personal journey into the world of EFT, explaining how it facilitated her own healing and led to a career shift. The conversation delves into the specifics of EFT, its benefits, and how it integrates with Human Design. Amy provides a comprehensive explanation of the EFT process, including a demonstration of tapping points and a real-time exercise to address Nadia's experiences feeling hyper vigilance in cars due to an car accident she experienced in high school.


    The episode offers listeners an in-depth understanding of EFT's role in addressing various issues like trauma, anxiety, depression, and phobias. Additionally, Amy discusses the significance of uncovering and addressing core beliefs through EFT.
