76. When Your Body Knows Before Your Mind Does: Human Design, Intuition and Aliveness
There was no crisis. No breakdown, no rock bottom. Just a quiet dimming that Marissa Liesen couldn't ignore, the sense she was living at a fraction of her aliveness. She had the career as a COO, the relationship, the big-city life in Chicago she'd worked years to build, and underneath it a creeping feeling that this wasn't quite it. I spend a lot of my coaching time in this exact space, with people who look successful from the outside and are quietly craving to reconnect with something they can't name. After her dad passed suddenly and then the world locked down, Marissa stopped leading from the front of her brain and started letting her body and her intuition steer. Over two years she left the relationship, the career and the city, and followed a pull all the way to Lisbon, and now Amsterdam. We get into what it feels like when your body knows something your mind hasn't caught up with yet, how she uses human design to build a life and business around who she actually is, the risk of over-identifying with a type, and why a place where nobody knows who you were before can set you free. "This is not me and my full aliveness."
