You may have heard that ‘you have all the wisdom within,’ but how do you access those answers, much less integrate them in your *real* life? The Possibility Experiment is for the spiritually-curious who desire more autonomy, peace, calm, joy, and flow in their everyday lives. Kristin and Susan are hypnotherapists, Inner Voice facilitators, mothers and Human Design 3|5 emotional authorities who love experimenting and discovering what it means to live a spiritual life while still having “real world responsibilities” (hello day jobs, budgets and laundry). We’ll discuss our real life conundrums and channel our inner voices for fresh perspectives and practical solutions for you to try, too.If you are open to the possibility of a more magical and aligned life, learn more and subscribe at www.possibilityexperiment.com.
