Welcome back to another episode of The Provoking Prosperity Podcast, the podcast where we dive deep into personal growth, self-discovery, and the exploration of human design. I'm your host, Miranda Mitchell, and I'm excited to have you join me today for an insightful conversation with our guest, Jeanne Retief. In this episode, we'll be exploring the fascinating world of human design, specifically delving into Jeanne's unique chart and uncovering valuable insights along the way. But before we begin, I want to invite anyone familiar with human design to share their thoughts on seeing a human design graph. It can be a complex system to grasp, but fear not! We'll be starting with the foundational layers and gradually unraveling its mysteries. During a previous episode, certain aspects resonated deeply with me, and I can't wait to dive into Jeanne's chart and explore how it aligns with their true self. We'll discuss the activation of gates, consistency, and the colors associated with certain gates. From the significance of numbers like 12, 44, and 18 to the importance of the colors red and black, this episode is packed with fascinating knowledge. We'll also address the pressures that society places on us to conform, especially in terms of career and success. However, we believe that true success comes from embracing and being true to ourselves, finding our unique path in this world, and letting go of the constant need for competition. So join us as we navigate through the realms of human design, exploring elements like the Chakra system, the tree of life, quantum mechanics, astrology, and the Chinese I'ching, all condensed into a body graph. We'll also touch upon the significance of love, direction, identity, and value in our lives. But first, let's understand the unique experiences of our guest, Jeanne, who not only resonates deeply with the teachings of human design but also connects on an empathic level with the emotions and energy of others. We'll explore how this beautiful gift can be both a blessing and a challenge, and how Jeanne has learned to navigate through this intense sensitivity. Are you ready to unlock the secrets of human design and discover your true self? Then let the journey begin as we dive into Jeanne Retief's chart and explore the profound insights that await us. Stay tuned for an episode filled with self-discovery, guidance, and inspiration.

She offers no secrets to happiness, only candid life experiences, a sacred space where its okay NOT to be okay and a judgment-free community. Sensitive skin was a constant symptom of her diagnosis, and so, after completing her Certificate in Advanced Cosmetic Chemistry she released her luxury skincare experience for sensitive souls with dry skin woes. *Jeanne is South African and now lives in Portugal with her husband, toddler and two dogs.

As I started my conversation with today's guest, Dr. Jeanne Retief, I was reminded of how common our struggles as women are and yet, how we each handle them in our own unique ways. When Jeanne turned 35, she experienced great change, contemplation, confusion, frustration, and joy. She invested so much of her energy in becoming an expert in her field but realized that the career she had built with a single-minded focus no longer fulfilled or inspired her. It was a confusing and frightening realization. Facing a health and soul crisis she decided to make a big change. She integrated her human rights background into FIGGI which allowed her to seek serenity and still experience the adrenaline rush of creating something new. Listen to know more about her FIGGI Life! Dr. Jeanne and I dish on: - How shame is used to control women and keep them stuck - Why we associate our work and success as our identity - The core ingredient when you decide to switch careers - How balance is the big myth and it is okay to do this life imperfectly - Being open and vulnerable in relationships only makes them stronger Purchase your copy of Love Based Feminine Marketing: The Art of Growing a 6-Figure Business Without Hustle, Grind, or Force, (https://tinyurl.com/ydmzb6qz) TODAY!!!

This week on the podcast I am joined by Dr. Jeanne Retief. When Jeanne turned 35, she experienced great change, contemplation, confusion, frustration, and joy. She invested so much of her energy in becoming an expert in her field, but realized that the career she had built with a single-minded focus no longer fulfilled or inspired her. Facing a health and soul crisis she decided to make a big change. She integrated her human rights background into FIGGI Skincare which allowed her to seek serenity and still experience the adrenaline rush of creating something new. On this episode we talk about how a diagnosis led to her starting her own skincare brand, how clear skin comes from within, and why you should be mindful of the foods you consume. We also discuss skincare for dry and sensitive skin, how to get your skin to bounce back after a flare up, minimalist skincare tips and steps, and so much more!

Anxiety…who doesn't deal with it from time to time? Anxiety can actually lead to a more mindful life - even becoming a superpower for sensitive people. How do we unlock the hidden potential of anxiety? How can it actually fuel personal growth? These are things that Dr. Jeanne Retief and I discuss as we explore the “seek for serenity.” Jeanne has a long family history of mental illness and had a difficult home life growing up. She was always an anxious child, but panic disorder manifested in 2015 when she was traveling for work and had an attack that landed her in the emergency room. Despite her background in human rights consulting, Jeanne decided to take a break to focus on her own healing journey. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can help normalize mental health struggles and offer a platform for others to find catharsis and support. “Everyone heals differently.” Weighing options to medicate for mental illness Potential red flags when choosing a healthcare provider Techniques for coping with chronic anxiety and “making friends” with it Reframing self-care as nourishing, not fixing Why meditating doesn't work during periods of severe stress & anxiety Dr. Jeanne's skincare is my new favorite.

There are no secrets to happiness. Life always happens. This is my mantra and what I choose to live by, even though I often fail to remember this. But hey, the constant mental reminders we give ourselves is part of the journey, right? When I turned 35, I experienced great change, contemplation, confusion, frustration, and joy. I had invested so much of my energy in becoming an expert in my field, but I realized that the career I had built with a single-minded focus no longer fulfilled or inspired me. It was a confusing and frightening realization. I wasn't sure why I felt this way or what I wanted to do instead. I integrated my human rights background into FIGGI which allowed me to seek serenity and still experience the adrenaline rush of creating something new. FIGGI represents the journey of seeking and finding value in my inner peace and serenity. Surrounding myself with elements, people, and work that reflects this mantra. To see and believe in my beauty, whatever that may look like. Let go of insecurities all young women tend to carry with them, and not only become comfortable in my own skin but celebrate it. FIGGI is for every woman like me who has struggled, achieved, and still seeks professional and personal purpose. I offer community, truth, a shoulder to cry on and products to help you elevate your selfcare experience. This is what FIGGI is to me! It is my Best Life – It is my FIGGI Life. @jeanne_figgilife https://www.figgilife.com/about/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
