In this episode, I'm introducing the first two steps of the Empress Method: Expanding Love and The Mirror.I share how the Empress Method came through, why these two steps are the foundation of embodied sovereignty, and how expanding love is not about bypassing or positivity, but about increasing capacity, safety, and truth in the body.We explore how the mirror works in real life and relationships, why what triggers or inspires you is never random, and how these reflections are invitations into deeper self-trust and self-leadership.I also weave in personal stories, lived examples of expanding love, and insights around Line 5 energy in Human Design, including projection, leadership, and why Empresses are often seen as mirrors before they are fully understood.This episode is for you if you're ready to:Stop outsourcing your powerUnderstand your reflections instead of resisting themLead yourself with love, clarity, and embodied authorityStep more fully into your Empress Era_____________________________________________________________________I am calling in women who are ready to be deeply supported in 2026. The Year of the Empress isn't about doing more. It's about being held while you remember who you are.This year is for the woman who is done living in survival, done leading from tension, done earning rest, and ready to receive support, safety, and sovereignty as her new baseline.There are three doorways into the Year of the Empress:

This episode is the origin story of Phoenix Rising.I share how this portal was conceived over a year ago, how my body has been preparing for it without my mind fully knowing, and how the pieces finally clicked into place through my own initiation, devotion, and lived experience.This is not a logistics episode.It's a transmission.I paint the felt sense of what Phoenix Rising actually is, what it feels like to arrive, to be held, to shed the warrior era, and to move through a five-day in-person portal that opens into a year-long initiation inside The Path of the Empress.If your body has been craving rest without collapse, depth without performance, and transformation without force, this episode will speak to you.There is nothing to sign up for here.No link.No pitch.Just an invitation for the eight women who are meant to hear it to feel the yes in their bodies and reach out when they're ready.If this episode lands, trust that.Your body knows what to do next.___________________________________________The Phoenix Rising: The Year of the Empress portal is open!
In this episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal experience that marked a turning point in my nervous system, my capacity to receive, and my relationship with my body.This conversation centers around my work with Ronnie Landis, a holistic health educator, somatic practitioner, and guide whose work is rooted in one core truth: our greatest power lies in our innate ability to self-heal, evolve, and transform.___________________________________________Ronnie's mission is to awaken the spark of genius within the hearts and minds of those he serves, guiding people back to the source of their vitality, creativity, and embodied wisdom.His work is grounded in the integration of mind, body, and spirit, supporting a life filled with vibrancy, endurance, clarity, and purpose. With over 20 years of training in holistic health, nutrition, herbalism, sports performance and rehabilitation, advanced somatic therapy, and peak performance strategy, Ronnie brings a deeply embodied and practical approach to healing.At the heart of his philosophy is this truth: Health is the ultimate wealth.As we cultivate wholeness within ourselves, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, we naturally become more capable of contributing to the healing of the world around us. CLICK HERE to learn more about Ronnie.___________________________________________In this episode, I open up about:- How I first connected with Ronnie and what immediately stood out to me about his presence and approach- My experience attending the Somatic Dojo in Austin and the energetic field it holds- Two powerful three-hour 1:1 somatic sessions that deeply impacted my nervous system and sense of safety- An invitation to experience the Somatic Dojo yourself, either on its own or alongside my upcoming retreat___________________________________________
In this episode, I'm sharing all the highs and lows from this year. It was equally the worst and best year of my life, and now that I'm mostly on the other side, I'm so grateful for everything that I navigated!

Episode #342: Daniel Donato became one of Nashville's more revered electric guitar players during his three years playing four nights a week at Robert's Western World on Lower Broadway. When he lost that gig in 2015, he had to start from scratch as a working musician and songwriting artist. In his second appearance on The String, Donato talks about landing some touring band gigs that sustained him while he developed his Cosmic Country concept. The band and his repute grew, and ten years after leaving Broadway, he headlined the Ryman Auditorium. Also on the table here, his two recent albums, Reflector and Horizons.

Send us a textFor part 2 with Human Design expert Lauren Noble, we unpack the six foundational lines and how they combine into the twelve profiles that shape purpose, relationships, and the way your energy actually wants to move through the world. If you've ever wondered why research soothes you, why alone time turns on your genius, or why people project their fantasies onto you, this conversation gives you a clear map and practical next steps.We break down conscious versus unconscious lines and why your Sun and Earth placements anchor most of your energetic expression. Lauren walks us through each line with real, lived examples. Along the way, we explore karmic tracks and how profile dynamics show up in families, work, and love.If Human Design has felt abstract, this episode translates it into daily choices that reduce friction and increase ease.If this helped you see your profile with fresh eyes, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a quick review so more curious listeners can find the show.To learn more about Lauren or to work with her: Visit: www.noblealignment.comFollow on Instagram & TikTok: @NobleAlignmentClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

STARKVILLE, Miss. — A Mississippi State University student has been arrested and charged with disturbing the peace following an incident over the weekend involving Dave Portnoy, founder and owner of Barstool Sports. Portnoy was recording a "One Bite" pizza review outside a Starkville restaurant on Nov. 7, when someone made an antisemitic comment and threw coins at him. A video of the incident, which was posted to X, has since gone viral. The Starkville Police Department said in a statement that it was made aware of the video over the weekend. McClintock, 20, was arrested Monday and was released after he was processed. "Every person has the right to feel safe and respected in our community," Sgt. G. Brandon Lovelady said in the statement. "Offensive words alone are protected, but when behavior disrupts a public event or risks violence, the Starkville Police Department will take steps to help maintain safety and security." MSU student newspaper, The Reflector, reported that McClintock is a junior majoring in mechanical engineering.
I'll be honest: when friends started telling me I "had to get my Human Design chart read," I was skeptical. Another personality test? But then I sat down with Emma Dunwoody, and everything changed.Unlike every other profiling tool out there, Human Design doesn't ask you a single question. Instead, it reads your energetic blueprint based on the exact moment and place you were born. And here's what blew my mind: Emma saw things in my chart that I've felt my entire life but never had the language to express.In this episode, Emma (behavioral specialist, Human Design expert, and author of Human Design Made Simple) breaks down exactly what Human Design is and why it's taking the personal development world by storm. We explore what Human Design actually is and how it differs from astrology, the five energy types and why knowing yours changes everything, and why so many of us feel exhausted because we're fighting against our natural design. Whether you're Human Design curious or have no idea what any of this means, Emma makes it accessible, practical, and honestly... life changing. This conversation gave me permission to stop trying to be someone I'm not, and I have a feeling it'll do the same for you.Connect with Emma Dunwoody: emmadunwoody.comLink to her book: Human Design Made SimpleEmma Dunwoody on Instagram: the_human_design_coachConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com

A few months ago, two of the most prolific podcasters of all time reached out to me with a simple message: We have an incredible story, and we think your audience at Tangle should hear it.The podcasters, Andy Mills and Matthew Boll, are sharp journalists with an eye for important investigations. Mills is the co-creator of The Daily at The New York Times, the most listened-to news podcast in the world, and he produced the successful limited series Rabbit Hole (on internet algorithms). Boll helped build the podcasting company Gimlet and worked on award-winning podcasts like Crimetown. Together, they created two of my favorite podcasts of the last few years, The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling and the documentary-style podcast Reflector. So when these two guys told me they had a story I'd have to hear to truly understand, my ears perked up. The story is about a debate — the debate of all debates, according to some of our country's smartest people — whose outcome could literally determine the future of the human race: How serious is the threat from artificial intelligence? It turns out the answer to this question is not nearly as straightforward as one might hope. The debate is now setting some of the smartest, wealthiest, and most influential people in the world against each other, with no clear traditional political dividing lines and even less clarity on whose argument might win the day.Since March, Mills and Boll have been investigating this debate along with a team of journalists from their investigative reporting outlet, Longview, including former NPR correspondent and podcast host Gregory Warner. They decided to share their notes, rough cuts, and behind-the-scenes discussions exclusively with our team. It is precisely the kind of balanced, curious reporting we strive to do here at Tangle — peeling back the layers of the biggest stories of our time. Today, we're introducing that story to you, in written form, and in partnership with Longview. We also encourage you to go listen and subscribe to their podcast series, The Last Invention, which is the most riveting deep dive on artificial intelligence that I've come across.

If you're a Reflector in Human Design who's been told to "make quick decisions," "pick one focus and stick to it," or "be consistent with your content and messaging" - and you're wondering why you always feel like you're swimming upstream or trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - this episode is for you. As a Reflector, you're literally designed to completely change how we think about growing businesses - how we approach timing, patience, spaciousness, wisdom, and decision-making. Most business advice assumes you work like everyone else, and you don't. That's exactly why you need a completely different approach.In this episode, I share:
In today's episode, I sit down with my dear friend and right-hand woman Taylor Giacin for a spicy Ask Me Anything session.

If you're a Reflector, you've probably felt overwhelmed by content advice that tells you to "show up consistently every day" or "always be selling." When you're only 1% of the population, most business advice just wasn't designed for how you operate. In this Human Design business episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to create the conditions that support your natural cycles and reflective wisdom, rather than forcing you into constant action that drains your energy.In this episode, I share:
Scientists at the University of Auckland are working with the New Zealand Defence Force to develop a low-cost floating reflector to help satellites find people lost at sea. One of the project's leaders, scientist Tom Dowling, spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Have you ever felt like you're picking up on things no one else seems to notice? You might just be experiencing the world like a Reflector. In this final episode of the Human Design Type Series, we're shining a light on the most rare and misunderstood type—those who reflect the energy of their environment with powerful clarity. Nicole unpacks what makes Reflectors so unique, from their lunar connection to their ability to sense the undercurrents of a group or community. She explores the truth behind their so-called “lack of energy,” the beauty of their fluid nature, and why embracing this ever-changing rhythm is key to their alignment and purpose. You'll learn how Reflectors can move from feeling overwhelmed or out of place to becoming trusted guides and intuitive leaders—without forcing themselves to fit into the world's mold. Nicole also shares why creating space, time, and freedom is non-negotiable for Reflectors to truly thrive. Whether you are a Reflector, know one, or are simply curious about how different energies move through the world, this episode offers a fresh perspective that just might change how you see yourself—or someone close to you.

What is the essence of Cancer?How might ferocious protection intersect with tender care in the cardinal waters?What does it mean to wait a lunar cycle?In this episode, I invited esoteric scientist and poet Kodie Smiley to explore the archetype of Cancer, her rising sign. We discussed themes of protection, nurturing, and provocation through the lens of Cancer, filtered through Kodie's deep knowledge and experience of Human Design and The Gene Keys. We also shared the experience of grappling with our rising signs and waiting through a lunar cycle as a metaphor for coming into terms with our spiritual contracts in this lifetime.Here's Kodie's bio: "Hi, I am Kodie, a 6/3 Reflector born on the LAX of Dominion 2 (64/63 45/26). I am Virgo Sun, Cancer Rising, Aquarius Moon. I am a mother, a poet, a philosopher, a lover, a dreamer, a way finder, an innovative thinker. I am not here to conform, but to question new worlds into reality.I share from the language of Human Design. This system, to me, is not one of science but of deep self initiation into our most primordial, sovereign embodiment. Our bodygraph is the blueprint of the highly intelligent life force that we came to this world to remember.My work reveals the covert universal energetic connections that intricately weave through our existence and bind us to one another, illuminating the fascinating relationships we share with the cosmos."LINKS:The Observatory, Kodie's membership space: https://www.entertheobservatory.com/the-observatory-membershipThe Observatory Substack: https://observationsentangled.substack.com/The Observatory Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-observatory-podcast/id1763512306Kodie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kodie.smiley/ If you've enjoyed and benefited from the podcast, I invite you to apply for private mentorship and coaching with me.
