We talk through the importa...

It’s the end of the year, which means it’s about that time when we’re bombarded with messages like “new year, new you,” and reflecting on what we did (and didn’t) accomplish.

Talking about loss is really uncomfortable. Most of us were never taught how to talk about grief, so when someone we love is going through grief, we don’t always know the right things to say.

Human design is an increasingly popular method of self-exploration to promote your growth both personally and professionally, but it is not a personality test.
