How long have you two been doing what you do?
To answer this question, it’s probably best that I share with you a defining moment, and a resulting “compelling story” that brought me to where I am today, as well as how Davidian and I teamed up, as full-time business partners, mentoring local businesses, as well as online entrepreneurs.
That defining life moment, happened when trying to leave a corporate career.
I consider myself a serial entrepreneur. Lots of highs and lows. I’ve been starting businesses since high school. Just out of college, I started a multimedia performance group out of my living room. Within four short years, we were hugely successful. Performing with major bands like Jane’s Addiction, War, compared to STOMP, performing in ten-minute segments for $10K. It was ego success, but without the soul service satisfaction. The transformation of this life journey is for another day. (This group was actually featured in many books but has it’s own chapter here: “On the Edge of Utopia: Performance and ritual at Burning Man by Rachel Bowditch).

So, after this experience I longed for service driven work. It was then, I found my way into a health and fitness organization serving women business owners in health which turned out to be, the fastest growing franchise in the history of the US. I worked with hundreds of women entrepreneurs, to help grow their businesses. I traveled all over the world assisting entrepreneurs on how to increase their business success. I also opened one of the top grossing stores in the country, selling it in 2 years for a quarter of a million dollars. So, I have had my share of business experience. But all of these successes came at a price. Burnout, boredom, dissatisfaction, and not being fully seen for my unique genius.
Ultimately, I decided it was time to launch my own business reflecting my inner spiritual core. I tried as many methods as I could possibly find, but nothing really worked for me. I found and purchased a raw vegan juice bar for passive income as I grew my business. This is when stuff really started to go south. You know what they say, you can’t ride high until you crash and burn and eat shizz. Well, this was my crash and burn moment. My ugly bitter crying on the tile in the bathroom life moment:
So, it was a Friday night in LA’s notoriously horrific traffic. If you know LA or the 405 freeway, I need not tell you what level of hell realm I was in. I had already worked a 12-hour day, which was the norm back then. I was facing extreme exhaustion both personally and financially and was on the verge of losing my house and entire life savings. Employees were texting me 24/7 with one panic after another. It was excruciating and in my slow crawl back to my juice bar, to put out yet another fire, I got to thinking.
I just couldn’t understand how I got to that point of failure and frustration.
This was not the reality I was working to create! I had studied spirituality my whole life. I even have my Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology! I’ve worked with shamanic teachers since I was in my early 20s – even Don Miguel Ruiz (before he was famous!).
I knew I could create my reality and had traveled to the ancient cities of the world, to learn everything I could about the mysteries of the world and how to best connect with Spirit. I was a seasoned seeker of the modern mystical experience, and I knew better than this.
I realized that there must be a piece of the puzzle missing.
This is when most people have one of those super mystical moments. Often at this time of people’s story, this is the angel sighting or guide coming through and providing the life wisdom you are longing for. For me it was just a thought, I couldn’t get out of my head. I can’t say it was that magical, but I did have a gnawing thought…that lead me to RADICALLY CHANGE MY LIFE.

I remembered something my new BF at the time had said... (yes, Davidian, my now amazing fiancé and business partner in this work) told me I was a Projector in Human Design and we weren’t designed to work these long hours? He also said in Human Design if you commit to living your unique Success Code, your life will unfold you to awaken to your life purpose. So, because nothing explained me better than this (everything I heard about being a Projector pretty much nailed me!).
So here I am driving bumper to bumper on the 405 literally weeping in the car. This just cannot go on like this. I decided in that moment, to sell the store, and study everything there was to know about Human Design! I just stopped going into the store and woke up in the morning and started studying Human Design.
This is when things started to unfold in a much easier way for me. The bitterness and pain melted away. Now, just for the sake of the transparency, I did go through a FULL-ON dark night of the soul, trying to sell the store, being unable to work at the store during this process and being on the verge of losing my entire investment because I was willing to walk away if it didn’t sell. It was far more boring, complicated, and pain stackingly intense than I can explain without also writing a book. (which is coming soon BTW!!)
I had also at this point exhausted every Law of Attraction book, along with numerous other self-help manuals that now collect dust on my bookshelves. I had also invested 10’s of thousands of dollars on high-end coaching that pointed me in the worst, least-correct-for-me directions. I had studied with enlightened spiritual teachers, had a decade of doing therapy, and shadow work. I left no stone unturned and yet I still found myself at the lowest point of my life.

I just couldn’t make my career work. You will probably hear about this experience, in some form, from many Projectors. My point is, once I survived that fiasco and as I learned how to live my Design, I began to notice doors slowly opening. More than that, though, I began to relax into WHO I REALLY WAS. I began to feel energized again, and the joy started to come back.
Did I become a millionaire the next day in my business—NO! Please MG’s stop with the marketing materials on this! However, I was given everything I needed each step to invest in high-end coaching (Human Design based ONLY), receive my first clients, launched my online business Programs without the #hustle, and it was so MUCH FRIGGIN' FUN!! Whereas the juice bar daily grind and the corporate career was exhausting...pretty much a worse torture than having your teeth pulled daily.
So, my bliss in living my JOY began!! And I began to love waking up every day, slowing down, being myself, simplifying my life, and allowing my business to explode by me being me!
I started to feel satisfied, which only deepened, as I aligned more and more with my TRUTH.
Up until that point, I had worked with a ton of coaches, strategists, and spiritual teachers and realized that there was exciting, new intel available on the planet teaching how to have a successful life that most teachings are missing. And it was working for me for the VERY FIRST TIME!

Davidian and I began to pore over everything we could find about Human Design. We were so intrigued and excited by the intel, we began to LIVE IT FULL-TIME, and decided to work as a team. It wasn’t a conscious decision, as in something we did with our MINDS, but rather as we dedicated ourselves to living our Design, things magically unfolded that way!
We learned our Business Design, and lived our business, our purpose, our individual Strategies and Inner Authorities, and our life took on this magical new dimension. Synchronicities occurred daily, magical encounters became our new normal, life took on an entirely new experience.

Soon friends and loved ones were coming to us for guidance. It became clear that helping people find the missing pieces of their puzzles was my (and our) true purpose.
With Davidian’s help, I found a new way to live and thrive within the ever-changing tide and started showing other spiritually-minded entrepreneurs how they can do the same and then watched them change their lives, by allowing their own uniqueness to guide them too!

We have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of our professional life to helping others achieve their goals. We do this through a variety of different ways.
Davidian and I have now helped hundreds of our clients and thousands with our content.
I personally, have been featured as an expert in various fields, spoken on several podcasts and radio shows.
More recently I’ve also been in Spiritual Badass Magazine and, glossed the cover of Spiritual Biz Magazine. I have been featured on ShoutOut LA, Voyage LA, and we've grown our community of mutants to over 60,000 strong!

We now find ourselves committed to serving our community on a deep level to help people discover the truth of who they are. The most empowering part of this work is the realization that once you fully actualize with the Human Design knowledge you will never give your authority over to any outside influence. You will not let friends, family, your past, your boss, your fears, your government, your community, or anyone make any decision FOR YOU ever again. You will be empowered in your own personalized GPS system that will lead you to a life you love, if you have the courage to follow it.
