Gearing Up For a New Quarter: A Season of Planting

by candy barone Feb 02, 2024

January once again is done. Put a fork in him and let’s move our energy onto bigger and better things. Our period of recalibration is also coming to an end. As the fourth quarter of the Human Design cycle ends today. 

Over the past few years, especially in and after the pandemic, I have felt more and more like the New Year...

How an Unexpected Sabbatical Put Me on the Path to Becoming Aligned AF

by candy barone Jan 23, 2024

I had a complete meltdown.

I mean the ugly kind of uncontrollable crying, can’t find the words, feeling the rails are completely coming off, meltdown.

I felt like I was at my breaking point. Like the dam had finally burst.

And, I couldn’t take one more second of it.

That happened the day after Memorial Day in 2022.

I was crashing...

Are you really ready to dial into the energy and power of the new year?

Did you know that the energetic theme for 2024 is all about stepping fully into AUTHENTIC ALIGNMENT versus the urge, conditioning, or belief that we need to push, force, or make shit happen through sheer WILLPOWER?

When We Feel We Are No Longer Able to Change a Situation, We Are Challenged Then to Change Ourselves

by candy barone Jan 17, 2024

As Victor Frankl wrote in Man’s Search for Meaning, 

“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own...

3 Ways to Pay Meaningful Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

by candy barone Jan 15, 2024

This past few years have been tumultuous, challenging, eye-opening, disheartening, encouraging, hope-filled, disparaging, heartbreaking, educational, and every other adjective I can think of.

In the middle of a pandemic, we also found ourselves face-to-face with the ugly truth of what systemic racism looks like in this country, and in the world....

What We Measures Grow, But Are We Looking At the Right Metrics?

by candy barone Jan 14, 2024

What we measure grows. 

Or, as Peter F. Drucker, well-known management theory consultant and author stated: “If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.”

Without the right metrics, you are essentially shooting in the dark. As such, it becomes difficult to know what to actually focus on, where to tweak or...

How Using Human Design Is Getting Me Aligned AF for 2024

by candy barone Jan 13, 2024

“You’re not wired that way.”

“That’s not what alignment looks like for you.”

Those words reverberated over my brain for several days after receiving my first Human Design reading.

I couldn’t believe it. 

After all these years of hustling and killing myself, I realized that form em shoulding and...

When the Muse Calls … Make Sure You Pay Attention and Listen

by candy barone Jan 12, 2024

I wake up so many times in the middle of the night and I have to write. I mean like the words are bursting forth and it feels like a dam is about to break. Often, it happens in the witching hour when that inspiration calls to me and urges me awake from my slumber.

Sometimes, I fight that urge, not wanting to move from the soft, warm...

Demystifying Human Design … And, No It's Not Some Kind of Witchcraft

by candy barone Jan 11, 2024

It’s easy to villainize what we don’t understand.

Take Human Design, for instance …

Recently I received a comment on one of my posts about the foundational Human Design readings I was offering at the end of the year telling me that I was now “practicing extreme witchcraft.” I’ve had another person...

Forget 'New Year, New You'; Instead Focus on 'True You, Aligned You'

by candy barone Jan 10, 2024

I am tired of hearing the same old adage every year on January 1st: “New Year, New You”—as if something is fundamentally wrong with the who I am now. We insist on putting all our energy on this arbitrary switch that somehow everything in our life is magically going to change. 

There also is an implication in both that...
