    Aug 24, 202519 min

    interrupting the maia games feed to introduce you to my newest podcast project: LIVING YOUR DESIGN . This is the first episode. You can catch the rest on it's own feed. ( listen on spotify ) Check out the description below, and if you're into it be sure to follow / subscribe to the LYD Podcast on your fave podcast platform. Head to patreon.com/kelseyrosetort for perks and resources and to get in orbit with me. The LYD Podcast is Your Comprehensive Introduction to the Human Design System - a free, audio-only release of the standard foundational Human Design curriculum as taught by IHDS Certified LYD Guide, Kelsey Rose Tortorice. This transmission of Human Design fundamentals clarifies the basics, including core principles and mechanics, centers, aura type, strategy, authority, and profile. Kelsey demystifies these concepts so that listeners can understand how every piece is rooted in a clear, cosmic, mechanical system, as well as how they’re all synthesized together for practical, differentiated, embodied application. The LYD podcast is a great place to begin your Human Design studies. It's also a fitting place to fill in the holes from self-study, to challenge the superficial understandings that are especially susceptible to mental distortion, or to revisit these foundations with the intent to integrate them in a more rooted, intuitive, personal, and radically honest way.
