In this episode of the Path of the Awakened Heart podcast, Jennifer welcomes Human Design guide and IFS therapist Caitlan Siegenthaler. Together, they explore how blending Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy with Human Design creates a powerful path to deep self-awareness, healing, and aligned living.
Caitlan shares her own journey – from burnout and corporate disillusionment to becoming a therapist and guide for others – explaining how honoring her splenic authority led her to build a life grounded in intuition, truth, and joy. She and Jennifer discuss how Human Design offers a blueprint for self-understanding, while IFS provides the internal tools for deconditioning, integration, and returning to the Self.
They also unpack how to recognize when it’s time to ask for support, how to navigate self-doubt when walking an unconventional path, and the sacred importance of reconnecting to your inner knowing, especially through the body.
