[59:18] Outro of the Podcast
As far as knowing human design, experiment with it, really try it on. It's a tool that can really be leveraged to just help you better see yourself. If it doesn't do that, disregard it or find someone else who can present it in a package that is more aligned with how you want to see yourself. - Arianna Maag
As opposed to thinking, Oh I need to manifest this perfect job or this perfect partner or this perfect house when really, you want to feel safe, you want to feel seen, you want to feel loved. And there are ways that you can do that in your every day now, as opposed to just waiting for it, to be delivered on your doorstep or in your inbox. -Arianna Maag
When actually what you want, like when you funnel it down, you don't want that job making that much money or that much vacation, you actually just want freedom. You can get freedom today by listening to your type of strategy and authority and creating little pockets of it in your day until you create bigger pockets and bigger containers for it. - Arianna Maag

[54:29] Narrowing down some questions like how do I want to feel? How do I want my job to feel? How do I want my relationship to feel? These are my compasses and it makes it easier for me to make decisions in my day to day
[57:30] It’s all information. We get to choose what we want to do with it, if we want to act on it or not
