What does it mean to live true to your own design — even when society pulls you in another direction?
In this conversation, Jill Novak and Chelsey Beda explore how finding your sovereignty often means risking the loss of traditional belonging — and why it's worth it.Using Human Design as a lens, Chelsey explains how each of us has an innate energetic blueprint, much like Ayurveda’s Doshas reveal our constitutional nature. Human Design draws on your birth chart to uncover how you are naturally meant to operate — whether you're a Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, or Reflector.
We explore how social conditioning encourages conformity, but how travel, exposure to different cultures, and inner work can reveal the unconscious patterns we've absorbed — and offer a path to reclaiming our true essence.
Chelsey also shares the unique Energy Strategies of the five Human Design types, highlighting how honoring our individual designs fosters not just personal freedom, but deeper cooperation and cohesion in community.
When each of us shows up as who we were truly meant to be, we create cultures rooted in authenticity, mutual support, and the celebration of each other’s innate gifts.
Topics Covered:
How Human Design complements the wisdom of Ayurveda
Why fitting in can cost you your authenticity
The role of travel and exposure in breaking societal conditioning
The 5 Aura Types of Human Design and their unique strategies
How true belonging begins with sovereign self-expression
Join us for this empowering exploration of sovereignty, intuition, and the courage to live as your true self.

What if five minutes of movement could change your entire day — or your life? In this playful and powerful episode, Jill is joined by Lea Wiens, founder of MovementMentor.org, a passionate movement educator, physical literacy advocate, and the creator of Movement Snacks — short, joyful movement breaks designed to reset your body and mind in just five minutes.
Lea’s journey spans decades of teaching—from lifeguarding and running high-energy Fit Chicks classes to now guiding individuals, workplaces, and elite organizations to reconnect with movement as a form of nourishment, not punishment. Her teaching is rooted in physiology and evidence-based research, but fueled by heart, humor, and the belief that movement should be fun, inclusive, and deeply healing.
Together, Jill and Lea unpack the science behind these powerful mini-breaks and challenge the outdated "no pain, no gain" mentality that still dominates our culture.
They explore:
Why movement is medicine for body, mind, and spiritThe importance of physical literacy and fun — especially for those who feel “unathletic”How yoga and movement support emotional resilience and stress regulationThe impact of social connection and community-based fitness Why every small movement matters — and how to start where you areLea’s work isn’t about crushing workouts or burning calories. It’s about reconnecting with your body, building sustainable habits, and shifting the reason we move in the first place — from punishment to pleasure, from performance to presence.
🌟 You’ll leave this episode inspired to take just five minutes — and maybe even a dance break — to change the course of your day.

This gem of an episode was just too good not to bring back. Originally recorded last spring, this conversation with Ayurvedic Doctor Kulwinder Rajewal has become a seasonal favourite—so we’re pulling it from the vault to share again. Her advice is timeless, practical, and powerful for anyone looking to align with the natural rhythms of Spring.
Dr. Kulwinder offers Ayurvedic assessments at Synergy Collaborative Health each quarter. A perfect rhythm to help you transition well into each new season.

How to melt and move out the Kapha—the sticky, heavy energy that builds in winter
Why bitter, pungent tastes are your best allies right now
What morning routines can kickstart your inner fire
Daily rituals that support detox through the skin, lungs, and gut

Feeling inspired? Join our Spring Cleanse or start building the habit of seasonal realignment. Your body already knows what to do—sometimes it just needs the right nudge.

In this episode Jill interviews Charlene. They talk about the constant internal battle we all face between Concrete Data and Intuition. Charlene shares her journey from an engineering background to embracing her intuition. For years, Charlene ignored health issues, until they became so severe, she was forced to stop working. Initially seeking prescriptions and medical support, she found the holistic approach to be transformative, affecting not just her physical symptoms but also her mental and emotional well-being. She expresses how a shift from an analytical to an intuitive mindset, acknowledging the importance of intuition in her life, is allowing her to feel more fulfilled and confident. Ayurveda was new to her, but she gave it a chance as "Its been around for thousands of years and so must have some truth to it". Charlene's shift from being a "doer" focused on others to prioritizing self-care and setting boundaries has positively impacted her parenting style, leading to a more patient and connected relationship with her children and a better relationship with her Self.

In this episode of Sister Science Stories, Jill and Chelsey discuss what is needed for the Feminine Traits, outlined in last week’s episode, to flow freely. Just as the banks of a river define its course and prevent water from spreading everywhere, metaphorical "banks" provide structure and guidance, keeping energy focused and within healthy parameters. The right container gives Feminine Energy the structure and boundaries it needs to move with power and grace.
Chelsey beautifully uses the image of a boat in water to illustrate how we can support ourselves in moving with grace and surrender through life’s tides. Together, they discuss the power of centring anchors—routines, self-discipline, and self-awareness—to navigate inevitable change.
Drawing from Ayurvedic principles and nature’s rhythms, they explore how understanding one’s unique constitution brings balance and renewal. Practical tips include maintaining a consistent morning and evening routine, staying hydrated, and incorporating play and creativity into daily life. They also emphasize the importance of community support and self-trust in embracing life’s ever-changing landscape.
This Episode Invites You To:✅ Explore your unique constitution and what grounds and centers you
✅ Develop awareness of your personal cycles and rhythms, learning to ride the tides of your energy
✅ Strengthen your core values and integrity as an "eternal keel" for stability
✅ Maintain a balanced perspective: face new challenges with courage while honoring past wisdomTune in to discover how structure and flow can coexist, allowing you to move through transitions with grace and confidence.

Chelsey and I often turn to each other to work through blocks, beliefs, and patterns that hold us back.

✨ What feminine traits really are (beyond stereotypes).
✨ How intuition, flow, and deep listening guide creation and healing.
✨ Practical ways to recognize, nurture, and work with feminine energy in our lives.

In this episode, we delve into the concept of Ahimsa, or non-violence—the first of the Yamas in yoga’s ethical framework. Darlene Ouimet and Jill explore their personal journeys with this principle, discussing how Ahimsa shapes their daily lives and relationships. The Yamas and Niyamas, the foundational guidelines in yoga’s Eight Limbs, offer a path to living in harmony with ourselves and others. These ethical principles teach us how to cultivate non-violence, truth, and integrity, setting the stage for a loving relationship with ourselves that extends into the world.
Jill also introduces Sister Science’s Year of EXPANSION, a 40-week course inspired by Deborah Adele's The Yama & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Principles.
