Finding Your Center in the Midst of Chaos

Send us a Message

In episode 158 of The Empowered and Embodied Show, Kim Romain and Louise Neil hit record mid-conversation—and trust us, you’ll be glad they did. What started as a check-in about feeling “wobbly” quickly unraveled into a rich, raw, and real exploration of how planetary shifts, inner pressure, and collective noise can leave us spinning... and how to come back to our center.

Through personal stories, Human Design insights, and plenty of embodied wisdom, they unpack what it means to move through uncertainty with grace, and how to tell the difference between what’s truly yours and what’s just static.

“Personal agency starts with knowing what's yours. Liberation begins when you stop holding what isn’t.” - Kim Romain

“The static is everywhere—socially, politically, personally. But that doesn’t mean we have to amplify it.” - Louise Neil

Key Takeaways:

• Wobble ≠ stuck—there’s power in recognizing the difference
• How planetary shifts amplify inner and outer noise
• The role of Human Design in navigating aligned action
• Real-time tools to return to your body and reset your focus
• Why personal agency and liberation start with asking, “What is mine?”
