The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good
Radiance, Resilience, + Heart-Led Healing with Akary Busto
In this expansive and heart-centered conversation, I dialogue with Akary Busto: emotional biohacker, HeartMath practitioner, nervous system whisperer, and human design guide, about how we can move from survival to sovereignty. Akary shares her powerful story of growing up between cultures and carrying the weight of her family as a translator, oldest daughter, and bridge between worlds.
We explore what it means to regulate the nervous system, shift outdated survival patterns, and understand our unique energetic blueprint through human design. She walks us through a deeply calming HeartMath coherence practice and shares the science behind why the heart is a more intelligent processor than we ever imagined.
We also talk about parenting, epigenetics, inherited patterns, and how working with children through honoring their design begins with healing and empowering the women who raise them. This episode is full of tender truth, liberating insights, and practical tools to support your nervous system and rewire your life, one breath and one heartbeat at a time.
💚 Topics we cover:
- Akary’s multicultural upbringing and early emotional awakening
- The role of the heart in healing trauma
- Human design as a framework for understanding energy, communication, and parenting
- Why manifesting generators skip steps and how to embrace that
- Epigenetics, inherited trauma, and the power of family constellations in water
- How to expand your window of tolerance and capacity to feel good
✨ Get cozy, breathe deep, and join us in this resonant journey of coming home to yourself.
