EPISODE TEASER

I don’t know if you’re familiar with the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. There’s a moment where he needs to save his father, and he finds himself standing in front of a canyon — an enormous gap with no visible path. The only instruction is to step forward in faith.

He takes one step into what looks like emptiness… and a hidden bridge appears beneath his feet. It was an optical illusion — and a powerful lesson about trust.

That’s exactly how I feel right now.

EPISODE SUMMARY

This episode is for you if you’re in a transition phase. Maybe you’ve closed the door on your previous life, but the new one hasn’t formed yet. You’ve stepped out of what was familiar, but you’re not fully in what you want for your future — and this in-between space can bring so many questions. You might feel you can’t move the way you used to, yet you don’t know how you will move in your life going forward.

Today’s episode illustrates this beautifully. It’s a coaching session — as some of my episodes are — and if you want to listen to more sessions, you can find them wherever you see “Coaching” followed by the person’s name. In this one, I’m coaching Aline, a Manifesting Generator with a 5/1 profile in Human Design. If you’re curious about your own design, you can easily generate your chart by searching “create my free Human Design chart” on Google and entering your birth details.

This episode will be especially relevant if you’re a Manifesting Generator, if you have a line 5 or line 1 in your profile, or if anything I just said sounded like another language. And if it did, just message me — on Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook at Gloria Jensen Coaching — and I’ll happily guide you.

It’s actually the first time I have a Manifesting Generator in one of my podcast coaching sessions. It’s fun, because over the last three months I’ve had so many Projectors, and I was really hoping to bring in a different type so you can all recognize parts of yourselves as listeners. If you’ve heard the other sessions, I’m curious to see how you feel her energy.

If Human Design is new to you, here’s the simplest way to describe it: it’s your user manual. When you buy a new dishwasher, you look at the manual to understand how it works. We’re all born with one, but most of the time we never receive it. Through life experiences — and through the conditioning of parents, school, and society — we often move away from who we truly are. My work is helping you come back to your natural way of operating through the powerful tools I use, one of which is Human Design. If you want your own reading, you’ll find the link in the show notes.

Back to this episode. You’ll hear us explore a new way of looking at energy — especially if you feel you’re lacking energy lately. You’ll also hear insights about flow, a word that is very important to me as a surfer, but even more so because I believe flow is our most natural state. It’s where we experience less resistance, more ease, more joy, and more impact. It’s something I help my clients embody so that life becomes more aligned and opportunities come more naturally.

We also talk about the ups and downs of life and how to move with them, especially if you struggle to stick to routines and then start judging yourself. You’ll get a new perspective on that too.

Aline has made big decisions in her life — and some unexpected circumstances also deconstructed pillars she relied on. She’s now standing in front of a new field, wondering what she wants to grow there. I know this moment very well because I’ve lived it myself. Different circumstances, but the same feeling: things falling apart, some by choice, some not… and the question of “How do I move from here?”

This in-between phase can feel destabilizing and uncomfortable, but it’s also extremely powerful. If you’re in that place, I usually recommend taking a real break — breathing in, breathing out, not forcing things to move — but instead learning to move from a different place inside yourself. From your heart. From your body. And that’s exactly where Aline is right now.

I hope you feel curious and inspired by this conversation. And if you’d like to be coached on the podcast, the link to apply is in the show notes. If you’re drawn to this podcast, chances are high that I can help you — and that this space is right for you.

Enjoy this new episode!

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

A Time of Change and Reflection

Aline’s story begins with an intense phase of her life in 2025. Faced with the dual challenges of personal loss and a demanding career, she reached a pivotal point where the familiar structures of her life were deconstructed. Leaving her coveted position at Netflix was not an easy decision, yet it marked the beginning of a metamorphosis. Recognizing the need for a break, Aline set out on a quest to redefine her dreams and interests.

During our session, Aline shared her struggle with energy fluctuations. Discussing these ups and downs, we explored human design as a tool to better understand and navigate her unique energy patterns. As a manifesting generator in human design, Aline learned the importance of flowing with her natural rhythms rather than fighting against them.

Embracing Flow

One of the session’s key revelations was the significance of flow in Aline’s journey. Often, we impose rigid structures on our lives, only to find they restrict rather than empower us. By letting go of control, Aline was encouraged to trust in life’s process—a powerful shift from action-oriented to fluid, responsive living.

This newfound perspective resonated with Aline, who understood the necessity of easing her rigid control and letting her heart guide her actions. The essence of moving with the flow is in minimizing resistance, allowing energy to guide us naturally.

Dreaming Anew

At the heart of Aline’s journey is her quest to dream a new dream—to create a vision aligned with her evolving self. During a workshop, she articulated her dream for humanity: a world where every woman feels safe and can blossom. This ambitious vision anchored her path forward and tied to her strong desire to work in women’s health and security from a business perspective.

Together, we encouraged Aline to embrace her dream, to let it blossom without fear of its ambition or vastness. This acceptance was a crucial step in her pursuit of alignment and purpose, setting the stage for meaningful action.

EPISODE CONCLUSION

How was this coaching session for you? What insights did you receive?

I’m always curious to hear how these conversations land for you and how they guide you on your path.

There was also something I wanted to share during the session — you might have heard me say “there’s something I want to tell you, but I can’t remember what it is.” It came back to me afterwards.

There is a moment in the session when we talk about how silence — or simply taking a real break — creates space for something new to emerge. I mention creativity, and that brought me back to an experience I had many years ago.

In 2020, right as the pandemic was beginning, I went on a Vipassana meditation retreat. If you don’t know it, it’s a 10-day silent retreat: nine full days without speaking, no phone, no computer, no book, no pen, no distraction.

Just you… with yourself.

You wake up around 4 or 5 a.m., meditate for about ten hours a day, eat breakfast and lunch, no dinner… and you do that for nine days straight. On the last day, you finally talk with the people you’ve been sitting next to for so long without exchanging a single word. It’s a very unique experience.

It can seem scary.

A friend recently asked me about it because she wants to do one herself, and on my Instagram I actually have a highlight where I documented each day of the retreat.

What I want to share with you today is this: Silence creates enormous space for creativity.

During those days, because nothing new was coming into my system — no phone, no social media, no conversations, no information — suddenly ideas, clarity, and insights started to rise from within.

Of course, I couldn’t write any of it down, which was frustrating, but the main ideas stayed with me long after.

If you imagine your mind like an empty glass… When we constantly pour water into it (all the noise, all the inputs, all the content we consume), there is no room for anything else.

But when we stop the inflow, the glass becomes spacious — and something new can appear.

Speaking about this now, I feel again how powerful that experience was.

And yes — I would love to do it again one day, even if, with a baby who still needs me a lot, I’m not sure when it will be possible.

But here’s what I know for sure:

We’re here on earth to let other people benefit from our gifts.

And if you feel called to work with me, simply reach out.

I always start with a conversation to see if we’re a good match — if I’m the right guide for you and if my way of working resonates with where you are.

When there is this initial alignment, it creates a powerful foundation for deep transformation. In my work, you learn to understand yourself so clearly that self-judgment softens, compassion grows, and your way of being and doing realigns with your truth.
From there, life naturally becomes more fluid — less resistance, more joy, more impact, and the results you desire in your relationships, your work, or your business begin to unfold.

We go deep.

There is emotional liberation, releasing what no longer belongs, clearing the inner space so you can feel lighter, more peaceful, and more yourself.

And from that place, you build new pillars and new rhythms that allow you to enjoy being who you are — and to experience the success and fulfillment that come with authenticity.

All of this, always with compassion, passion, and patience.
