Trusting the Universe When You Can’t See the Path With Hillary McVeigh
This weeks episode is a soft landing for your soul.
I’m joined by Hillary McVeigh, a lawyer turned Human Design teacher and an all-around luminous powerhouse who leads with heart, intuition, and deep feminine wisdom. Her presence alone feels like a transmission… gentle yet potent, grounded yet magical.
Hillary’s work reminds us that life gets to feel aligned, divinely guided, and supported, and that miracles aren’t random. They unfold naturally when we are living in truth and surrendering to the universe’s rhythm.
In this conversation, we explore:
✨ How miracles are simply byproducts of alignment
✨ The unseen magic happening behind the scenes on our behalf
✨ Moving from control into surrender - the feminine way
✨ Building trust in the universe even when you can’t see the path
✨ How to soften into flow when the mind wants proof
✨ Real stories of surrender turning into something even more beautiful
✨ The difference between forcing life and allowing life to reveal itself
This is a deeply nourishing reminder that you don’t have to hold it all, push so hard, or control every outcome. You are guided. You are held. And life wants to meet you with more than you can imagine.
Let this be your permission to relax your shoulders, breathe deeper, and trust that your alignment is the doorway, and the miracles will meet you there.
