Top Quotes to Inspire You

"When I take care of me, all is taken care of. Divine feminine energy is coming through. We're all kind of in that chrysalis goo right now because it's literally getting our Phoenix individually and collectively ready for the rise." — Candy

Key Questions Answered

1. What is the “chrysalis goo” and how does it relate to our current era? [2:39]

Candy explains that the "chrysalis goo" refers to the uncomfortable transformational phase where old systems break down, making way for a new consciousness and leadership style. This liminal space feels unstable, but it's necessary for deep, lasting change—just as a caterpillar’s transformation into a butterfly is messy before the breakthrough.

2. How does the ‘Great Mutation’ impact leadership and daily life? [4:20]

Candy discusses the major energetic shift, called the Great Mutation, arriving in 2027. It marks humanity’s transition from the collective, industrial-focused “cross of planning” to the individualized, intuition-driven “cross of the sleeping Phoenix.” This will demand that leaders (and everyone) become more self-regulated, emotionally intelligent, and authentic in their actions.

3. How can you practically use human design and astrology during these times? [18:05]

Kim and Candy share actionable ways to work with intuitive insights and energetic tools. Candy recommends constructing intentional “office hours” for channeling, asking clear questions like “Is this mine?” to sort through intuitive downloads, and seeking grounded spiritual resources to maintain stability.
