ep 25 Standing Tall

21-July-2026

What if your posture has been sending your mind a message all day… and you didn't even know it?

In this episode of Being in My Goodness, I'm sharing a simple, anytime practice called Standing Tall.

So much of our natural movement through the day has us folded in at our computers, on our phones, cooking dinner, doing laundry, brushing our teeth. Big moments and small ones. And through all of it, our body is telling our mind a story: we're protecting ourselves, we're not open, we're closing in.

This practice interrupts that. For just a minute, you open your body and something shifts.

I share some memories that make this one genuinely enjoyable for me, including my grandma walking with books on our heads as kids, my mom's very practical reason for standing up straight, and a solo cup party trick from college. Because when you attach good-feeling memories to a practice, your body wants to come back to it.

I also share how to add a Human Design layer using your determination variable — how you're designed to take in the world — so you can find the flavor of this practice that's most natural for you.

Color 1 — Appetite You're designed for simplicity and consistency. One thing at a time.

Color 2 — Taste You're designed to be selective. Get picky about where and when you do it.

Color 3 — Thirst You're designed for rhythm and timing. Try doing it at the same time each day.

Color 4 — Touch You're designed for connection. Let it be physical, notice what's touching you.

Color 5 — Sound You're designed for acoustics. Notice how things sound before, during, and after.

Color 6 — Light You're designed to sync with the day. Try it in natural light.
