Meet Britta
My story starts in 2020 during COVID lockdown, in a house where I wasn’t close with my roommates, and in a city where I didn’t have many friends.
Lonely and isolated with nowhere to go, I realized how much I disliked my life.
A long time personal development junkie, I turned to therapy and got really into the Enneagram and self help podcasts.
Around this time, I first came to Human Design. At first, it didn’t stick. Even though I resonated with being a Reflector, when I learned it was channeled by this guy on an LSD trip, I decided it was “too woo” for me. Yes, I was a spiritual skeptic long before I learned to fully embrace it!
It wasn’t until mid-2021 that Human Design came to stay. I moved 30 minutes away, across the river to a different city and immediately noticed a difference. I felt different. Better. More alive.
Knowing the importance of environment for my Human Design type, I thought there might be something to this system and actively started to experiment.
Fresh out of my Master of Education program, I also started a new job at this time - that of a full time elementary school teacher.
(the novel version)
It’s a sad truth about the current state of education - teachers are over worked and underpaid. Yet, I could also feel my Human Design Reflector aura at work.
I struggled with classroom management, and I could see how I was amplifying the unhealthy aspects of the overall environment of my school, as well as the environment of my individual classroom and students.
While I struggled with my job, it did give me a financial foundation. As I continued to explore Human Design, I became more curious about other spiritual modalities. When I first heard about the Akashic Records on a podcast, I knew I had to learn more.
Between 2022 and 2023, I invested in myself in really the first time ever - after spending most of my adulthood hoarding money.
I enrolled in a Human Design Mastermind, where I became Human Design certified. This also lead me to me becoming the Reflector coach in my HD mentor’s signature membership - a role I held for nearly 3 years.
I joined a program where I learned to read the Akashic Records and got to practice reading the Records with others on group calls.
I went on a handful of retreats, where I got to meet some of my online friends in person - such a beautiful gift!
Being a full time teacher was HARD
Meeting some friends from my Human Design mastermind in person!
With all this personal and spiritual development work under my belt and a good amount of money saved up, I decided to leave education after spending two years as a full time classroom teacher. I didn’t have a plan and I trusted the universe to guide me.
In August 2023, I launched the first version of Aligned and Undefined’s website, offering Human Design and Akashic Records Session.
I had no idea how to run a business. And, it turns out, my self worth was pretty low as well - when people didn’t automatically book, when my social media posts didn’t, inevitably, go viral, giving me the thousands of followers and equal amount of dollars that I was dreaming about, I got scared and went into hiding.
As my bank account lowered, I started using my spiritual practices to bypass my reality. I lived in the Akashic Records for guidance, unwilling to be rooted in reality.
By early 2024, I was putting basic expenses on credit cards. When I maxed out my credit cards, I asked my parents for money. While still trying to run my business, I desperately tried applying for jobs, yet nothing landed.
By the end of 2024, I had moved across the country to my hometown to live with my parents full time. I couldn’t manage it any other way.
I had given my power away to the spiritual tools that I had initially found comfort in, and my life fell a part.
It’s funny - when I was full time teaching, I thought that was my dark night of the soul. Looking back, I had no idea of the real darkness to come.
Leaving Teaching
My last day as a classroom teacher in June 2023
The first number of months at my parents, I still tried to get my business to work. Yet, I was in so much scarcity and lack that I was still struggling.
Recognizing what I was doing wasn’t working, I decided to close my bookings in the summer of 2025. Shortly thereafter, I got a job back in education that allowed me the more financial security than I had had in a long time.
Fast forward to July 2026, where I am writing this from. Since then, I’ve gained so much clarity on how I want to run Aligned and Undefined.
I’m more confident in myself than ever before. I have my tools. I have my toolbelt. And I have the wisdom that only a true dark night of the soul can bring.
The last few years have been quite painful. Accepting that I live with my parents out of pure financial need as an early 30 something has been no small task.
That said, I’ve been so surprised at how grounded I feel back in my home state - a place I said I’d never move back to when I moved away. I’ve been able to do so much healing, and I feel so much more grounded in myself. I now see spiritual practices as tools to leverage responsibly.
I believe spiritual practices can only work well when we are grounded; when we allow ourselves to feel our pain and uncertainty; and when we invest in our physical reality just as much as our spiritual reality.
I’ve grown to see the sacredness of the every day. Sometimes the most spiritual thing to do is the be present in the world.
Coming Back to Me
One of the best parts of being back in my home state is getting to see my Kindergarten bestie WAY more regularly!
How does my story make me qualified to support YOU?
So much of my journey has been around self worth and not feeling like enough for the life I dream of. Not only do I have the wealth of knowledge about the spiritual modalities in my tool kit. I also have the lived experience of feeling blocked from stepping into my dreams - and seeing first hand the consequences of trying to bypass that fear.
I am someone who deeply knows the shadow of the courageous visionary firsthand, and I can spot those shadows pretty effortlessly these day. This gives me the perfect lens to spot your shadows in your Human Design and Gene Keys, through your Akashic Records, card pulls, and my own Reflector spidey senses; bring them to your attention; and support you in alchemizing them into the fuel you need to step deeper into your gifts with inner confidence that will support you on your journey.
Speaking about the Akashic Records at Sociable Circuit in Minneapolis, May 2026
In Human Design, I’m a ¼ Reflector on the Right Angle Cross of Rulership. In the Gene Keys, my core wound/vocation is in Gate 56 (Gift of Enrichment) and my Culture and Pearl are both in Gate 48 (Gift of Resourcefulness). Astrologically, I’m a Pisces Sun, Virgo Moon, and Capricorn Rising.
Meet Britta
(the short, fun-facts version)
I taught English in Thailand right out of college. While it was certainly not the right environment for me overall, I’m very grateful for all the experiences I had and the places that I got to travel during this time!
I love dark beer! A good oatmeal stout is chef’s kiss in my opinion! I don’t drink often, but when I do I choose quality over quantity. I do try to have a relatively healthy diet, yet I also believe life is meant to be enjoyed, and I do like to indulge on occasion.
Movement is essential for me in getting out of my head and into my body! I have a daily yoga practice (I currently practice at home with The Yogi Witch). I also like to get out on daily walks, as well, regardless of the weather (even during the coldest of days in Minnesota winters!)
I wrote a novel about a Holocaust survivor when I was in middle school and sent it to a local publisher. They rejected it alongside a very kind rejection letter. I had a strange, early obsession with the Holocaust as a youngster, which I was able to tie to a past life through work in my Akashic Records (seriously, I was devouring Holocaust survivor stories in middle school when the girls around me were reading Gossip Girl. 😂)
I love to read! My favorite book is Jane Eyre. I love how Jane isn’t afraid to speak her mind. So progressive for 1847! I’m always reading something, and most of my books these days come from the public library or the Little Free Libraries in my neighborhood.
