If you’ve ever wondered what your soul is really here to do… this episode is for you.

Today on Enter the Portal, I sit down with Gene Keys guide and Human Design teacher Maria Henning to explore the power of self-awareness, spiritual evolution, and decoding your personal energetic blueprint. With her roots in science and a deep connection to mysticism, Maria brings a rare clarity to what it actually means to trust yourself, follow your path, and live from your highest frequency.

We explore the full arc of her story—from being raised Catholic in Venezuela, to rejecting spirituality completely, to eventually discovering Human Design, manifestation, and the Gene Keys. This conversation is expansive, honest, and full of those “oh wow, that’s me” kind of moments.

Whether you’re curious about what the Gene Keys are, how they compare to Human Design and astrology, or you just want to feel more connected to your purpose—you’ll find something here that resonates. We also bust some myths (like the one about “specific vs. nonspecific manifestors”), and talk about how these systems aren’t here to box you in, but to free you.
