It's been almost 6 years since I started the That Projector Life podcast, and it's been a wonderful few years of growth, learning, and change. However, this is the last episode. I've finally felt the push to release That Projector Life and close up shop. And now that I've decided to cut cords, my Martyr line is adamant that we do it sooner rather than later. So while I realize this decision may seem out of the blue, I feel it's been a long time coming. I don't feel like I can give TPL much...

We spend a lot of time as Projectors waiting for an aligned invitation to come along. But what happens when one does come along, but you can't accept it? How do you handle that? Does not being able to accept an aligned invitation mean that you're doomed to a life of bitterness? (Sorry. I had to be dramatic there.) It does not. In this episode, we'll talk about what happens if you can't accept an aligned invitation. We'll also look at how you can handle or view this event. Because things are...

We're diving into a lighter side of Human Design today. Let's talk about how to have fun with this system. Because the Human Design system is about how to live life in a way that's unique to you. It's a great way to open up to your energy and really begin to honor it. But so often we tend to get caught up in the technicalities. (Think: Am I doing this right? Is that my authority? What does waiting for an invitation mean?) And when we get stuck in our head, we tend to lose sight of just how...

It's time to look at our authorities from a whole new angle: The Dark Side! (Cue Star Wars reference.) Authority is a huge deal in Human Design. It's one of the first things we learn about, and it's one of the things that we return to constantly when it comes to making decisions and living in alignment. But sometimes our authorities aren't always as helpful as we think they are - whether because we misinterpret them or allow them to stray into less than healthy behavior. This episode is...

In this episode of That Projector Life, we're looking at inspiration and the difference between mental inspiration and energetic inspiration. Have you ever felt like you have all the ideas - that everything is inspiring? Or maybe you've found that nothing is inspiring. You have no mental energy to pursue anything. I'd like to introduce you to the Head Center and mental inspiration. It's a necessity in life - it's what's given us so many great ideas to run with. However, mental inspiration...

In this episode of That Projector Life, I'm joined by Splenic Projector Alex Mufson. Alex is a seasoned entrepreneur, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder and CEO of her latest company, Aspen Growth Coaching (AGC). We start off by talking about Splenic Authority, and Alex shares great insights and tangible action steps for Splenic Projectors who are new to their authority. (And if you don't have a Splenic Authority, this is a great way to begin understanding how it operates.) Alex...

In this episode of That Projector Life, we're walking through the 3 stages people move through when they learn about the Human Design system. (And of course, like most things in life, this can be a non-linear journey. And just like Human Design, there are many layers to these stages.) So we'll look at how our understanding of the system changes - and how our approach to it changes as well - from beginning to end. When we start with the system, we'll all about the facts and figures. We want...

In this episode, we explore the energy of the Tribe, the Tribal channels, and how they all work together to fulfill the Tribe's purpose: resources and survival. We'll start out by situating the Tribe in the larger picture of humanity as a whole and talk about the Tribe's purpose as it relates to the rest of the world. Then we'll move into each of the Tribal channels and place its energy in the larger story of how the Tribe itself functions. The channels play off of and support each other,...

Have you ever looked at your channels and thought about what they mean for the energy flow in your chart? We're doing just that in this episode! We'll look at all the different center connections in Human Design (and there are a lot) and talk about how they work and what it means to have one connection over another. For example, we'll talk about the impact of having an Identity to Spleen connection and how that differs slightly from an Identity to Sacral or an Identity to Throat connection....

On top of that, I'm so excited to welcome back Kristin Quattlebaum to That Projector Life. Kristin is a 1/3 Emotional Projector, and in this episode, she's sharing how she's learned and grown since we last spoke with her. (I highly recommend checking out Kristin's first TPL interview. It's episode 85.) We talk a lot about emotions and emotional healing as Kristin shares about her approach to working with her emotional authority. She also walks us through the idea of a secondary authority and...

Have you ever experienced melancholy? You know - that feeling of sadness for no identifiable reason. Or maybe you're there right now and want to know how to move through it. We're talking about all of that and more in this episode of That Projector Life. Melancholy is a natural part of having Individual circuitry in Human Design. And while it can be frustrating to experience, it's an important part of an Individual's role. Individuals are here to push humanity to mutate, and melancholy is a...

We're kicking off 2024 with an episode all about recognizing yourself. I often get asked how Projectors can encourage others to recognize them (and we talk about this question and its rather difficult answer in this episode). But I rarely (until just recently) get asked how Projectors can recognize themselves.  So we're taking a dive into Projector recognition from the perspective of the self - as in recognizing yourself. Because Projectors can definitely recognize themselves, and I...

That Projector Life is finally back with a new episode! And in this episode, we're diving into where I've been, what I'm doing now, and the refresh that's on the horizon!  Look - things were rough in October. Eclipse season hit hard, and it took two months to recover. In that time, I reflected and journaled a lot, and I also discovered that the way my business was structured didn't work for me...because I don't actually want to be in business in terms of having a coaching structure or...

We have a super special guest on That Projector Life this week! Human Design Professional and BG5 Business & Career Consultant Leann Wolff is joining us to talk about all thing Human Design. We start off by discussing the Mani-Gen/Projector relationship and how it differs from that of a Generator/Projector one. (Those of you with both Mani-Gens and Generators in your house, take some notes.)  Then we move into talking about money, business, and manifesting as a Projector. And this is a...

We're exploring the creative cycle, what it looks like, and how it shows up throughout the Human Design chart. (Notice that we're using the word "cycle" instead of "process" - that's going to be a big thing in this episode.) The creative cycle is a mysterious, sometimes frustrating thing to deal with. However, we'll explore the mechanics of it with some help from the Gene Keys system.  We'll dive into Gates 1 and 2 (a.k.a. Gene Keys 1 and 2) to talk about how and where they contribute to the...

Projectors need recognition. However, if we choose to conceal our true selves, it becomes more challenging for the right people to notice us. That’s why in this episode, we’re talking about the fear of being seen. I share a bit about my personal journey, and I guide you through a step-by-step process to set yourself up for recognition. We cover identifying what you want, what’s stopping you from getting there, releasing your fears, and shifting your energy into alignment. We also dive into...

Have you been trying - and failing - to connect with your Human Design? Are you sometimes frustrated - or angry - with your design? How about just plain disliking it? In this episode, we'll address all of those feelings and go through some action steps you can take to begin to connect with your design.  It's important to note that not everyone connects with their design instantly. For some people, it can be a struggle to see themselves in their design. And it can feel rather lonely when...

In this episode of That Projector Life, we're diving into the idea of a chart "weakness" becuase it's something I hear a lot when talking to people about Human Design. Often, people want to know what their strengths and weaknesses are, and that's understandable. However, we're going to reframe the idea of weakness in this episode.  We'll answer the question of whether or not your chart has a weakness and what you can do about it. (Spoiler alert: I don't think chart weakness exists, and we'll...

In this episode, we're talking about a topic that pretty much every Projector I talk to asks me about: Money. Because making money as an aligned Projector is both straightforward and non-linear (rather like being a Projector, right?). It's possible for Projectors to make money as their true selves - but it will likely take some reprogramming.  And that's where this episode comes in. We'll talk about some steps you can take to begin shifting your understanding of money and how you relate to...

Join me and my guest, Victoria Fragoso, as we talk about all things listening. We haven't talked much about listening on the podcast, and this episode aims to remedy that. Listening is such an important skill to develop. It enables us to really see - and hear - the other person. Being a good listener makes people feel like they matter - and that's an incredible gift to offer.  As Projectors, we're so often convinced that we know what to do and what others need, but it's also important to...

Look, I think being a Projector is awesome. But I also know that sometimes it can suck. And because I believe in looking at both the awesome and the not-so-awesome, we're diving into 7 challenges Projector face. However, we won't just talk about the challenges - we'll also talk about how Projectors can move through those challenges and overcome them.  Because every challenge we come across is a learning opportunity. It gives us a chance to learn more about our energy, the world around us,...

In this episode, I'm joined by 6/2 Manifesting Generator Stacy Gissal, and we're talking all about relationships. Looking at - and talking about - relationship charts in Human Design is Stacy's jam. So that's what we're doing!  Stacy gives us a great walk through the Human Design relationship chart and shares the different types of energy dynamics we'll come across and how they can play out in our lives. She also points out that you can't always change how the energy works, so it's important...

In this episode, we're talking about work and Projectors. This tends to be a complicated, personal, and nuanced topic. But we'll do our best to cover everything. We'll look at how Projector energy works and how it differs from Generator energy (and why that matters).  We'll also create a space to reflect on our feelings around work and explore how Projectors energy contributes to the world. Oftentimes, it's not that Projectors need to do more or work harder. It's that we need to change our...

We're once again revisiting invitations in this episode. But we're not talking about how they work, the energetic mechanics at play, or anything else in that vein. We're actually going to be addressing the more abstract (but equally important) questions around invitations like: What's my understanding of invitations? How did I arrive at that? Is my understanding the correct one? And more!  This episode was actually sparked by an email that I received, and I'm so excited to dive into these...
