We're talking about Incarnation Crosses in this episode of That Projector Life. The Incarnation Cross is something I get lots of questions on, which makes sense. It's something people want to know more about, but there doesn't tend to be a lot of information readily available online. So we're going to talk about what you need to know about your Incarnation Cross and how you can approach it.  Yes, your Incarnation Cross is your life's purpose (though I really like thinking of it as story...

In this episode, we're teasing apart the Red (Design) and Black (Personality) in our charts. Before we dive in, remember that you are always the combination of the two, so the Quantum. However, it's good to pull the Design and Personality apart to understand the energy you have in each one. Sometimes, we may feel like we're two different people in one body, and the differences that exist between our Design and Personality can help explain some of that feeling. During the show, we'll look at...

Join me in welcoming our first Manifestor guest to the show! Holly Maree is a Splenic Manifestor, and she's created an amazing space for other Manifestors (and those who love them) to learn about what it means to be a Human Design Manifestor.  In this episode, Holly shares her journey and offers an amazing insight into this unique Human Design type. She offers some great tips for how we can support Manifestors and encourage their energy. If you have a Manifestor kiddo at home, Holly's got...

In this episode, I'm sharing the breakthrough that I experienced as a result of stepping back and working with the Gene Keys. I started looking at the gates in my Incarnation Cross (what the Gene Keys calls the Activation Sequence) and had a huge shift in my energy and mindset.  I'll also talk briefly about what the Gene Keys system is and how I believe it pairs really well with Human Design. Then I'll go into how I worked with these specific Gene Keys and what I experienced as a result of...

We're diving a little more into the nuts and bolts of how to live your design in this episode. We'll talk about the general, big-picture process I recommend for moving ever deeper into your design. This process is the one that I've used for years as I continue to learn more about my energy and refine my approach to live more in alignment.  We'll also discuss the nuances of living your design. Because living in alignment is going to look completely different when you're in month one of your...

There is so much pressure in our society to just talk - to say anything - even if you have nothing to say. How are Projectors supposed to navigate a conversation and speak correctly? Is there even a hard-and-fast rule that we can follow? (Spoiler alert: Only if you consider "Follow your authority" a rule). In this episode, we'll talk about our society's obsession with making noise and how we can begin to step back from the fray and observe it more. We'll also cover how Projectors can speak...

Are you struggling to connect with and really appreciate your authority? It could be that you're facing what I call your Authority Wound. This is something I've reflected on for a while now, based on my experiences and the experiences of other Projectors. It seems that we all carry with us some kind of wounding message that prohibits us from really accessing and appreciating our authority. We all hear similar messages, but I suspect that our Authority Wound is the message that sticks with us...

In this That Projector Life episode, I'm exploring the deceptive simplicity of being a Self-Projected Projector. It's taken me 4 or 5 years to finally realize and fully understand the nuances that exist in being a Self-Projected Projector (a.k.a. SPP). But when I finally grasped the depth in my design, it hit home hard. And that's what I'm talking about in this episode.  We'll revisit the Self-Projected authority, what it looks like in the BodyGraph, and how it works. But then we'll go off...

In this episode of That Projector Life, I'm joined once again by Mental Projector and EFT Master Practitioner Darryl Stewart. And we have a fantastic conversation around belonging and claiming safe spaces in the world as Projectors.  Darryl shares his journey and understanding of what it means to truly belong and how his feelings of not belonging and not being claimed impacted his life.  He talked through how he's started claiming spaces for himself and how his life and business began to...

Join my Mental Projector guest Sashya Clark and me as we talk all things parenting as a Projector. We highlight how we parent our Projector, Generator, and Manifestor kids and the struggles, strategies, and successes we've found along the way. Sashya shares from her experience raising four kiddos - three Generators and a Projector - and the strategies that she's found that work for them. She highlights how she strives to support her kids - her Generators especially - to be independent and...

I wanted to revisit chart readings on the podcast, because it's been a looooong time since I've done one. And my understanding of Human Design and the energy of charts has changed for the better since I first did readings on the show. So we're diving in with a really neat chart - that of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  We'll go through Dr. King's chart and see how the channels and centers played out in his life. (It is really neat to see Human Design in the real world, even though Dr. King...

Join my Mental Projector guest Helmy Kleinlugtenbeld and me as we talk about Helmy's experience and journey through Human Design. We start off with Helmy's experience as a Mental Projector and how she understands and works with her outer authority. (She has such great insights to offer here! I suspect that Mental Projectors will identify with what she shares.)  We also talk about Helmy's journey through the Primary Health System, and specifically her Consecutive diet. She shares how she eats...

In this episode, we attempt to tackle the age-old questions of "What am I here to do?" and "How do I find that info?" Not surprisingly, we're going to use Human Design to help us find a direction - and potentially some answers - for those questions.  I believe there are markers of your soul's purpose in your chart, and we'll talk about each of those markers and how you can use them in the episode. However, I don't think that your design necessarily locks you into a specific path or purpose....

We're looking at where, why, and how loneliness shows up in the Human Design Bodygraph and how we can move through it. Loneliness (or the realization that you're separate from a group) can be difficult to handle. We'll talk about things to look for in the Bodygraph that may help explain why we feel that loneliness sometimes. We'll also cover the different ways that aura mechanics work and what leaves us with that feelings of separation. Ultimately, it's not a bad thing to feel lonely (though...

  This episode welcomes our first ever Generator to the show! Kehla Guimond is a 6/2 Sacral Generator who's here to help us change the way we interact with the Human Design System and the Gene Keys. We have such a great and wide-ranging conversation in this show, and we flow between Human Design and the Gene Keys seamlessly. Kehla has some awesome suggestions on how to begin using the Gene Keys if you're brand new to them. And if you're more advanced (or just really want to hit the ground...

It's that time of year when we start thinking about gifts and what to get for that weird distant relative you never talk to. (Or maybe, if you're like me with zero Tribal energy, you ARE that weird distant relative). Either way, I wanted the show to get into the spirit of the season by looking at 5 specific Projector gifts that both Projectors and everyone else should really appreciate more. Because so often, Projectors tend to feel bad that we can't keep up with everyone. Projector guilt is...

In this episode, we're looking at chart paradoxes - places where the Human Design chart creates internal tension. These areas are really interesting to look at because they help us understand where some of our internal conflicts can come from. In the case of someone with a Tribal channel and an Individual channel, the tension can come from both being an insider - part of the Tribe - but also from feeling like an outsider - being an Individual.  We'll look at other examples of chart paradoxes...

We're coming up on the time of year that's very tribal. It's a time when we gather with friends and family to celebrate and connect with each other. However, there's also something else that tends to show up around this time of year: loneliness, a feeling that we don't belong - even in our own family. This TPL episode is taking a look at the nature and energy of the Tribe in Human Design. We'll explore Tribal circuitry briefly and then talk about how the Tribe behaves in the real world...

In this episode, we're talking about some basic principles for running a household as a Projector. And we'll expand on those with some examples as we dive further into specific aspects of managing a home. This episode is meant for anyone who's in charge of a household, regardless of gender.  We'll walk through some suggestions I have for Projectors about running a household (please take them with a grain of salt), and I'll share how I've finally figured out the best way to manage my own...

This episode of That Projector Life dives into dormant gates and how you can work with them on your Human Design journey. We'll talk about what dormant gates are, where you can find them in your chart, and how they impact you. It's also important to note that you may not experience dormant gates in quite the same way you experience other gates, so be on the lookout for the theme of the gate, not so much the "textbook" definition of it.  Because real-world examples are always helpful, we'll...

This week, we're looking under the hood of Human Design and taking a peak at how Ra blended some different systems to create Human Design. We'll also touch on the more "scientific" aspect of the system - things like neutrinos and how they impact us - and where the neutrino stream shows up in your chart. It was really neat to finally get into the foundations of the Human Design system and see the different pieces of the puzzle coming together in their own unique way. All of the information in...

Because we just talked about the layers of Human Design gates, I wanted to revisit the planets in Human Design. The planets play an important role in how we experience the energy of our gates and channels. They take the overall energy present and add a little extra flavor to it. This is why two people with the same gate can experience that energy in completely different ways. Understanding how the planets influence your gates and channels can help you reach even deeper understanding when it...

In this episode of That Projector Life, we're doing a deeper dive into the gates and how to understand them. I'll walk you through the process I use when looking at gates in a Human Design chart so you can begin to understand the deeper impact that your gates can have.  We'll look at the layers present in each gate and move through the most noticeable ones - the gate itself, the planet(s) in the gate, and the line number. As we move through each layer, we'll talk about how the one below it...

In this episode, I'm joined by Luisa Molano, a certified executive coach and spiritual guide to heart-centered business owners. Our discussion is wide-ranging and centers on all things Projector, both life and business. Luisa has such a unique approach to her emotional authority and working with and honoring her energy, and she shares her process of grounding with us. She also walks us through her coming to Human Design and her experience with the system as a whole plus how she uses the...

In this episode, I'm joined by Splenic Projector Simran Sondhi, a self-described Bridge who connects people with the path they were born to follow. Of course, we explore all things related to that Projector life and allow the conversation to flow where it will.  We hear how Simran found Human Design and how she's worked with the system - including how her work with it has changed as she's learned and experimented. Simran also shares about her experience in the corporate world as a non-energy...
