206. Exploring the Dark Side of Authority
May 22, 2024 04:30 - 34 minutes - 47.3 MBIt'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 go...
205. How to Handle Inspiration (or a Lack of It)
May 01, 2024 04:30 - 37 minutes - 51.7 MBIn 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 ...
204. Thriving as a Splenic Projector With Alex Mufson
April 10, 2024 04:30 - 53 minutes - 74.2 MBIn 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 a...
203. The 3 Unique Stages of Understanding Human Design
March 27, 2024 04:30 - 33 minutes - 46 MBIn 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...
202. How the Tribe Works in Human Design
March 13, 2024 05:30 - 43 minutes - 59.9 MBIn 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, ...
200. Why Center Connections Matter in Human Design
February 28, 2024 05:30 - 33 minutes - 46.7 MBHave 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...
201. Why Center Connections Matter in Human Design
February 28, 2024 05:30 - 33 minutes - 46.7 MBHave 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...
200. Exploring the Depths of Emotional Authority With Kristin Quattlebaum
February 14, 2024 05:30 - 52 minutes - 72.5 MBOn 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 a...
199. Exploring Melancholy and Mutation in Human Design
January 24, 2024 05:30 - 32 minutes - 45.7 MBHave 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 i...
198. How to Recognize Yourself
January 10, 2024 05:30 - 29 minutes - 40.5 MBWe'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 certai...
197. A Refresh Is Coming Soon!
December 20, 2023 05:30 - 35 minutes - 53.2 MBThat 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 pack...
196. Exploring the Layers of Human Design With Leann Wolff
October 25, 2023 04:30 - 54 minutes - 78.4 MBWe 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 hug...
195. Understanding the Creative Cycle in Human Design
October 11, 2023 04:30 - 35 minutes - 53.1 MBWe'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 t...
194. How to Release the Fear of Being Seen
September 27, 2023 04:30 - 38 minutes - 56.8 MBProjectors 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 in...
193. 5 Things to Do When You Dislike Your Design
September 13, 2023 04:30 - 32 minutes - 48.5 MBHave 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 yo...
192. Does Your Chart Have a Weakness?
September 06, 2023 04:30 - 24 minutes - 37.3 MBIn 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'...
191. How to Make Money as a Projector
August 30, 2023 04:30 - 40 minutes - 59.1 MBIn 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...
190. Human Design and the Power of Active Listening With Victoria Fragoso
August 16, 2023 04:30 - 55 minutes - 80.3 MBJoin 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 a...
189. 7 Challenges Projectors Face (And How to Overcome Them)
August 09, 2023 04:30 - 39 minutes - 58.5 MBLook, 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, ...
188. How to Understand Relationships Using Human Design
August 02, 2023 04:30 - 53 minutes - 76.8 MBIn 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 importa...
187. What Does Work Look Like for Projectors?
July 19, 2023 04:30 - 30 minutes - 45.4 MBIn 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...
186. Let's Talk About Invitations (Again)
July 12, 2023 04:30 - 30 minutes - 46.3 MBWe'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 ...
185. Exploring the 5th Line's Impact With Miran
June 28, 2023 04:30 - 50 minutes - 49.7 MBIn this episode of That Projector Life, I have a fantastic chat with Miran, a 5/1 Self-Projected Projector. And our conversation touches on a little of everything. Miran shares a lot of his experience being a Self-Projected Projector and how he's learned to decondition and step into being himself. He also touches on his experience of being a 5/1 profile. It was so neat to listen to Miran share how his 5th line show up in his life and how he's handled it. I learned a lot listening to him s...
184. Do I Need to Be Certified?
June 21, 2023 04:30 - 37 minutes - 38.1 MBHuman Design certifications are everywhere, and sometimes it can feel like everyone has one. But do you really NEED to be certified? Short answer: No. Longer answer: It can be really helpful and add more depth to your understanding of the system. So that's what we're talking about in this episode. We're diving into the world of Human Design certification, the pros and cons, and what to consider if you're thinking about getting certified. As always, take what I suggest here with a grain of...
183. How to Work With Coaches
June 07, 2023 04:30 - 32 minutes - 33.8 MBIn this episode, we're covering a few different things relating to coaches and how to work with them. We'll talk about whether or not Projectors can and should hire non-Projector coaches as well as how to prepare for working with them. (Spoiler alert: They really need to be able to recognize you in order for things to go well.) But there are lots of great experiences that Projectors can have with non-Projector coaches - experiences that you wouldn't have with a Projector coach. It's a gre...
182. What HD Marketing Doesn't Tell You
May 31, 2023 04:30 - 32 minutes - 33.7 MBMarketing is an important part of being in business. If you don't marketing your products and services, you don't make as much money. And business need to make money. But marketing is also here for another reason: to solve problems. Marketing allows a business to get their solution (or system in the case of Human Design) into people's hands. And naturally, when we market, we want to polish everything. We want it to be shiny and exciting. However, marketing tends to gloss over some diffic...
181. 3 Things to Know About the Incarnation Cross
May 17, 2023 04:30 - 30 minutes - 31.7 MBWe'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 be...
180. Exploring the Personality and Design
May 10, 2023 04:30 - 31 minutes - 32.9 MBIn 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 a...
179. How to Support Your Manifestor With Holly Maree
May 03, 2023 04:30 - 43 minutes - 43.6 MBJoin 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 ...
178. How I'm Using the Gene Keys
April 26, 2023 04:30 - 37 minutes - 38.4 MBIn 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...
177. How to Live Your Design
April 19, 2023 04:30 - 34 minutes - 35.3 MBWe'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...
176. The Importance of Speaking Correctly
March 29, 2023 04:30 - 32 minutes - 33.8 MBThere 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...
175. Exploring Your Authority Wound
March 15, 2023 05:30 - 44 minutes - 44.4 MBAre 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 ...
174. The Deceptive Simplicity of Being a Self-Projected Projector
March 01, 2023 05:30 - 38 minutes - 38.8 MBIn 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...
173. Belonging and Claiming a Safe Space With Darryl Stewart
February 22, 2023 05:30 - 43 minutes - 44 MBIn 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 c...
172. Parenting as a Projector With Sashya Clark
February 15, 2023 05:30 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBJoin 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 ...
171. A Chart Reading of Dr. Martin Luther King
February 08, 2023 05:30 - 40 minutes - 40.5 MBI 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 wa...
170. Being a Mental Projector With Helmy Kleinlugtenbeld
February 01, 2023 05:30 - 57 minutes - 56.3 MBJoin 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 ea...
169. How to Find Your Soul's Purpose
January 25, 2023 05:30 - 37 minutes - 38 MBIn 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...
168. Exploring Loneliness in Human Design
January 18, 2023 05:30 - 41 minutes - 41.6 MBWe'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 (thou...
167. Exploring Human Design and the Gene Keys with Kehla Guimond
December 28, 2022 05:30 - 47 minutes - 47.5 MBThis 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 groun...
166. 5 Projector Gifts to Appreciate More
December 21, 2022 05:30 - 38 minutes - 39.4 MBIt'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 ...
165. Exploring the Impact of a Chart Paradox
December 14, 2022 05:30 - 38 minutes - 39 MBIn 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 paradox...
164. How to Navigate the Tribe
December 07, 2022 05:30 - 49 minutes - 48.9 MBWe'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 (co...
163. How to Run a Household as a Projector
November 30, 2022 05:30 - 41 minutes - 42.2 MBIn 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 ho...
162. How to Work With Dormant Gates
November 23, 2022 05:30 - 32 minutes - 33.8 MBThis 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...
161. The Science of Human Design
November 16, 2022 05:00 - 26 minutes - 28.3 MBThis 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 ...
160. Revisiting the Planets in Human Design
November 02, 2022 04:30 - 48 minutes - 47.9 MBBecause 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 i...
159. How to Explore Human Design Gates
October 26, 2022 04:30 - 41 minutes - 41.5 MBIn 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...
158. Honoring Your Energy With Luisa Molano
October 19, 2022 04:30 - 52 minutes - 52 MBIn 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 syst...
