59. How to Talk to a Human Design Skeptic
February 19, 2020 05:30 - 39 minutes - 40 MBHuman Design is a great system for getting to know your energy better and for understanding how to live a completely aligned life. Unfortunately, not everyone is sold on the system. And you may be living with one. Honestly, living with a Human Design skeptic - or even just being in a close relationship with one - can be tough. They don't seem to understand why you can't "just do it", and they seem judgmental towards your attitude about copious amounts of rest. Is it even possible for a H...
58. Exploring the G Center
February 12, 2020 05:30 - 51 minutes - 51.4 MBWe're exploring the G center in this episode! And I'm going to let you in on a little secret (this is, by far, the coolest center in Human Design.) Not only is the G center the place for love and direction, but it's also the seat of the Magnetic Monopole, which we'll talk about in more depth. If you have a defined G center, then you have a consistent personality and are usually more connected to your core self. BUT that's not always the case, especially when you're a projector and are open...

In this episode, we're taking each type and pairing them up with the Projector type to chat about how the energy of that relationship functions (as well as what to watch out for). We'll walk through each relationship and note what to look for and how each type can support the other to create a healthy relationship in which everyone lives in alignment with their Human Design type. And yes, we'll also cover the potential draw...
56. A Deeper Look at the Root Center
January 29, 2020 05:30 - 58 minutes - 57.2 MBWhen I posted about my struggles with my undefined root center on Instagram, I didn't expect to get the wave of responses that I did. I was blown away with how many people related to my post - and by how many also commented and said they wanted to learn more about the root center. I've already done an episode on Human Design pressure centers (episode 23, in case you're wondering), so I thought I'd covered the root center. But I was wrong. So in this episode, we're focusing exclusively on...
55. How to Plan as a Projector
January 22, 2020 05:30 - 41 minutes - 42 MBThis week’s That Projector Life episode is all about planning as a Human Design Projector. (And if you missed last week’s episode about setting goals as a projector, go back and listen to it, because this episode builds on that one.) If you’re anything like me, planning is both fun and stressful. It’s fun because I get to feel like I’m in control of things. It’s also fun because I get to think about all the things I can do in a year. But at the same time, planning tends to be stressf...
54. Setting Goals as a Human Design Projector
January 15, 2020 05:30 - 42 minutes - 42.5 MBThat Projector Life is back! And it's time to talk about something that's probably on everyone's minds: setting goals / intentions / resolutions. While you can definitely set goals at any time of the year, the start of a new year is always a great time to evaluate how you want the rest of the year to look. So we're taking some time in this show to walk through how to set goals as a projector. We cover Lots of exciting announcements Qualities of good goals Steps to set aligned goal...
53. Energy Management With Reiki Master Shelby Melissa
December 18, 2019 05:30 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBAs Human Design projectors, managing our energy is super important (you know, because we don't always have a lot of it). But it's not just about conserving your energy. It's also about understanding how your energy interacts with the environment around you and the energetic blocks that come up (because they do). Enter Shelby Melissa, a Reiki Master and Online Energy Manager (OEM). She's joining us today to talk about all things Reiki and energy management. It's time to start learning how...
52. Understanding Incarnation Crosses
December 11, 2019 05:30 - 53 minutes - 56.8 MBIt's time to talk about Human Design incarnation crosses. We've chatted (very briefly) before about how your incarnation cross is your life's purpose. But there's so much more to it than simply looking at your cross and calling it good. In this episode, we're diving deep into crosses and talking about the geometry behind them (no math textbook needed), which quarter of civilization they fall into, and how you can discover your cross. The incarnation cross is a large part of your design a...

Exploring Emotional Waves
November 13, 2019 05:30 - 58 minutes - 60.7 MBThe solar plexus is a fascinating energy center in Human Design. It functions as both an awareness center and a motor center. And it's high time we explored it, especially seeing as the holidays are approaching (and those bring large social gatherings with some our biggest conditioners...our families). Whether or not you have a defined solar plexus, this episode is a must, because emotional energy is something we all experience (especially around the holidays). We're diving into the...

48. Relationship Dynamics as a Projector
November 06, 2019 05:30 - 54 minutes - 57.5 MBProjectors have unique roles in their relationships, but it can be difficult to access those roles because relationships tend to be complicated. In this episode, we're walking through three big relationship dynamics - family relationships, parenting as a projector, and romantic relationships.

October 30, 2019 04:30 - 45 minutes - 49 MBThere's a lot of talk about "conditioning" and "deconditioning" in the Human Design world.

We'll start out talking about money in general and how you relate to it, because that relationship lays the foundation for everything else that follows. Then we'll look at how projectors can make money, and we'll walk through a process you can use to kick-start your money-making. (And yes, it's aligned for projectors.)

What to Do After the Invitation
October 16, 2019 04:30 - 39 minutes - 43.2 MBHuman Design projectors hear a LOT about the invitation and how we have to wait for it. (I mean, we JUST spent an entire podcast episode talking about that.) But what happens AFTER you receive the invitation? How do you take aligned action? How do you move past the fears that surface? How do you release the past + your failures and step out in faith to act on an invitation you received? And are you guaranteed success in your endeavors? Those are the big questions we're talking about...

43. Recognition + The 3 Types of Projectors
October 02, 2019 04:30 - 43 minutes - 47 MBWe all know that recognition is super important for Human Design Projectors. (And if you didn't, you know now!) But what does that even mean? And how can we, as projectors, start the process of recognition? In fact, is it something we can start? Recognition is often touted as the Holy Grail for Projectors. But it's not always easy to "get" there, nor is it a process you have a lot of control over (sorry! But it's the truth). So we'll talk all things recognition in this episode and what it ...

How to Release Bitterness
September 25, 2019 04:30 - 43 minutes - 47.7 MBAs much as we try to deny it (or ignore it) bitterness can sometimes show up in our projector lives. And when it does, it can be super hard to release.

42. How to Release Bitterness
September 25, 2019 04:30 - 43 minutes - 47.7 MBBeing a Human Design Projector means that bitterness is just going to be part of our lives. Many of us have already experienced bitterness as a direct result of things not working out. And we've also pushed past that feeling (and our better judgment) to continue doing what wasn't working...which resulted in even more bitterness And that leads us to the Bitterness Snowball. It exists. I've had to contend with it, and I bet you have, too. The issue with bitterness is that it can be really ha...
41. How to Create Boundaries as a Projector
September 18, 2019 13:34 - 57 minutes - 60 MBIt's time to talk about creating boundaries! Because of our open sacral center, Human Design Projectors (as well as manifestors and reflectors) usually struggle to create and maintain consistent boundaries. This is especially true when it comes to the boundaries we set for ourselves in regards to how we use our sacral energy (and how MUCH energy we use). Boundaries - with ourselves and with others - are very important. Our boundaries tell us and others what is and isn't ok, what we need, a...

39. Using + Sharing Your Content Strategically
September 04, 2019 04:30 - 34 minutes - 39.4 MBThe third episode of the #BeTheLighthouse Series is all about using your content strategically. Because if you have a solid platform and you have great content but no way to get that content out into the wider world...no one will see it. It's similar to the whole "If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?" questions that dads (why is it always dads?) are so fond of asking. Without a strategic plan for your content, it's going to be more difficult to build an ...

36. How to Lead as a Projector
August 14, 2019 13:10 - 35 minutes - 39.8 MBEver felt like people aren't listening to you even AFTER they've recognized you? Like you're standing there telling them exactly what to do...and they're just ignoring you? It could be that you're not fully harnessing your Projector energy to lead them the way you're meant to. It's really tempting (trust me, I know) to lead or guide people by simply telling them what to do. For example, leading by informing - "No. You're doing that wrong. Try this way instead." Or "That's not going to wo...
How to Lead as a Projector
August 14, 2019 13:10 - 35 minutes - 39.8 MBHuman Design projectors are here to be guides. We're here to help others direct their energy and resources, and we usually... (ok, who are we kidding?)

How do we harness our energy to support those around us? That's what we're diving into in this episode. ----------------------- Ready to learn th...

35. The Ultimate Projector Survival Guide
August 01, 2019 13:10 - 33 minutes - 38.5 MBWe all know that sometimes being a Human Design Projector just isn't fun. And sometimes, it just plain sucks as well. (Like I'm over here waaaaiiiiiting for my invitation. Will someone PLEASE recognize me?!) But. You don't have to stay in victim mode forever (in fact, I highly recommend shifting out of victim mode as soon as possible). Because the fact of the matter is that Projectors aren't victims. We just work differently. And to help you shift out of Projector frustration, we'll cove...

July 24, 2019 00:30 - 56 minutes - 59.2 MBMany of us know that the placement of planets in the sky affects us. In astrology, they determine the look + feel of our birth charts...and they do the exact same thing in Human Design. The placement of the planets in your design (a.k.a. the gates that they're in) determine your Human Design as a whole. And just like in astrology, each of the planets have their own meaning and energy in Human Design. (However, the planet meanings vary slightly between Human Design and astrology.) Underst...
