Are you calm under pressure? Or are you one who wants to do anything you can to relieve pressure as quickly as possible?

Continuing with the 4-part mini-series on exploring the nine energy centers in the Human Design chart, in this episode, we explore the two pressure centers: the Head and Root centers. You’ll hear me share:

• What the Head and Root centers represents and governs

• What it means for each center to be defined or undefined

• How it can impacts our resilience and ability to respond to stressful situations

In Human Design, your Type, Strategy, and Authority are the foundation of your design. But those things are determined by the nine energy centers in your chart and whether they’re defined or undefined.

This episode begins a 4-part mini-series on exploring the nine energy centers in the Human Design chart.

In this episode, we explore the four motor centers: Root, Solar Plexus, Sacral, and Heart centers. You’ll hear me share:

• What each center literally and figuratively represents

• What each center governs

• What it means for each center to be defined or undefined

How do you make decisions? Do you make a pro vs con list? Do you “go with your gut?” Do you overthink? What’s your decision-making process and how is it working for you?

In Human Design, each person has an “Authority” - your inner guidance system on the best way for you to make decisions.

In this episode, we explore:

• The seven possible Authorities

• How they are determined

• What each Authority is about and how to lean into them to guide your decisions

Learning about your Type is likely your first entry point into Human Design, and every Type has a Strategy. In this episode, we explore the Sacral Types - Generators and Manifesting Generators. You’ll hear me share:

• What are Types and Strategies

• What’s the Sacral center in the Human Design Body Graph chart

• The difference between Non-Sacral and Sacral Types

• A rundown of Generators and Manifesting Generators and their Strategies

Learning about your Type is likely your first entry point into Human Design, and every Type has a Strategy. In this episode, we explore the Non-Sacral Types - Manifestors, Projectors, and Reflectors. You’ll hear me share:

• What are Types and Strategies

• What’s the Sacral center in the Human Design Body Graph chart

• The difference between Non-Sacral and Sacral Types

• A rundown of Manifestors, Projectors, and Reflectors and their Strategies

For the past four years, this show has explored all the ways that we experience stress, fatigue, and burnout, focusing on addressing it through Functional Nutrition and what we put on our plates, gut health, environmental inputs, and lifestyle factors.

Over the past couple of months, through solo shows and guest interviews, I’ve primed you with the notions that peeling back the layers, and taking a functional approach into why these things happen, goes beyond what's on our plates and into what’s also going on with our minds, thoughts, emotions in addition to our physical bodies.

Human Design has been the system that’s helped me become aware of how these things are tied together and how to address them in a bio-individual way that’s unique to me.

So in this episode, we’re diving more deeply into Human Design. You’ll hear me share:

• What exactly Human Design is and its origin story

• What are the benefits of Human Design

• Two examples of how it links to specific health conditions I’ve had - thyroid and adrenal dysfunction

Human Design embraces your uniqueness, showing why general, blanket statement advice may not work for you. It's not that there’s anything wrong with you, rather, there’s a more effective way that comes more naturally to you, which begs the question, “How well do we know ourselves? What parts of us are inherent to us? What parts have we been conditioned to be?”

The onus is on each of us to observe, explore, and uncover the answers to those questions, and what emerges is a deep sense of self-awareness that develops into an intimate knowledge of who you really are, and what you need to thrive - not just what you might have been conditioned to believe.

In the solo episode, I explore the intersection between bio-individuality, the idea that no one diet works for everyone, and Human Design, a framework that sheds like on our subtle, innate gifts.

You’ll hear me share:

• What is bio-individuality?

• What is Human Design?

• The intersection of where they meet

• How, collaboratively, they can help us step into our highest potential

When undertaking any new project or endeavor, whether personal or business-related, it’s always important to have a plan or strategy in place. However, while strategies can be executed, there’s always non-tangible things that hold us back from fully realizing what’s possible & those things are often limiting beliefs that lie in our subconscious.

Joining me in this episode is Nadia Gabrielle, a guide and mentor for business owners and non-business owners.

Merging her business background in Brand Building, Design Thinking & Service Design with her 12+ years of experience working in the creative, wellness & self-development space, Nadia uses conscious strategic tools and subconscious capacity building, to help her clients set themselves up for success in their lives and businesses by providing support at the points where strategy and capacity meet.

I recently had the opportunity to take Nadia’s fantastic Service Design School to help me apply Design Thinking principles to structure my coaching services. What I didn’t expect and I’m utterly grateful for was learning about subconscious capacity building and exploring what areas of my subconscious can be expanded.

In this episode you’ll hear Nadia share:

• What is strategy and capacity and what are the things that hold us back

• What is subconscious capacity building and how do we do this?

• How she uses Human Design and Astrology in her client work

• What is Design Thinking and Service Design School

• Client transformations she’s witnesses

In a society where we're expected to push ourselves to work and accomplish much as quickly as possible, it’s no wonder that burnout has become the accepted norm.

In this last installment of my three-part series on burnout, we explore Human Design and why you might be more susceptible to burnout than others.

I share with you how I use my Human Design to reframe my thought patterns and daily habits to avoid burnout.
