In this episode, I’m answering a listener's question on how can a Projector manage their energy while working for someone else as they’re always feeling drained small, and drained.

As a fellow Projector, and someone who’s had a 26-year (and counting) career working for others, I share my personal experiences, anecdotes I’ve picked up over the years, and questions for personal inquiry in doing an exercise in self-observation with non-judgment.

It's one thing to talk about boundaries, but it's another thing to establish and uphold them because let’s be honest - it can be a hard thing to do.

So in this episode, I invited my friend, Diane Sanfilippo, to join me for a conversation on how to set boundaries.

Diane is a certified nutrition consultant. She’s the owner and founder of Balanced Bites Wholesome Foods, a New York Times bestselling author, and the co-host of the Full Plate Podcast, a new podcast talking about anti-diet culture, mental health, & boundaries. She’s been helping people establish boundaries for years, both in real life and on her social media platforms. 

You’ll hear us talk about:

• How Diane naturally embodies her Human Design

• How she came to help people with boundaries

• Why boundaries are a good thing

• The different levels of boundaries

• Practical tips that you can try today to set boundaries

Continuing my ruminations on how we communicate, in this episode I share my recent experiences on feeling vulnerable in ways that I communicate.

You’ll hear me share:

• My recent insights from a Morning Pages journaling practice

• Self-observations on why some content platforms feel safer than others

• How my journey into conscious living began and the hardest person for me to vulnerable with

Having a Defined Throat Center, I’m meant to share my voice and speak my truth.

While I’m very clear on my message - my points of view and approach, over the past few months I’ve been struggling with ambiguity over what tone to express it in.

In this episode, I share:

• My story in detail with this struggle

• How it directly affected the creative blocks I’ve encountered

• What practices I’ve been doing for creative recovery

How are you motivated? What are the intentions that compel you to act?

As introduced in Episode 206, in Human Design, your Motivation is what, at your inner core, makes you take action.

In this episode, I share my reactions to the Need Motivation, Fear Transverse Motivation, and Novice Trajectory from my own Human Design, and reflections on the role they’ve played in my life thus far.

How are you motivated? What compels you to act - to take action?

Continuing our exploration of the Human Design Variables, in this episode, we take a look at Human Design Motivations.

You’ll hear:

• What’s Motivation in Human Design


• Where Motivation fits into the Human Design variables framework and how it corresponds to the other Variables


• The six kinds of Motivations, their Transverse Motivations, and their Trajectories


• And we take a brief look at the View Variable

Human Design teaches us to embrace our individuality and that includes how we best make decisions. While some of us are guided by our emotions, others are guided by intuition. To know what approach is best for you, look to your Human Design Authority.

We’re continuing our series of exploring each authority by hearing from individuals who each represent one of the seven different authorities.

In this episode, I’m joined by returning guest, Nadia Gabrielle. Nadia first joined me in Episode 179 on Subconscious Capacity Building, one of her areas of expertise as she merges her with her decade-plus years of business experience in brand building, design thinking, service design to serve wellness creatives and those in the self-development space.

Nadia incorporates Human Design into her client work, which means she’s well-acquainted with all aspects of her Human Design, including her Self-Projected Authority.

You’ll hear Nadia share:

• What is a Self-Projected Authority

• How she experiments with and is led by her authority

• How she balances her authority with her Type and Strategy (i.e., aura mechanics)

• What it’s like to have a defined G-Center (the center of identity and direction)

• How she uses incorporates her Human Design into how she runs her business

Since diving into Human Design, I’ve held a fascination with the Sacral center - the source of life force energy. As a non-Sacral person, I’ve often wondered what that sustainable energy feels like and how does it feel to rely solely on your gut feelings to make decisions.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow Human Design coach, Brent Reichenberger, a 1 /3 Pure Generator to enlighten me (and you) on what it’s like to have a Sacral Authority.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• What is a Sacral Authority

• How his Sacral Authority leads him on a daily basis

• Differences we’ve both observed between being a Sacral vs non-Sacral being

• And we even dive into our 1 / 3 Profile Lines

Back in Episode 179, I was joined by Nadia Gabrielle for a conversation on Subconscious Capacity building. Nadia shared how 5% of what we do is in our conscious, but 95% of what we do is from our subconscious. The episode had me observing what’s sitting in my subconscious and how can I expand its capacity to meet my conscious self.

This exercise in observation led me to recognize how my Splenic Authority had been nudging me for months to shift the scope of my work, and how I’d been ignoring it.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes for a candid conversation on:

• How I’m shifting my work

• The backstory behind how it came about

• What happened when I ignored my Splenic Authority, then finally followed it

• What my service offerings are today
