Do you have a trait or “sense” that you excel at? It’s a knack that you have that not very many others possess.

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

You’ll hear:

• What is Cognition in Human Design

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

• The six kinds of Cognition and how they show up

In the last episode, Episode 197, I introduced the Human Design Variables. In this episode, the second installment in this mini-series we take a look at the variable of Determination.

You’ll hear:

• What is Determination in Human Design

• How it fits into the framework and corresponds to the other Variables

• The six kinds of Determination and the tones for each one

Did you know that there’s an element in Human Design connected to digestion?

As a Functional Nutrition Health Coach that specializes in digestive and gut health, when I heard this, I was so intrigued that I just had to learn more.

Just as Functional Nutrition recalibrated my thinking to going beyond the surface to look at what’s at the root of everything, I quickly realized that this is what Human Design has come to do for me as well. It’s a deeper way to look after my well-being beyond what’s just on my plate.

And the Human Design Variables is yet another layer of how Human Design sheds light on our health in literal and energetic ways.

In this episode, I provide an overview of what the Human Design Variables are, and it kicks off a mini-series where we’ll explore each variable and how they complement each other.

I’m thrilled to be joined by returning guest, Victoria Jane! Victoria first appeared on the show back in Episode 130 and has since become my Human Design mentor, having been a part of her inaugural Human Design Coaching Certification program.

If you’re a Projector or Manifestor, then you may have a Splenic Authority (the only two Human Design Types this is possible for). The Splenic Authority is all about spontaneity, being in the moment, and trusting your intuitions - having a knowing that can’t always be explained.

In this episode, Victoria joins me for a candid conversation on our Splenic Authorities. You’ll hear us discuss:

• The similarities and differences in our Human Design charts as both being Splenic Projectors

• How we’ve each learned to recognize our Splenic intuition

• How we’re both guided by our Splenic Authority and how it’s influenced life decisions

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

A frequently asked question I’m asked is the difference between an emotional and non-emotional person in Human Design. So in this episode, I’ve invited my friend, Sandy Yang, to join me for a conversation exploring this.

Sandy is a fellow Human Design coach, who works also encompasses brain rewiring and energy healing. While we’re both Projectors, Sandy has an Emotional Authority, while I have a Splenic Authority, making me a non-emotional in Human Design.

You’ll hear us discuss:

• What is an Emotional Authority

• How having an Emotional Authority shows up for Sandy on a daily basis

• Differences we’ve both observed between being an emotional vs non-emotional being

• What changes Sandy’s made since learning about Human Design

Human Design encourages us to explore our true selves versus our conditioned selves and embrace our natural gifts. Your Human Design Type is how our energy functions in the world, our Authority is how we’re meant to make decisions, and our Profile Lines are our personalities. It adds another “flavor” that, in combination with other parts of our design, makes us unique!

In this episode, we explore the six Profile lines and I share how learning about my Profile Lines 1 and 3 resonated with me.

As a health coach who has helped clients with energy management to reduce stress, fatigue, and burnout, the Sacral center is one aspect of Human Design that strongly resonates with me because those who defined Sacral centers know when “enough is enough.”

Continuing the conversation from Episode 191, in this episode, I reflect on how learning about my undefined Sacral center has further shifted my relationship with food, tracking, and the apps that I use to support this.

As a health coach who has helped clients with energy management to reduce stress, fatigue, and burnout, the Sacral center is one aspect of Human Design that strongly resonates with me because those who defined Sacral centers know when “enough is enough.”

As someone with an undefined Sacral center, I’ve spent *a lot* of time thinking about how this shows up for me, as someone who struggled with adrenal depletion and overtraining.

So, in this episode, I share my reflections on how this presented in the past in my relationship with exercise, and how it’s helped me shift my relationship to workouts.
