On 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 and how that influenced her ability to connect with and work with her emotional authority. This was such a fun episode, and Kristin shares so much insight into the workings of the Solar Plexus and her own experiences with it. If you or someone you know is an emotional authority, I definitely recommend giving this episode a listen and reflecting on the power of emotions. And even if you're like me and don't have an emotional authority, Kristin's approach to emotions is definitely one worth reflecting on - because we do experience emotions.   Kristin's Links TPL085 - https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl085/   Special Session - https://kqunplugged.as.me/tpl   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rewildingkq   Website - www.kqunplugged.co     Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

Have 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 is a big part of that. (It's similar to the April showers bring May flowers thing.) We'll talk about how to move through melancholy and its potential connection to the shadow of your gates. (And that can offer clues to how to deal with the melancholy.)

We'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 certainly encourage Projectors to do so. (I mean, if you don't recognize yourself, can you really live your design?)  We'll talk about what it mean to recognize yourself, what that looks like, and how you can go about actually recognizing your energy. And keep in mind that this journey is highly personal, and how you feel recognized may differ from how I feel recognized. I do offer two different examples from my own experience recently of how I was able to recognize myself - in both a joyful situation and a more melancholic one.  So listen into the episode and let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear what recognizing yourself looks like for you!   Check out That Projector Life on Patreon! Become a Patron and get access to exclusive content + early access to TPL episodes!

That 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 packages, etc.  I really just want to create content, and that's where this refresh is coming in. Spoiler alert: I'm shifting to Patreon and focusing on content creation there. And I'll have more details about all of this in the episode. But don't worry! The That Projector Life podcast will still be available to the public.  Ready to hear more about what this refresh will look like? Dive into the episode!

We 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 huge topic, but Leann really did an amazing job of offering guidance on where we can look in our chart to determine the best path forward. She also shares her view that Projectors have a special connection with the quantum field due to our aura, something that comes into play when we talk about manifesting.  Leann also talked about Cognition and how we can use that to give us greater depth on whether or not an invitation is correct for us. We dove into my Smell cognition and discussed how I can literally smell invitations, something I'll definitely be leaning into in my own experiment.  If you want to connect more with Leann, check out her links below!   Support the podcast by making a donation - https://glow.fm/thatprojectorlife/   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Looking for more courses, challenges, and resources that support a Projector in business?

We'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 the creative cycle. Then, we'll look at how the creative cycle itself shows up in our lives - and what to do when we're in the shadow or winter part of it. (The answer here likely isn't going to be what you expect.) Finally, we'll zoom out and look at the Human Design chart to explore how creativity shines through the different centers.  And we'll hammer home the idea that inconsistency is ok - and it's actually how the centers work. (Not even the Sacral center is going to be on all the time. It also needs to rest.) Even if you don't feel like a creative soul, give this episode a listen - because I promise the creative cycle shows up in your life. You just may not be aware of it yet.  Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

Projectors 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 into the not-self, deconditioning the not-self, and embracing your unique energy. Ready to get deep?

Have 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 you're feeling frustrated with your design while watching other people fall in love with theirs. While these action steps may not help you change your perception or feelings toward your chart overnight, they'll hopefully give you a place to start if you're ready to connect with your chart.  Ultimately, the biggest thing to keep in mind is to give yourself time and space to feel and process what you need to. If you feel like you're forcing things by doing this work, then take a step back and return at a later time. It's ok to take space if things aren't feeling correct.

In 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'll talk about why in this episode.) We'll also talk about how to reframe a perceived weakness and how you can turn it into a strength (or at least begin to be ok with it).  Fair warning: I'm very passionate about this topic, so expect some emphatic speeches in this episode.

In 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 it. We'll look at your mindset and your energy around money and talk about how those impact your Projector journey. We'll also talk about how our Projector strategy and authority come into play when it comes to making money. And yes, we'll also talk about following your bliss because that's really important, too.  I'm under no illusion that this single episode will completely overhaul your relationship with money. That's not what it's here for. This episode is meant to plant some seeds - to help you change your perspective and to begin a new understanding of how your Projector energy is tied to money. Take what I say here with a grain of salt and find what works for you.  Episode Links Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

Join 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 actually stop and listen to them. Victoria has fantastic suggestions that Projectors can use to help us hone our listening skills. And she shares her insights in actionable ways. Hearing Victoria speak about the importance of listening was so fun. I walked away with a lot to think about - and improve - when it comes to being a better listener.  Ready to brush up on your listening skills?

Look, 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, and how we really want to move through it. And while you will see the top-of-mind challenges like waiting, making money, and burnout, we'll also talk about some other challenges that don't get quite as much attention.  As you listen to the episode, notice where you feel a lot of frustration or resonance with a particular challenge. And then take what I recommend for overcoming that challenge and tweak it to work for you and your energy. It's ok to say that things are difficult or hard - and it's ok to give yourself the space to process them. But after that, it's time to shift and move past that challenge - in alignment with your Projector energy.    Episode Links Product Spotlight - Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

In 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 important to understand these dynamics. (Also, looking at and understanding your relationship chart can create a lot of "ah-ha" moments for you.)  We also talked about how to support your partner, friend, or child when their design is completely different from yours. And here, Stacy's emotional authority really shone. She offers some great strategies and tips for people without an emotional authority when it comes to living - and working with - an emotional authority. And she rightly points out that it really comes down to respect. Trusting the person you're living with is really important.  This was such a fun and enlightening walk through the Human Design relationship chart. I hope it helps shed some new light on your relationships with others.

In 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 mindset and frame of reference when it comes to work. Projectors may not be here to work in the traditional sense, but we are here to contribute.  What we offer is unique to our design, so spend time with your channels and reflect on what you want to offer the world. You know what you want to do (even if you can't quite mentally describe it). And reflect on how your energy wants to work - or offer itself to the world.    Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

We'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 questions. We will go into invitations a bit as I outline my philosophy behind them. But we'll spend more time answering how I arrived at my understanding of invitations and whether or not it's the correct one (spoiler alert: I don't know - but it works for me).  So if you had questions along these lines, hopefully this episode will answer at least some of them. And if you have more questions that I didn't answer, let me know.    Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

In 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 speak on these experiences. If you have a 5th line profile, or if you know someone who does, what Miran shares will be incredibly helpful.  We also talked about the not-self and how Miran has learned to clarify what is and isn't his. At the end, he walks us through an exercise we can do to help move away from energy that isn't ours and back into our peace and power. It was so powerful to hear!  If you want to connect with Miran - and check out his not-self course - all of his links are listed below.    Miran's Links Website - https://raphaelsabitzer.com/  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3YmyfafLvK1oU7NPblWQbm Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/florescence/id1653234944 The Not-Self Training -

Human 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 salt. The deciding factor for whether or not to join a certification should always be your authority.  I'll also share my experience learning Human Design - from studying books alone to finally deciding it was time for me to join a certification program.    Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

In 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 great way to learn how to work with a different type - and to see how that type operates.  We'll also talk about working with a Projector coach and why that can be helpful to do at least once in your journey. Ultimately, which coach you decide to work with is a highly personal decision - and not one to make lightly. As always, follow your authority and energy. They won't lead you astray.    Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

Marketing 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 difficult truths when it pushes out its product, service, or system. And this tendency isn't just limited to Human Design marketing. Every marketing team worth their salt is going to focus on the benefits of their solution...not the hard work that it takes to achieve those benefits. And that's where this episode comes in. We're diving into some of the hard truths about the Human Design system that are often brushed over in online marketing (my own included). So let's dive in and look at the things we need to know when in the presence of marketing.   Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

We'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 beats for your life - kind of like an outline that you can flesh out on your own). But that's not all there is to it. Many people want to know exactly what they're supposed to do in life, and the Incarnation Cross just doesn't provide that kind of specificity. (Don't believe me? I break down my Incarnation Cross in this episode and then create a story out of it. And not once do I mention podcasting or being an entrepreneur.)  If you're interested in learning more about your Incarnation Cross, this episode will give you some great things to keep in mind and help you understand a little more about how to approach this important part of your chart.    Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

In 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 at the Design and what that means, and then we'll look at the Personality and the energy there. Finally, we'll talk about the different combinations of energy that can exist between the Design and the Personality - and this is where things get...interesting and confusing. This information is definitely meant to be more contemplative and enlightening. Because we're both the Design and the Personality. While we're separating the two in the episode, it's not possible to choose to only be our Design and not our Personality. We're both, and we're meant to move through the world as both.   Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

Join 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 you. She has a Manifestor bean of her own, and she shares some strategies that she uses with her own child to help him become an aligned, healthy Manifestor.  It was such a treat to sit down with Holly and listen to her wisdom and experience. She even talks about the unique relationship that Manifestors and Projectors have (as well as the differences between our auras). I learned so much from Holly, and I would love to invite you to check out her links below, especially if you have a Manifestor in your life.    Connect With Holly The Manifestor Community website Find The Manifestor Community on Instagram Listen to Holly's podcast - Hunting for Purpose   Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

In 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 this. The Gene Keys system tends to be a bit more contemplative than Human Design is, and as a result, I struggled to get into it the first time I tried.  However, I listened to my energy and followed the flow. That led me to pick up my Gene Keys books and contemplate the energy of my gates. As a result of that, I'm able to share with you the experience and insights that I gleaned. If you're interested in going deeper into your energy, I would recommend the Gene Keys. Also, keep in mind that I'm just scratching the surface with this episode and the work I've done with the Gene Keys so far.

We'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 journey versus when you're in year 5. And it's important to understand that. This is a multi-layered journey and long-term process. Nothing is going to happen overnight.  This episode is designed to empower you through a super simple, fluid process that you can use as a launching pad to really dive into your design and live as your truest self.    Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

There 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 correctly by following our strategy and authority. Though we'll also look at the messy situations that don't allow us to easily follow that suggestion (because sometimes life happens). My challenge to you - and me - after this episode is to be ok with sitting in silence and to practice watching what is said. Mindful speaking is something that I'm reflecting on, and I invite you to join me in this experiment by listening to the episode.   Learn about invitations, recognition, and how to work with both in Attract Epic Invitations.

Are 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 us the most - because it's so deeply hurtful. Our Authority Wound serves to disconnect us from our authority - to shame us for following it - and to ultimately give our power away to others. Each authority has a different wounding message - and a different wound to work through. Ready to discover yours?

In 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 the rails a little and talk about being an SPP out in the world. Because that's where my true ah-ha came in. As an SPP, I have to be myself in the world. I have to move through the world as myself. That's crucial to me.  And I know that that's true for everyone, but for an SPP, the Identity and G Center hit hard - sometimes it's one of the only centers we have defined. So I explore my realizations that SPPs can have a deep and profound impact on the world simply through being ourselves. I also offer some reflection questions for my fellow SPPs.  While this episode may seem like me rambling about myself, I hope that it's helpful for other SPPs who are struggling with this authority and feel like they don't have anything to offer. And I also hope that this episode will help everyone else who isn't an SPP understand us just a little better.    Episode Links Learn about invitations, recognition, and how to work with both in Attract Epic Invitations.

In 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 change.  As Projectors, we tend to feel like outsiders - and that's especially true for those of us who lack tribal channels. But Darryl's reflection and realizations around belonging and claiming spaces adds a new perspective to this discussion. What if we chose to claim a space for ourselves? What if we chose to belong to a place? And what if that choice allows us to remain in alignment with our energy?  Ready to explore how you can begin to claim a space for yourself?

Join 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 capable of solving problems on their own through their Sacral responses. I share some about my Manifestor and the challenges and strategies I've learned along the way. Our conversation also shows the vast difference not just between the Human Design types - but the kids themselves. Sashya doesn't parent all of Generators the same way, and being aware of their unique designs makes it easier for her to understand how she can support them as individuals. Listen in for an honest parenting conversation and to learn how we apply Human Design within our families to support positive growth.   Episode Links Connect with Sashya on her website: www.sashyaclark.com   Learn about invitations, recognition, and how to work with both in Attract Epic Invitations.

I 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 wasn't aware of his energy.) But also, remember to take this chart - and the reading - with a grain of salt. I do share where I got Dr. King's birth time and place in the episode, but I'm not sure if it's set in stone.  Let's take a peek at the energy behind one of the giants of the Civil Rights Movement and the energy he used to make waves.

Join 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 eats in alignment with her determination and how that positively impacted her overall health and her life. We also talk about being a PLR-DLR Projector and what that's like.  This is such a great episode to listen to! Helmy shares her experiences of being a Projector and moving through the Human Design System in such a relatable way. (And as she points out, her journey isn't linear).

In 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. (Though I will admit that this is simply my interpretation of the Human Design system. I don't think that you HAVE to be in the teaching profession if you have the teaching channels.)  We'll explore the complexity and the layers that exist within the Human Design chart and how those layers can inform your quest to find your purpose and direction. And at the end of the episode, we'll look at two different charts with the same Incarnation Cross and talk about how that theme of direction is present in both charts - but in different ways.

We'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 (though that doesn't make it any easier to experience). If we're able to step back from our pain and allow ourselves to reflect on what we're going through, we'll uncover some deeper truths about ourselves as individuals - and about the tribe. And that's one of the beauties of loneliness. We're able to gain a new perspective - or uncover a deeper truth - when we allow ourselves to be. Listen in to explore loneliness and how we can use it for good (and how we can potentially make this experience easier on ourselves).   Show Links Learn about invitations, recognition, and how to work with both in Attract Epic Invitations.

  This 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 ground running), Kehla offers tons of different ways you can bring depth to your understanding of the Gene Keys system. We also talk about the similarities and differences between the Gene Keys and the Human Design Systems. And Kehla again comes through with great suggestions to make the Gene Keys a little more actionable. (This system is really contemplative, and my 3rd line profile struggled with that.)

It'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 is real, and it tends to lead us to question our value and our contributions to society (also, helloooo undefined willpower!). But because of Projectors' unique energy aura, there are gifts that only we can provide. The first gift, slowing down, lays the foundation for all the other gifts. And I think it's probably the most impactful one that Projectors have to offer. However it's important to understand that Projectors can really only access these gifts consistently through deconditioning and living in alignment. Moving through the deconditioning process allows us to see and experience these gifts for ourselves - giving us a taste of the value that we offer to others.

In 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 paradoxes as well as some common places where you can find one in your own chart. The impact that you notice from these places of potential tension will vary based on the paradox itself as well as other layers in your chart (which we'll talk about in the episode).  Ultimately, it's up to you to explore your chart and find those paradoxes and watch them play out. That's really where this comes alive - as you watch it unfold in your own life. Developing an understanding of your unique internal paradox can help provide some relief and a better sense of how to work with your energy. (But be warned that there may not always be peaceful reconciliation between these areas of tension. And sometimes that's the point - no peaceful solution.)   Show Notes Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Want to learn how you can work with your Projector energy to attract aligned invitations?

We'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 (complete with examples). Then we'll talk about how we can navigate the Tribe - because that's the tricky part. Tribes are easy to spot, but they can be difficult to navigate. And this difficulty increases if you don't have Tribal circuitry (a.k.a. channels). So we'll talk about navigating the Tribe as someone with Tribal Circuitry and then as someone without Tribal Circuitry - because those two experiences can be vastly different. As we move into the holiday (and more Tribal) season, keep these things in mind - especially at your next family gathering.   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Want to learn how you can work with your Projector energy to attract aligned invitations?

In 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 household. (It's only taken me 5 years to find my current system, and I'm sure that will change when we move in the future).  The topics that we'll dive into more specifically are how to clean without losing steam halfway through - and leaving a bigger mess than when you started - and meal planning. Don't lose sight of the fact that running a household is a big job, and it takes a lot of time and energy. And be gentle with yourself. The world won't end if you don't clean the bathrooms (or vacuum).    Show Notes Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Want to learn how you can work with your Projector energy to attract aligned invitations?

This 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 look at two examples from my life where my dormant gates showed up - and how I was able to begin changing my reaction to and understanding of my energy. (And one of them is definitely still a work in progress, but I'm getting better at spotting this energy before it does major damage.) As always, remember that the process-oriented steps we cover in this episode aren't always going to lived in a linear way. Start where you need to and continue to experiment and observe your energy as you live your Projector magic.    Show Notes   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Ready to learn more about how Projectors can work with (and wait for) invitations? Check out Attract Epic Invitations, a course designed to help you solidify your knowledge of invitations and help you begin to work with your magnetic Projector energy.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl162/

This 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 in this episode came from The Definitive Book of Human Design by Ra Uru Hu and Lynda Bunnell. And while I do meander through the foundational stuff, I also encourage you to question the system and to some extent, the messenger.

Because 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 it comes to your energy and how you can work with it. We'll go through each of the planets as they appear in the Human Design chart and talk about the influence they have on the gate they're in. We'll also touch on the Design and Personality aspects of the planets and gates so you can begin to explore that in this larger context.  This episode is meant to be more contemplative in nature. There isn't going to be a list or a process for you to follow. Simply listen to the description of the planets and how they can impact your gate. Then, reflect on how that planet shows up in your specific gate(s). It may take a while for that reflection to happen, though. I'm still working my way through some of my gates and planets.  (Hint: If your gate is off an undefined center, it may take a little longer to understand that energy and how it operates in you, especially if you're dealing with a gate in your Design - the red.)   Show Notes Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Want to learn how you can work with your Projector energy to attract aligned invitations?

In 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 impacts the big picture and how the energy of the gate plays out. After listening to this episode, take some time to move through each of your gates and both explore and contemplate how that gate shows up in your life given the layers we've explored here.

In 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 system in her own business with clients. Luisa also shares a ground-breaking way of looking at social media - one that I thoroughly enjoyed and have since played with myself. And our conversation about social media naturally led into creating as a Projector, as that's something Luisa is passionate about. So we hear how she creates as an aligned Projector with an undefined Throat. And speaking of the centers, Luisa shares how she's shifted her perspective on those open ones - viewing them not as a weakness but as a strength. This conversation was such a blast to have. Luisa has a very calming energy that really invites you to settle in and join the discussion.

In this episode, I'm joined by Splenic Projector Simran Sondhi, a self-described Bridge who connects people with the path they were born to follow. Of course, we explore all things related to that Projector life and allow the conversation to flow where it will.  We hear how Simran found Human Design and how she's worked with the system - including how her work with it has changed as she's learned and experimented. Simran also shares about her experience in the corporate world as a non-energy Projector with lots of Individual energy - and how she's used that to her advantage in her current business.  We also explore how Simran works with her clients by blending Human Design with other modalities as well as her unique approach to readings and understanding charts. I had such a delightful time chatting with her, and I hope that this episode brings you joy and ah-has.

I've had some rather interesting business realizations over the past few weeks, and I wanted to put them all together so I could share them with you. I know we're all searching for "The Solution" to being a Projector in business. And while I haven't found it, I have discovered several things that have changed my business journey - and my life.  We're starting our episode by talking about money and income goals because, though hustle culture has mostly gone the way of the dinosaurs, it continues to cast a long shadow over the online business space. We'll also look at the role of business in my life and where it fits - because that's been another big realization I've had.  I'm also highlighting and exploring my new approach to both business and life in that I'm no longer pushing for things. So I'll talk about that and how it's played out in my business and what it looks like so far. Finally, we'll touch on some business rules you can break.  In recording this episode, I've realized that there's so much conditioning we have around business - and that adds to the conditioning we already receive from being a Projector. I would love to hear any realizations you've had - either from listening to this episode or from your Projector journey.    Show Notes Support the podcast by making a donation - https://glow.fm/thatprojectorlife/   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl56/

Invitations are a central part of being a Projector, and understanding them (and how to work with them) can be difficult. In this episode, we're once again looking at invitations, waiting, and understanding the energetic exchange that happens.  I'll talk about some things I haven't yet when it comes to invitations - like how waiting can suck and be really uncomfortable. We'll also explore the idea of what I'm now calling "knee-jerk invitations" - invitations that happen without real recognition because Projectors understand how difficult it can be to wait for an invitation. So we decide to simply offer that person the invitation they want. (I've done it, too.) Finally, we'll talk about how difficult this whole Projector thing can be. Because it's not always unicorns and butterflies - though if that's been your experience so far, that's wonderful! This episode ended up being quite heavy, and I didn't intend for that, but I supposed sometimes you have to strap on your scuba tanks and go deep. And that's what we're doing here.  We're exploring some uncomfortable ideas and taking a hard look at ourselves and how we work with invitations in an honest, aligned way. Ready to reflect?

We're doing something a little different in this episode and going over the basics of Human Design. So if you're brand new to the system, this episode will give you a high-level overview of the system and what you can expect when you start working with it. We'll cover your Strategy and Authority and what "Listen to your Strategy and Authority" actually means (because I don't think I've ever broken it down before). While this episode won't be a deep dive of specific strategies and authorities, I've included a list of recommended podcast episodes that you can listen to if you want to go deeper into a specific topic in this episode. This episode will also touch on the Tribalism in Human Design (you know I had to), as well as some recommended resources and other places where you can get some amazing Human Design info. I'm including both official and non-official sources to offer a variety of insights and perspectives.

Join our Splenic Projector guest Jonathan McLean and me for this super fun and entertaining episode of That Projector Life. Jonathan shares his experience as a Splenic Projector in business and in life, pairing that with his willpower and how he's learned to work with it (and not let it get the better of him). We also dive into his channels and talk a little about tribalism and how it plays out in the world, but Jonathan makes a good point that the tribe is super important to humanity and our current place in the world. Finally, we segue into talking about how Projectors interact with the different Human Design types, and we share our experiences working with (or raising in my case) the different types.   Connect With Jonathan Check out his website and book a reading - www.OspreyGuide.com   Show Notes Support the podcast by making a donation - https://glow.fm/thatprojectorlife/   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Looking for more courses, challenges, and resources that support a Projector in business?

This episode of That Projector Life focuses on navigating social media as a Projector. We're going to blend both business strategy and Human Design energy to help you create a plan that works for you. (Even if that plan is having no plan at all! What? Scandalous!) As you can see, we're focusing on keeping social media fun and allowing your energy to shine, because when you're really in your element, that's when you're most magnetic. So while I will offer business strategy tips like use good SEO, I'll also highlight (several times) that following your energy and listening to your authority is so important when it comes to social media. Also, don't ever forget that social media companies want to make money. They prioritize that over pretty much everything else. So if you don't see the success you want just yet - and you're doing everything correctly - it's not you. It's the social media companies and their quest for more profit.

I'm so excited to sit down and chat with Fiona Wong! Fiona is a 3/5 Self-Projected Projector with amazing experiences and insights into being a Projector. We have such a blast as we talk about how Fiona found Human Design and what her experience in business has been like. I got to ask Fiona some of my FAQs and listen to her response. She specifically answered questions around invitations (something I know Projectors can never hear enough about) and marketing as a Projector (again, typically a hot topic). Fiona also shared something that blew my mind about Self Projected Projectors. Apparently, there's a unique way that we manifest! So join me and Fiona as we chat about all things Projector and enjoy each other's company. (And yeah, we do rock the boat a little and go into some not-so-tribal-approved things in Human Design.)   Connect With Fiona The Wild Pixel Website Follow Fiona on Instagram Get Human Design Decoded   Show Notes Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl151/

It's been almost four years since I started the That Projector Life Podcast! And to celebrate the 150th episode, I'm reflecting on the top 5 things I've learned in my time hosting the show. This is a chance for me to share the biggest insights, ah-has, and reflections I've had so far.  And yeah, I'm gonna talk about how Projectors do too much, how success is both easier (and more elusive) to obtain, and how it's important to follow your energy. But you know me. I throw in some related tangents here and there. What's a That Projector Life episode without a trip out to left field? (And seeing as this is the 150th episode, we take a few extra trips out there just for fun.)    Show Notes Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Interested in Human Design Mentoring?

What's the difference between recognition and validation? We're diving into that very question in this episode! Recognition is crucial to Projectors. It's like air to us. We need it to really step into our full Projector superpowers and impact those around us. But where does validation come in? Does it matter? And isn't it basically another form of recognition? I'm walking through both recognition and validation - talking about how they're similar and the differences between them. So if you've often wondered about this - recognition vs validation - tune into the episode to learn my view on the matter. We'll also talk about how not to get caught up in chasing external validation (because that's not a good use of our energy).

We're taking a look at the process I go through when I'm learning about something new, especially in Human Design. I've recently realized that I move through two phases (well, it's probably more, but I'm keeping it simple for now).  First, I start with mentally understanding and processing a new topic. Then, I begin to shift that understanding from my mind into my being through applying what I've learned. I observe myself (and sometimes the world around me) to solidify and more deeply understand what I've learned.  That's why I haven't gone terribly deep into many Human Design topics (think the more in-depth ones like tone or base). Because I simply don't have the embodied understanding that I need to really share the information in a meaningful way.  So as I share this process with you, I want to challenge you and invite you to think about where you are in your own understanding journey in Human Design. Where do you hold the information? And are you really living it? Each answer is personal and unique to you and how you operate, so take some time and reflect.   Support the podcast by making a donation - https://glow.fm/thatprojectorlife/   Want my sass and guidance in your back pocket?

It's been a looooong time since a new TPL episode has been released, but we're finally diving into some Projector goodness once again. We're looking specifically at non-energy Projectors and how to thrive without any motor centers. I'll share some tips that I've discovered in my journey (and yes, we'll talk about strategy and authority as well).  Admittedly, this episode is happening right after a long break, so it's not my usual lengthy episode. Nor is it one of my best. I do hope that it's helpful for non-energy Projectors, though.   Support the podcast by making a donation - https://glow.fm/thatprojectorlife/   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Looking for more courses, challenges, and resources that support a Projector in business?

There are so many people out there teaching and talking about Human Design. How can you possibly find one that's aligned for you? That's what this episode is all about. Everyone has a different approach to Human Design, and that's a good thing! It means you can find a mentor who aligns with you. But what factors should you consider when making this decision? (Besides your authority, of course!) Perhaps a better phrasing would be what factors should you allow your authority to feel into? We'll explore some of the most important factors I recommend considering, especially when you're thinking about joining a certification program or even just purchasing a reading. Remember that everyone's approach will be different, and it's important for you to feel safe, recognized, and heard when you're working with someone. So keep that in mind as we dive into this episode. Even if someone checks all the boxes, but they feel off, trust your energy. (And definitely feel free to apply all of these factors to me, too. I'm not exempt.)

In this episode, we're talking about why and how to set up business systems. Honestly, these guys are the backbone of my business. They do the heavy lifting for me while I'm creating other content or resting. I use automated emails the most (think funnels or sequences) to connect further with people who sign up for my freebies. So we'll dive into how you can use automated systems like funnels without feeling sleazy. (And yes, it's totes possible). We'll also talk about viewing your business systems as a whole and how each part works together. And that doesn't always include automation.

In this episode, I walk you through my recommendations for Projectors who want to create sales pages. Not surprisingly, we're blending both business strategy and your energy here, so I'll have suggestions for both.  I'll cover whether or not Projectors can create sales pages (spoiler alert?) and then talk about the difference between a Projector's sales page and a Generator's or Manifestor's sales page.  I'll also talk about using your energy on your sales page and how my design is influencing the advice I'm offering. Finally, we'll look at how you can energetically approach your sales page to lessen some of the stress and pressure around it. Ready to learn about sales pages for Projectors?

In this episode, I'm looking at my very non-linear Human Design journey and sharing a bit more of it with you. Specifically, we'll be looking at deconditioning both your strategy and authority and your open centers. Over the past few weeks, I've been able to realize and then process the fact that deconditioning happens in layers. And while I knew that the process itself wasn't linear, the way the layers have shown up have been interesting.  So I'll share about my heart center - the current center that I'm once again observing and deconditioning. It's so important that we realize that Human Design isn't going to be a linear journey - and the HD system itself is so complex and deep that it makes sense to decondition in layers.  I'm hoping that this episode will inspire you to dig a little deeper and see what other conditioning you can uncover in your open centers. Also, I'm of the opinion that being a Projector with lots of open centers is a lot like gopher bash - but not in a bad way! Having a lot of open centers means there are more opportunities to learn about yourself and the world around you.    For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl143/ The That Projector Life Membership is now open.

In this episode, I'm joined by Bridget Cooper, a Mental Projector, life coach, and alignment guide. We have a great conversation that covers so many topics! We start off with Bridget's story and how she came to find Human Design and her experience with it. We also talk about navigating the tribe as a Projector with an open heart. Bridget shares her experience and offers some great wisdom for those of us without Tribal energy. In talking with Bridget, I'm also able to better develop an understanding of Mental Projectors. So if you're an MP, hopefully you'll resonate with what Bridget says as she explains the sounding board authority. We also talk about the open G Center and the defined G Center and how they differ.   Connect With Bridget below!

I'm finally back! And I'm talking briefly about where I've been before we dive into the episode. We're actually blending some psychology (don't worry - nothing scary) with Human Design. We'll start out by looking at the motivation cycle I found through Noom. I'll talk about each phase and how it can show up in our lives (with both business and Human Design examples). Then I'll talk about how we can identify which stage of the motivational cycle we're in and how we can work through that, especially when it comes to a lack of motivation. However, it's important to remember that motivation isn't consistent - even if you're an energy Projector. It's also necessary sometimes to simply allow yourself to not be motivated. We'll talk about finding the proper balance for you at the end of the episode.   The That Projector Life Membership is now open! Want more info on the membership?

In this episode, I walk you through everything you need to know about the That Projector Life Membership, which opens today. We'll talk about the three courses currently included in the membership - Sales Pages for Projectors, Content Strategy for Projectors, and Attract Epic Invitations. We'll also talk pricing for the membership, why I decided to create a membership, and my intentions for the membership and how it supports you as a Projector. This is less of a Human Design/Projector-focused episode and more of a "here's what I've been working on and here's the info you need to make an aligned decision about whether it's right for you or not" episode. And yes, this title (and some of the episode) is poking fun at my taking such a long time to get this created. Because it's ok to take longer than you want to create something, and we all need some help accepting that...but it doesn't mean we can laugh a little about it.   Join the That Projector Life Membership here.

We're doing something a little different in this episode. We're looking at this idea of a "good" Projector and then blowing it up - debunking it - throwing it in the trash - whatever you want to call it. This episode covers a lot of different issues that - to me at least - impact this idea of a "good" Projector. We'll talk about Projectors and work, the high standards that we as Projectors put on ourselves, and the fact that our value isn't tied to them. We'll also talk about how Projectors as a type tend to be misunderstood and disempowered by the other types. I'll be honest - this episode was emotional and heavy for me, and I didn't expect that. I also want to be clear that I harbor no ill-will towards anyone. This episode is me expressing my frustration with things I've seen and realized in my HD journey so far. And I want to share these realizations with you so they can inform your journey.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl139/ Create your free Human Design Chart at Jovian Archive or TalkingBodyGraph Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

We're taking a step into the everyday life of a Projector in this episode. I'll share the realization that I've had over the past few months that's changed how I operate on a daily basis. (This is also what I recommend to Projectors during Human Design readings.) This episode looks at how Projectors can operate and remain in their strategy and authority on a daily basis. Because invitations tend to be few and far between, Projectors are largely left to figure out how to operate between invitations on their own. While I've released a podcast episode or two on how to wait (episode 70), I wanted to revisit this topic on a deeper, more energy-focused level in light of my recent realization. The information in this episode comes from my personal experiences and my observations of my own energy in recent months. Feel free to take this with a grain of salt, and as always, I recommend experimenting with and observing your own energy and authority to find what works best in the everyday for you. I also recommend not pushing - because when Projectors push things tend to not go well. (Although you can def experiment with that as well.)   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl138/ Create your free Human Design Chart at Jovian Archive or TalkingBodyGraph Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

This episode sees us continuing our journey through the Individual Circuit as we explore the Integration Channel. Contrary to anything I said in the episode, the Integration Channel is part of the Individual Circuit - it's just a very special and unique part of it. (As life would have it, I had this realization after recording the episode and didn't have the energy to edit the audio portion.) The Integration Channel differs slightly from the Individual Circuit in that it focuses more on self-empowerment. Remember that the Individual Circuit is all about empowerment - but people who are Individuals are so because they're here to mutate the Tribe and the Collective through example. So by an Individual being themselves, they bring mutation and empowerment to others. In the Integration Channel, the focus is self-empowerment, meaning that the channels here encourage people to live - and survive - as themselves.

This week, we finish up the Individual Circuit in Human Design. Our focus is on the Knowing Circuit and the channels within it. The Knowing Circuit is interesting. As it's part of Individual energy, it's here to mutate and evolve the Tribe and the Collective. But it does so in an interesting way.  People with definition in the Knowing Circuit are here to be empowered to live as themselves. And by living as their most true selves, they empower others to do the same, bringing mutation to the Tribe and Collective. This tends to be more of a "show don't tell" affair in the Knowing Circuit. People with energy here need an audience so they can show how they're living as themselves.  But the individual won't always have the knowing they desire - it comes and goes. And we'll dive more into that in this episode.

We're continuing our deep dive into Human Design circuit groups, focusing on the mutating powers of individual energy. The Individual Circuit group is interesting. It's full of mutation-focused energy that pushes both the Tribe and the Collective to evolve. However, the challenge of the Individual is to be accepted by the groups it wishes to evolve.  We'll focus on the Individual Circuit as a whole today and talk about its role in both Human Design and in humanity as a whole. Then we'll head into the Centering Circuit and explore the two channels present there.  Don't forget, all the links mentioned in the show are below in the show notes.    Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

Our second week in the Collective Circuit brings us to the Sensing Circuit. It can be difficult to believe that the Sensing Circuit group is part of Collective energy because it's so different from Logic energy.   The Sensing Circuit is focused on experiences, even if those experiences seemingly defy Logic. We're in the Solar Plexus with this circuit group. This is all about emotions as fuel for new experiences, for learning all we can during those experiences, and for sharing them with others.   The thing that ties the Sensing Circuit and the Logic Circuit together in Collective energy is the keynote of sharing. Both circuit groups are compelled to share what they learn - whether they've learned about a pattern, or a new experience.   The Sensing Circuit, with its drive for new experiences - and its ability to reflect on the lessons learned afterward - holds a very important part in humanity's evolution. Some of our most profound truths have come as a result of the Sensing Circuit's desire to reflect and share.   Ready to blend business strategy with your Projector energy?

We're continuing our journey through Human Design Circuitry by diving into the Collective Circuit. This week, we're focusing on the Logic Circuit, the pattern-focused half of the Collective Circuit.   The Logic Circuit - and the channels in it - are focused on finding and identifying patterns. Seeing what works (and what doesn't) over time is the strength of this circuit group.   The awareness centers that we're dealing with here are the Spleen and the Ajna - and because we're in logical energy, everything is very black and white. The pattern either works or it doesn't. Another thing to note about the Collective in general is the need for patience. The Collective wants to know that the pattern works over time.   The Logic Circuit group is focused on pushing humanity forward through evaluation of patterns. If the pattern works and is good for the many, we'll keep it.   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Ready to blend business strategy with your Projector energy?

This episode is going to be info-heavy. I'm dusting off some basic Human Design info and going deep with it.  We'll briefly talk about circuitry in Human Design and how it impacts us, and then we'll dive directly into the Tribal Circuit Group and its two "subcircuits" - the Defense Circuit and the Ego Circuit.  The Tribal Circuit Group is so interesting in terms of how it works and its role in humanity's evolution. The Tribe is the glue that holds us together - and you can feel that Tribal pull even if you don't have many Tribal gates.  We'll talk about the channels in each of the Tribal Circuits and how they impact those who have them and those who don't. We'll also cover how you may feel if you have a lot of Tribal energy vs if you don't have a lot of Tribal energy.  This was such a fun episode to record! I hope you enjoy it!    Links below!

We're finally talking about invitations again! This episode came about because I'm human, and as I've continued to live as a Projector, I've learned and grown. I've also discovered new things about invitations - and have some common questions I get about them.  So in this episode, we'll take another look at invitations, and I'll share what I've learned since my last invitations episode. The common questions (or areas of interest) we'll cover include needing invitations to create something in your business, reaching out to people without an invitation, and following up with clients.  We'll also look at the personal front and talk about online dating, family relationships, and a holiday experiment to try.  Also, it seems like the Instagram account that was impersonating me has been taken down. But I do talk about it in this episode. If you want to just skip to the episode itself, start at 9:30ish.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

We're continuing our theme of the mind in this episode! We'll talk again briefly about the role of the mind in Human Design, and then we'll launch into why it's important to understand the mind.  We'll also touch on how you can use your mind and your authority to "tag team" and deepen your understanding of a situation. You may notice this most when you sit down to reflect or journal - you give your mind the space to process things while also allowing your authority space to have a say.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

In this episode, we're taking a step back from our minds to really begin observing how they work.  In Human Design, the mind tends to be thought of only as something that can take you off your path. And while it has the potential to do that, only viewing the mind as such doesn't account for its beauty and purpose in HD.  We'll look at what's really supposed to be directing the vehicle (a.k.a. your body) and how your mind can take the wheel. We'll also talk about how you can begin to step away from your thoughts and become an observer of them.  This is all part of the deconditioning journey, so listen in to gain a new perspective on the mind and how you can relate to it.   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

Join me and my Splenic Projector guest, Brand Manager Allie Tymo as we talk all things Projector, business, and life. We have a great conversation, starting with what being an open G-Center Projector is like. Allie shares her experience as well as her tips for creating a brand as someone who has an open G-Center.   We segue into other areas of interest, including deconditioning as a Projector and regulating our nervous systems. Allie has some great suggestions for how Projectors (or anyone, really) can begin to tap into their body and nervous system to move out of fight or flight so they can really begin to understand what's going on.   This was such a fun and interesting conversation, so join us by listening to the episode!   Connect with Allie on Instagram.   Join the That Projector Life Membership!

I'm joined by 1/3 Splenic Projector Clarise Bezuidenhout as we talk about all things recognition in this episode.  Our focus is more on internal recognition, as Clarise points out its importance in our deconditioning process. Internal recognition - our ability to see our gifts and really appreciate them (and our energy) is what really sets the stage for Projector success and the ability for us to attract aligned invitations and opportunities.  Clarise shares her journey and understanding of the part that internal recognition plays in Projector life throughout the episode. She also offers some tips for how to begin recognizing yourself during the deconditioning process.    Connect With Clarise on Instagram.   Join the That Projector Life Facebook Group here.

The show is finally back! After an unexpected 2-week break, I'm bringing you a new episode (ironically as a result of that break).  This episode is all about alignment and what I've learned since starting my Projector journey. And all of these lessons have been highlighted by what I've experienced over the past two weeks.  Here's the thing - a lot of time, we think about alignment as a one-time thing. We say "I'll make this one aligned decision or take this one aligned action, and I'll be good to go."  But the truth of the matter is that alignment doesn't always work like that. Sometimes, alignment actually takes work and challenges us to grow. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try/meditate/clear our energy, etc, we can't figure out what's aligned for us.  So what happens then? Are we doing something wrong? (Spoiler alert: No.) We'll talk about all of this (and more) in this episode. Ready to hear about alignment - and how our mind, body, and energy sometimes don't play nicely together?

Welcome to our first astrology-focused episode on That Projector Life! I'm working on finding my flow and figuring out how to work astrology into the mix. And that all begins with this episode. This kicks off our foundation building time in astrology. We'll cover the astrological basics in the next few episodes. So if you're familiar with astrology, this will likely be a review (but reviews tend to lead to new realizations, I've found). And if you're new to astrology, we're starting with an explanation of each of the planets and what they rule (and how they impact us). So strap in as we walk through each of the planets in our natal charts and lay that foundation of understanding. For my astrological knowledge, I'm using a mix of resources, which I've listed below: Cafe Astrology Astrodienst (great for natal charts) Time Nomad (great phone app for astrology) (Book) - Astrology for the Light Side of the Brain by Kim Rogers-Gallagher (Book) - Stephen Arroyo's Chart Interpretation Handbook   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl125/ Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

This episode really revolves around the old nature vs nurture debate, but we're looking at it from an astrological and energetic standpoint. We're bringing together astrology and Human Design to talk about how our mindsets impact our chart interpretation.  We'll talk about my idea of inherent chart neutrality - the idea that an astrological or Human Design chart is neither good nor bad. We'll also talk about how we react to difficult or challenging energies and how that can impact our charts.  This is all about bringing more awareness to our mindset when we sit down with our charts - because our mindset is going to impact how we view the information and the energy in our chart. We can choose to use our charts as tools to help us grow, or as an excuse (or a cushion). And our mindset is one of our biggest factors when looking at charts.   Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here. Join the That Projector Life Facebook Group here.

In this episode, we're talking all things launching as a Projector. More specifically, I'll walk you through the process that I like to use for launches and that I recommend as a framework for Projectors. The ultimate goal of this launch process is to give you more time to plan things out, create content, and rest (yes REST) during your launch.  It's here to make launching less stressful, because launching doesn't have to be (and really shouldn't be) a super stressful thing that consumes all your energy. It's entirely possible to enjoy your launch as a Projector. I'll break this launch process into four phases and walk you through each phase and what happens in it.  Hopefully this episode will inspire you to reflect on your own launch strategy and where it needs some tweaks to be more in alignment with your Projector energy.    Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

We're finally exploring self-projected authority! To all my SPPs (self-projected Projectors) out there, I apologize that this episode has taken so long. We'll dive into the mechanics of self-projected authority and talk about where it originates, how you get self-projected authority, and how to work with it. (Yes, talking it out is really helpful, but that's not all there is to it. We'll get into the nuances in this episode). I'll be drawing on my own personal experience as an SPP and share my journey working with this authority. Interestingly, this authority sounds like one of the simpler ones out there, and once you really understand it, it's fun to work with. But it's the getting there that takes time and practice. Hopefully this episode will support you on your journey towards understanding and working with your self-projected authority.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

In this episode, we're taking a look at the three gates of aloneness in Human Design. As their grouping suggests, these gates deal with being alone - and potentially even feeling lonely sometimes. However, when we dive into each specific gate, we'll see that their need for alone time is driven by different things. It's also important to note that none of these gates of aloneness require constant alone time. Each of these gates needs to interact with others occasionally to share what's come up for it, or to simply share the fruits of its labor. Ready to learn more about the gates of aloneness?

It's been a while since I've created a podcast episode and hung out with y'all. In the month that I've been gone, I've done a few different things, but mostly I rested.  And while I rested, I reflected on my business, my life, and my energy. I also spent some time diving into a new subject that I believe may make its way into my business in the future.  In this episode, I'll talk candidly about what caused my hiatus (it was a two-fold thing) and what I've discovered about the Human Design system, my place in it, and my approach to it since I've been gone.  I'll also open up about what's next for my business and how I'm changing it to bring more alignment and joy back into it.   Join the That Projector Life Membership!

Shelby Melissa is back on the podcast, and this time, we're talking about work, worth, and money. This is a topic that everyone struggles with, but Projectors especially tend to struggle a bit more because of our energy and our strategy.  So how do you begin to untangle your worth from your work and from money? Shelby offers us a great method for taking stock of our beliefs and thoughts and then organizing them into their proper boxes.  It's also important to understand that this isn't an overnight thing. This untangling is a lifelong journey - one that we're all on together.  Want to connect with Shelby? Check out her links below.

Join my Projector guest + spiritual mentor and consciousness expansion coach Eva Liao in this episode of That Projector Life. Eva and I talk about the self-development hamster wheel (plus the business + life hamster wheel, cuz that's a thing) and how to navigate it as a Projector. Eva has some amazing insights into being a Projector and her journey so far - we talk about how she started as a Projector and where she is now.  We also talk about Projectors' roles in the evolution of humanity and how our energy works differently. There's also some discussion about working with the intangible and honoring that in your marketing.  Ready to dive into Eva's wisdom? Listen to the episode! Want to connect with Eva?

Have you noticed that people seem to say, "You never listen!" to you on a regular basis? Or have you noticed that people will speak to you and you completely miss what they're saying and have to ask them to repeat themselves? It's possible that you have a gate of deafness (or the entire channel) defined in your chart. In this episode, we're talking about the three Gates of Deafness in Human Design. We'll cover what these 3 gates (and their channels) have in common and how they impact your design. Listen in to learn more about these unique gates, why they work the way they do, and how you can work with them.    For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl117/ Join the That Projector Life Membership!

This episode takes a deep dive into the Willpower Center. We'll talk through the gates and channels in this center (all four of them), and while we do, we'll touch on the Tribal role and energy that each gate has.  It's important to note that the Willpower is all about the Tribe. It works to ensure the Tribe has what it needs to survive, thrive, and flourish. Without the Willpower's drive and ego to survive, the Tribe (and our society as a whole) wouldn't exist.  From The Gate of Shock to the Gate of Aloneness, the Willpower makes its presence known in the Tribe through its dedication, ego, and will to provide for those it loves. Let's take a look at this power motor to find out what makes it tick.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

In this episode, we explore the center for love, identity, and direction in Human Design - the G Center (also known as the Identity Center). We'll dive into each of the 8 gates and channels connected to this center and talk about how they influence us, our design, and humanity as a whole. If you want more general background info on the Identity Center, check out episode 58 - it covers the basics of the center and what it means if you have it defined vs undefined. This episode will focus on the more detailed aspect of this center, so if you're unsure about things, listen to episode 58.   I would love to support you as you discover your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

We're diving into the Solar Plexus today and talking about emotional energy and how you channel it. This episode is going to specifically focus on the gates and channels present in the Solar Plexus, so pull up your Bodygraph and dive in! We'll look at each gate and channel and how that energy impact you and people around you. (It also can give you a clue as to how you interact with emotional energy if your Solar Plexus is undefined.)  We will also talk through each of the three types of emotional waves, but if you want more info on those waves (and only those waves), head to episode 40. That's where we talk about the Solar Plexus in general and dive into the wave types.  Ready to learn more about emotional energy and how it impacts you?

In this episode, we're diving into the gates and channels of the Root Center. We'll talk about each gate and channel in-depth and how Root Center pressure likely shows up in your life. Remember, this center is both a motor center and a pressure center, meaning if you have it defined, you'll likely feel this pressure fairly regularly.  If you have the Root Center undefined, look at which gates you have activated in the center and listen to the description of them. That will give you an insight into how you can release Root Center pressure when you come into contact with it.  If you've been experiencing a lot of Root Center pressure lately, tune into this episode to learn how you can relieve that pressure based on the gates or channels you have activated in your Root Center. Remember, you don't always have to act on Root Center pressure. You can simply ignore it and allow it to pass. Learning how to be comfortable with the pressure is almost a must for Projectors with a defined Root Center.  Want more info on the Root Center?

We're doing something a little different in this episode. My guest Amber Brauner is talking all about the menstrual cycle and how women can learn to work with it.  Amber runs us through the basic changes that happen throughout the menstrual cycle, and she touches on how that impacts our energy. (She also covers the different tasks we're more inclined to tackle during each phase.)  Listen in to learn how you can begin working with your menstrual cycle as a Projector. (And remember that everyone's experience with their cycle is different. Always experiment and do what feels best for your body and your energy.) And guys, you can listen in to learn how you can support women during the different parts of their cycle (or just learn more about how women's bodies work).   All the links Check out Amber's website.

This episode is all about the two big limitations that Projectors face and how we can work with them.  We'll talk about the limitations (hint: one is our strategy, the other is our lack of sacral energy). But we'll also talk about how to view those limitations. I'll encourage you to examine your view of these limitations and why you view them the way you do.  After that, we'll talk through how Projectors can work with these limitations to do what they want to do.  I'll warn you now: This episode is going deep. I recorded from an entirely different energy than I normally do. Hopefully, it will help you better understand being a Projector and the fact that our energy does limit us, but not in the way you would think.   Shownotes Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.

We're diving into each of the 5 types of Human Design centers in this episode and talking a bit more about how they connect with and influence each other.  You may already be familiar with the 5 types of centers (manifestation, motor, awareness, pressure, and identity), but do you know how they impact you and your design? We'll talk about each type of center, the specific centers within that category, and how they work.  While this won't be a deep dive into any specific centers, this episode can help lay the foundation for that.

Welcome back to That Projector Life! It's been a few weeks since a new episode, and I wanted to kick things off again by diving into the Projector's gifts.  We'll talk about the gifts that are unique to Projectors thanks to our energy and then show how you can use those gifts in your life.  But I also want to be clear that if you don't resonate with those gifts, it's ok! That doesn't mean you're a "bad" Projector.  I do encourage everyone to observe these gifts or interactions in your life and see what happens for you. You can always experiment to see what fits you and feels best and what doesn't.    For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl109/ Join the That Projector Life Membership!

This episode dives into a variety of Human Design and Projector-focused topics to help you get familiar with your own design and how you were conditioned as a child. Human Design Coach Victoria Jane shares her experiences as a Projector learning to navigate with her splenic authority and undefined G Center. We explore the difference between the defined and undefined G Centers, comparing our experiences and observations. Victoria also discusses the difference between the Magnetic Monopole and the G Center and how that's impacted her. And because she's a Splenic Projector, I ask her to talk about her splenic authority and how she's learned to work with it.  Love listening to Victoria's wisdom?

We're diving into a very requested topic in this episode: sales pages from a Projector's viewpoint.  We'll kick off the episode by walking through some mental and energetic shifts you may need to make before you even start writing the page. Then we'll shift into the general outline of a sales page.  After that, we'll focus on specific tips for Projectors (though honestly, the entire episode is from a Projector perspective...).  Essentially, this episode is going to help you figure out how to write a sales page as a Human Design Projector.

Join me and my Projector guest, Lauren Torres, as we take a deep dive into Motivation. Lauren does a beautiful job of adding onto the information we covered in Episode 100. She takes everything a step further, really digging into how our motivation impacts our lives. Lauren also connects our Motivation colors to our profile lines, explaining how the Motivation both influences and then is influenced by the profile. We talk about both my Motivation and hers, and how we know when we're in transference.

In this episode, I'm diving into how to market your business as a Projector. This is a topic I covered in the Projector Business Challenge, and now it's getting some airtime on the show. There are so many ways to market your business - so many strategies, approaches, and things to consider. I'm breaking down some of the big things I recommend Projectors take into consideration when marketing or promoting their business. Here's the thing: Marketing really comes down to your energy, how you feel, and how you connect with your audience. Because it's really about connection. And Projectors excel at that. So listen in as I share my thoughts, experiences, and tips for marketing as a Projector (and feeling great about it).   Ready to blend business strategy with your Projector energy?

Join my Projector guest, Darryl Stewart, and me as we talk about some key success habits of Projectors. Our conversation covers all things Projector, and Darryl brings his wisdom to our conversation in true Projector fashion. We even do some surprise work together as he helps me accept - not deflect - a compliment (because that tends to be something Projectors struggle with). We also talk about how Projectors can overcome being afraid of being seen, bottling up their emotions, and not owning their genius.

In this episode, we're looking at how to create a business plan as a Projector. A business plan provides structure - but it shouldn't feel like it's walling you in. It's more of a fluid structure that flows with your energy. We'll walk through the major sections of a business plan (business foundation, offers, marketing, and finances) and talk about how to address each of them with your unique Projector energy. Note that this business plan is by no means exhaustive - there are areas that I haven't covered in this episode, but what we do talk about will help you get some clarity as well as put your business down on paper.   Interested in joining the Projector Business Challenge?

In today's episode, we're diving into a topic that isn't widely discussed: Your business's Human Design type! Just like us, businesses have their own energy and their own Human Design type and strategy. Learning + connecting with your business's unique HD can help you understand it better.  Plus, you'll likely receive some insights as to why you act or feel the way you do when you're in your business's energy. However, as I stress many times throughout the episode, your Human Design type and strategy always come first. Your business's energy is there to add clarification and support to your own.  Ready to dive into your business's Human Design and learn what it means to work with your business's energy? Listen in! (Also: If this feels overwhelming, don't worry about focusing on your business's HD yet.

Join my Projector guest Michelle Lopez Boggs as we talk about all things business. We touch on so many important topics for Projectors, like delving into your true self and working to bring that energy into your business, recognizing your own value (while also simply recognizing yourself). Michelle asks some great questions that you can use as a mini business exercise to help you determine where you can add value to someone's business or life. We also talk about how to feel your best as a Projector and what you can do to ensure that you're creating holistic marketing content.

We're tackling the third Human Design variable in this episode. This time, it's all about the bottom right arrow - a.k.a. the perspective.  Your perspective in Human Design is essentially what you're here to see. We'll go through each of the 6 perspectives and talk about what each of them means for you. We'll also touch on your distraction or transferred view (this is what you see when you're not in alignment).  Ready to find out what you're really here to see? Remember, your perspective is built on your environment and your PHS. If you're not nourishing your body and brain correctly, and if you're not in the right environment, you're likely going to have a more difficult time seeing what you're supposed to.    Get the Understand Your Variables video series (it’s free).

Join me and my awesome Projector guest Melina Charis as we talk all things toxic productivity. This is a huge topic for Projectors - the need/pressure/push to be productive. And without a Sacral center to give us consistent energy, we struggle to keep up with the rest of the world.   Melina shares her story with us and how she found a way to actually enjoy her business instead of being tied down with all her to-dos. We touch on topics like the cyclical nature of the world (and our bodies), how toxic productivity manifests itself physically, and how you can begin putting an end to toxic productivity in your own business.   This conversation with Melina was wonderful, and there were so many gems of wisdom in it, so join us!   Connect with Melina on Instagram.    Visit Melina's website.    Listen to Own Your Magic, Melina's podcast!   Grab Melina's free trust activation meditation!     For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl098/   Get the Understand Your Variables video series (it’s free).  

Welcome to Part 3 of our Variable Series. We're looking at the bottom left arrow in your Bodygraph, which is all about environment.  In Human Design, the environment plays a very important role. Being in the correct environment removes resistance (a.k.a. it can make it easier for you to receive invitations), and the correct environment can nourish you better than an incorrect one.  But how do you find out what your environment it and what it means? And how can you create - say a mountain environment - when you live in the middle of Kansas (or any other flat place). We'll talk about all of that and more in this episode.    Find your specific variables at Genetic Matrix. Get the Understand Your Variables video series (it’s free).

This episode continues our journey through the Human Design variables. First, we're looking at the top left arrow (which holds the info for Human Design's Primary Health System).  We'll talk about how to find your color (which pairs with determination) and tone (which pairs with cognition) and how they impact your life.  The Primary Health System is all about nourishing your brain and helping you create a solid foundation for your body so that you can continue moving through each of the variables (the transformations) and achieve full alignment.  And yes, this has to do with digestion and how you digest food as well as information. Ready to learn how you can best nourish your mind and body? Remember, the PHS in Human Design is less about WHAT you eat and more about how you consume food. (And yes, that still holds true even for the people who have more specific + rigid regimens in Human Design.)  Also, if you're feeling confused about any of this (because it's a complicated topic), there are graphics to help break things down on the blog post at the That Projector Guide site.

We're diving into a topic that's long been requested for the podcast: variables! This episode is a big-picture overview of what variables are. We'll focus on the arrows themselves and whether they face left or right. (Yes, there are more layers to dive into - and we'll do that in the next few episodes). for now, we're building our information foundation so that we don't drown when we move into the deeper water.  We'll go through each arrow, talk about what it means for us and what the implications are if it's left-facing or right-facing. I'll also tie everything together at the end and explain why it's important to start with the top left arrow and work your way around.  At the very end of the episode, we'll venture into the substructure of the gates (which will come up again in the next few episodes).

Human Design has a lot of uses, especially when it comes to looking at group dynamics and helping us figure out who may be the best person for a particular job. That being said, make sure not to discount people because their Human Design isn't exactly what you wanted. We're more than our design - and you may find that a Generator is just as crazy about systems and efficiency as any Projector.  This episode is diving into how you can hire aligned people using Human Design as a guide. We'll cover the 5 types and what each of their strengths are and where they'd do well in an organization or business. Then we'll move into a more detailed look and give you some extra factors to consider.  Let's talk about Human Design, teamwork, and group dynamics!   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl094/ Want to change the way you approach + attract invitations?

We're wrapping up our dive into the Human Design profiles be talking about the last 4 profiles - all left angles - a.k.a. transpersonal destiny. Ready to learn about these outward-facing profiles and how they each approach and view the world? We'll talk about the 5/1, 5/2, 6/2, and 6/3 profiles. The timestamps included below are to give you a rough idea of where in the episode I start talking about each profile.

We're continuing our journey through the Human Design profiles by wrapping up the right angle (a.k.a. Personal Destiny) profiles and moving into the only Juxtaposed profile. This episode will explore the right-angle 3/5, 3/6, and 4/6 profiles and then finish with the Juxtaposed 4/1 profile. We'll explore how each profile works, how they approach the world, and what they need to be supported. Remember, your profile is your "costume". It's how you live out your incarnation cross - or your life theme. The timestamps for each profile are below. They may not be exact, but I start talking about each profile around the time listed below. 5 minutes - 3/5 profile 13 minutes - 3/6 profile 20:30 minutes - 4/6 profile 28:50 minutes - 4/1 profile   Want to change the way you approach + attract invitations?

In this episode, we're finally taking a deep dive into the 12 Human Design Profiles. This part covers four of the Right Angle Profiles (1/3, 1/4, 2/4, and 2/5 specifically). We'll talk through each profile and how it functions best in the world. Then we'll talk briefly about how people around each profile (including parents) can offer their support. The time-stamps for each profile are listed below, but I highly recommend listening to the entire episode. It will likely shed light not only on you but others in your life!

In this episode, we're talking more about the energetics side of things. It's a departure from our normal cut-and-dry factual episodes, as I walk you through three reasons why it's important for Projectors to work with energy. I also share some of my journey and how I got started working with energy and where I'm going with it now. And honestly, you're already working with energy in one way or another. This time especially is a great chance to begin working with it more intentionally and consciously.   Learn more about the group course Discover Your Projector Magic Interested in the self-study?

In this episode, I'm chatting with Pilar Lesko about all things Projector life and Human Design. Pilar has some amazing insights about the role of Projectors in the collective, and she offers great advice for Splenic Projectors struggling to connect with their authority. (Pilar has a Splenic authority!). But her suggestions are applicable to everyone, and I found tons of ways to apply her advice to my life. Pilar also shares about her time running a business as a Projector and how she relates to her business. We talked about planning and how it's a bit more nuanced than either "Plan" or "Don't plan". I thoroughly enjoyed recording this episode with Pilar, and I'm so excited to share her wisdom with you.   Connect With Pilar Here Website Instagram The Projector's Guide to Thriving Projector Magic   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl089/ Discover Your Projector Magic Group Program Discover Your Projector Magic Self-Study

I'm getting personal and reflective in this episode, as I recount my journey with Human Design. We kick things off in my most difficult time in life - the 2014-2017 years. I walk you through what my life was like and how I was so completely out of alignment in my online business. I cover my mental state and my mindset, how I was essentially living from my open spleen, open root, and open sacral during that time. And then came the inevitable crash that sent me to the ER in 2016. Along the way, there were signs that what I was doing wasn't working - but I pushed past them because I didn't know how to handle them. After all, I was doing exactly what the online business world said I needed to do to be successful. And you can imagine how that went for me. Fortunately, I was introduced to Human Design at the end of 2017, but I didn't pay much attention to it until May 2018 (yeah - I'm facepalming over here). But once I did, things took off and I started to finally understand and realize what I had done wrong over the past few years. Hindsight is 20/20. I also realized that even though my time living an unaligned life was painful, difficult, and frustrating, that helped shape me into who I am today - and I learned so much from that time. It's helped me be more empathetic towards people who are struggling - because I know what it's like. Join me in this episode to get my most detailed "origin story" yet - seriously. I looked up my receipts for this thing.   Want to change the way you approach + attract invitations? Enroll in Attract Epic Invitations here.

In this episode, we're talking all about how you can find your purpose - both in theory and in practice. Everyone wants to know about their Incarnation Cross (a.k.a. their life purpose). But what does it really mean to live out that purpose? Is it something that just falls into your lap? Is it something you stumble into? How do you live out that purpose? Those are the questions we're answering in this episode. I'll help break down the process of living out your purpose with some simple steps and suggestions that you can use on your journey. But remember - ultimately this is all an experiment and you should do what feels most aligned with you.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl087/ Make your own Human Design chart here: https://www.mybodygraph.com/ Join the free Projector Facebook group!

Parenting isn't easy, but we can make it at least a little easier by parenting our kids according to their Human Design type. In this episode, I'm breaking down each of the 4 Human Design types and talking about what each type needs as kids. Because Manifestor kids work differently than Generator kids, and Generator kids work differently than Projector kids, etc. So it only makes sense that we adjust our parenting strategies to our kids' specific type, energy, and needs. Are you ready to throw out everything you know about parenting? (Ok, so we're not getting THAT drastic, but some of what we cover - especially in regards to Manifestors and Projectors - challenges the current parenting paradigm.) Listen in for strategies and tips on how to parent your kids according to their Human Design type. And as always, make sure you're listening to your authority when it comes to what's right for you and your family.   Want to change the way you approach + attract invitations?

Join my Projector guest and intuitive coach Kristin Quattlebaum and me as we dive into Projectors, Corporate America, and emotions. Before she became an intuitive coach, Kristin spent 15 years hustling in the corporate world. In our chat, she opens up about what that was like, and she shares some wisdom for Projectors who are currently working in a corporation. Kristin also shares her knowledge, insights, and experience when it comes to her emotional authority and how she's learned to connect with it AND her intuition.

This episode is all about sustaining your energy after you receive the invitation. But, first we have to talk about what it means to "sustain" your energy. Because - to quote Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means." Or something like that. We'll talk about what it means for a Projector to sustain their energy and the important difference between a Generator and a Projector when it comes to sustaining energy. Then we'll head into 6 different strategies for sustaining and maintaining your energy after you receive the invitation. Some of them may be no brainers - like working when it feels good and resting when you need to - but others may be new to you. I do talk a bit about project management here, where you take a big picture and break it down into smaller, more manageable tasks. And let's not forget that invitations and projects have energy of their own, and if you're not keeping tabs on that, you may find it more difficult to maintain your energy while you're working on them.

This episode is by request, and it's going to dive into a topic we haven't talked very much about on this show: How the astrological energy for now impacts you. I'll dive into the Human Design Chart for Now (a.k.a. Just Now Chart) and talk about why you need to know the energy of the chart plus how it impacts you. We'll also cover where you can create one so you can get started working with the energy of now. I'll also run through the Just Now Chart for Mon, Aug 24, 2020 at 10:19 am US Central time. And even though that date is now in the past, tune in to hear how this chart can impact you - and think back to your energy on Monday. This is all about deepening your awareness of the energy around you so you can be aware of the factors at play and understand why you may be feeling pulled towards not-self behaviors or actions.   Create your own Just Now chart at Jovian Archive.

We're opening up a big can of worms in this episode. In addition to talking about the idea of productivity and what it means to be productive, I'm also answering the question "Can Projectors be lazy?".  We all know that I've pushed for a new definition for the term "productive" before, but this takes that to a whole new level, because we're incorporating the idea of "lazy" into things now.  Join me in this episode as I break down my issues with productivity, encourage you to define productivity for yourself, and then finally address the issue of Projectors and laziness.    For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl081/ Want to change the way you approach + attract invitations?

Our That Projector Life episode this week is all about the head center. It’s one that the majority (about 70%) of the population has undefined, which creates for some interesting dynamics when those who do have their head center defined are around. The head center is one of the two pressure centers in Human Design (the other being the root center). So it’s no surprise that our head center can become a source of tension and anxiety for many of us - and potentially one that we’re unaware of. So we’re taking a deep dive into the head center this week and talking about its function, how its energy works, and the three types of mental pressure that exist in it. We also go into the three channels that connect the head center to the ajna and talk about how those “flavor” your mental processes (if you have them). Also - to my mental Projector friends (or those of you with defined head centers) - feeling confused, overwhelmed with ideas, and just generally lost? It’s all part of your process, believe it or not. I realize that may not be comforting, but there it is. That confusion will resolve itself in its own time - or not - whichever is right for you.

The Projector strategy is "wait for the invitation." That's easier said than done, especially in a world that doesn't wait.  But it IS possible for Projectors to wait, regardless of what the rest of the world does. And that's what we're talking about in this episode. We're finally diving into HOW Projectors can wait.  We'll walk through the differences between initiating and being invited, and we'll discuss three things Projectors can do while they wait.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

We're getting back to Human Design 101 with this episode. And I can't believe it's taken me soooooo long to get to the subject of Definition. But, here we are, and I have a ton of great information for you. And some of that info will likely change how you're deconditioning! The term "definition" in Human Design has to do with your defined centers and how they're connected...or not. So in this episode, we'll talk through what definition is, how you can tell which type of definition you have, and how that energy affects your design. You'll receive a lot of eye-opening info that has the potential to give you a new avenue to focus on for deconditioning. So if you've been deconditioning your hardest, but things still feel off, listen in to this episode. It's possible your definition has something to do with it.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

Projectors are experts when it comes to borrowing energy, even if we don’t realize it. Our penetrating aura makes it easy for us to energetically connect with and borrow from other people. In general, there are two ways we do this - through invitations and through being in someone’s aura. In this episode, we'll talk about borrowing energy both formally and informally as well as the challenges that come with energy borrowing.

This week’s That Projector Life podcast episode features Reiki Master Shelby Melissa! Shelby is back on the show, and she and I chat through a lot of issues facing the collective now - stress, anxiety, overwhelm...and how to handle it. Shelby pulls from her amazing Facebook Live series Creating Impact in Turbulent Times as she walks us through how we can care for ourselves during this chaotic and stressful time so that we can, in turn, create the positive impact we desire to see. Join us as we hang out, riff on the system, and what to do when you’re feeling too overwhelmed to do any of the “de-stressing” techniques she offers. (Because honestly...sometimes it just feels easier to stay overwhelmed than it does to do EFT or meditate. - Shelby has a great suggestion for what to do if you’re in this boat.) Also, Shelby offers us all an invitation to do nothing, rest, and be Projectors (something I definitely needed when we were chatting).

We all know that working with our energy is amazing and makes everything magical. Horses become unicorns. Clouds become calorie-free marshmallows, and the ugly brown water of the Gulf of Mexico becomes a beautiful, crystal-clear blue. And we also know that working against our energy makes life difficult and frustrating. But I don’t many of us have really taken the time to compare and contrast (or maybe just contrast) the times we worked against our energy with the times we worked with our energy. Well...the good news is I’m doing it for you in this week’s That Projector Life podcast episode! I’m walking you through one time I didn’t work with my energy (because it’s a doozy of an example and I’m going to milk it for all it’s worth) and two times that I worked with my energy (once unknowingly and once knowingly). And we’ll talk about the differences and how all of this applies to your life. Ready to dive in and look at the differences between a projector working against her energy and then with her energy?

Like many of y’all, I’ve been home with my family all day, every day while we weather the COVID-19 storm. I want to say upfront that I don’t have THE answer or solution - you know, the one that will make everything feel normal again even though everyone is home together. (Because...well...things aren’t normal right now.) But I do have a few tips, strategies, and suggestions to help you survive and thrive during self-isolation. In today’s podcast episode, I’m covering three different types of self-isolation: With kids, without kids but with other adults, and then true self-isolation where you’re by yourself. Above all else, remember to stay aligned with your energy. I know this can be hard to do, especially when things are so uncertain. But in times like these, the world and your friends and family, need an aligned Projector who can guide them and reassure them. We’re natural guides. We can see things other people can’t. Use that energy to offer peace and hope to your loved ones. Yes, they can be exhausting. But they need your Projector energy.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl064/   Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

In light of the current state of global affairs, I figure it's time to talk about the Splenic Center. This center is all about fear, survival, and the lightheartedness associated with living.  We're taking a deep dive into this center to look at how it affects us, the energy that exits there, and the 7 primal fears we face. We'll also cover the differences between a defined and undefined spleen and their energy dynamics.  Ready to understand your spleen and use it to help you get through this difficult time?

In this episode, we're talking about something that many of us THINK we have (and wish we had)...but that we actually don’t. If you said willpower, you’re right. Willpower - found in the willpower (or heart) center - is the foundation of society and civilization. Here exists the will to survive and thrive. (Side note: Has anyone else followed a scary story and been like “I think if I were in that story I just would’ve given up and let the creature kill me?” No? Just me?) Here also exists self-esteem and our ego. And this is where things get interesting. The majority of us don’t have a defined willpower center - which means we don’t have consistent access to willpower energy. It also means we feel pressure to prove ourselves...which we will almost always struggle to do because of our undefined will. So, how can we handle this pressure to prove ourselves? And what does it really mean if we have an undefined will center? I’m answering those questions in this week’s episode by exploring the willpower center and how it impacts our self-esteem.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl062/   Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

Bitter Projectors are almost like a different species of Projector. You think you’re approaching a warm, inviting aura...and then BAM you find yourself in the middle of a harsh blizzard. It’s cold. It’s hostile. And it’s draining. And that, dear friends, is one way to identify a bitter Projector. Energetically, they feel like manifestors. Or at least, they feel extra repelling - it’s almost like you can feel the bitterness and negative vibes coming off them like waves. So if you pick up on that, you have a bitter Projector on your hands. But how do you talk to them? And how else can you identify a bitter Projector?

It's time to talk about something that we all have experienced throughout our lives, though we probably didn't realize it at the time.

Human 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 Human Design enthusiast and a Human Design skeptic to co-exist, let alone live peacefully together?! The answer, of course, is yes. And this episode of That Projector Life will walk you through how to talk to your skeptic - not necessarily to convince them that Human Design works - but to show them that what you're doing works for them. It's more about getting your skeptic to support you even if they don't understand or believe in Human Design (because it's totally possible). Also, I'm offering myself and my husband up as Exhibit A for a Human Design enthusiast living with a skeptic. So I'll be talking about my experiences living with a skeptic.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

We'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 to the conditioning and energies of others. So we'll talk about how to rediscover your true self and my experiences with that. If you have an undefined G center, we'll talk about that, too! Because you still have an in-built sense of direction. It just works a little differently.   Ready to learn the basics of your energy, how to wait, + how to avoid bitterness?

Wondering how Human Design dynamics play out in relationships? 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 drawbacks to each relationship and talk about how you can get over those rough patches.    Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

When 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 the pressure + motor center at the bottom of the BodyGraph - the root center. This little sucker is usually the source of a lot of pain, pressure, stress, and anxiety because many of us don't know how to manage stress well - and because we also are feeling stress that isn't even ours. Let that sink in. If you have an undefined root center, you're feeling stress and pressure that may not be yours. And you don't need to process or hold onto other people's stress. You need to release it. And we'll talk about that in this episode.   We'll cover - What the root center is - The energy present in the center and how it isn't all bad...or all good - The 2 ways of dealing with root center pressure - Tips for living with an undefined root center   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl056/

This 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 stressful and frustrating because...plans change. And if you go all out and try to be super detailed (like I used to be), then it’s easy to spend hours planning out your year or your month, only to have your plans thrown out the window shortly afterward. ⁠ (This is why I want you to listen to the goal-setting episode first. Because if you’re laying plans towards unaligned goals, things likely aren’t going to go all that well.) The good news is that planning doesn’t have to be stressful. In fact, I think I made it pretty easy to plan out your year (roughly). When I got done recording this episode, I thought, “I should make a yearly plan for my creative writing.” ⁠ So, roll up your sleeves, pull your calendars out, and start making plans to work towards your goals as a Projector!   Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

That 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 goals as a projector - My intentions for all projectors in 2020   Resources - Here's the link to the Two-Pointing video I talked about.  - Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

As 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 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 and what you're here to do.

Wondering how to create spaces that support your Projector energy? I'm chatting with artist and designer Kelli Tompkins about how we can use Fung Shui to do just that. Kelli offers some great tips for designing spaces that allow us to unplug, rest, and relax in a way that aligns with our unique energetic profile. (And she doesn't just stop at Human Design. Kelli uses astrology as well.) She also shares pieces of her Projector journey and the shifts she made along the way to live a more aligned Projector life.   Want to connect with Kelli?

We're getting closer to that time of year - when we travel across land and sea to be with the ones we love most. (And ironically, they're usually the ones that most make us want to pull our hair out.)  And on top of typical family social dynamics, you'll have another factor to consider during your social gatherings: the energetic dynamics. That's where Human Design comes in. In this episode, we're talking about how to survive those energetic dynamics this holiday season, so you can focus more on quality time with your family instead of internalizing all the energy you're picking up that's not yours. We'll cover several different strategies you can use to clear and protect your energy before you enter social situations. Then we'll focus on how you can become an observer during social events.

The 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 solar plexus and talking all about the different types of emotional waves, how they function, and how you can navigate them.  We'll also talk about having an undefined solar plexus and how to handle the emotional energy all around you.    Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

Projectors 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. Each dynamic brings its own challenges and strategies for navigating it successfully. And we'll talk about them in this episode. Wondering how to handle your relationships as a projector?

There's a lot of talk about "conditioning" and "deconditioning" in the Human Design world. And we're diving into what those terms even mean and how you can start your deconditioning journey.  We'll walk through how you're conditioned as a projector and how that impacts your life and your design. Then we'll talk about your sacral center and how to release all of that conditioning and take steps to decondition yourself. Want to start seeing, working with, and appreciating your true energy?

It's time to talk about the elephant in the room: money and how Human Design Projectors make it...or don't.  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.) Spoiler alert: This episode doesn't offer easy answers, nor does it tell you to go out and make stuff happen. But it does offer you the strategies you need to make money in an aligned way.    Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

Human 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? I mean, success IS our signature, after all. Those are the big questions we're talking about in this episode. Because once you receive the invitation, you don't just ride into the sunset.

It's time to talk about invitations again! We all know that invitations are super important to Human Design Projectors, and that as we continue our journey towards living as projectors they'll come up more and more. However, as I've learned more about being a projector and how our energy works, I've discovered even more about invitations that desperately needs to be shared with you. So that's what I'm doing in this back-to-basics +deep-dive episode. I'll recap what I talked about in the first invitations episode (Episode 5. Yeah it's been a while) and then I'll expand on it and bring in the new things I've learned. It's time to really de-mystify the whole invitation thing. Because it's crucial to being a projector, so we need to wholly understand this process.   We'll cover - Invitation basics - The energy exchange behind invitations - Do invitations expire?   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl044/

We 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 means for Projectors. You're also in for a little history lesson with this episode! We'll dive into the history of Projectors and talk through the three different types and how they differ from each other.   We'll cover - What recognition is - Why Projectors need recognition - The 3 types of Projectors + how they're different

Being 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 hard to release, especially if you continue doing things that don't work with your energy. So how do you release bitterness once it sets in? That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? I'm not sure if I have the million-dollar answer. But I do have a few answers, and you can have them for free in this episode.   We'll cover - Potential triggers for bitterness - Steps and activities you can take to release your bitterness   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl042/

It'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, and how much we're willing to give. However, if our boundaries are non-existent (or if we're not very good at enforcing them, or if they're too lenient) it's easy to get burned out. Setting boundaries is a great way to help protect your limited sacral energy and ensure that you have enough energy for yourself. It's also a great way to ensure that you have a way to recover and wind down after a long day at work (boundaries for rest time? Yeah. That's happening.) We'll talk through how to set and maintain boundaries in several different situations - work, personal life, and home life.   Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

It's time to talk about how to grow your platform in a way that's aligned with your projector energy! And that's what the fourth and final episode in our Be The Lighthouse series is all about! We've been working up to this moment ever since the first episode in the series. We started with creating a solid platform foundation. Then we moved on to how to brainstorm and create great content. Next came actually sharing that content. And now we've come full circle and are talking about actually growing your entire platform. And the best part of this is that you won't hear any strategies that aren't aligned with projector energy! YAAAAY! Some of these strategies may not resonate with you, and that's ok. If you try one and you don't like it, see if you can make some tweaks that are more aligned with you.

The 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 audience and create a platform that thrives. So in this episode, we're covering the basics of creating a content strategy. What's a content strategy? It's a fancy word for a content plan - which is something that lets you know what content you're sharing where, when, and why. It doesn't take long to create a content strategy, and I'll walk you through that in this episode. But you're not creating just ANY content strategy. Nope, nope nope. You're creating one that works for a Human Design Projector. Because it's crucial that you work WITH your energy at every point in this process, including when it comes to sharing your content.   Get the content strategy doc I mention in this episode with the Projectors in Business Bundle.

Our second installment of the #BeTheLighthouse series is all about brainstorming and creating great content. Because, as the marketing saying goes, content is king. Well...it's at least a BIG part of your platform. Building a super solid platform doesn't matter if you content is less than stellar, right? Right! So this episode of That Projector Life will walk you through two of my favorite ways to brainstorm content for platforms - both online and offline. People seem to really fear brainstorming content, but it's really not that bad. (And I've even created a resource in the Projectors in Business Bundle to help with that!) Once you have a handle on how to brainstorm content, we'll talk about how to actually organize and present the content to your audience so it creates an enjoyable experience.   Looking for the Projectors in Business Bundle?

Welcome to the first episode in our Be the Lighthouse Series! This series is focused on supporting and guiding projectors so you can create and maintain an online (or offline) platform.  I'm combining my business experiences (and yes, failures), my Human Design knowledge, and content marketing strategy to create a resource designed specifically for projectors.  This episode lays the foundation for our series and for your platform. I'll walk you through some very important questions that you need to consider before you start your platform. These focus on things like audience, where you fit in the market, and more.  So if you've wanted to start an online platform, or if you're wondering how to put a little extra umph into the platform you have, this episode is for you.   Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

Ever 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 work. This will work better." However, Projectors aren't Manifestors, so we're not supposed to only inform the people we guide. And it sounds simple and doable - don't boss around the people you're here to lead. But when you're in the trenches and you can so clearly see what the other person is supposed to do that it can be really hard to follow that guideline. So this episode is going into leading - successfully - as a Human Design Projector.   We'll cover - How not to lead as a Projector (we're all guilty of this) - How you should lead as a Projector - How you can harness your energy to support those around you   Resources - Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

We 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 cover some survival strategies that every Projector should know. (This is by no means an exhaustive list. If you have strategies you use that I didn't cover here, I'd love to hear them!)   Some of the strategies we'll cover include - The importance of having a Projector BFF - Gloating (Yes, really. But with caveats.) - Setting (and KEEPING) boundaries   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl035/

Many 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.) Understanding which planet you have in which gate (or gates) can tell you a lot about yourself. For example, in Human Design, the moon is all about what drives or motivates you. My conscious moon is in Gate 54, the Gate of Drive. So what drives and motivates me on a conscious level is advancement in the world - which is some of the energy in Gate 54.   We'll cover - The reason for the personality + design planets - What each planet means in Human Design - How to apply that meaning to your gate and then to your life   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl034/

We’re diving deeper into the Human Design channels in this episode. Remember those circuits and subcircuits from last episode? It’s time to talk about them.  We’ll chat about the Individual Subcircuits, the Tribal Subcircuits, and the Collective Subcircuits. We’ll also talk about how having a lot of…say Individual energy or Collective energy (especially when it’s concentrated in a single subcircuit affects you and your design).  Ready to get started? Listen in now!

It’s time to go deep and get detailed! This episode is all about the gates and channels in Human Design. (You know those lines and all the numbers in the centers? Yeah. We're talking about THOSE.) Your channels and gates add a lot of energy to your design, and while understanding them is definitely diving into the deep end, it can help with appreciating your design as a whole.  If you’re ready to move past your Human Design centers and go a bit deeper into the smaller (but still important) points of your design, it’s time to listen in.   We'll cover - What gates and channels are - Why they matter - How they influence your everyday life (especially in relationships)   Ready to join the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy?

This is part three of our Projectors in Business series happening during the month of June. In this series, we’ll talk all things projectors + business, so you can stop working against your energy and start working with it. In this episode specifically, I’m diving into a process that Human Design Projectors can use to hire an aligned person for their business. I’ll talk specifically about hiring a business coach, but these steps work for hiring any kind of support. Because all too often we're pressured into making a decision (and that's not good, especially for peeps with an emotional authority). But it's not good for the rest of us because we don't get to ask the really important questions, like "Do you know anything about working with Human Design Projectors?" Working with someone who isn't aware of Human Design or who doesn't know who to work with projectors isn't a great idea. That means they don't understand your energy. You wouldn't hire a chef who didn't understand your dietary needs, would you? So why would you hire a business coach or virtual assistant who doesn't understand how your energy works? It's time to hire the people who are aligned for you. This episode will help you do just that.   Ready to learn what it means to be a human design projector and start working WITH your energy?

This is part two of our Projectors in Business series happening during the month of June. In this series, we’ll talk all things projectors + business, so you can stop working against your energy and start working with it. In this episode specifically, I’m finally tackling a topic that many of you have asked me about: How to sell as a projector. I’ll talk about how you can use your projector energy to create a platform that will give you both recognition and invitations to work with people. (Yes, really!) I’ll also walk you through how you can write as a sales page as a projector.   Ready to learn what it means to be a human design projector and start working WITH your energy?

This episode officially kicks off the Projectors in Business series! Yay! This series is all about running a successful business as a projector. So no, I'm not giving you any passes to initiate, work all the time, or do anything else that's unaligned with your energy. #SorryNotSorry. Because honestly, you've been trying that forever, right? Isn't it time you stopped trying what doesn't work and start trying what does? This episode will dive into how you can run your business as a Human Design Projector. I'll share tips and strategies that I've found work for me (a projector) in my 5 years of online business. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes peek at how I run my business and what I do in a day.   Ready to learn what it means to be a Projector and how to work with your energy?

"Manifesting" is a super big catchword these days, especially with the more esoteric crowd. And I have nothing against manifesting. In fact, I quite enjoy it when and if the strategies + steps I'm given work with my Human Design type. Unfortunately, a lot of the time we're given manifesting steps that benefit Human Design Manifestors. (Which - no surprise there. Many of us were raised thinking we were manifestors.) So it should come as no surprise that the normal manifesting steps don't work for projectors. That's why we're talking about what DOES work.   We'll cover - Manifesting steps that actually work for Projectors - A FREE email challenge that will help you work WITH your energy   Join the Projector Pivot Challenge here: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/projectorpivot/   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl028/

Finding out your a Human Design Projector is a huge deal. It's life-changing. It can be exciting, difficult, frustrating, or all of the above. For many of us, finding out we're a projector is a shock, but after we start thinking about it, we realize that we are projectors. However, the more we learn about what it is to be a Human Design Projector, the more questions we have. And then we discover that our strategy is to wait for the invitation...and that can leave us feeling helpless and lost. Truly understanding and accepting that we're projectors is a process. Some of us learn we're projectors, and that's it. Acceptance is immediate, and we go on our way. But for others, it's difficult - a long, drawn-out journey that we sometimes try to change. If you're in this last category, this episode is for you.   We'll cover - Each of the 5 stages of Projector Acceptance - My personal experience with each stage - The fact that these stages aren't linear   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl027/

That Projector Life has some of the best subscribers and listeners ever! (Also, if you're not yet a subscriber to the podcast, be sure to hit the subscribe button.) And the best listeners always have questions (because you're so busy thinking about and applying what I'm talking about to your lives). So in addition to answering your questions via email, Instagram, and Facebook, I'm dedicating a That Projector Life episode to them! The amazing thing about having so many listeners send in questions is that I get to think about and explore topics that I likely wouldn't have thought about on my own. (So thank you for lending me your energy + insights + thoughts so I can create this resource for everyone.) Do you have a question you want me to answer?

You may have heard me mention the "Not-Self" before. But I've never really gone into what it is. That's where this episode comes in. The not-self is a term we use in Human Design when the mind falsely identifies us as something we're not. (So a projector thinking (and acting like) they're a hard worker - or that they're a worker bee - is the not-self. Because projectors aren't here to work hard all the time. Being a hard worker occasionally is fine. But being a hard worker all day every day is part of the not-self for projectors. Many of us come to Human Design having lived as our not-self our entire lives. We listen to what our society or our families tell us we need to be - a hard worker, an initiator, a go-getter, etc. And then we mentally identify with that. So we spend most of our lives in our not-self, not working with our energy and wondering why things aren't going great. This episode is here to change that.   We'll cover - The Not-Self theme for each Human Design type - The Not-Self theme for each center - Figuring out your whole Not-Self theme - Steps to distance yourself from your Not-Self theme so you can live in alignment with your energy   For all the links mentioned in this episode (plus the books I couldn't remember), check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl025/

It's time for another Human Design chart reading! Following along with me is a great way to improve your Human Design understanding and practice reading charts. This episode will focus on Diana, Princess of Wales. We'll walk through her Human Design chart and look at her energy as well as how that played out in her life. And, just like Former President Barack Obama, Diana is a projector! Ready to follow along with me for this reading of one of Britain’s most well-known royals? Here is the birth info I'm using for Diana: July 1, 1961 at 7:45 pm in Sandringham, United Kingdom.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl024/

Pressure! Pushing down on me. Pressing down on you... And likely that pressure is really intense if you have undefined Human Design pressure centers. Remember how we talked about the Human Design energy centers in Episodes 007 and 008? We're diving into two very important (and potentially very frustrating) centers: The head center and the root center. These two centers are pressure centers, which means that they put a lot of pressure on you in their own unique way. Do you constantly (or at least sometimes) feel like you HAVE to answer ALL the questions? Do you feel like you don't deserve to rest...despite working an 8-hour day? If you answered yes to either of those questions, this episode is for you. (I'd also wager that you have at least one undefined pressure center.) But even if you don't have an undefined pressure center, listen in anyway. You probably still feel some pressure, but not to the extent that those of us with undefined pressure centers do.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl023/

In our last episode, we talked about 6 business strategies that don't work for Human Design Projectors. Now, we're looking at the strategies that DO work for us! First, let's answer the question that's probably been nagging at you all week: Can projectors run a successful business? The answer: YES!* *You have to use business strategies that enable you to follow your Human Design strategy and authority. So...no initiating. And no working all the time. Now I'm sure you're sitting there like "Ardelia, how can I run a successful business without initiating or working all the time?" To which I reply "Projector Magic!" Seriously, though. Working with your energy, and following these 6 business strategies to do it, can help you live as a projector AND have a business that supports you. While I don't have all the answers - or even all the business strategies for projectors - start with these 6 and then experiment to see which ones work for you. (You're more than welcome to tweak them as needed.)   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl022/   NOTE: I've updated the show notes since this episode first went live.

In case you haven't figured it out by now, dearest Projector, your energy doesn't work like the rest of the world's (who are mostly generators, by the way). And that can create a LOT of issues when it comes to starting and running an online business. Because there are a lot of well-intentioned business strategies floating around in the online business world. And they'll all give you clear-cut easy-to-follow steps. They'll all promise to give you the success that you're looking for. And they'll also all likely not be aligned with your projector energy. Why? Because most of the “accepted strategies” that you've probably been following (or have been told to follow by a well-intentioned business coach) don’t take into account your Human Design type. A lot of these business strategies tell you to go out and initiate...and projectors just aren't built for that. We CAN initiate, sure. But things don't always go well for us afterward (hence your business struggles). So you've probably been using strategies that work AGAINST your energy. (Hey, I'm guilty of it, too. And yeah, it made me mad + bitter for the better part of a year.) It's time to shine a light on what business strategies don't work for Human Design projectors. We'll cover 7 in this episode, so tune in to learn what doesn't work with your energy.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl021/

We talk a lot about Human Design in general...and especially in technicalities, but we rarely talk about designs manifesting themselves in the real world. Until now. I’ll walk you through the steps I’m following in this episode as I break down my design step-by-step from type to channels to show you how each piece of my design supports and aligns with this show. This isn't just me showing off. This is me living out my 1/3 Investigator-Martyr profile and showing you what I've learned along my Human Design Projector journey so far. And because I have such an intimate understanding of my chart and my life, I can easily draw connections between what I'm doing and how that shows up in my chart. So there's a list of steps to follow so that you can do this for yourself with your design. Wondering if your job is aligned for you? Want to know what your purpose is here and how you can follow it? This is the episode for you.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl020/   Resources - Episode 015 | The 6 Lines of the Human Design Profiles - Episode 007 | The 9 Human Design Centers (Part 1) - Episode 008 | The 9 Human Design Centers (Part 2) - Episode 013 | How to Read a Human Design Chart

You know those red, black, or red-and-black lines that connect one energy center to another in your Human Design chart? Those are channels, and that's the focus of our episode. Channels in Human Design create connectivity in the chart as a whole. And they each have their own unique themes, challenges, and modes of expression. They're a very important (but more detailed) look at your energy. You can tell a lot about your channel by where it's positioned in your chart and what centers it connects. For example, a channel that connects to the throat shows you what you're here to express. If you have a channel connecting your throat to your solar plexus, then you can express your emotions.   Ready to explore your Human Design channels? We talk about:  - What Human Design channels are - How to find them - Why you need to know your channels - Their themes and how to use that info - Channels as Manifested, Generated, or Projected - and how that affects you   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl019/

Remember a few episodes back when I said that reading Human Design charts is a great way to get better? Here's your chance to read along with me! I'm diving into Former President Barack Obama's chart. And guess what? He's a Human Design Projector! (And a very open one at that.) We'll treat this chart read like any other chart reading I do for my clients. We'll walk through the chart properties and talk about how they all played out in his life and in his policies as President of the United States. Looking for Barack Obama's birth information? Here's what I'm using in this chart: August 4, 1961 at 7:24 p.m. in Honolulu, Hawaii. Also, I hope this underscores the fact that Human Design Projectors can do great things - including lead an entire country. It all comes down to following your strategy and authority. (So Projectors, no initiating!)   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl018/

Deconditioning is a big deal in Human Design. In fact, the rule of thumb in the Human Design world is that it takes 7 years of consistent deconditioning before you can really, truly begin living out your design and living in alignment with your energy. So what is deconditioning? It's basically unlearning the behaviors, habits, and cultural norms that don't align with your energy. Everyone has at least some deconditioning to do, and this episode will walk you through how to get started unlearning basically everything. Deconditioning can seem like a daunting task, but if you break it down and do it little by little, it's not so bad. And you may be asking "Where do I start, Ardelia? There's just so much!" And I get that. This episode will help.   We'll talk about - What deconditioning is - Things each type needs to stop and start doing - Why you need to decondition - Some simple steps to help you get started   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl017/

Wondering what Human Design projectors REALLY want you to know? Well, we’re talking alll about that in this episode. And projectors - struggling to share your feelings/frustrations about being a projector with others? Ready to share something with the people in your life that will help them understand how you work? This is it! Tune in - and grab that special person - before you do, so they can listen to 8 things you want them to know. (And even if you don't agree with all 8 things, you can still use this as a conversation starter.) Other human design types, this is your starter guide to what projectors want and what they want you to know. So listen to it and use it as a starting point to talk to your projector about how you can support them.   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl014/

Human Design profiles give you a very important look at how you live out your purpose (a.k.a. your Incarnation Cross). Your profile contains the energy that gives you insights as to how your energy functions in this world. It adds to your strategy so that you have a refined understanding. Yes, you're a projector, so you need to wait for an invitation. But if you're a 1/3 Investigator-Martyr profile (like me), then you go through life wanting to know all the things and then test out all the things you learned so you can turn around and share that with the world. And if you have a different profile, you'll be drawn to live out your purpose in a different way. As you can tell from the title of this episode, there are 6 lines in Human Design. Each of those lines has its own energy, and it brings that energy to the profile. (A profile is made up of 2 different lines, by the way.)   We'll cover:  - What a Human Design profile is and why it matters - Each of the 6 lines of the Human Design profiles - How to put the energy of the different lines together to create your profile   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl015/   NOTE: I've updated the show notes since this episode first went live, so some links that I mentioned in this episode may no longer be available. Also, I've removed the graphics I mentioned because they didn't add much in the way of understanding. 

In Human Design, your authority is the way you make decisions, and it's all about listening to your energy, not your mind. The mind has no place in Human Design when it comes to deciding something. However, we're often trained to "think things through" or to "reason things out" before we act. That works for...no one. Because no one in the Human Design system has a "Mind Authority". Yes, there are such things as mental projectors - but even they don't have an authority where they get to think things through and allow their minds to decide. So to help get you out of the habit of deciding with your mind, we're going to cover Human Design authorities, of which there are 7. And yes, I'm breaking down each authority and talking you through how it works and how you can begin working with your authority and listening to your energy.   We'll run through:  - What authority is - How it works with your strategy - Why it matters - Each Human Design authority + how to work with them   For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl014/

Listening to me talk about Human Design and walking you through all the energy centers in the system is great. But you know what's even better? Being able to read and understand your own Human Design chart! (Again, it's life-changing). Because once you learn how to read your chart, you can read other people's - like your spouse's or your kids' or your siblings'...and then everything about your relationship begins to make sense! But...I'm getting WAY ahead of myself. First, you need to learn how to read the chart before you can start interpreting it and acting on that info. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how I read human design charts to get the big picture of someone’s life + purpose. Then, I’ll walk you through a live human design read of my chart so you can see + hear everything in action. (I'm all about examples, so this is my example for you. Also, I'm most familiar with my chart - and myself. So I can tell you how the energy in my chart manifests itself in my life.)   We'll cover the different pieces of a Human Design chart, including - Authorities - Profiles - Incarnation crosses - Channels   Check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl013/   Related Episodes - 007 | The 9 Human Design Centers, Part 1 - 008 | The 9 Human Design Centers, Part 2

That Projector Life is back after an unexpected break! In this episode, I’m talking all about why I took a break from the show, what I’ve been going through behind the scenes and what TPL’s future looks like.  Join me for a candid talk about what online entrepreneurs rarely talk about – success, the lack thereof, and how we react to it. In this episode, I'm very much still finding my way - through business, through being a Human Design Projector, and through this very podcast.

Welcome to the first episode in the Aligned 2019 Series. We’re kicking things off with a business evaluation! Yay! What is the Aligned 2019 Series? It's a collection of That Projector Life episodes designed to help you evaluate + change what's not working in your business so that you can begin working with your energy. This is all about bringing Human Design into your business and making changes that support your needs + energy. (So no more working 1,000-hour weeks!) The business evaluation in this episode will cover 4 key areas in your business over the past year: - Vision - Messaging - Marketing - Finances We’ll work through each area and determine what was aligned, what was unaligned, and where you did (or didn’t) work with your design.   Check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl009/   Grab your free copy of the Projector Business Workbook (now part of the Projectors in Biz Bundle).

It's time to cover the last 4 centers in our journey through the Human Design BodyGraph.   If you didn't listen to part 1, go back and do so (it's episode 7 - the one right before this one). We have some heavy hitters in this episode (sacral center, anyone?), so listen closely.  The centers we cover in this episode are - Spleen - Sacral center - Root center - Solar Plexus   For each center, I'll discuss - Themes + energy - What it means to be open or defined - How a center's definition impacts you on a daily basis - Energy dynamics between people   Check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl008/   NOTE: I've updated the show notes since this episode first went live.

We're diving into more technical + foundational info for the Human Design system by focusing on the 9 centers in the BodyGraph.  The centers in Human Design are unique. They each have their own energy and energetic themes as well as their own not-self themes. Knowing which centers you have defined and undefined can be the key to understanding the energy dynamics between you and other people. The centers we cover in this episode are - Head center - Ajna - Throat center - Identity (G center) - Willpower (Heart center)   For each center, I’ll discuss - Themes + energy - What it means to be open or defined - How a center's definition impacts you on a daily basis - Energy dynamics between people   Check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl007/   NOTE: I've updated the show notes since this episode first went live.

Human Design is kind of the new kid on the block when it comes to the esoteric/spiritual/self-help world. But that shouldn't stop you from giving it a try. (Seriously. It's life-changing!) If you've made it this far into the show, congrats! I'm betting that you're already sold on Human Design. But if you're not...this episode is for you. (And even if you are, listen in. You may find new reasons to love + use Human Design in your everyday life.) If you’re looking for something beyond the status quo, and you know that the cultural message of “work hard all the time” isn’t doing it for you, listen up!

A huge part of being a Human Design Projector is waiting for the invitation. But that's easier said than done...because HOW are you supposed to wait? It sounds simple enough, but putting that into practice can be confusing and frustrating, especially when you're trying to meet your goals. So in this episode, I'm breaking down the relationship between Projectors and invitations.    We'll cover:  - Why Projectors need invitations (hint: It has to do with our energy configuration) - When you need them - What invitations can look like - How to receive invitations   Check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl005/   NOTE: I've updated the show notes since this episode first went live.

This is the story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down…and I found out I was a Human Design Projector. #GameChanging I’m taking you through a little of my story and how I found human design. I start with my first business in 2014 and bring you up to Summer 2018 and how I’ve been learning more about human design. You’ll also get to hear how human design has played a huge role in my life in 2018 and the adjustments I’ve gone through since discovering I’m a projector. So if you’ve wanted to know more about me and my story, this is it! Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, depending on how you look at it), the first sentence of these notes is all the rapping I’ll do. NOTE: I've updated the show notes for this episode since they first went live. So if you can't find some of the links I said would be there or if the links are different, go with the links below.

Welcome to the first episode of That Projector Life! This podcast is here to support Human Design projectors as they discover what it means to BE a projector and to live like a projector.  This super short episode is a basic intro to the show and gives you a feel for how things will work. However, I’ll be honest and say that things have changed on the show since I first recorded and released this episode. So take what you hear here as the first draft, really. Because this show has grown and changed as my understanding of Human Design has also changed.   Check out the complete show notes at https://www.thatprojectorguide.com/tpl001/   Let's connect:  - Instagram: @ThatProjectorGuide - Schedule a Human Design Read - FREE Mini Coaching   Resources:  - Create your free Human Design Chart with MyBodygraph - Understanding Human Design by Karen Curry
