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.

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.

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.

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. So please take everything here with a grain of salt.

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.

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.

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? Listen in to the episode.

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.

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.

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. Listen to the episode now.

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). Take a listen and let us know what resonated most for you!

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).

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.)

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.

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.

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.
