That Projector Life

It's been almost 6 years since I started the That Projector Life podcast, and it's been a wonderful few years of growth, learning, and change. However, this is the last episode. I've finally felt the push to release That Projector Life and close up shop. And now that I've decided to cut cords, my Martyr line is adamant that we do it sooner rather than later. So while I realize this decision may seem out of the blue, I feel it's been a long time coming. I don't feel like I can give TPL much more, and I'm ok with that. I've had a good run here, and Human Design has helped me become more comfortable and happy with who I am. I believe I've done what I set out to do - create something I'm proud of, express myself authentically, and guide others along the way. I also feel the winds of change blowing me elsewhere (of course, I have no idea where specifically...just not here). And being me, I have to follow that path. It's also a little exciting to once again step into the unknown and find my way from scratch. This podcast - and the business around it - has been such a huge part of my life for so long that I will miss it. However, it's time for me to close the book on this chapter of my life. I'm ready to rest deeply. I'm ready to discover a new path. And I'm ready to release this wonderful creation. The podcast and the TPL website will remain available for a while longer. I would like them both to serve as a resource for as long as possible. I'll also open up the TPL Patreon to the public sometime in November. If you have any questions or last thoughts, you can find me via email at ardelia@thatprojectorlife.com. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey, whether you've been here for 1 episode or all 209. I truly appreciate you, and I wish you all the best in your journey.   Episode Links For all the links mentioned in this episode, check out the complete show notes: https://www.thatprojectorlife.com/tpl209/

We spend a lot of time as Projectors waiting for an aligned invitation to come along. But what happens when one does come along, but you can't accept it? How do you handle that? Does not being able to accept an aligned invitation mean that you're doomed to a life of bitterness? (Sorry. I had to be dramatic there.) It does not. In this episode, we'll talk about what happens if you can't accept an aligned invitation. We'll also look at how you can handle or view this event. Because things are likely going to be emotionally charged when it comes to not being able to accept aligned invitations. Ready to dive into this not-much-discussed topic?

We're diving into a lighter side of Human Design today. Let's talk about how to have fun with this system. Because the Human Design system is about how to live life in a way that's unique to you. It's a great way to open up to your energy and really begin to honor it. But so often we tend to get caught up in the technicalities. (Think: Am I doing this right? Is that my authority? What does waiting for an invitation mean?) And when we get stuck in our head, we tend to lose sight of just how fun it can be to play around with something that's meant to bring enlightenment to us. So this episode offers five ways you can take a step back from the heavier side of Human Design and dip into some fun. (And sure, there's a time and place for the heavy, serious stuff. But we shouldn't stay there all the time.) If you're ready to let your hair down while moving through the Human Design system, give this episode a listen.   Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

It's time to look at our authorities from a whole new angle: The Dark Side! (Cue Star Wars reference.) Authority is a huge deal in Human Design. It's one of the first things we learn about, and it's one of the things that we return to constantly when it comes to making decisions and living in alignment. But sometimes our authorities aren't always as helpful as we think they are - whether because we misinterpret them or allow them to stray into less than healthy behavior. This episode is going to dive into the different ways each authority can stray into its shadow. You may never experience the dark side of your authority, and that's great. But if you think that something is off, or that you're not feeling quite yourself, reflect on how your authority is showing up. It could be that this foundational piece of your design is acting out.   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, we're looking at inspiration and the difference between mental inspiration and energetic inspiration. Have you ever felt like you have all the ideas - that everything is inspiring? Or maybe you've found that nothing is inspiring. You have no mental energy to pursue anything. I'd like to introduce you to the Head Center and mental inspiration. It's a necessity in life - it's what's given us so many great ideas to run with. However, mental inspiration can be a fickle mistress, especially when you have an undefined Head Center (and I am definitely speaking from personal experience here). So how do you handle mental inspiration (or a lack of it, since that's what you'll likely have after deconditioning the Head Center)? What can you do to remain inspired while still being in your own energy? This is where energetic inspiration comes in. It's tuning into your energy to allow your centers and channels to do their thing. Ready to explore this inspiration?

In this episode of That Projector Life, I'm joined by Splenic Projector Alex Mufson. Alex is a seasoned entrepreneur, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder and CEO of her latest company, Aspen Growth Coaching (AGC). We start off by talking about Splenic Authority, and Alex shares great insights and tangible action steps for Splenic Projectors who are new to their authority. (And if you don't have a Splenic Authority, this is a great way to begin understanding how it operates.) Alex also talked about running her business as a Splenic Projector and the flow that she's found in listening to her energy - including her defined Heart Center. (Did you know that the Heart Center (a.k.a. the Ego Center) is getting a little rebrand? Alex mentions that here - and helps us understand and love on this center a bit more.) This was such a down-to-earth conversation about Human Design, business, and how to work with your design in your own way.

In this episode of That Projector Life, we're walking through the 3 stages people move through when they learn about the Human Design system. (And of course, like most things in life, this can be a non-linear journey. And just like Human Design, there are many layers to these stages.) So we'll look at how our understanding of the system changes - and how our approach to it changes as well - from beginning to end. When we start with the system, we'll all about the facts and figures. We want to know all the things and we want to know NOW. There also tends to be a hint of doctrine here - we follow what other people say religiously. But over time, as we become more comfortable with the system and understand our energy better, we tend to move past the "just the facts" approach and step into the second and third stages - both marked by unique challenges and understandings.

In this episode, we explore the energy of the Tribe, the Tribal channels, and how they all work together to fulfill the Tribe's purpose: resources and survival. We'll start out by situating the Tribe in the larger picture of humanity as a whole and talk about the Tribe's purpose as it relates to the rest of the world. Then we'll move into each of the Tribal channels and place its energy in the larger story of how the Tribe itself functions. The channels play off of and support each other, and we'll trace the paths of the Ego Circuit and Defense Circuit as we explore the Tribe's energy. Finally, we'll spend some time talking about the highest expression of Tribal energy as well as the lowest expression of Tribal energy, touching on how and where the Tribe grapples with the not-self. The not-self is something definitely worth exploring, as we see a lot of Tribal not-self show up in our world. Ready to dive into the inner workings of the Tribe?

Have you ever looked at your channels and thought about what they mean for the energy flow in your chart? We're doing just that in this episode! We'll look at all the different center connections in Human Design (and there are a lot) and talk about how they work and what it means to have one connection over another. For example, we'll talk about the impact of having an Identity to Spleen connection and how that differs slightly from an Identity to Sacral or an Identity to Throat connection. Because each center pairing is different - when we pair center, we bring the themes of those two energies together. The specific channels that you have are your own special blend of those two centers. In this episode, we'll stick more to the general information, but this is a great building block for looking into your channels. We'll look at how the themes of the energy pair between centers and how that impacts you.   Episode Links Check out the Projector Pivot Challenge and start working with your energy in just 12 days!

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.)

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?

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.

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.

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. And if you're looking for the article I mention in the episode about cultural appropriation in Human Design, you can find it here.   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?

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. You may have some major ah-has as you do this work.     Show Notes Learn more about your unique Human Design by booking a reading here.   Want to learn more about recognition, invitations, and how to work with them?
