If you're an introvert, Projector in Human Design, or subscribe to the "if they wanted to, they would" line of thinking, this episode is for you.Agata Serocka comes on the show today as a spokesperson for Projectors, who think reaching out, pitching, and asking for what they want isn't part of their strategy. We get into how to build a signal, BECOME the invitation, and not miss out on life's biggest opportunities by sitting in the passenger seat. We talk about:Reframing "waiting for the invitation" and how to move beyond the LITERAL interpretation to actively create conditions (podcasting, writing, showing up) that invite opportunities.Making outreach and pitching feel warm and not annoying AF. Building genuine rapport, finding connections, and doing research before reaching out vs. cold-pitching someone "hey girl haven't talked since we were 16 but would love for you to join my course! Link in bio!"Reframing labels (Projector, HSP, ADHD, rejection-sensitive) as data points to design a personalized, sustainable approach to visibility and business.Discernment over volume. How to say no to opportunities that don't fit, and trusting what's meant to work out, will! Making pitching fun and creative again. Gamify audacity by using playful approaches like quests, small asks, and outlandish ideas to build confidence and make outreach sustainable vs. another "ugh, I have to do that?" choreConnect with Agata:The Culture of Unrushing Podcast on Spotify and AppleSubstackWaitlist to Agata's mastermindExperience Audit FreebieConnect with Chelsea:Join the SHOOT YOUR SHOT CHALLENGE Aug 25-27th!Enroll in Audacity for $900 off til Aug 27th!Get on the Ultimate Pitch Kit waitlist

Human Design helps a Projector feel seen in a way almost nothing else does — and this episode, one of Hillary's most-listened to transmissions, breaks down exactly why. It's a full reframe of what it means to be a Projector: not someone who waits on the sidelines for permission, but someone whose entire gift is built on presence, discernment, and knowing their own worth before anyone else confirms it.Hillary unpacks the Projector strategy of "waiting for the invite" — and dismantles the most common misunderstanding of it. She draws the line between the handful of moments you truly need an invitation and the long list of things you never do.She traces her own path from feeling disempowered by the word "Projector" to building a business entirely on recognition, energy exchange, and never chasing. Plus: why invitations can expire, why rest is a Projector's real productivity hack, and a quoted reflection from Ra Uru Hu on the difference between healthy recognition and the "not-self" trap of attaching to people who were never truly yours to begin with.If you're a Projector who's tired of proving your worth — or you love one and want to understand what they actually need — this is the one to listen to.In this episode:What it means to be a Projector, and the gift most Projectors were never taught to seeThe real meaning of "waiting for the invite" (and why it's not about waiting at all)The only three times a Projector actually needs an invitation — and everything they don'tWhy invitations can expire, and how to know when to say noThe mantra "I attract, I don't chase" and what it looks like in practiceA personal story of turning down a misaligned invitation, even when it looked good on paperWhy presence, not productivity, is a Projector's true measure of successA quote from Ra Uru Hu on recognition, and the difference between being seen for who you are versus who you're pretending to beBecome CERTIFIED in HD in the Advanced Human Design CertificationTHE EXPANSION LIVE TOUR: Join us in person for a transformative day event in AustraliaTHE EXPANSION: Expand into your highest potential and timeline for conscious business owners, coaches and entrepreneurs InstagramGet your free Human Design Chart

The Lit Up & Liberated Entrepreneur, from passion to profits, with digital products
Posting more doesn't always equal earning more and for some designs, it's the fastest route to burnout. I'm joined by my client and fellow marketing pro Charlie Garnham, a 5/1 projector business coach, to tell the truth about what happens when you stop performing for the Instagram algorithm and start building a personal brand that actually matches your energy.Charlie is in my Souled Out Offers by Design program and shares how much it's helped her grow her business in this past 12 months. Being part of what's led to her now 4x her corporate income in just a few hours a day!Then we get into the messy middle: the pressure to prove you're a “real” marketing expert when a post flops, the temptation to chase trends, and the constant background noise that says success only counts if it's louder, bigger, and more visible. Charlie shares what changed when she stopped trying to squeeze projector wisdom into short-form content and leaned into long-form marketing like podcasts and YouTube. We also talk about client attraction through invitations, including guest speaking, online summits, and podcast interviews that let you deliver one strong message and then rest.We unpack the projector lifestyle as a real business strategy: boundaries with social media, more space on the calendar, and the mindset shift from doing equals worth to spaciousness equals magnetism. Then we zoom out to the coaching industry's favourite myths, including follower count as a proxy for credibility, and “no ads” marketing that quietly replaces money cost with energy cost.We wrap with a practical look at offer refinement and why a purpose-built AI marketing assistant like Sellina can feel wildly different from generic ChatGPT or Claude prompts because it's built on methodology and process, not just information.If you're craving aligned marketing, human design business strategy, and a calmer way to grow high-ticket offers, hit play.

Erkenning is voor een Projector geen luxe. Het is één van de belangrijkste voorwaarden om écht tot zijn of haar recht te komen. In deze aflevering deel ik met je waarom dit zo is en waarom dit inzicht voor mij veel heeft verklaard.

This podcast was once called The Projector Playground- I used to walk my dogs and record myself talking about all the new things I was learning about being a Projector in Human Design. It connected me with Projectors around the world, and helped me feel less alone in this experiment. A lot more people are interested in Human Design these days- but when I discovered HD, I didn't know anyone else who "spoke the language." So I just started talking about.. But after 20+ episodes of HD centered conversation I started talking about other things. However, I recently went on a trip with a couple of magical MGs and Generators- and I kept thinking about how much I missed talking about Human Design. So on this episode- I am weaving the psychedelic playground with the projector playground- so we can have a really trippy conversation about being the Projector energy type. I'm discussing why relationships are such huge choice points for Projectors, how our aura works on others, and what can happen when the Projector attention is used as a manipulation tactic.I believe the Human Design experiment is deeply metamorphic. It alters your perspective about who you are and gives you the opportunity to do what your soul has always wanted to do. And the Projector aura is also quite trippy in this way- it's designed to guide the energy of others. To take people away from the stories that aren't true for them, and help them write their own tale. And being told you're a creator of your own life and that you have a gift to share- that can be so surprising to people that it feels like a hallucination. This podcast bridges the gap, and makes spirituality more accessible, psychedelics experiences more grounded, and trips to faraway lands more realistic. I'm hoping this episode connects you with the great prophecy of Projectors for 2027 and beyond. Much of the work we're doing in this life is to transform the way humanity lives in the world. We are finding answers that weren't given to us, and gaining perspective that we had to find for ourselves. This is The Projector Playground- but make it Psychedelic.

In today's Weekly Wrap, I break down the mechanics that actually create your Human Design type, and why so many people who love Human Design have never been taught this part.I walk you through what makes a Manifestor, a Generator, a Manifesting Generator, a Projector and a Reflector, right down to the definition. A motor connected to the throat. A defined sacral. The splits that change everything. Once you understand this, you start to see why two Projectors can show up in completely different ways, and why we cannot put ourselves in a neat little type box. Your definition matters just as much as your type.I also share the seven money principles from The Richest Man in Babylon, written back in 1926 and still holding up, because the principles have never changed. We get into why AI is a skill worth building now rather than later, a LinkedIn growth strategy we are running inside HDx that you can set up with five to ten friends this week, and why getting your eyes on your business metrics is the thing that lets your brain finally see the evidence of your own growth.I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coachBig love,MxxOTHER RESOURCESWant more on Human Design?

There is not much Human Design content made for Manifestors that is actually made by a Manifestor.In this episode, I share the most important shifts I have made in the last 6 years since I discovered I'm a Manifestor, and what changed in my body, my business, my relationships, and my sense of self once I finally stopped trying to operate like a Generator or a Projector.This is the guidebook I wish had existed when I first received my chart.If you are a Manifestor this is for you. If you love a Manifestor, this is for you. If you want to understand a Manifestor more, this is also for you.

If you've ever used your human design (or astrology, or any system) as a reason why you can't do something—this conversation will flip that entirely. Amy Elizabeth built a $10M+ human design company over five years, then made a decision that made no logical sense: she closed it. Not because anything was broken, but because something greater was calling. In this conversation, Amy shares how human design became her tool for limitless potential, not limitation—and how she navigated single motherhood, financial uncertainty, and a complete identity evolution by trusting the nudges before they made sense. Celinne and Amy explore what happens when you stop waiting for crisis to evolve, why conditioning (not your design) creates your limits, and what it actually looks like for women to collaborate from a place of personal power rather than need.

In this episode, I'm telling the story of the biggest, scariest, most illogical investment I've ever made, and how it became one of the most transformative decisions of my life.After years of searching through books, mentors, plant medicine, nervous system work, and every modality I could find, one Facebook post cracked something open in me. What followed was a wild chain of synchronicities, a somatic dojo that felt like an ayahuasca ceremony without the medicine, and a body-led decision to invest more money than I had in my bank account.This is a story about capacity, money, nervous system expansion, trusting your body when your mind is screaming “absolutely f*cking not,” and the moment transformation begins: the transaction.A reminder that sometimes the thing that makes no logical sense is the exact portal your future self is asking you to walk through.Support the show✨ Thank you for listening!

In this episode, I'm reintroducing myself, my work, and the deeper mission behind Find Your WAI.After almost a decade of healing, therapy, personal development, Human Design, plant medicine, nervous system work, courses, mentors, and doing “all the things,” I hit the point so many of us secretly reach:What the f*ck is wrong with me?Why am I still struggling with money, business, love, visibility, receiving, and actually living the life I know I'm here for?This episode is the story of how Find Your WAI was born from the question “Who am I?” and how my work has evolved from healing and information into something much deeper: embodiment, capacity, Human Design, somatic work, and learning how actually to hold the life you keep calling in.I share the behind-the-scenes of my own death and rebirth season, the investment that logically made no sense but changed everything, the somatic work that cracked open my body, and the creation of Alchemy of You, my 70+ page customized Human Design operating manual for your mind and body.Because you don't get what you want.You get what you can hold.And this new era of Find Your WAI is here to help you answer who you are, increase your capacity, and start living by your design.Find Your WAI Offer Suite:
Projection fan ambience for sleep, relaxation, and deep focus. 10 hours of smooth fan. No talking just continuous ambient sound. _____I've had a complicated relationship with overhead projectors. One aughts summer, my brother-in-law borrowed one from the school district, and we broadcast Rogue Squadron 2 on the side of his house. The Battle of Endor played extra big. It was awesome.Typically, overhead projectors haunted my high school experience (I was a terrible student). A distinctly smooth gray-noise machine aimed blurry equations, history, language, and science principles onto a pull-down screen at the front of class. Screens that were only fun going away, as a tug initiated a spring to wheel the screen back into a roll with a “clap, clap, clap.”One projector was wheeled into ninth-grade biology before the final dissection of the trimester: a pig heart. And the class needed to take note of how we were to cut the pickled organ. It was to be my first dissection of the year—the other two times I had gotten a pass with a “because my religion” excuse (it was the '90s, I went to a southern military school with its own church on campus).The "my religion" excuse failed the third attempt after my teacher asked, “What is your religion?” And I was like, “eh... Lutheran?”“Lutherans have a problem with dissection?”“I think?”The teacher called my parents and asked if they were comfortable with my cutting up a pig heart, and found out my mother was a cardiologist.
Most conversations about the feminine, the masculine, patriarchy, and spiritual law stay in one lane. This one doesn't. In this wide-ranging yet to-the-depths conversation with my coach and fellow Human Design Projector Alexandra Danieli — a mentor for feminine Projectors in business — we let the wisdom lead. Projectors are one of the five energy types in Human Design, and there is something that happens when two of us get in a room together and start riffing… the transmission comes through in a different way. What emerged was one of the most layered, expansive conversations I've had on this podcast. We move through what it means to operate as a Projector in business and in life, the spiritual laws of Kabbalah, the real roots of patriarchy as a fear-based system, and why love and pleasure together might be the two frequencies that move us towards unity. This one is for the seekers, the mystics, and anyone who has ever wanted to understand the deeper laws behind why we're here — and what becomes available to us when we understand our own power. Topics include: What it means to be a Human Design Projector and why finding out is often life-changing How Kabbalah gives structure to the spiritual understanding of the universe Why patriarchy is really a fear-based system and what it's done to both men and women The spiritual roots of masculine and feminine energy beyond gender The Creator, the Light, and the Vessel — and what we're actually here to do Why pleasure is not frivolous — it may actually be the most divine energy Love and pleasure as the two frequencies of unity Coming home to feminine power first — and how that shifts everything LOVE THIS PODCAST?

In this high-energy episode, Lauren and Trey dive deep into the carnal mechanics of desire. Picking up from their previous discussion on David Schnarch's work, they explore the concept of "f*cking" as a specific, functional, and necessary category of sex that is often the hardest to maintain in a long-term marriage.They pull back the curtain on how they negotiate "taking" and "allowing" in their own relationship, moving from the psychological theory of differentiation to the literal "socks on, blankets nearby" logistics of a five-minute encounter.Lauren and Trey discuss the difficulty of prioritizing one's own pleasure within the "nurturing" container of a long-term partnership. They break down:Why it is your job—not your partner's—to schedule and ask for the specific sexual experiences you want.Defining sex that is time-bound, goal-oriented, and centered on one person's pleasure (and why being "used" for a partner's delight can be a high-level erotic experience for both).Lauren shares the importance of "tents and balloons" (arousal) even in fast, penetrative encounters and how to communicate physical needs mid-act.The duo demonstrates a powerful communication tool used with Lauren's coaching clients. By stating exactly what they would want in a perfect world, without the pressure of an obligation, they create a "third domain" for negotiation.Watch (and listen) as Trey and Lauren literally negotiate the terms of a "f*ck," including timeframes, boundaries, "tingle times," and specific kinks.Recognizing that sex (and recording podcasts!) can be an act of service or a "willing" gift rather than a "giving to get" transaction.Lauren and Trey reflect on their different energy types; how Lauren's "Projector" energy thrives on the "roll" of communication while Trey's "Generator" energy reaches a clear cutoff point. They discuss how respecting these energetic limits is key to maintaining a "calm heart and calm mind" in the relationship.If you are ready to stop mind-reading and start negotiating for the pleasure you actually want, Lauren offers a trauma-informed, biopsychosocial approach to reclaiming your erotic voice.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

In this episode of the Redefine Business Podcast, host Brittni Schroeder sits down with Andie Thueson, a Human Design and Astrology guide and host of the Own Your Peace podcast, for a fascinating deep dive into self-discovery and aligned entrepreneurship. Andie shares her journey from health and wellness blogger to soul purpose coach, and breaks down how Human Design — a system combining astrology, the I Ching, and quantum physics — can serve as a personalized roadmap for life and business. She walks listeners through the five energy types (Reflector, Manifestor, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Generator), explains how each type is designed to move through the world differently, and introduces the concept of "authority" — your body's unique way of guiding decisions. Brittni and Andie also explore how astrology layers on top of Human Design, including how placements like the Midheaven can shape your brand voice and content strategy. The episode wraps with a candid conversation about why copying someone else's business strategy often backfires — and how understanding your own design can help you build a business that feels authentic, sustainable, and energizing. Whether you're new to Human Design or curious about how to apply it practically in your business, this episode is packed with insight, relatable moments, and actionable takeaways.

Today is my 47 birthday and I have a treat for you! This BTS episode is your invitation to trust your creative evolution, even when it doesn't look the way you thought it would. I'm taking you behind the scenes of my career from professional kitchens to content creation to fully stepping into content strategy and the moments that changed everything.I share the origin of “Chef Carla,” and how a moment on TV sparked an identity rooted in energy, visibility, and presence. What started in kitchens evolved into working with major brands, creating hundreds of photo shoots, recipes, and campaigns but underneath it all was something deeper, my super power: content strategy.I share the pivotal moments that shaped my path, like the selfie I posted on Instagram after a Cherry Bomb conference that led to working with Bobbi Brown. To the deeper realization that following the energy is what creates momentum in my life. I talk about what it actually means to follow a nudge and how one small action can open doors you.I also share the turning point of my CreativeMornings talk, where I had to face a hard truth: the industry was shifting, and the work I once identified with was changing. What felt like loss became clarity. It revealed what had always been true, my work isn't just creating content, it's understanding how it works.I explore the intersection of intuition and strategy, the duality of “Chef Carla” as Manifesting Generator and my more introspective Projector self, and how both are essential to my work. I also share how supporting brands to generate real results, including multiple viral moments, and helped me claim my role as a content strategist.This episode is a reminder that your identity can evolve. That letting go is often part of the creative process. And that your greatest strength might already be present, and you might have yet to name it. Whether you're navigating a shift in your career or questioning what's next, this conversation is for you.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform while you cook, clean, or create.

In this week's episode, we are giving our Projectors another pep talk! We dive into what it really means to navigate life as a Projector in a world largely built for Generator energy. We discuss the unique sensitivity, depth of perception, and energetic needs that Projectors carry—and why honoring those needs is essential for alignment and success. From learning to redirect your focus back to your own fascinations, to embracing the necessity of deep rest without guilt, this conversation validates the challenges many Projectors face while offering practical reframes for moving through bitterness, overwhelm, and invisibility. This episode is a reminder that Projectors are designed for success—not through hustle, but through wisdom, recognition, and honoring their own energetic rhythms. Key Takeaways: Why Projectors' ability to perceive patterns and systems is a powerful gift—and how it can become draining without clear personal boundaries. Why a Projector's focus is their greatest asset, and how directing it toward what fascinates them builds magnetism, recognition, and invitations. Why rest is essential for maintaining a Projector's alignment, clarity, and success. How bitterness often signals misalignment for Projectors—especially when they are overextending their energy for others. Why Projectors are uniquely positioned to guide and help reshape how success and leadership look in the new paradigm. SPRING EQUINOX SALE!

In this episode, I introduce an analogy that will help you begin to understand one of the deepest teachings in the work we do together: remembering who you truly are beyond the mind, the body, and the identity you believe yourself to be.But before we get there, I open with something curious that has been happening recently - a series of strange glitches across the internet. Recaptcha failures, payment systems behaving oddly, websites looping without explanation, automated systems issuing refunds that become additional charges, and even this very podcast platform failing to publish an episode on schedule. All of this occurred within just a few days. Whether these are simple technical glitches or signs of a rapidly evolving digital world, they serve as a reminder of something important: what we perceive as reality is often less stable than we assume.From there, we move into the heart of the episode.I begin by guiding you through a short moment of inquiry: if your eyes are not truly “seeing” and your brain is only predicting what it expects based on the past, then what is it that is actually perceiving the world?To explore that question, I introduce what I call the three layers of the not-self - the layers through which consciousness is filtered in our human experience.The first layer is the physical layer, the body and the five senses. This is the most obvious filter and the one most people believe themselves to be.The second layer is the mental layer - the film of conditioning, identity, beliefs, and past experiences. This is the narrative we tell ourselves about who we are and how the world works.The third layer is the energetic layer, the subtle field that influences how we feel around others and how we are drawn into certain relationships and experiences. Frameworks like Human Design, astrology, and other energetic systems help describe this layer.To bring all of this together, I offer the movie projector analogy.Imagine a projector in a theater.The screen represents the physical world.The film represents the mind and its conditioning.The lens represents the energetic layer that subtly shapes how the film is projected.But none of these are who you are.You are the light itself - the source illuminating the entire projection.Your consciousness passes through the energetic lens, through the mental film, and finally appears on the screen as the physical world you experience.This is why two people can witness the same event and describe it completely differently. Each person is projecting their own film.The deeper teaching of self-realization is recognizing that you are not the screen, not the film, and not even the lens. You are the light.And when you begin to inquire deeply - asking the question “Who am I?” - the answer that remains after all labels and identities fall away is simple:I Am.In the next episode, I'll offer another analogy that pushes even further into this understanding and helps you move closer to direct realization of your true nature.Until then, brothers - elevate your alpha.

Public artist Michael Townsend grew up in a military family that relocated often—at least ten times during his childhood. He learned early how to explore new locales and seek out new friends before moving on to the next temporary hometown. His final relocation was to study art at RISD, when he chose Providence as home—and began quietly reshaping it. He founded the Tape Art movement in 1989 and built a thriving practice rooted in ephemeral public murals, deeply private underground installations, and highly clandestine collaborations, including the now-legendary Secret Mall Apartment.For more than 30 years, he has created hundreds of temporary murals and collaborative public works around the world, including the 9/11 Hope Project and the invention of the BOOM! Projector. Now, with the success of the Secret Mall Apartment documentary on Netflix, it's clear that he and his collaborators were deeply intentional about incubating that narrative until it was ready to be heard.Moving fluidly in and out of the shadows—showing up, making an impression, then dissolving underground only to emerge again—turns out Michael himself may be a work of ephemeral art.Images and more from Michael Townsend on our website!Special thanks to our sponsor!

What if the “alpha” you've been chasing was never something you had to become… but something you had to remember?In this interview-season episode of the Alpha Male Coach Podcast, I sit down with a brother who's close to my heart: Salu “Lu” Smith - a fellow Projector, a long-time student in the Academy, a graduate of Tribe Class 002, and a mentor who returned to support Tribe Class 003. This is not a surface-level conversation about tactics, dominance, or performance. This is an initiation story. A seven-year transformation. A real example of what happens when a man stops outsourcing his power and starts listening to the voice inside him that already knows the truth.Lou takes us back to the beginning: 2018 in California, a relationship that exposed the “nice guy” conditioning, and the pressure he felt to become harder, stronger, more masculine - not from alignment, but from insecurity. Like a lot of men, he got pulled into the mainstream “alpha male” content and the idea that being an alpha was about getting women, gaining status, and proving something. But underneath that drive was something deeper: a craving to finally feel enough.That search eventually brought him to this podcast and to the Model of Alignment - the simple but life-changing understanding that your circumstances don't create your results… your thoughts do. Lou shares how he would come in and out of coaching at first, trying to “figure it out” on his own, until life humbled him into a deeper commitment. And that commitment became the turning point: not because the answers were outside of him, but because having a coach helped him see what he couldn't yet see in himself.We go deep on what it really means to invest in your inner world - especially when money fear, doubt, and ego resistance rise up. Lou explains how the leap always feels risky in the moment, but once the decision is made, reality starts rearranging around it. The money figures itself out. The mind quiets down. The path opens.From there, we talk about Tribe - not just as coach training, but as a high-accountability brotherhood container where men hold space for each other to grow, awaken, and lead. Lou shares what it was like to experience Tribe first as a student in Class 002, then to return as a mentor in Class 003. Watching other men rise didn't just inspire him - it expanded him. It sharpened his understanding. It brought new layers of wisdom online.And then we go to the hardest question of all: How do you explain “the lights being on” to someone who's never had the lights on before? How do you describe awakening to a man still living inside the program?Lou's answer is simple and profound: you don't convince the mind. You invite the feeling. You listen for resonance. You trust the signal. And you take the leap - even when it scares you - because that fear is often the ego trying to keep the old identity alive.If you've been feeling that pull inside you… this episode is for you.Elevate Your Alpha.
