    Jamie Palmer [00:00:02]:
    Hello. Hello. Hello, and welcome to the HD Your Biz podcast. I am your host, Jamie Palmer. And, today, I am really excited to dive into my approach to human design. This is not something that I've necessarily talked about a lot publicly. I very openly share it inside necessarily a place where I've I've spent a lot of time talking about it online. And the time just feels right to really speak to my approach to human design and why my approach is different.

    Jamie Palmer [00:00:57]:
    And the reality is there's not a lot, if any, other people to my knowledge that are looking at human design with the rigor and the logic and the patterns and the practical application. And so let's dive into this because I think this is kind of, like, an interesting thing to talk about. So first of all, for those of you who don't know, if you're new to the show or you've been around for a minute, I have been in business for myself since I was 20. My business started as a website design firm. I was doing WordPress websites before they were cool. And then in the emergence of social media, I added in done for you social media, and then I transitioned fully into the online space from mostly local, and did a lot of, you know, funnels and website design and and all that sort of stuff and and agency work, and I grew the company. And, I've been supporting entrepreneurs for almost 21 years in some form or another. And I stumbled upon human design or human design found me, on Instagram of all places in 2019, and I was at a place in 2019 where I was just kinda going through the motions of life.

    Jamie Palmer [00:02:22]:
    At that time, I had been running the business for probably about 6 years ago now, so 14 or 15 years. And, I was really unhappy, and I was I knew that I really didn't wanna continue that work, but I didn't really know what was next. And I was doing a group coaching program, business ecosystem builders, and I had been doing that for a while, and I was enjoying that. But I still had the agency, and I had people that I was responsible for in the agency. So I had this, like, coaching, you know, elearning part of my business, and then I had this agency part of my business. And I honestly felt like there I was always, like, wasn't doing anything well. Like, I wasn't momming well. I wasn't doing my agency well.

    Jamie Palmer [00:03:19]:
    I wasn't doing my, coaching stuff well. And the reality is I felt, like, really fractured and splintered and really divided because, like, I was always constantly being pulled in all of these directions. And I stumbled upon ins human design on Instagram, and it was this post about emotional authority and that those with emotional authority will only ever have 80% certainty that the thing that they are making a decision on is correct for them. And I was like, wonder what this human design thing is. And sure enough, I, you know, looked up my design, and I'm a 3 5 triple split emotional authority projector. And sure enough, there it was right there in front of me. I was like, I've had 80% knowing for the better part of the year that I don't wanna keep doing my agency. And that was, like, such a light bulb moment for me.

    Jamie Palmer [00:04:28]:
    And I was like, how could this tool that doesn't know me at all actually, like, be able to know that that's the thing that I've been struggling with? So I couldn't unsee what I saw, and I just started to dig in. I took training programs. I hired a mentor. I bought all the books and all the things and all the source material and all the stuff, and I just dove in. And as time went on, I phased out of my my agency, and I continued to do coaching in my business ecosystem builders program, which is now a lot of the the business strategic foundation that I've woven with human design in in my business today. And the reality is as I started to leverage human design for myself, with my children, with my husband, with my clients, I I didn't come from a background of astrology or really anything that is, air quotes, very woo. Like, I didn't come from this place of really, like, I was very, like, logical. Right? I had come from this background of, like, being in business, helping entrepreneurs with their website and their social media for decades.

    Jamie Palmer [00:06:01]:
    And so when I when I came to human design, I started to just look for parts of the chart where I would notice that clients were struggling, or I would say, like, okay. I have a client here that's struggling with attracting their ideal client. Where in the chart could we leverage that to better help them bring people to them? You know, same thing for, like, offers. I was like, that was one of the first things I really dove into was offers and business models. I had several clients at the time that were and this is, like, a lot of the work that I was doing at the time in the business ecosystem builders program and with my 1 on 1 clients was to help them go from 1 to 1 coaching, right, or their one to one expertise to a leverage model, a one to many model. And so I started looking at patterns that I would see across charts, or I would start to look at, you know, okay. If this is the problem that the client is struggling with, where in the chart can we leverage to solve for that problem, or how could we restructure things based on someone's chart to make that work in a more congruent for them way? And the reality is I don't believe that we can actually fit our human design into our businesses. I believe we have to structure the entirety of of our business around our design.

    Jamie Palmer [00:07:35]:
    And I always say, like, the business that the business and life you love is at the intersection of your design, your desires, and the lifestyle that you want. And I think a lot of times when people say, go look at your conscious mastery to see how you communicate, or go look at x to see what kinda offers you do, I think it's kinda twofold there. I think we miss the point of human design in terms of the fact that the parts don't exist without the whole. But I think more importantly, we are still in sort of that old paradigm or that old belief where we're trying to shrink ourselves and our design to to contort to whatever, you know, business box we've created for ourselves. And and I'm not suggesting that you need to, like, burn in the entirety of your business down and and restart. Like, there's a lot of ways in with which I work with students where we transition and we pivot and we start to, like, make changes slowly over time, to create, like, that regenerative, sustainable business that is built around someone's design. But the reality is I didn't come from this thinking of, like, you had to use this to articulate that, and so I just constantly tried to solve in the very beginning, I was just trying to solve for the the the problem that the clients are were having. Then I I started doing this, business design with human design workshop, which has now become the business design with human design course, and I was, like, looking for patterns.

    Jamie Palmer [00:09:20]:
    Right? And I started to synthesize together these patterns of where, like, certain things I would notice if somebody had, you know, a certain type or a profile or a certain set of circuitry or a certain set of perspective. Like, it would work better for certain business models than others. And I just kept kind of following the data. Right? And and as I got more and more and more charts, I was able to synthesize and see more and more and more patterns across all of these things. As always, I just wanna name because I'm the caveat queen here. You know, just because it works for one person doesn't mean it's gonna work for another. Right? Like, strategy and authority is a big thing that I talk about over and over and over again. Like, I can make recommendations for you where I see patterns, where I see things that might pop up.

    Jamie Palmer [00:10:19]:
    But the reality is you, at the end of the day, are the one who has the desires. You are the one who has to live it out. You are the one who is working towards x sort of lifestyle. And so I really like to kinda give people options of, like, here's what I see works best based on all of these different factors. And the reality is, I think, you know, that approach has served me well in my HD Urbiz program and my BDHT program. It served me well in HD wild. You know, we because I've trained over 60 people now in HD wild in sort of my approach to human design. You know, we've started as a collective, as a group to see patterns across things, and, you know, this is not medical advice.

    Jamie Palmer [00:11:10]:
    I am not a medical professional, but we collectively, as a group, have started to see, you know, trends in things, like folks with the 41 30 who are diagnosed bipolar, folks with gate 9 who are diagnosed ADD, ADHD. We're starting to see all these themes and patterns emerge across all of these different industries. Right? And I think that for me is really where I've kind of looked at human design with this different lens of, like, the parts don't exist without the whole. Where are we seeing patterns across all of these things? My husband calls this palmering because I've been doing this for, like my approach to thinking like this has has kind of just been how my brain works. I am constantly sort of focusing in on the parts and the details and that 1,000 foot view, and then I'm constantly kind of, you know, zooming out and looking at that 30,000 foot foot human. And I'm, like, always kind of oscillating between those two things, and I really think that there are not to my knowledge, I don't think anybody else is really looking at HD in this way. And, you know, I think a problem in the industry, the human design industry as a whole, is that so many people are only looking to type in profile. And I really think that that's, like, a a problem in the current market.

    Jamie Palmer [00:12:42]:
    And I think, you know, for me, the beauty of human design is that there is all this depth there. There is all this nuance. There is all this stuff underneath the iceberg of type and profile that we can look at and we can dig into and we can use to better understand people. But the reality is it takes time to learn that. Right? It takes time to master that. It takes time to integrate it, embody it. And, you know, there's a lot of people who see, you know, human design is growing in popularity. So let me jump on that bag bandwagon, and let me, like, make money on this thing while I can.

    Jamie Palmer [00:13:18]:
    And that's true for every industry. It's not just exclusive to to human design, but I think part of the problem is so many people just focus on type and profile. And I think when we only focus on type and profile or type profile and authority, right, strategy and authority, we kinda miss the whole point and beauty and nuance and depth of human design. Like, if you're only gonna look at type and profile, go take a strength finder test. Go take a DISC. Go take an Enneagram. Go take a whatever because you're missing so much nuance there. And, you know, we see so many blank by design offers in the space that are popping up, and I really think that the blank by design approach, especially when we only look at type and profile, misses all the beauty and depth and validation and understanding of what HD actually is.

    Jamie Palmer [00:14:16]:
    And for me, personally, you know, I am really committed to setting the standard of what it means to be HD informed. And, you know, that's this is this is part of the reason why, you know, I'm on a mission to help people better understand all the depth that's available. And the reality is we can't just know human design. We can't just learn about. We can't just educate ourselves. We have to take that knowledge, and we have to integrate it into our body. And we have to actually embody it, and we have to practice what we preach, and we have to actually take it to the next level. We have to take it from this very, like, up in the air knowing to this in the body experience.

    Jamie Palmer [00:15:07]:
    And I think a lot of people are in that knowing phase, and they don't actually leverage and harness and and integrate HD. And, you know, this is why we have so many I I have so I get so many messages from other people who are in the HD space or the HD in business space that come to me, and they're like, they're struggling. Right? They're struggling because they're they're trying to fit their design into existing business model. They're trying to do the way the things the way that they should or the way that the industry tells them that they should do it. And the reality is, you know, we can't just only look at type and profile. It misses kinda like I said, it misses the mark of of that depth that's available there. And I think, you know, one of my favorite books is Howard Gardner's 5 Minds for the Future. And part of the reason why I like that book is it really talks about how the different minds that we need to be successful, as we move forward into the future.

    Jamie Palmer [00:16:16]:
    And the 5 minds that are that he talks about in that book are the ethical mind, the respectful mind, the disciplined mind, the creative mind, and the synthesizing mind. And I would say that my superpowers are the creative mind and the synthesizing mind. I am someone who, if I don't get my creative and synthesizing time, I feel incredibly frustrated. And the reality is my synthesizing and my creative time allows me that ability to really oscillate between that 30,000 foot view and that 1,000 foot human, and it gives me this sort of innate ability to notice and observe all these things that are coming up across all these different parts of the chart, and it really and I've always been able to do this, like spotting trends and noticing patterns and naming things that might come up and, you know, noticing what's what's missing out in the marketplace. And and, you know, that that's these are all parts of my design as well. And for those who know HD, you know, you're hearing my perspective. You're hearing my 17, 62, 16. You're hearing my gate my 5 gate 9 placements.

    Jamie Palmer [00:17:34]:
    Like, all of that stuff is all part of my design. But the reality is when I make a synthesis, when I weave together information, when I use my creativity to, you know, make a visual or make human design more practical, it's coming from this place where it's been tried and tested and experimented with it. And I don't think, to my knowledge, that there's been very many people approaching HD with this rigor. You know? I have my ideal client workshop that I've run, and I think there's been 3 or 400 students at this point that have gone through that program. And the synthesis that I have in that program comes from the fact that, statistically speaking, I have this massive anomaly in my business of undefined and undefined throats. Now there's a few caveats to that. Right? Like, I get a lot of other projectors who may have a defined Ajna in throat. But when we looked at the data, right, 73% of the population has a defined throat.

    Jamie Palmer [00:18:52]:
    Well, in my group, it's backwards. Right? Almost 70% of the the people in my programs have had an undefined throat or an in my in the beta run of HD Urbiz and HDWild, we had 90% of the people in HD Urbiz beta, and we had 67 folks in that program, and we had 13 in the HD Wild beta program. 90% of those people had And that's just crazy because it's almost a 47, 53 split when we think about the the marketplace, the population. Right? And so I come from human design synthesis and patterns. And when I say the things that I say and I share the things that I share and I talk about the things that I talk about, it comes from this place of, like, a pattern that I've spotted, and then I've experimented with said pattern, and I have the data to back it up. And the reality is I'm constantly forever looking for and observing these patterns, and then I go and I'll actually test it because I think sometimes we can be conditioned to behave in a certain way or, you know, whatever. But but when I think about, like, the ideal client design with human design synthesis or the work I do in in any of my programs, really, it's coming from this place of that there's a a pattern here. There's this there's something here that we can work with.

    Jamie Palmer [00:20:27]:
    Right? I worked with a client couple of years ago to do some work with her in her content creation or done for you, course creation agency. And I helped her create this manual, and she was really struggling with getting clients to record the class, or the course that her her and her team had made it made. And we made this manual, and we we basically created she did a lot of the work in terms of creating the systems in her business, but I created the manual that was all designed around how can we actually get people to finish by design. Like, what do we have to look for in charts? And then we develop systems to support that finishing? And the reality is she never publicly said, oh, I'm gonna coach you by design to finish your course. In fact, she she doesn't really even do that. She just says she uses this as a tool and asks people to pull their charts and send them over to her. And then her and her team very, like, nicely support people by design for type and profile and circuitry and a couple of other things that we we synthesis together that kept coming up as a problem. And the reality is I I think this is not the typical approach that people take in the HD space.

    Jamie Palmer [00:21:49]:
    And for me, I am always thinking and and remembering that the parts also don't exist without the whole. We are whole human beings. And I think when we try to rip apart the chart and we can take it apart and we can study it, But I think when we're constantly just always looking to one part of the chart to solve all of our problems or to give us an answer, you know, we miss that beauty that comes with human design. To me, it's like a yes. That piece of that chart could be impacting the rest of the chart, and that piece doesn't exist without all of that stuff. So why is that coming up? Like, where can we look in the chart? Where else can we look in the chart to figure that out? I think one of the other things that I don't necessarily talk about too too much that is also important to me is mastery. I am a huge fan of mastery over time. Right? And mastery comes when we we not only know and we educate ourselves, but we integrate, ourselves, but we integrate, we embody, we experiment, we get into action.

    Jamie Palmer [00:23:02]:
    We work with people. We get our hands dirty. We get into the field of life, and we, you know, get into it with people. Right? And we we we start to be able to witness and observe and hear and feel in our bodies our designs, and we can help people in their get back into their bodies. And the reality is mastery doesn't happen overnight. It happens over time. It ebbs and it flows, and it comes in peaks and valleys and plateaus, and it comes in, you know, consistent micro steps that happen day in and day out. It comes when we lean into discomfort and taking action.

    Jamie Palmer [00:23:51]:
    And for me, that is a huge part about why I've created and structured the programs that I've created. Because, you know, the fact of the matter is we don't necessarily need more human design readers that can read, type, and profile. We need more human design readers that understand the depth of the chart and how circuitry impacts type and profile. We need more people who understand that definition makes things present in a different way. We need more people who understand the format, gates, and energies and the role, gates, and energies. We need more people who understand that certain gates are more conditioning than others. We need people who understand that there's going to be generational patterns based on not only what was going on collectively, but also the transits that were happening. You know, I saw a chart yesterday, and I said, it had 3 of the format energies in it.

    Jamie Palmer [00:25:02]:
    And I was like, I know that chart. Like, my husband has the heart chart just like that. And I was like, is this person 37 years old? And the person was like, how the heck do you know that? And the reality is, you know, that's the kind of depth that we need. And in my opinion, the the the future of HD for me isn't necessarily in human design readers. The future for me with HD is really about weaving human design into our existing expertise. It's in the example like I used with the course creation agency. She's not overly saying, I use HD to help people finish their course, but that is exactly what she does. You know? There is massive opportunities for people who want to create a blue ocean in their industry, who want to create a category of 1 in their industry by weaving human design with their existing expertise.

    Jamie Palmer [00:26:12]:
    This is true, like, for me, where I see lots of opportunities here, it's professional services. There is massive opportunity in professional services for leveraging human design. There is massive opportunity in education and relationships and parenting and, money and finances. There's massive opportunity in event design, in even real estate. Like, there's there's for me, I see so many possible for dating, for, how nutrition and health. Like, the list could go on and on here. And for me, that's really a big part of what drives me forward in in my HD wild and my HD or biz programs because I really believe, particularly in HD WiL, that if we can have more people who leverage HD as a tool in their business in some form, whether publicly, speaking to it or by the scenes to create behind the scenes to create more predictable outcomes. Right? And that was what my client wanted to do.

    Jamie Palmer [00:27:29]:
    She wanted to create more predictable outcomes in getting people to finish their stuff. Right? Ultimately, when we can use HD as a tool like this, it can radically change our businesses and our world and our clients' worlds. And to me, that's really where I see an HD revolution. Right? That's where I see the ability to be able to individuate, if you will, or differentiate, not only for yourself, but for your client, your expertise. Right? And, of course, you know, to me, these are the places where, yes, it is a bit of work to weave your existing expertise with human design, and we have to always just be thinking about what is the problem I'm solving for. Right? What are the things that come up most frequently with my clients that I'm I'm struggling with? And then we can use HD as a tool for that. Right? We see lots of people doing this. And I have lots of clients in the program.

    Jamie Palmer [00:28:40]:
    We have some that are doing this with book writing. We have some that are doing it with yoga. We have others that are doing it with executive coaching. We have some people leveraging it with event planning. We have some people leveraging it with health and reiki and TCM, traditional Chinese medicine. So people are already starting to go down this path, and the reality is when you weave human design into your existing expertise, you create an entirely new category. You're you're doing category design because no one else is doing that. Right? You're you're creating this category of 1, and it offers massive opportunity for you to position yourself as an industry thought leader and expert.

    Jamie Palmer [00:29:32]:
    It also opens up opportunities to create certification programs and write books and create TV shows, and it opens up all of these other opportunities as a result. Couple of other things before we wrap. I think the other piece that I really wanna talk about are my values. So for me, practicing what you preach is is probably really one of the most important things to me. I want to be around people who practice what they preach, who lean into taking action. Right? We can only stay in planning and strategy for so long because planning and strategy, while we need that and it's necessary, until we step out onto the playing field of life or business or whatever it is, we won't actually get the answers that we're trying to figure out by planning. We could spend the rest of our lives planning and never really knowing many of the answers to the questions that come up and the what ifs that come up with planning. Right? So for me, practicing what you preach, leaning into this idea of taking micro steps, I also really believe in focusing, following one course till successful.

    Jamie Palmer [00:30:53]:
    I constantly am asking people, you know, what is the one thing? Right? And this is from the book, The One Thing. What is the one thing that if you move that thing forward, it would move all other things forward? Right? And that, for me, when I started this journey, was my HD Human Design for Business book. Right? I was like, if I write this book, this is gonna move all the other things in my business forward. And it's true. It has, and it continues to. And so I am constantly asking people to focus on the thing that's gonna create a domino effect because the reality is we live in a world where we are constantly distracted. We're constantly our nervous systems are constantly on alert by our phones and the dings and the bells and the whistles and all of that sort of stuff. We get glittery objects syndrome and FOMO, and we should ourselves.

    Jamie Palmer [00:31:49]:
    I should do this because this is what's typical. And the reality is that we just give ourselves permission to focus and and just focus on one thing for 1 year and really give that thing everything that we have, you know, it's it's amazing the results that people will get. And then, of course, the last thing that I that from a values perspective, and there are a few more, but these are the most important values to me, is I really believe in I would always rather invest the money and buy one high quality piece and be able to love that piece for the rest of my life and have it with me for life than by 10 different things that I constantly need to be replacing. And I really try to create, cultivate, and develop programs that will be with you for life, that you can come back to again and again and again, like a awesome backpack or a beautiful handbag, that you come back and you treasure it. And every time you dive in, you're met with delight or a new And that, for me is is a huge part of my philosophy and the way in which I develop content and the way in which I teach. I regularly have clients from past cohorts of HD wild beta, HD or biz beta from one of the 12 times I've run HD or biz that say I went back to the content and I had this other or I went back to the content and I noticed this. And that is something that happens regularly for me, and I believe it's because I really do create content that is high quality, that has depth, that's nuance, that's layered, that is going to be with you for life, that is going to support you as you grow and evolve and create that that foundation. And as you peel back the layers of conditioning, like, you might hear things in a different way.

    Jamie Palmer [00:34:02]:
    And that's something for me that I really pride myself on, and I really work hard to create those resources and that container and the learning platform to support people in that journey. So that's really how I approach human design a little bit differently than other people. I thought that would be a I thought this would be a great way to kinda kick off season 3 of the podcast because it's not something that I've really talked about, and it is something that I'm going to bring more of to the podcast. And so I thought this would be a great way to preface that. If you do feel called to step into my world, I invite you to come into the HD Wild program. HD Wild is a 1 year human design certification program. This is really where I spend the vast majority of my time supporting students. Students in that program get one to one support with me.

    Jamie Palmer [00:35:07]:
    I have really tried to make that program the only program that you will need for the entirety of the year because I offer here's all the human design info. Right? So we educate you in human design, and we give you resources and somatics and ecocentric, practices to integrate for yourself and for your clients. We offer deconditioning support for you through mindset calls, through Voxer access with me, and then we also offer you support in your business based on all of the stuff that I've done in HD or biz, BDHD, my business ecosystem builders program, and we offer tech support because I know that's one of the things that always holds people back. So I really, really try to make that be the only program that you need in order to move your your business forward.

    The 6/3 Profile in Human Design - The Role Model Martyr

    The 6/3 Profile in Human Design - The Role Model Martyr

    On today's episode of the HD Your Biz Podcast - Human Design for Business I continue the deep dive into the 12 profiles series in human design. On this episode I dive into the unique personality profile of 6/3 Role Model Martyr profile in human design who are here to test the limits of what is possible in this work and be of council and a leader in the world when they embody their own autheticity and balance observation with experiementation

    hey are characterized by a cycle of engagement and withdrawal, with three distinct life phases: birth to 30 years, 30 to 50 years, and 50 years and beyond. The six three profile is often seen as chaotic due to their constant engagement and disengagement, but this is part of their process. They are driven by curiosity and a desire for perfectionism, constantly asking "what's next?" and seeking to experience more. Palmer suggests that six threes need to learn to trust their strategy, soften their extremes, and honor the ebbs and flows of their life. They are encouraged to view their experiments not as failures, but as lessons learned.

    If you want to dive deeper into human design I invite you to explore the HD Wild Program.

    ******* Podcast Transcription Below *****************

    The six three profile, the role model martyr, or as I like to say in Ecocentric human design, the mentor expert you are here to taste. All that life has to offer. You see possibilities where others see an end. You push us forward by leading authentically and objectively. Your awareness and experiments give you a unique perspective on the world. Each encounter with another has the potential to create transformation in your world. You push humanity forward with the unique way you see the world. You are here before your time, a catalyst for change in the world. Your wisdom gained through lessons learned, creates a lasting impact on those you've never even met. You shine the light on a new path and pave the way forward. Okay, so let's dive into the six three profile. So when we think about this energy, we've got the third line, which themes are rejection and allegiance, bonds made, bonds broken.

    And then in the sixth line, we've got these themes of not trusting, trusting, not leading, leading. And the reality is when we come to this profile, you have to understand that when we have a six three, they are preparing us to start a new in the one three. So the six three is the last of the 12 profiles, but it actually preps for us to start the cycle again in the one three. And so it's prepping the stage. It's like it's constantly asking, is this worth it? Is this not worth it? Still more things here. How can we test this?

    And so we have to understand that the six three is here to move humanity forward. And they are here to own their own uniqueness and really just be true to themselves above all else. And they find this understanding and objectivity through the lens of their interactions. And every encounter they have with another person renders that person a transformation. And these are people who live a life of engagement and withdrawal and engagement and withdrawal over and over and over and over again. And of course we've got a six line. So it exists in three phases, right? Phase one birth to 30 years. This is a double third line. So there's a lot of bumping into things. There's a lot of life bumping into them. They're jumping into things, they're jumping out of things, they engage and they disengage and they make bonds and they break them.

    And then phase 30 to 50, these six threes tend to run to the roof really quick and totally disengage from life for a period of time. And they just observe. And it's often also during this time where they get really bored and that boredom jumps them off the roof and they go experiment some more. And then they're like, oh, why did I even come down here with the people? And then they go back up. And the reality is, since that third line is on the body side or the subconscious side or the design side, they often have life unknowingly happen to them. They kind of unknowingly enter into experiments because they're not necessarily conscious of it. Like a three five kind of knowingly enters into experiments or a three six sort of knowingly enters into experience. The six three isn't as aware that they're entering into an experiment.

    Experiments happen to them. Experiments help them gain wisdom so that they can fully engage in life. And then it's usually in phase three, 50 years and beyond where they spread their wings and they integrate all of the lessons from the first 50 years of their life. And really this is the time when they will step into the role of a leader or not, depending upon if they're in the high expression or the low expression. And it's during this time where they lead by leading with the people. They lock arms with the people, they get down with the people, and they just embody leadership on the ground, right? Versus the six two, they're leading almost from a place of counsel sort of behind the scenes. The six three is very getting their hands dirty leadership. And ultimately, this is how the six three finds fulfillment in life.

    And they want every interaction that they have to be authentic and bring a new level of awareness. And I always think of these people as old souls, wise old souls, and they've gained so much knowledge through practical hands-on experience. And they have this also weird awareness of other people through the observations from being on the roof. And the reality is this profile from the outside looking in can really almost look like they're chaotic because they're going to engage in something and then withdraw and engage and withdraw and engage and withdraw. And the reality is that's how they're intended to move about the world. And they have to sort of mind the balance of the extremes that they feel pulled to experience. And extremes are part of their process, and they move humanity forward through their extremes, through their questioning, through their experiments, and by sampling all that life has to offer.

    But extremes and chaos are ever present in the six three. And this can bring lots of challenges in their relationships. They want the truth all the time. They want connections all the time. And yet they, they're questioning, they're oscillating back and forth. They're in, and then they're out. They're weary to connect, and then they're not. And they question and they push and they really wonder what else is possible on this plane while doing it on their own terms and with their own authentic flare. And they're under constant tension to engage in this life and to evolve and to transition. And they're often judged by other people as chaotic.

    They're judged for their changes that they make. They're judged for their failures that they have with their experiments. And the reality is these are people who also get bored being on the roof because observing everybody, observing everybody, like I just want to go down in an experiment. And it's almost like their body takes over and enters them into experiments. And this cycle is going to repeat, repeat, and repeat until they can find something that they're passionate about that it's with worthy of them to stick with. And so the challenges here are many. And the reality is this is a profile that's here to impact the collective. And they are here to push us forward by being on the roof and observing and by getting off the roof and experimenting and experiencing. And while the six three life may have a lot of ups and downs, they are a treasure of a human and they're keenly aware that they're ahead of their time and they just can't seem to fit in.

    And they see things that other people can't see yet or have not necessarily come into the peripheral of others. And so the challenges here are of course, phase one, double third line, which is incredibly chaotic. The wounds here are often very traumatic. For the folks that experienced this, they bump into life, they bump into them. But the reality is the experiments and the quote failures that they have is really what helps them embody wisdom as they move throughout life. This is a time when they might struggle to trust. They feel like this can't be all that life has to offer. And as a result, this can lead them disengaged, distrustful, and frustrated. The other thing Is the six three gets bored quickly and they have to learn to channel that boredom into something that's worthy. And the third line on the body side pulls them into life and can leave them wondering, how did this happen?

    They can have a chaotic process. They can kind of look frantic or chaotic from the outside, and that can potentially be traumatizing from swinging, from engaged to unengaged boards to stimulated observing, to experimented. And the reality is they have to learn that they're experiments always bring about something better. And there's a lesson there to be learned. And so the six three is under tremendous judgment because they may not look like they have it altogether or that they're a mess or that they're a failure. And the reality is that often just leads to more extreme behavior. So for those of us who have a six three in our lives, we need to actually meet them with compassion and give them a safe place to experiment, a safe place to help them sit in a holding pattern if that's what they're called to do. We also need to be able to conversely hold space for them when it's time for them to engage in life and move from experiment to experiment without judgment.

    Because the reality is the six three wants connection and they lead by being in the thick of it. And they have this wisdom and objectivity from their observations and their experiments that is really different than the other profiles. These are people who are here to test the limits of what is available to us on the material plane. They're really always asking and begging the question like, what's next? And there are people who are perennially dissatisfied, right? They're like, is this it? Is that all? There has to be more to life than this? And this results in a constant need to sample and experience more and taste more. And the reality is, the wonder and the curiosity of the six three is insatiable, and it also leads to a need for perfectionism as a result. And there's this constant, particularly in that sixth line that wants to tweak and hone and tweak and hone and perfect.

    And that third line wants to gain more knowledge, gain more experiments. And so there's a constant tension in these lines that people have to really learn to reckon with and learn to contend with as part of their experience. So one thing here is to really learn to trust and rely on your strategy. That is so important for six threes. And they must learn to soften the edges of their extremes, particularly with other people, so that they can hone their objectivity. Yet for them, that fulfillment does come at the edge of those extremes, right? And they really need to just learn to honor the ebbs and flows of their life and understand that they are people who see possibility with their awareness in the world. And as a result, they may get rejected and labeled, but they are here before their time with a keen sense of awareness of what's possible.

    And they might be met with resistance because something that they're doing is new or out there and they see possibility in something new when things come to an end. So the six three really, it shows us by living through example, that authenticity is the key to living a fulfilled life, and that there is more that's here on this plane. Some questions to ask a six three profile. What did you learn? What possibilities are available? Is this relationship where I need to reestablish a bond or break it? What is my relationship with my experiments? Do I see them through the lens of failure or through lessons learned? Am I entering into this with my strategy and authority? Or am I relying on my logic? Where might others be passing judgment on me that is causing me to shrink my power? What is my relationship with failure? Is it part of who I am or is it just how I experience the world? What have I learned from bumping into life? What is authenticity to me? What makes me unique? And have I found someone who accepts my process of experimenting? That is the six three profile, the role model martyr in traditional human design, or as I like to say, the mentor, experi mentor. Thank you so much for tuning in. We'll talk to you all soon.

     

    Business Models with Human Design - Leverage your profile to create your business offer

    Business Models with Human Design - Leverage your profile to create your business offer

    I am so excited to be here. I am going to talk to you today about business design, offer creation, and really developing a business model in alignment with your human design. And for today's focus, we're going to focus on the lines, the lines that make up your profiles in human design. So couple of caveats before we get started. First and foremost, I don't only look at the lines in your chart, so I don't just look at the profiles lines, I don't just look at the lines that appear after your gates. I look at type, I look at circuitry, I look at gates and channels, I look at the defined centers and I also look at sort of perspective and view as well as your determination when I think about making recommendations for someone's offer or someone's business model.

    The other piece that is really important to keep in mind is the lifestyle that you want to cultivate. Because if you think about building a business and you say, okay, I want to build this business and I want to do it in alignment with my design. I want to do it Inc. Congruence to who I am, yet you don't really think about where you want to end up. Oftentimes it gets you out of whack. So as we're going through this training and as we're going through this content today, I want you to keep in mind the fact that I don't just look at one part of the chart. So this is not a formula for you to say, oh, I'm a line three and align five, and here's what I'm going to do. I want you to look at this and I want you to learn and hear and understand that this is just one part of how you can cultivate a business model and an offer by design.

    And then the other piece that you have to also consider here is what do you want your life to look like? I don't necessarily need you to have the specifics, I just want you to know I want to end up in this general area. So if you want to build, say a business that affords you to work less and be around $500,000 a year, or if you want to build a multi seven figure business, you're going to need two very different business models potentially to get there. And so I want you to keep this in mind as you're going through this training. One of the biggest mistakes that I see many entrepreneurs make is they don't claim where they want to end up. And I always think of that Allison Wonderland quote where Alice asked the Cheshire Cat, which way should I go? And he responds, well, I don't know.

    Where do you want to go? And she's like, I don't know, , right? And he is like, well, any road's going to get you there? So the same goes when selecting a business model. When selecting an offer. The other piece that you have to keep in mind is how do you ideally support your client's best? And what boundaries do you need to keep in place? So there's a lot of caveats to consider here, so I'm not going to keep boring you with those. But please just keep this in mind that this is not like a formula where you can just look at one aspect. You have to consider all of the details and all of the nuance to really make this work for you in your business. And this is what I do inside my business design with human design course. So this is almost like a little sneak peek of that.

    So let's dive into the lines. So we're going to go through the six lines that make up the 12 profiles in human design. So the first one that I really like to start with obviously is line one. So these are people who they're going to have a deep area of expertise in one area. It's usually pretty niche from my experience. They do their homework. They're not people who are rushed into moving forward. They really need to honor the timing of their life. And for me, I like to say that these people are here to give a depth of knowledge about their area of expertise. They are subject matter experts. They have depth in nuance, in details. They would always rather have too much information and they weigh their options. They investigate, they research. They are here to establish a foundation. They are here to give others a sense of security.

    They're here to really do things in a safe way. So these are people who get into the nuance in the details. They are here to go deep with others and share their expertise. So think details, details, details here, these people are well researched. So these people go deep. There's no surface level stuff with these people. So this is the person where you want to learn all the things from on a certain topic. So the think page2image22962304of these people as the master of one, they have a PhD. And so it's important for them to understand they need to honor their own need to have a secure foundation in place so that they have the time to research and go really deep. They're going to be made crazy by people who want them to move into the experiment, who want them to move into action and try something without having all the details. And they're going to make people crazy who like to move fast. So potentially the line one, the researcher, as I like to say, is going to make people like an MG

    Or manifestor sort of crazy because they like to skip the details, they like to move fast, they don't like to be slowed down potentially. And of course, the line one, the researcher begs the question, am I allowing myself to geek out and go deep in my business model? What details are essential for me to have in place? Super important question. And of course I just want to say I should have added this one other caveat as you're listening to this, take what resonates and leave the rest and then be sure to honor your own strategy and authority, particularly your authority. Next up, we've got the line too. I like to call this the introvert. These are people who really rely on others to help them recognize their gifts. And they're here. They need to sort of leverage their strategy and authority to discern which gifts they bring out into the world.

    Which calls do they want to answer? And they're really here to give people an aha moment and then get out. They're not people who want to get caught in the weeds, right? Because they become really depleted when they spend too much time and other with others. And as a result, when they are with others too, too much, they can get pulled into these things that aren't necessarily something that nourishes them because they are naturally talented. So in a business, these are people who need cycles of rest in downtime with cycles of being seen. And these are people who really move from depletion to nourishment and back again. So business models need to really support this oscillation of being with the people or not, and they have to learn to be discerning based on their strategy and a authority. What are their talents versus saying yes to everything?

    So in business, these are people who want to sort of systematize, leverage and hone, do something once and use it in multiple places. And then for them learning to recognize where have I been recognized? What have I been recognized for, and how can I hone that? That's really important. So they have this poll and they're going to need to honor these periods of nourishment and too much recognition makes them feel depleted as well as too much being called out for and too much time alone. So there's really this balance that they have to strike for themselves. And when I think about the people who they're going to be crazy by, they're going to be made crazy by people who want them to constantly be on and available. That is not ideal for a line two, but they're going to make people crazy who want you to explain your process.

    Everyone's always asking line two, can you explain to me what you did here? And the lines two can't. They can't. They're not great at that. And so understanding that people need to just trust, allow them to show up, take them for what their word is, or just observe them doing their right. I always say Line twos , open up your zoom and just allow people to watch you do your thing, right? Because they'll learn by doing that. You'll get them an aha moment by doing that. And you don't have to explain your process, you're just in the zone. So the line two begs the question is, does my business model nourish me or deplete me? And how can I build in periods of alone time to hone my craft? Next up, we've got the line three. And as I like to say, the experimenter, these people, the ideally have the ability in their business models and in their offerings to try new things and experiment.

    These are people who are here to help others find the best route based on the line three's experience of seeing what works and what doesn't. So they're really here to support others in finding the optimal way for them to go from where they are to where they want to be by embodying the wisdom of their ups and downs and their trials and errors, and then sharing those with other people. So these people lead with the people they lead kind of by getting their hands dirty. And it doesn't necessarily mean that they are here to do things with others, but they need to experiment in their own process, in their own business in order to be able to share that with their clients. So business models for them really need to promote freedom and space to experiment. These are people who can see what is not working faster than other people, and they pivot so they can help people in a transition.

    They can help people pivot, they can help people change, they can help people transform. These are people who are fast on their feet. These are the people before building out an evergreening everything they need to hone their process. And so they also have to really learn to honor their need to break bonds with clients and support team. When things aren't working right, relationships doesn't mean the relationship is over. It just needs to be readjusted. It needs to be revamped. And so these people will be made crazy by people who want them to map out all the little details or people that think they're a failure because they've tried so many things and they're going to make anyone crazy who want sort of a one size fits all approach. They're not ideal for people who need to have the whole business plan laid out. And the line three experiment begs the question, does my business model give me the freedom to try new things and share my trials and tribulations to help others see the options and discern which way is best for them?

    Next up, we've got the line four, and as I like to say, the mayor, these are people whose business model ideally allows them to influence others. These are people who are here to be a megaphone of information in an area of expertise that they're passionate about. They're not here to create something new per se, okay? They're here to take in information and then amplify that information. Generally speaking, these people are not ideal for cold, cold traffic. They grow best through their network. So think affiliates, dream 100, referral relationships. These are also people who are not easily influenced by other people, and they lead by spending time listening to what their community needs. So they have to have this balance with people and alone time, and they must actually listen to the people to understand how to influence them. So their business model needs to be one where they balance understanding your community and influencing them.

    It's a two-way street listening, influencing. So these are people who can get really burnt out in one-to- one because it's just too much listening, too much listening, too much listening, and their quality of their network directly influences and impacts their suc success. So these are people who have to honor the need to spend time listening to people in their network so that they can get people to better understand them in order to gain more influence. They're going to be made crazy by anyone who is constantly flip flopping and changing their mind. I know my husband's a fourth line, it makes him crazy when my line three self wants to change things. They're going to make others crazy by listening to them and doing what they want anyway. So fourth lines will just be like, yep, and then just go do whatever they want to do anyways.

    And they're going to often, and I say often because I have seen a few exceptions to this, but they often repel people who come to them from cold traffic since they aren't here to influence anyone outside of their network. So the line four begs the question, whose system process philosophy can I align with, utilize, create agreements with so that I don't have to get caught in creation? And then how am I leveraging my network to grow? Okay, next up we've got the line five, the disruptor. As I like to say, these are people whose business model challenges the way things have always been done and show people a new way. These are people who are here to come in when everything else is failed and show people a new way. So these are folks because they live in the projection field, they need to be really clear with the communication about what they can and they cannot do.

    So boundaries for line five are really key to success. They're here to influence masses here to influence lots of people, but they must be hyper clear about what they will and they will not do. And these arepeople who lead by leading, they lead out in front. So these are people who are visionary. They make something new, they create their ip. They're people who make IP or intellectual property, and they elevate the people around them who they support. So for a line five, they really have to honor this need to disrupt things, and then they need to retreat, and then they need to disrupt, and then they need to retreat. And they're going to be made crazy by people expecting and projecting them to do and save the day for something that's not aligned for them, even though they've repeated themselves over and over and over again. Hang on, that's not what I'm here to do. I don't know how to do that. That's not what I'm great at.

    And clear communication becomes really key for the line five. And they're going to make people crazy who are not ready to challenge the status quo, and therefore those people will often want to burn them at the stake. That's a human design term, for their radical ideas. So when we come to the line five, the disruptor, it begs the, they beg the question, am I clearly communicating what I am here to challenge? Do I have good boundaries in place so that I don't try to save too much and get burned at the stake as a result? Next up, and last but not least, the line six, the mentor. These are people who need freedom and space in their business to come on and off the roof as they please, okay? So they're here to be of counsel and provide unbiased advice to those in their life.

    They lead by leading, they lead by observing. And oftentimes, more often than not, I see these people counsel leaders selectively, okay? They're not necessarily here to lock arms with people. They're kind of here to lead from the sidelines. These are people who need freedom and space in their business models, and they elevate the people who they support. They, they're all about helping you be the most embodied, authentic version of yourself. And so they really have a unique perspective, particularly once they get on the roof, but they don't want to be sort of the crabs in the bucket is the metaphor I always use when the crabs try to climb out of the bucket. And the crabs, if they just work together, they would all get out of the bucket, but instead they kind of pull each other down. Six lines don't want to be in that crab bucket, okay?

    They don't want to be pulled down in the mundane details of everyday life. And so they really need to honor their desire to have space to gain perspective. They're going to be made crazy by people constantly seeking their approval, particularly those who they haven't established trust or they don't have a relationship with. They're going to be made crazy by people who want them to get into the nitty gritty details of things. They're going to be made crazy, but anyone wants to lock them down or forces them to play middleman. These are people who need freedom and space, and they're going to make people crazy who want all the little nitty gritty details and the reasoning and the why knowing is inherent as part of a six line life. And you either trust it or you don't. And line six, the mentor begs the question, am I clearly communicating my values to attract leaders in my world to be of council four? Does my business support my inherent need for freedom and flexibility so that I have space to gain perspective? So that is what I have around building your business model offers and client journey in alignment with your human design.

    Living in Congruence with Your Human Design - The Know Embody Become Process

    Living in Congruence with Your Human Design - The Know Embody Become Process

    Have you entered into your human design experiement? In this episode, I dive deep into talking about my Know Emobdy Become Process for getting back to the nature of who you are through the lens of human design. I delve into why it is essential to not only know but to have depth so you can get to the root of the issue instead of treating the symptom. I share how to begin to recognize when you are shoud'ing yourself and how to shorten your window of awareness so you can step out of the not-self faster and then reckon with that not-self and the story you are telling yourself there so you can step on the path to the embodiment, inhabiting this iteration of yourself that has been buried so that you can step into your becoming. 


    In human design, there is a lot of talk about living your human design experiment and how it takes seven years to find complete alignment. I believe becoming yourself is a lifelong process of peeling back the layers and the conditioning so that you can step into who you were born to be and get back to the nature of who you are before the weight of the world and all of the not-self, should's and expectations were placed on you. 


    Dive into this episode on The Know Embody Become Process to live in alignment with you human design.

    Not Self Of the Mind in Human Design - Should'ing Yourself in Business

    Not Self Of the Mind in Human Design - Should'ing Yourself in Business

    Shoulding yourself and the not self of the mind in business.

    The not-self of the mind in human design is centered in logic and sense making. While this can be useful in business, it can also lead you to 'should'ing" yourself with all those things that you are supposed to be doing. Learn more about the centers in human design, their not self themes or "should" themes in business. How to recognize with more speed when you are shoulding yourself in business. 

     

    Have you ever thought to yourself, “Oh I should do that.” Or “ I should do this”. Over the last couple of weeks I have been hearing it more and more, with clients, colleagues and in social media. The reality is I’m guilty of “should’ing myself” from time to time as well. The more I pay attention the more I hear it in different iterations as well, “this makes sense” or my personal favorite. “on paper this looks great.”

    When I take a step back to think about what “should’ing actually is especially through the lens of human design it is the not-self.

     

    The should’ing shows up in our

    • Marketing & keeping up with the latest trends like tik tok or reels
    • Sales & selling systems & tools
    • Need to try the new thing, tool, or thing aka Glittery Object Syndrome
    • Offers & business model trends
    • What our idea of “success” is
    • Working hours
    • Pricing
    • Time frame to respond

    If we examine our “should’ing” through the lens of human design this is the not self of the mind. The not-self of the mind is the spokesperson or mental monologue of the mind when we are out of alignment within one of our centers or with our strategy and authority.  In the human design body graph there are several places where we can be in the not self or low expression

     

    With our type – projector – bitterness & resentment, manifestor – anger & shame, manifesting generator – frustration & anger, generator – frustration, reflector disappointment.

     

    And with the 9 centers – head, ajna, throat, identity, heart, sacral, spleen, solar plexus and root.

     

    For this discussion on should’ing and the not self of the mind in business, we are going to stick with the not-self of the centers. There are three ways centers show up in the bodygraph – defined – colored in, undefined – white with only gates, open – no gates. Within each center there is a polarity and a dichotomy. The high expression and the low expression, particualy with the undefined centers (the white ones). The undefined centers are the places where we take on conditioning and end up in the not self. Of which, the mind, is the not-self spokesperson of these centers or the voice of the “should”. The conditioning comes from friends, family, coaches, those around us, society, culture norms, social media and more. When we are in the “not self” we are out of alignment with our strategy and authority. The not-self of the mind is a tricky thing because it wants to logic us. It’s sole purpose is to keep us alive. The mind, through the lens of human design, is here to be in service of others. It is not here to be used as a decision making tool for us to operate on ourselves. That is what our strategy and authority is for.

     

    The mind, is rational, reasonable, sense-making and logical. It yearns to do the thing or things that make the most sense based on what we have seen, read about or experienced. The mind operates from a place of fear and pressure. It is primitive in this sense even though it is very powerful (and convincing). For many of us we live in the place of “if this makes sense then it must be correct for me.” I know I have operated in this way in the past even when my gut was screaming for me to go in a different direction. The challenge with this is that our gut, intuition or inner knowing will often nudge us to do x and our mind ‘logics” us out of those decisions.

     

    When we leverage human design as tool we rely on our authority for our decision making process rather than the logic of our mind especially when it comes to our business. Our strategy – projector – wait for the invitation / recognition, generator – respond / know thyself, manifesting generator – visualize, respond &  then inform, manifestor – initiate / inform, reflector – wait a lunar cycle..

     

    Part of the reason I believe this to be so important, especially, for my fellow entrepreneurs is because when we are out of alignment we aren’t in the highest expression of ourselves. We will struggle to reach the full potential of who we are when we are in the not-self. The reality is when we leverage human design as a tool to look at where we are out of alignment it is because we have gotten lost somewhere along the way. We have fallen off track with our strategy and authority. We gave our power away. We outsourced our thinking. Ultimately leaving us in a place where we didn’t expect to be. We have taken on conditioning and our carrying something that is not ours. In our undefined centers we can take on layers and layers of conditioning along the way and we lose ourselves. We lose sight of our lighthouse.

    I love using the lighthouse here as a metaphor because if you think of what a lighthouse does it stands tall shining its light. If you think of your human design blueprint as a lighthouse and the light shining round and round from the lighthouse as your strategy and authority. When we take on layers and layers of conditioning we can get pulled out to sea and lose sight of our light. We lose sight of where we are and we have to come back home again to ourselves.

     

    So the mind and the not-self of the mind, it is here to keep us alive but it is not here to help us live out the fullest expression of our being. The mind is not here to help us fuel our passions and spark a fire within us. The mind is not for fulfilling your purpose. It is literally here for survival. So when we use our mind for decision making we betray our future selves. We betray our bigger purpose. We betray the impact, we as entrepreneurs want to make. However, our minds are brilliant tools when they are in service of the other. The mind is simply not here to operate on itself. Imagine if you broke your arm and you needed surgery. You wouldn’t try and operate on yourself. Next time your mind attempts to take over your strategy and authority think of this as operating on yourself. It’s not the best idea.

     

    Now let’s get back to the centers…For each of the centers the not-self of the mind, the “should’ing” is going to show up in a different way. For example:

     

    With the Head :

    • “ I should be further along”
    • “I should know more”
    • “I should be able to figure this out”
    • “I should get to work but I’ll just spend five more minutes scrolling”

     

    With the Ajna

    • “I should do this because this is what is normal / typical / standard for my industry”
    • “I shouldn’t do this because people will think I’m weird”
    • “I should do this because this is what’s expected of me in my industry.”
    • “I should know what to do next”

     

    With the Throat

    • “I should be showing up online and get more visible”
    • “I should be making Tik Toks or reels or (insert trend here)”
    • “I should be getting more likes/engagement/interaction”
    • “I shouldn’t bother showing up online no sees my stuff anyway”
    • “I should do this podcast interview because it’s going to get me exposure”

     

    With the Identity

    • “I should do it this way because x is doing it that way”
    • “I should have a 5 year plan for my business”.
    • “I should know what my purpose/strengths/passions/direction are”
    • “I should love what I do because it’s my business but…”
    •  

     

    With the Heart

    • “I should raise my prices”
    • “I should try this new thing/tech/trend because I don’t want to miss out”
    • “I should join this program because that is THE thing that will change the game for me.”
    • “I should do this thing because then they will finally see my worth/how valuable I am”

     

    With the Sacral

    • “I should do a course and a evergreen product and a ______ and a _________ (all the things)”
    • “I should keep working even though I’m exhausted
    • “I should be working since it is “work hours”
    • “I should set better boundaries with my clients but __________”
    • “I should stay focus on my goals but I fear I’m going to miss out if I don’t say yes / do this thing”

     

    With the Solar Plexus

    • “I should be happy”
    • “I should keep doing this because it is easy even though I hate it”
    • “I should go this route because I don’t want to waste all the effort I put in”
    • “I should go this route because I don’t want to upset / let my team / people down.”
    • “I should talk to x because I’m not happy but it’s easier just to do it myself”

     

    With the Spleen

    • “I should show up but I’m afraid I don’t know enough / not expert enough.”
    • “I should do x because Sarah does it that way and I fear if I don’t do it that way I won’t be successful.”
    • “I should pivot my business but I’m just going to keep holding on because I’m afraid of _____”
    • “I should do x but I’m afraid / overwhelmed / have anxiety about doing x because I might fail / be successful / have to let go”
    • “I should do this now instead of later because I fear I will _________”

     

    With the Root

    • “I should hurry up because I’m behind”
    • “I should do this because x is already doing it and I have to keep up”
    • “I should do ____________ even though I’m already stressed”
    • “I should do this because my clients/family/friends/person needs me”
    • “I should try this new thing even though it might sabotage this other thing I’m working on”
    • “I should be able to get past this block/level/limiting belief. What is wrong with me?

     

    When I hear that logic of the mind, that sense making, it is often a sign that the person is in their not self. They are should’ing themselves with reason why they should do this or that. Although intuitively they might not necessarily agree with their “should’ing”. In human design we rely on strategy and authority for our decision making process

     

    For example, I'm a projector with emotional authority. For me I first have to wait for the invitation and receive recognition from the other then I have to ride the highs and lows of my emotional wave and get to an emotional neutral. Once I am at that neutral, I can then discern if that is the right decision for me.

    I might be recognized to do this thing, but then I also have to ride my emotional wave to discern, is this actually the right thing for me to do? I recently got invited to write a chapter for a book. It is with a great publisher and I got the invite and recognition on why I would be the right expert and writer. So I can enter into this knowing I followed my strategy of waiting for the invitation and recognition.

     

    Now I have to lean into my emotional wave to discern do I actually want to do this? Is the timing right? Is this a yes for me.  I caught myself in the process in this “should’ing”. “I should do this because you know, this is going to help get me exposure”. The not self of the throat. I should do this because it's going to position me as an expert. Not self of the identity center. I should do this because the human design world is growing so fast and I have to keep up.” The not-self of the root center.

     

    All of these shoulds kept coming up and I had to get out of my not-self thinking and into my authority. I knew it was the right thing for me and I had 75% buy in however I wanted to make sure the timing was right and I could follow through on it. Ultimately, I said yes but I honored the highs and lows of my emotional wave before I committed.  

     

    For each type there is a strategy and an authority. Each authority corresponds to a spot to a center in the body. When we are in alignment of our strategy and authority the authority is being leverage to make decisions instead of the mind. When we are should’ing and logicing and sense making we are in the not-self of the mind in one of our centers. My goal in sharing all of this with you is that you can begin to recognize this in yourself with more ease, less resistance, and faster.

     

    When you leverage your mind for decision making instead of your authority you will often find yourself in frustration, anger, resentment or overwhelm. The mind is simply here to be in service of others and keep your alive from a primal survival level. It will always lead you astray in expressing the highest version of yourself.

     

    Ultimately what happens when we use our minds in service of our decision making in our businesses it becomes sort of a huge problem. Because one decision made by the mind, followed by another and another and another leads us out to sea where we can no longer see the light of our lighthouse. Instead we can lean into the innate inner knowing of our intuition, our gut response, our bodies, which is ultimately our authority. Our bodies hold the truth of what is best for us not the shoulding or logic or sense making of the mind. Just become something look good on paper doesn’t mean that is actually what sparks our passion and drive. That logic and should’ing is the not who you are. It is simply how you are experiencing the world based on conditioning you have taken on. That baggage, conditioning, not-self whatever you want to call it. The layers you are carrying that are not your. You can put them down. You can free yourself from the weight of conditioning with a bit of work.

     

    It's incredibly freeing once you put it down. I’ve been studying human design for three years now and living in alignment with my strategy and authority. I notice now with so much more speed when I am should’ing myself and When I’m out of alignment. That is because I’ve gotten to know myself better. I’ve gotten to know where I tend to take on conditioning and I’ve been working through peeling back all the layers of stuff that is not mine. Human design has given me a framework for my intuition. Language to understanding my uniqueness and process for how I’m best to interact with the world.

     

    This work takes time. It takes time to reestablish trust with our bodies when we have been relying on our minds for years. It takes time, repetition and a bit of belief in listening to your authority instead of our minds. In our culture we are programed to rely on our minds from a very early age. You woudn’t go to the gym for the first time in years and expect to be able to dead lift 250 pounds. The same goes for trusting your authority (and strategy). Start with small decisions first. Look back on your past lived experiences when things have worked out (or haven’t) and go step by step through what happened. Did you rely on your mind? Or did you trust your gut?

     

    I encourage you  to lean into that inner nudge, that voice within that spark, that passion, that fire, that thing that you want to do, that doesn't make sense because ultimately, that's probably the right thing for you. I invite you to lean in, lean into the knowing, lean into the nudge, lean into the spark, lean into the intuition because what, what would happen if instead of saying, you know, I should follow this blueprint because blah, blah, blah. And what if instead we blazed the trail. What we did things on our own terms and followed the thing that didn’t make sense.

     

    What if instead we just completely imagined a new business model or a new way to do things or a better way to serve our clients. What if we just put down the shoulds and really just embrace the possibilities. The possibility we can kind of create the life that we want to create and the business that we want to create on our own terms, when we stay true to who we are. If you are someone who wants to lean into your intuition, who wants a framework for that inner knowing, I encourage you to join me for the HD Your Biz Summer cohort in the in the next four weeks.

    The Manifesting Generator In Business

    The Manifesting Generator In Business
    The human design type manifesting generator accounts for 32% of the population. The manifesting generator is here to first visualize the outcome they want to achieve, then tap into their sacral response and then inform the key parties in their life of their actions.  In business, manifesting generators are best suited in a fast paced work environment where they can bounce from task to task, project to project since multi-tasking is their superpower. Manifesting generators are here to do work they love, work that brings them joy. They thrive in business when they can interact with different projects and people and can pursue multiple passions.  Manifesting generators need to balance time in relation, working alongside people and time alone. MG's move quickly and can feel slowed down by others however MG's need others in order to be successful.  A healthy manifesting generator is one who is tapped into their sacral response of un-huh (yes)  and ut-huh (no). They can literally feel the push and pull from within their bodies. It is almost as if they light up from within if something is a yes for them. Many adult manifesting generators struggle to connect with this feeling in their body. A great way to reconnect with a manifesting generator's sacral is to find someone you trust and have them ask the manifesting generator yes or no questions. This could be something as simple as, What do you want x for dinner? Your name is X? Are you x years old? Open-ended questions don't work well for a manifesting generator.

    Many of my clients are manifesting generators and they thrive when they have space and freeom to do what they want and oscilate between working with people and doing their own thing. Manifesting generators do not like to be tied down. They like their space and multi-tasking process. Do not try and change their process, it works for them. Manifesting Generators may seem to the outside world to be super human in what they can achieve since they are always working on multiple projects.

    The not-self theme of the manifestng generator is anger and frustration. If a manifesting generator is experiencing anger or  frustration then they are often out of alignment with their design. Frustration happens for manfiesting generators when often when they have said yes to something that was really a no or if they are feeling like other people are slowing them down and they would like to move faster. Anger happens for manifesting generators often when they have failed to inform the key people in their lives and created turbulance with their inner circle. MG's will often be angry when they are asked to focus instead of honoring their unique process of getting things down. Manifesting generators often like to move fast but they must balance this quick movement with understanding that to speed up they must first slow down and respond. An unaligned manifesting generator finds timeselves in a dance with the universe carefully visualizing the outcomes they desire, pausing to dance with the universe and then taking taking action. Of course, the caveat to this is the emotional authority manifesting generator. 

    In business, manifesting generators do best in envirornments that move quickly where they can multitask or are not stuck focusing on one project. For example, this could be in a mastermind envirornment where there are lots of people to interact with or with course where they can both teach, research/learn and then do. Manfiesting Generators are here to do work they love to do and they often see an interconnectedness between things that they other types might not see since their focus is more singular. Manifesting generators are often happy to work along doing their own thing for hours at a time. They apprecaite having freedom and don't like to have to be teethered to a computer for hours on end. Walk and talks are a great way for manfiesting generators to burn off their energy while also working/doing something they love.

    In summary, manifesting generator are amazing humans who have the ablity to multi-task. These individuals are multi-passionate, empowered and embody what it means to be an individual. They apprecaite freedom and do best when they pause before speeding up.

    The Human Design Generator in Business

    The Human Design Generator in Business
    The human design type generator accounts for 37% of the population. The generator is here to respond and to know themselves. In business, generators are best suited to do work they love, that brings them joy and they can lay their head on the pillow at night, exhausted, after a day well spent. They thrive in business when they get to go deep and do work that lights them up. Generators are deeply relational people, they love working with and getting to know others. Generators thrive when they can go deep with one task and stay focused, unlike the manifesting generator who thrives on multi-tasking. Generators do best when they don’t have to switch from task to task as they can often struggle to refocus.  A healthy generator is one who is tapped into their sacral response of un-huh (yes)  and ut-huh (no). They can literally feel the push and pull from within their bodies. It is almost as if they light up from within if something is a yes for them. Many adult generators struggle to connect with this feeling in their body. A great way to reconnect with a generator’s sacral is to find someone you trust and have them ask the generator yes or no questions. This could be something as simple as, What do you want x for dinner? Your name is X? Are you x years old? Open-ended questions don’t work well for a generator. My youngest is a generator and if I ask him, What do you want for breakfast? I get a deer in the headlights looks. However, if I asked him, do you want cheerios? I would get an immediate reaction that bubbles up from within. That is the sacral response. Often from a very young age generator children are told to “use their words”. This is the beginning of the conditioning of the sacral because the sacral response does not originate in the throat, it comes from within the gut.

    The not-self theme of the generator is frustration. If a generator is experiencing frustration then they are often out of alignment with their design. Frustration comes for generators when they have failed to respond. Many unaligned adult generators are in a near-constant state of frustration because they are behaving like manifestors and initiating. Generators are designed to be in a dance with the world and everything they do is in response to a stimulus. Generators often end up in frustration because they didn’t wait to respond and instead went ahead with an initiation. Generators will often feel a sense of frustration as well when they aren’t doing work that they love. This frustration is a great place to shine awareness on because this is a clear sign that they are out of alignment with their design or as I like to say, there is a flag on the field like in the NFL when a player gets a penalty. The sooner the generator can become aware that they are in their not self themes the sooner they can move into alignment.

    In business, generators do best in response. For example, this could be posting in a community what kind of content do you want to experience from me? Then answer the questions that come up. Or creating a program after hearing over and over again from clients, I’d love for you to do x. Of course, this assumes it is a sacral yes. Generators are here to do work they love and are passionate about This work should be deep relational and in connection with others. This connection lights them up. Generators crave depth and understanding. Honor that pull to go deep.

    In summary, generators are incredible beings who are here to move humanity forward with their contributions. Generators will have the energy to work, long and focused hours when they have found work they love.

    The Human Design Manifestor in Business

    The Human Design Manifestor in Business
    In episode 3, I am diving into the human design manifestor type in business. Manifestors account for 8% of the population. The manifestor strategy is to initiate and inform. Their signature theme is peace, and when they are in the not-self, they experience anger. While initiating may come very naturally to manifestors, informing may not for fear of being controlled. Informing is simply a way for the manifestor to avoid resistance in their relationships. Manifestors have a powerful and piercing aura. They are change-makers and catalysts for change; however, this can often make people feel on edge around the manifestor.  Manifestors do not like to be controlled since their potent and piercing aura often gets shut down by the adults in their lives from a very early age. Manifestors want to go where the wind will take them, so as children, this often gets them into situations where they fail to inform the adults in their life. They end up creating turbulence for themselves because of their initiation. 

    Many adult manifestors in business have to reconnect with their initiating power. Manfiestors by design like to do catalytic work that is often short-term. They prefer business containers where they can get in, get change and get out. Their tremendous initiating power wears out, and as non-energy beings, they need to rest. While manifestors are strong starters, they struggle to finish. Many manfiestors loathe having to go back and finish things because they skipped steps, so pairing up with a generator with high attention to detail is essential. 

    Manifestors are powerful beings when healthy. An aligned manifestor sparks change and impact for good in the world. When a manfiestor is out of alignment, they often will experience anger. This anger is typically rooted in the fact that they created resistance for themselves in their close relationships because they failed to inform. This is especially challenging for entrepreneurial manifestors since they get these brilliant ideas and simply want to run with them. Anger also erupts for the manifestor when they are being controlled. Manfiestors thrive on doing their own thing, in their way, on their terms. 

    Manifestors are very self-contained and don't see why others would worry about what they are doing. They can seem like a lone wolves. That is because they are the only type that is here to start things and initiate. Generators and manfiestoring generators, who are both very relational beings, are here responding to the manifestors initiations. 

    Manfiestors thrive when they write down a list of people in their inner circle to inform. This informing is not about changing what the manifestor is doing but simply for the sake of letting someone know. Especially since some of the initiations, a manifestor, may come out of the blue. This informing is merely to keep others in touch with what the manfiestor is doing. The manfiestor, when healthy and aligned with their design, will feel a sense of peace at the end of the day.

    The Human Design Projector in Business

    The Human Design Projector in Business
    In episode 2, I begin my deep dive into the projector type in business in the human design system. There are five types in the human design system, projector, manifestor, manifesting generator, generator and reflector. Type is how you are designed to interact with the world.  On today's episode, I discuss the projector type in detail including the projector strategy to wait for the invitation or the recogniation, the projector not-self of bitterness, resentment and burnout and the projector in marketing. 

    Twenty percent of the population is a projector. Projectors are not here to work in the traditional sense of the word, they are here to be guides and leaders in the new world we are naviagiting. Projectors who allow themselves to be seen and show up in alignement with their design will find their signature theme of success because the recognition and invitations will flow for them. Waiting for the invitiation (or recognition) is the projector strategy and they will often be met with resistance if they don't first wait for the invitaiton especially when offering up unsolicited advice. 

     

    The not-self theme of the projector is bitterness and restenment which is often when they have not waited for an invitation or they have settled for one that doesn't feel right. It may in fact on paper look good but something about it is off. Projectors should never settle. Their energy is potent, powerful and they love to go deep. So making sure they say yes to the right invitiations is key for them to living in congruence with their design. Invitations will not stop flowing when projectors are allowing themselves to be seen in congruence with their design. 

    In marketing and business projectors need to show up in order to receive invitations. Showing up for them means following the flow of their potent energy and sharing when they feel called. Projectors want to go deep with people so creating community is important. While consistency may not be their strength, depth is. Projectors will show up and create one powerful, potent post and then wait a week. This works for them and honors their energy. Projectors are here to show us a new way to work in the world and through out the traditional sense of the word work. 

    In terms of a business model projectors should create a business where they go deep with people while also honoring the ebbs and flows of their energy and allowing for periods of rest. Designing a business around this is key for the projector to avoid burnout. 

    While projectors are not working they should be allowing themsevles to pursue their passions and doing deep. This doesn't necessarily mean resting on the couch, it could mean backpacking outdoors or whatever the projector is passionate about.

    My Journey With Human Design

    My Journey With Human Design

    Hello Everyone and Welcome to the first episode of the HD Your Biz Podcast! I am your host Jamie Palmer and I am excited to share with you more about human design, building a business based on who you are as a person and supporting in putting down the conditioning you've been carrying. My goal with this podcast is to share with you the wild world of human design, support you in building a strengths aligned strategy that feels good on the inside and build a business with flow, abundance and impact. 

    My journey with human design began back in 2019 and the deeper I dove the more logical it became to the point where I simply couldn't unsee human design. I began leveraging for myself and I watched as my world radically tranformed in a very short period of time. I then began leveraging human design with my kids and my family, then clients. Their transformations were nothing short of amazing. 

    The more I dove deeper into the depths of human design, the more "sense" it made. To the point where, I have now put it at the forefront of how I support my clients in building a life and business they love. 

    In human design there are 5 types, projector, manifestor, manifesting generator, generator and reflector. Type is how you interact with the world. 

    There are 12 profiles composed of 6 different lines. A profile will be something like 3/5 or 6/2. Profile is the baseline for your personality. 

    There are 7 authorities. Authority is your decision making style. 

    There are 9 centers based on the chakra system The head, ajna, throat, identity, heart, spleen, sacral, solar plexus and root. 

    There are 64 gates and 32 channels which give depth to your personality and energy you have consistent access to. 

    All of this makes up your human design blueprint. 

    My intention with this podast is to help educate you on what human design is, while holding space for you to make discoveries, putting down the weight of conditioning that you may be carrying and build a business you love based on who you are as a person. 

    I want you to throw all the shoulds, this is the way its been done, and imagine what life could be like if you only worked to your strengths. 


    I firmly believe that if each one of us can become more of who we are menat to be this world would be a better place. 

    This is the HD Your Biz Podcast. Let's live life (and biz) in high definition using your unique human design blueprint.
