Ep. 13: Willpower Authority: Is Your Heart Really In It?
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you want to. And in Human Design, that distinction is especially important for people with Willpower Authority.
Also called Ego or Heart Authority, this rare decision-making authority is all about desire, motivation, and making commitments your heart is genuinely behind.
In this episode of Human Design Field Notes, we're exploring what it means to follow your willpower, why being a little selfish might actually be a good thing, and how to tell the

Ep. 12: Splenic Authority: The Whisper
What if you could know whether something was right for you, in an instant, without being able to explain why? In Human Design, Splenic Authority is all about intuition, instinct, and knowing in the present moment. Unlike Emotional Authority, which needs time, Splenic Authority is immediate. But there's a catch: it's incredibly quiet, and that intuitive knowing can disappear almost as quickly as it arrives. In this episode of Human Design Field Notes, we're exploring what Splenic Authority feels

Ep. 11: Sacral Authority: The Gut Just Knows
If you have Sacral Authority, your body has a remarkably simple way of telling you yes or no, often before your mind has had a chance to weigh in. Sacral Authority belongs to Generators and Manifesting Generators, and it’s all about learning to recognize your body’s immediate response to what’s in front of you. In this episode, we explore: What Sacral Authority is and who has it Why your Sacral response can be thought of as an energy-allocation system helping you recognize what you actually h

Ep. 10: Emotional Authority: Why You’re Not Meant to Decide in the Moment
Do you need time to make a decision? Even when everyone around you seems to know exactly what they want? You might have Emotional Authority. In this episode, we’re beginning our series on Authority: your Human Design decision-making system. And we’re starting with Emotional Authority, the most common authority in Human Design. If you have Emotional Authority, clarity doesn’t necessarily arrive in the moment. You’re designed to experience your emotional wave, to move through the excitement, do

Ep. 9: Field Notes - Breaking Business Rules (by following my design)
What happens when you stop following all the rules about how you’re supposed to build a business and start paying attention to how you’re actually designed to work? Welcome to the first Field Notes episode. Alongside the Human Design teaching episodes, I’m taking you behind the scenes as I rebuild my coaching business using my own Human Design.

Ep. 8: The Village of 100: A Human Design Story
We’ve spent the last five episodes exploring each of the Human Design energy types individually. But Human Design isn’t just about understanding your own type. It’s also about understanding how all of our different energies work together. So in this mini episode, we’re zooming out. Using a village of 100 people, I’ll show you what happens when we put all five energy types together and give everyone a role to play. In this episode, we’ll explore: How Manifestors initiate and get new ideas mov

Ep. 7: The Reflector Energy Type
Reflectors are the rarest energy type in Human Design, making up only about 1% of the population. With all nine energy centres undefined, they are incredibly receptive to the people, energy, and environments around them, giving them a unique ability to reflect back what is happening in a group, relationship, or community. In this episode, we’re breaking down Reflector energy in a simple, practical way, including: What makes Reflectors so rare and different from every other energy type Why Ref

Ep 6: The Projector Energy Type
Projectors are the guides, seers, teachers, and leaders of our world. With an incredible ability to see deeply into people and systems, they often recognize patterns, possibilities, and problems that everyone else misses. But Projectors aren’t designed to use their energy like the majority of the population. Understanding that difference can change everything. In this episode, we’re breaking down Projector energy in a simple, practical way, including: What makes Projector energy different fro

Ep. 5: The Manifesting Generator Energy Type
Manifesting Generators, or Mani Gens, are the fast-moving, multi-passionate energy type of Human Design. They have the sustainable sacral energy of a Generator combined with the initiating energy of a Manifestor, which means they’re often here to do things a little differently, and rarely in a straight line. In this episode, we’re breaking down Manifesting Generator energy in a simple, practical way, including: Why Mani Gens tend to be multi-passionate, fast-moving, and constantly evolving Th
