These inspiring themes are a lo ..read more

The Choices We Make Our life experience is directly created by the choices we make. In every moment of every day, we have many options from which to choose. The choices we make, both large and small, determine the path we take… and the paths we don’t take. What if you could consistently and reliably make choices that lead you along the path that is specifically correct for YOU. This “method” would automatically align your choices with your energetic blueprint and with the mission and purpose of your life. What if it just took a little practice to get good at using this way of decision making ..read more

Are you curious about other people’s experiences with Human Design? Do you like hearing a good story? My friend, colleague, and fellow Projector Kathy Bochonko has a weekly interview series called Sunday Story Hour where she talks to people in the Human Design community about how they got started with Human Design and how it has impacted their lives. Recently, Kathy interviewed me for her Sunday Story Hour and we had a lively and fun conversation. Click the image above or click this link to watch the video recording of our conversation. You’ll learn about how I first came across and got inter ..read more

Photo by Jordan Ladikos on Unsplash Here’s a life lesson from my own experience that I hope will serve you. Sometimes life throws us a few curve balls just to make sure we remember how to pivot. By pivot, I mean… adapt, course-correct, go to Plan B, or just plain accept that something happened that you don’t like or didn’t want but can’t change. The good news is that those little reminders keep our “pivot muscles” toned so we are more resilient when the bigger challenges come our way. In the fall of 2022, I was traveling to visit family and speak at that year’s International Human Design Confe ..read more

My bestselling book Becoming an Empowered Projector – Thrive with Wisdom and Guidance from Human Design is available in print format, ebook/Kindle format, and now in audiobook format.

Sometimes, we just need to give ourselves some grace. We humans are so hard on ourselves. When was the last time you were really kind and compassionate… to yourself? You are probably much kinder and more patient with others–unless you happen to hold them to the same unattainably high standards as you hold yourself. On top of that, we are immersed in a constantly swirling world of comparisons, judgments, accusations, consequences, and guilt. Sometimes, we just need a little slack and some compassion. The concept of grace and surrendering to grace lives primarily in Gate 22 (at the top side of t ..read more

This book is written for Projectors and those who love Projectors. As you may know, I have a passion for helping my fellow Projectors (I am a 1/3 Projector with Splenic Authority) through the amazing tool of Human Design. My new book, Becoming an Empowered Projector, has been a true labor of love and I am beyond excited that it can now be in the hands of people who can benefit from its content. As I pondered how to structure the book, many months ago, I realized that we needed to start with knowing Who We Are. That alone, when understood fully, can be inspiring and empowering. There are a lot ..read more

This is an excerpt from my book Becoming an Empowered Projector. While the book is about and primarily for Projectors, it addresses the context in which Projectors operate in this world–which includes all the other Types! This piece is from Chapter 1, Projector Role and Aura, and it describes all 5 different auras and how they work. ************************* Each Human Design Type has its own aura configuration which establishes the nature of how each Type interacts with the world. The aura is the holistic energy field that surrounds and emanates from a person. From a quantum perspective, it i ..read more

If you are a Projector yourself or you love a Projector, you know that being a Projector can be challenging in this world where Generators and Manifesting Generators are the majority (~70%) of the population. They, understandably, set the norms and expectations. All people with an open Sacral Center (which includes Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors) are not designed to meet those norms and expectations. You can see the problem! As a Projector myself, I’ve struggled with the classic challenges of the Projector: inconsistent energy, burnout, trouble getting a job, not feeling heard or reco ..read more

If you are emotionally Open (the large triangle on lower right of your chart is white), THE most powerful thing you can do to avoid the pain and overwhelm… and maximize the wisdom… associated with this emotional energy center is to apply this mantra:  Be a screen, not a sponge. This means you allow all the emotional energy–which you naturally take in and amplify from people with Defined Emotional Centers around you–to flow right through you like a breeze blowing through a screen door. Don’t absorb those emotions and hold on to them like a sponge. Holding them usually feels bad and leads y ..read more
