Ever feel like you're meant to lead but just want to be left alone? If that tug-of-war sounds familiar, you might be living the 5/2 experience. In this episode, Nicole unpacks the complexity of the Heretic Hermit profile—a powerful yet often misunderstood combination in Human Design.

You'll explore how the 5/2 operates with both projected lines, why its gifts must be self-recognized before they can truly shine, and what makes this profile fundamentally different from the 5/1. Nicole explains how the tension between public expectation and private genius can create confusion—and how understanding this pattern can unlock clarity, especially in how you show up in your purpose and business.

Expect eye-opening insights on projection, self-recognition, and why authority is non-negotiable for the 5/2. Nicole also shares famous 5/2s who exemplify the profile’s quiet strength and influential presence in the world.

Whether you're a 5/2 or just fascinated by how Human Design shapes expression and leadership, this episode offers a fresh perspective you won't want to miss.
