Episode notes

Do you ever wonder why you do what you do…and if it’s just you who does it?

Your gifts, your life’s mission, how much energy you have, what you need in relationships, how you view money – these are all unique to you.

And according to Human Design, you are the way you are for a special reason.

Unlike personality typing systems based on mental or behavioral patterns, Human Design is a system based on energy and what was going on in the universe when you were born. Though there are five main “types” within Human Design, it’s a very dynamic system that will help you understand what makes you you and what you need to thrive.

I’ve been hearing tons of buzz about Human Design recently, and in this episode, I talk with Human Design coach (and overall delightful human), Emma Dunwoody, about what Human Design is and how it can help us better embrace our true selves.

Not only does Emma answer all my questions about Human Design, but she also helped me decode my chart, and let me tell you – I felt so seen, validated and free to be myself once I understood I’m exactly who I’m meant to be (and you are too!).

Listen to discover:

What Human Design is
The difference between Human Design and other personality systems
How Human Design can change your life
How to decode your own Human Design chart
The five Human Design types
What "functional burnout" is
How Human Design can help us in dating and relationships
What Human Design teaches us about money

As you know from The Adult Chair®, we are all a kaleidoscope of parts, talents and experiences.

Human Design is a fun, insightful tool to help us understand a little bit more about who we are — not to put us in a box but to give us permission to embrace and be our true selves.

Because all those things that only you do? They make you uniquely lovable YOU, and the world wouldn’t be the same without you.
