That Projector Life
That Projector Life is the podcast for Human Design Projectors who are ready to learn and live their unique design. Hosted by 1/3 Self-Projected Projector Ardelia Lee, this show is all about exploring what it means to be a Projector from a practical standpoint.
You're invited to listen in and dive into the foundations of the Human Design system - along with uniquely Projector topics like waiting for the invitation and recognition. We'll also cover how you can apply what you're learning to your life (practical application is the name of the game).

159. How to Explore Human Design Gates
In this episode of That Projector Life, we're doing a deeper dive into the gates and how to understand them. I'll walk you through the process I use when looking at gates in a Human Design chart so you can begin to understand the deeper impact that your gates can have. We'll look at the layers present in each gate and move through the most noticeable ones - the gate itself, the planet(s) in the gate, and the line number. As we move through each layer, we'll talk about how the one below it impacts the big picture and how the energy of the gate plays out. After listening to this episode, take some time to move through each of your gates and both explore and contemplate how that gate shows up in your life given the layers we've explored here. You may have some major ah-has as you do this work. Show Notes Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped! (I've just moved platforms).

158. Honoring Your Energy With Luisa Molano
In this episode, I'm joined by Luisa Molano, a certified executive coach and spiritual guide to heart-centered business owners. Our discussion is wide-ranging and centers on all things Projector, both life and business. Luisa has such a unique approach to her emotional authority and working with and honoring her energy, and she shares her process of grounding with us. She also walks us through her coming to Human Design and her experience with the system as a whole plus how she uses the system in her own business with clients. Luisa also shares a ground-breaking way of looking at social media - one that I thoroughly enjoyed and have since played with myself. And our conversation about social media naturally led into creating as a Projector, as that's something Luisa is passionate about. So we hear how she creates as an aligned Projector with an undefined Throat. And speaking of the centers, Luisa shares how she's shifted her perspective on those open ones - viewing them not as a weakness but as a strength. This conversation was such a blast to have. Luisa has a very calming energy that really invites you to settle in and join the discussion. If you want to connect with Luisa, check out her links below.

157. Coming Back to Yourself With Simran Sondhi
In this episode, I'm joined by Splenic Projector Simran Sondhi, a self-described Bridge who connects people with the path they were born to follow. Of course, we explore all things related to that Projector life and allow the conversation to flow where it will. We hear how Simran found Human Design and how she's worked with the system - including how her work with it has changed as she's learned and experimented. Simran also shares about her experience in the corporate world as a non-energy Projector with lots of Individual energy - and how she's used that to her advantage in her current business. We also explore how Simran works with her clients by blending Human Design with other modalities as well as her unique approach to readings and understanding charts. I had such a delightful time chatting with her, and I hope that this episode brings you joy and ah-has. I know I had some while we were talking.

156. My 4 Scandalous Business Realizations
I've had some rather interesting business realizations over the past few weeks, and I wanted to put them all together so I could share them with you. I know we're all searching for "The Solution" to being a Projector in business. And while I haven't found it, I have discovered several things that have changed my business journey - and my life. We're starting our episode by talking about money and income goals because, though hustle culture has mostly gone the way of the dinosaurs, it continues to cast a long shadow over the online business space. We'll also look at the role of business in my life and where it fits - because that's been another big realization I've had. I'm also highlighting and exploring my new approach to both business and life in that I'm no longer pushing for things. So I'll talk about that and how it's played out in my business and what it looks like so far. Finally, we'll touch on some business rules you can break. In recording this episode, I've realized that there's so much conditioning we have around business - and that adds to the conditioning we already receive from being a Projector. I would love to hear any realizations you've had - either from listening to this episode or from your Projector journey. Show Notes Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

155. Let's Talk About Invitations. Again.
Invitations are a central part of being a Projector, and understanding them (and how to work with them) can be difficult. In this episode, we're once again looking at invitations, waiting, and understanding the energetic exchange that happens. I'll talk about some things I haven't yet when it comes to invitations - like how waiting can suck and be really uncomfortable. We'll also explore the idea of what I'm now calling "knee-jerk invitations" - invitations that happen without real recognition because Projectors understand how difficult it can be to wait for an invitation. So we decide to simply offer that person the invitation they want. (I've done it, too.) Finally, we'll talk about how difficult this whole Projector thing can be. Because it's not always unicorns and butterflies - though if that's been your experience so far, that's wonderful! This episode ended up being quite heavy, and I didn't intend for that, but I supposed sometimes you have to strap on your scuba tanks and go deep. And that's what we're doing here. We're exploring some uncomfortable ideas and taking a hard look at ourselves and how we work with invitations in an honest, aligned way. Ready to reflect? Listen to the episode now.

154. The Ultimate Human Design Starting Guide
We're doing something a little different in this episode and going over the basics of Human Design. So if you're brand new to the system, this episode will give you a high-level overview of the system and what you can expect when you start working with it. We'll cover your Strategy and Authority and what "Listen to your Strategy and Authority" actually means (because I don't think I've ever broken it down before). While this episode won't be a deep dive of specific strategies and authorities, I've included a list of recommended podcast episodes that you can listen to if you want to go deeper into a specific topic in this episode. This episode will also touch on the Tribalism in Human Design (you know I had to), as well as some recommended resources and other places where you can get some amazing Human Design info.

153. Trusting Splenic Flow With Jonathan McLean
Join our Splenic Projector guest Jonathan McLean and me for this super fun and entertaining episode of That Projector Life. Jonathan shares his experience as a Splenic Projector in business and in life, pairing that with his willpower and how he's learned to work with it (and not let it get the better of him). We also dive into his channels and talk a little about tribalism and how it plays out in the world, but Jonathan makes a good point that the tribe is super important to humanity and our current place in the world. Finally, we segue into talking about how Projectors interact with the different Human Design types, and we share our experiences working with (or raising in my case) the different types.

152. Navigating Social Media as a Projector
This episode of That Projector Life focuses on navigating social media as a Projector. We're going to blend both business strategy and Human Design energy to help you create a plan that works for you. (Even if that plan is having no plan at all! What? Scandalous!) As you can see, we're focusing on keeping social media fun and allowing your energy to shine, because when you're really in your element, that's when you're most magnetic. So while I will offer business strategy tips like use good SEO, I'll also highlight (several times) that following your energy and listening to your authority is so important when it comes to social media. Also, don't ever forget that social media companies want to make money. They prioritize that over pretty much everything else. So if you don't see the success you want just yet - and you're doing everything correctly - it's not you. It's the social media companies and their quest for more profit.

151. Rocking the Boat With Fiona Wong
I'm so excited to sit down and chat with Fiona Wong! Fiona is a 3/5 Self-Projected Projector with amazing experiences and insights into being a Projector. We have such a blast as we talk about how Fiona found Human Design and what her experience in business has been like. I got to ask Fiona some of my FAQs and listen to her response. She specifically answered questions around invitations (something I know Projectors can never hear enough about) and marketing as a Projector (again, typically a hot topic). Fiona also shared something that blew my mind about Self Projected Projectors. Apparently, there's a unique way that we manifest! So join me and Fiona as we chat about all things Projector and enjoy each other's company. (And yeah, we do rock the boat a little and go into some not-so-tribal-approved things in Human Design.)

This is a chance for me to share the biggest insights, ah-has, and reflections I've had so far.

I throw in some related tangents here and there. What's a That Projector Life episode without a trip out to left field?
