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).

149. Recognition vs Validation
What's the difference between recognition and validation? We're diving into that very question in this episode! Recognition is crucial to Projectors. It's like air to us. We need it to really step into our full Projector superpowers and impact those around us. But where does validation come in? Does it matter? And isn't it basically another form of recognition? I'm walking through both recognition and validation - talking about how they're similar and the differences between them. So if you've often wondered about this - recognition vs validation - tune into the episode to learn my view on the matter. We'll also talk about how not to get caught up in chasing external validation (because that's not a good use of our energy). Tune into the episode to learn more!

148. How I Integrate Human Design
We're taking a look at the process I go through when I'm learning about something new, especially in Human Design. I've recently realized that I move through two phases (well, it's probably more, but I'm keeping it simple for now). First, I start with mentally understanding and processing a new topic. Then, I begin to shift that understanding from my mind into my being through applying what I've learned. I observe myself (and sometimes the world around me) to solidify and more deeply understand what I've learned. That's why I haven't gone terribly deep into many Human Design topics (think the more in-depth ones like tone or base). Because I simply don't have the embodied understanding that I need to really share the information in a meaningful way. So as I share this process with you, I want to challenge you and invite you to think about where you are in your own understanding journey in Human Design. Where do you hold the information? And are you really living it? Each answer is personal and unique to you and how you operate, so take some time and reflect. Show Notes Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

147. How to Thrive as a Non-Energy Projector
It's been a long time since a new TPL episode has been released, but we're finally diving into some Projector goodness once again. We're looking specifically at non-energy Projectors and how to thrive without any motor centers. I'll share some tips that I've discovered in my journey (and yes, we'll talk about strategy and authority as well). We'll talk about what a non-energy Projector is and how to tell if you are one. After that, I'll share where I've been and what's come up for me that brought about this episode. Finally, we'll dive into some practical strategies that non-energy Projectors can use to get the most from their very limited energy. (And yes, one of those practical strategies is going to be resting more - because Projectors in general just do too much.) Ready to learn how to work with your lack of motor centers?

146. How to Choose a Human Design Teacher
There are so many people out there teaching and talking about Human Design. How can you possibly find one that's aligned for you? That's what this episode is all about. Everyone has a different approach to Human Design, and that's a good thing! It means you can find a mentor who aligns with you. But what factors should you consider when making this decision? (Besides your authority, of course!) Perhaps a better phrasing would be what factors should you allow your authority to feel into? We'll explore some of the most important factors I recommend considering, especially when you're thinking about joining a certification program or even just purchasing a reading. Remember that everyone's approach will be different, and it's important for you to feel safe, recognized, and heard when you're working with someone. So keep that in mind as we dive into this episode. Even if someone checks all the boxes, but they feel off, trust your energy. (And definitely feel free to apply all of these factors to me, too. I'm not exempt.) Let's get into how you can choose a Human Design teacher! Show Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped! (I've just moved platforms).

145. How to Create Business Systems as a Projector
In this episode, we're talking about why and how to set up business systems. Honestly, these guys are the backbone of my business. They do the heavy lifting for me while I'm creating other content or resting. I use automated emails the most (think funnels or sequences) to connect further with people who sign up for my freebies. So we'll dive into how you can use automated systems like funnels without feeling sleazy. (And yes, it's totes possible). We'll also talk about viewing your business systems as a whole and how each part works together. And that doesn't always include automation. For example, my podcast is part of my marketing system, and there's no automation here! Ready to dive into business systems as a Projector? Listen to the episode!

144. How to Create Sales Pages as a Projector
In this episode, I walk you through my recommendations for Projectors who want to create sales pages. Not surprisingly, we're blending both business strategy and your energy here, so I'll have suggestions for both. I'll cover whether or not Projectors can create sales pages (spoiler alert?) and then talk about the difference between a Projector's sales page and a Generator's or Manifestor's sales page. I'll also talk about using your energy on your sales page and how my design is influencing the advice I'm offering. Finally, we'll look at how you can energetically approach your sales page to lessen some of the stress and pressure around it. Ready to learn about sales pages for Projectors? Listen in!

143. Exploring the Non-Linear Human Design Journey
In this episode, I'm looking at my very non-linear Human Design journey and sharing a bit more of it with you. Specifically, we'll be looking at deconditioning both your strategy and authority and your open centers. Over the past few weeks, I've been able to realize and then process the fact that deconditioning happens in layers. And while I knew that the process itself wasn't linear, the way the layers have shown up have been interesting. So I'll share about my heart center - the current center that I'm once again observing and deconditioning. It's so important that we realize that Human Design isn't going to be a linear journey - and the HD system itself is so complex and deep that it makes sense to decondition in layers. I'm hoping that this episode will inspire you to dig a little deeper and see what other conditioning you can uncover in your open centers. Also, I'm of the opinion that being a Projector with lots of open centers is a lot like gopher bash - but not in a bad way! Having a lot of open centers means there are more opportunities to learn about yourself and the world around you. Show Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

142. Navigating Life as a Mental Projector With Brdiget Cooper
In this episode, I'm joined by Bridget Cooper, a Mental Projector, life coach, and alignment guide. We have a great conversation that covers so many topics! We start off with Bridget's story and how she came to find Human Design and her experience with it. We also talk about navigating the tribe as a Projector with an open heart. Bridget shares her experience and offers some great wisdom for those of us without Tribal energy. In talking with Bridget, I'm also able to better develop an understanding of Mental Projectors. So if you're an MP, hopefully you'll resonate with what Bridget says as she explains the sounding board authority. We also talk about the open G Center and the defined G Center and how they differ.

141. How to Handle a Lack of Motivation
I'm finally back! And I'm talking briefly about where I've been before we dive into the episode. We're actually blending some psychology (don't worry - nothing scary) with Human Design. We'll start out by looking at the motivation cycle I found through Noom. I'll talk about each phase and how it can show up in our lives (with both business and Human Design examples). Then I'll talk about how we can identify which stage of the motivational cycle we're in and how we can work through that, especially when it comes to a lack of motivation. However, it's important to remember that motivation isn't consistent - even if you're an energy Projector. It's also necessary sometimes to simply allow yourself to not be motivated. We'll talk about finding the proper balance for you at the end of the episode. Show Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped! (I've just moved platforms).

140. Being the Episode in Which I Finally Open the Membership
In this episode, I walk you through everything you need to know about the That Projector Life Membership, which opens today. We'll talk about the three courses currently included in the membership - Sales Pages for Projectors, Content Strategy for Projectors, and Attract Epic Invitations. We'll also talk pricing for the membership, why I decided to create a membership, and my intentions for the membership and how it supports you as a Projector. This is less of a Human Design/Projector-focused episode and more of a "here's what I've been working on and here's the info you need to make an aligned decision about whether it's right for you or not" episode. And yes, this title (and some of the episode) is poking fun at my taking such a long time to get this created. Because it's ok to take longer than you want to create something, and we all need some help accepting that...but it doesn't mean we can laugh a little about it.
