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).

139. Are You a Good Projector?
We're doing something a little different in this episode. We're looking at this idea of a "good" Projector and then blowing it up - debunking it - throwing it in the trash - whatever you want to call it. This episode covers a lot of different issues that - to me at least - impact this idea of a "good" Projector. We'll talk about Projectors and work, the high standards that we as Projectors put on ourselves, and the fact that our value isn't tied to them. We'll also talk about how Projectors as a type tend to be misunderstood and disempowered by the other types. I'll be honest - this episode was emotional and heavy for me, and I didn't expect that. I also want to be clear that I harbor no ill-will towards anyone. This episode is me expressing my frustration with things I've seen and realized in my HD journey so far. And I want to share these realizations with you so they can inform your journey. Show Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped! (I've just moved platforms).

138. Finding the Everyday Flow as a Projector
We're taking a step into the everyday life of a Projector in this episode. I'll share the realization that I've had over the past few months that's changed how I operate on a daily basis. (This is also what I recommend to Projectors during Human Design readings.) This episode looks at how Projectors can operate and remain in their strategy and authority on a daily basis. Because invitations tend to be few and far between, Projectors are largely left to figure out how to operate between invitations on their own. While I've released a podcast episode or two on how to wait (episode 70), I wanted to revisit this topic on a deeper, more energy-focused level in light of my recent realization. The information in this episode comes from my personal experiences and my observations of my own energy in recent months. Feel free to take this with a grain of salt, and as always, I recommend experimenting with and observing your own energy and authority to find what works best in the everyday for you. I also recommend not pushing - because when Projectors push things tend to not go well. (Although you can def experiment with that as well.)

137. Exploring the Integration Circuit in Human Design
This episode sees us continuing our journey through the Individual Circuit as we explore the Integration Circuit. Contrary to anything I said in the episode, the Integration Circuit is part of the Individual Circuit - it's just a very special and unique part of it. (As life would have it, I had this realization after recording the episode and didn't have the energy to edit the audio portion.) The Integration Circuit differs slightly from the Individual Circuit in that it focuses more on self-empowerment. Remember that the Individual Circuit is all about empowerment - but people who are Individuals are so because they're here to mutate the Tribe and the Collective through example. So by an Individual being themselves, they bring mutation and empowerment to others. In the Integration Circuit, the focus is self-empowerment, meaning that the channels here encourage people to live - and survive - as themselves.

136. Mutating With the Individual Circuit Part 2
This week, we finish up the Individual Circuit in Human Design. Our focus is on the Knowing Circuit and the channels within it. The Knowing Circuit is interesting. As it's part of Individual energy, it's here to mutate and evolve the Tribe and the Collective. But it does so in an interesting way. People with definition in the Knowing Circuit are here to be empowered to live as themselves. And by living as their most true selves, they empower others to do the same, bringing mutation to the Tribe and Collective. This tends to be more of a "show don't tell" affair in the Knowing Circuit. People with energy here need an audience so they can show how they're living as themselves. But the individual won't always have the knowing they desire - it comes and goes. And we'll dive more into that in this episode. The information for this episode primarily came from The Definitive Book of Human Design by Ra Uru Hu and Lynda Bunnell.

135. Mutating With the Individual Circuit Part 1
We're continuing our deep dive into Human Design circuit groups, focusing on the mutating powers of individual energy. The Individual Circuit group is interesting. It's full of mutation-focused energy that pushes both the Tribe and the Collective to evolve. However, the challenge of the Individual is to be accepted by the groups it wishes to evolve. We'll focus on the Individual Circuit as a whole today and talk about its role in both Human Design and in humanity as a whole. Then we'll head into the Centering Circuit and explore the two channels present there. Don't forget, all the links mentioned in the show are below in the show notes.

134. Experiencing the Collective Through the Sensing Circuit
Our second week in the Collective Circuit brings us to the Sensing Circuit. It can be difficult to believe that the Sensing Circuit group is part of Collective energy because it's so different from Logic energy. The Sensing Circuit is focused on experiences, even if those experiences seemingly defy Logic. We're in the Solar Plexus with this circuit group. This is all about emotions as fuel for new experiences, for learning all we can during those experiences, and for sharing them with others. The thing that ties the Sensing Circuit and the Logic Circuit together in Collective energy is the keynote of sharing. Both circuit groups are compelled to share what they learn - whether they've learned about a pattern, or a new experience. The Sensing Circuit, with its drive for new experiences - and its ability to reflect on the lessons learned afterward - holds a very important part in humanity's evolution. Some of our most profound truths have come as a result of the Sensing Circuit's desire to reflect and share. Show Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

133. Understanding Collective Energy Through Logic
We're continuing our journey through Human Design Circuitry by diving into the Collective Circuit. This week, we're focusing on the Logic Circuit, the pattern-focused half of the Collective Circuit. The Logic Circuit - and the channels in it - are focused on finding and identifying patterns. Seeing what works (and what doesn't) over time is the strength of this circuit group. The awareness centers that we're dealing with here are the Spleen and the Ajna - and because we're in logical energy, everything is very black and white. The pattern either works or it doesn't. Another thing to note about the Collective in general is the need for patience. The Collective wants to know that the pattern works over time. The Logic Circuit group is focused on pushing humanity forward through evaluation of patterns. If the pattern works and is good for the many, we'll keep it.

132. Exploring Tribal Circuitry in Human Design
This episode is going to be info-heavy. I'm dusting off some basic Human Design info and going deep with it. We'll briefly talk about circuitry in Human Design and how it impacts us, and then we'll dive directly into the Tribal Circuit Group and its two "subcircuits" - the Defense Circuit and the Ego Circuit. The Tribal Circuit Group is so interesting in terms of how it works and its role in humanity's evolution. The Tribe is the glue that holds us together - and you can feel that Tribal pull even if you don't have many Tribal gates. We'll talk about the channels in each of the Tribal Circuits and how they impact those who have them and those who don't. We'll also cover how you may feel if you have a lot of Tribal energy vs if you don't have a lot of Tribal energy. This was such a fun episode to record! I hope you enjoy it!

131. Revisiting Invitations
We're finally talking about invitations again! This episode came about because I'm human, and as I've continued to live as a Projector, I've learned and grown. I've also discovered new things about invitations - and have some common questions I get about them. So in this episode, we'll take another look at invitations, and I'll share what I've learned since my last invitations episode. The common questions (or areas of interest) we'll cover include needing invitations to create something in your business, reaching out to people without an invitation, and following up with clients. We'll also look at the personal front and talk about online dating, family relationships, and a holiday experiment to try. Also, it seems like the Instagram account that was impersonating me has been taken down. But I do talk about it in this episode. If you want to just skip to the episode itself, start at 9:30ish.

130. Why Understanding the Mind Matters
We're continuing our theme of the mind in this episode! We'll talk again briefly about the role of the mind in Human Design, and then we'll launch into why it's important to understand the mind. We'll also touch on how you can use your mind and your authority to "tag team" and deepen your understanding of a situation. You may notice this most when you sit down to reflect or journal - you give your mind the space to process things while also allowing your authority space to have a say.
