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).

129. How and Why to Observe the Mind
In this episode, we're taking a step back from our minds to really begin observing how they work. In Human Design, the mind tends to be thought of only as something that can take you off your path. And while it has the potential to do that, only viewing the mind as such doesn't account for its beauty and purpose in HD. We'll look at what's really supposed to be directing the vehicle (a.k.a. your body) and how your mind can take the wheel. We'll also talk about how you can begin to step away from your thoughts and become an observer of them. This is all part of the deconditioning journey, so listen in to gain a new perspective on the mind and how you can relate to it. Episode Links: Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

128. Shifting From Survival to Thriving With Allie Tymo
Join me and my Splenic Projector guest, Brand Manager Allie Tymo as we talk all things Projector, business, and life. We have a great conversation, starting with what being an open G-Center Projector is like. Allie shares her experience as well as her tips for creating a brand as someone who has an open G-Center. We segue into other areas of interest, including deconditioning as a Projector and regulating our nervous systems. Allie has some great suggestions for how Projectors (or anyone, really) can begin to tap into their body and nervous system to move out of fight or flight so they can really begin to understand what's going on. This was such a fun and interesting conversation, so join us by listening to the episode! Connect with Allie on Instagram. Episode Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

127. Exploring the Importance of Internal Recognition With Clarise Bezuidenhout
I'm joined by 1/3 Splenic Projector Clarise Bezuidenhout as we talk about all things recognition in this episode. Our focus is more on internal recognition, as Clarise points out its importance in our deconditioning process. Internal recognition - our ability to see our gifts and really appreciate them (and our energy) is what really sets the stage for Projector success and the ability for us to attract aligned invitations and opportunities. Clarise shares her journey and understanding of the part that internal recognition plays in Projector life throughout the episode. She also offers some tips for how to begin recognizing yourself during the deconditioning process. Connect With Clarise on Instagram.

126. 3 Things I've Learned About Alignment
The show is finally back! After an unexpected 2-week break, I'm bringing you a new episode (ironically as a result of that break). This episode is all about alignment and what I've learned since starting my Projector journey. And all of these lessons have been highlighted by what I've experienced over the past two weeks. Here's the thing - a lot of time, we think about alignment as a one-time thing. We say "I'll make this one aligned decision or take this one aligned action, and I'll be good to go." But the truth of the matter is that alignment doesn't always work like that. Sometimes, alignment actually takes work and challenges us to grow. Sometimes, no matter how hard we try/meditate/clear our energy, etc, we can't figure out what's aligned for us. So what happens then? Are we doing something wrong? (Spoiler alert: No.) We'll talk about all of this (and more) in this episode. Ready to hear about alignment - and how our mind, body, and energy sometimes don't play nicely together?

125. Understanding Planets in Astrology
Welcome to our first astrology-focused episode on That Projector Life! I'm working on finding my flow and figuring out how to work astrology into the mix. And that all begins with this episode. This kicks off our foundation building time in astrology. We'll cover the astrological basics in the next few episodes. So if you're familiar with astrology, this will likely be a review (but reviews tend to lead to new realizations, I've found). And if you're new to astrology, we're starting with an explanation of each of the planets and what they rule (and how they impact us). So strap in as we walk through each of the planets in our natal charts and lay that foundation of understanding. For my astrological knowledge, I'm using a mix of resources, which I've listed below: Cafe Astrology Astrodienst (great for natal charts) Time Nomad (great phone app for astrology) (Book) - Astrology for the Light Side of the Brain by Kim Rogers-Gallagher (Book) - Stephen Arroyo's Chart Interpretation Handbook Episode Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

124. How Your Mindset Impacts Your Chart Interpretation
This episode really revolves around the old nature vs nurture debate, but we're looking at it from an astrological and energetic standpoint. We're bringing together astrology and Human Design to talk about how our mindsets impact our chart interpretation. We'll talk about my idea of inherent chart neutrality - the idea that an astrological or Human Design chart is neither good nor bad. We'll also talk about how we react to difficult or challenging energies and how that can impact our charts. This is all about bringing more awareness to our mindset when we sit down with our charts - because our mindset is going to impact how we view the information and the energy in our chart. We can choose to use our charts as tools to help us grow, or as an excuse (or a cushion). And our mindset is one of our biggest factors when looking at charts.

123. How to Launch as a Projector
In this episode, we're talking all things launching as a Projector. More specifically, I'll walk you through the process that I like to use for launches and that I recommend as a framework for Projectors. The ultimate goal of this launch process is to give you more time to plan things out, create content, and rest (yes REST) during your launch. It's here to make launching less stressful, because launching doesn't have to be (and really shouldn't be) a super stressful thing that consumes all your energy. It's entirely possible to enjoy your launch as a Projector. I'll break this launch process into four phases and walk you through each phase and what happens in it. Hopefully this episode will inspire you to reflect on your own launch strategy and where it needs some tweaks to be more in alignment with your Projector energy.

122. Understanding Self-Projected Authority
We're finally exploring self-projected authority! To all my SPPs (self-projected Projectors) out there, I apologize that this episode has taken so long. We'll dive into the mechanics of self-projected authority and talk about where it originates, how you get self-projected authority, and how to work with it. (Yes, talking it out is really helpful, but that's not all there is to it. We'll get into the nuances in this episode). I'll be drawing on my own personal experience as an SPP and share my journey working with this authority. Interestingly, this authority sounds like one of the simpler ones out there, and once you really understand it, it's fun to work with. But it's the getting there that takes time and practice. Hopefully this episode will support you on your journey towards understanding and working with your self-projected authority. Episode Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

121. Exploring the Gates of Aloneness
In this episode, we're taking a look at the three gates of aloneness in Human Design. As their grouping suggests, these gates deal with being alone - and potentially even feeling lonely sometimes. However, when we dive into each specific gate, we'll see that their need for alone time is driven by different things. It's also important to note that none of these gates of aloneness require constant alone time. Each of these gates needs to interact with others occasionally to share what's come up for it, or to simply share the fruits of its labor. Ready to learn more about the gates of aloneness? Listen in!

120. Where I've Been + What's Next
It's been a while since I've created a podcast episode and hung out with y'all. In the month that I've been gone, I've done a few different things, but mostly I rested. And while I rested, I reflected on my business, my life, and my energy. I also spent some time diving into a new subject that I believe may make its way into my business in the future. In this episode, I'll talk candidly about what caused my hiatus (it was a two-fold thing) and what I've discovered about the Human Design system, my place in it, and my approach to it since I've been gone. I'll also open up about what's next for my business and how I'm changing it to bring more alignment and joy back into it. Episode Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!
