Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast

Ever wonder why some people seem to get plucked from obscurity while others grind endlessly without recognition? In this episode, Nicole breaks down the powerful dynamics of the 2/4 Human Design profile — the Hermit Opportunist — and why this combination can be both a gift and a challenge. Nicole reveals what truly sets 2/4s apart, moving beyond generic definitions to explore how this profile shows up in real-world behavior, relationships, and business. You’ll hear how the natural magnetism of the 2/4 can either lead to effortless opportunities or leave someone feeling unseen and misunderstood — depending on how aligned they are with their design. From Johnny Depp’s unexpected rise to stardom to Ryan Gosling’s quiet charisma and lifelong creative path, Nicole uses these real-life 2/4s to show how this profile operates behind the scenes. You’ll hear how natural talent, when recognized and nurtured, can lead to incredible opportunities — and why trusting that inner gift is so crucial for 2/4s to thrive. You’ll also hear about tools to help you decondition from old patterns, unlock your “X factor,” and start living in deeper alignment with who you really are. This one’s for anyone curious about how Human Design can offer practical, transformative insight — not just theory.

Ever wonder why life feels like trial and error—and whether that’s actually part of your magic? In this kickoff episode of a brand-new series on Human Design profiles, we’re exploring the truth behind the 1/3 profile and why it’s so much more than the outdated “Investigator Martyr” label. Nicole introduces her reframe of this dynamic profile as the “Innovative Specialist,” and breaks down what makes this role so powerful, resilient, and essential to personal mastery. You'll hear how the 1/3 profile is built for learning through direct experience, why failure is a crucial ingredient for success, and what happens when you resist the path that’s uniquely yours. Nicole explains the energetic push-pull between the curious, knowledge-seeking first line and the bold, action-oriented third line—and how embracing both is key to alignment. This episode also opens the door to deeper Human Design concepts like personal destiny, profile mechanics, and how your profile actually determines the how behind your purpose. Through real-life examples (including a few famous 1/3s), Nicole brings this profile to life in a relatable, empowering way.
