But whether you're a Human Design Projector, Manifestor, Reflector, or Generator this show has something for you.
You don't have to hustle to succeed but you DO have to master the inner game and there's no greater tool for self-mastery than Human Design.

Tune in for new episodes every Monday and Wednesday to learn how Human Design and the Gene Keys can help you turn the volume up on key energies found in your chart. When you're living in the highest expression of these traits people are drawn to you, your confidence hits a new level, and life gets EASY (and a whole lot more fun).

369: HD Profile 4/1 Opportunist/Investigator
Have you ever felt like you were born to walk a very specific path—and nothing else fits?What happens when your destiny isn't fluid—but fixed? In this episode, Nicole unpacks the most unique and rare profile in Human Design: the 4/1, also known as the Opportunist/Investigator with a fixed fate. Unlike other profiles shaped by twists, turns, and relationships, the 4/1 moves with certainty—and often, resistance to that path creates more friction than flow. Nicole breaks down what this fixed fate truly means, how it feels to live it, and why trusting yourself becomes a non-negotiable for 4/1s. She explores the internal tension between the drive for deep personal certainty (Line 1) and the need for meaningful external connection (Line 4), and how this balancing act plays out in business, relationships, and personal growth. You'll also hear powerful guidance for 4/1s who are trying to stay true to themselves in a world full of outside influence. Plus, Nicole shares actionable insights on how this profile can align with their unique design to build a successful, unshakeable brand—without selling out or burning out. Whether you're a 4/1 or just curious about how fixed destiny works, this episode will give you a new appreciation for what it means to honor your truth without compromise.

367: HD Profile 3/6 Martyr Role Model
What if the chaos of your early life wasn't a mistake—but a necessary part of your path to leadership? In this episode, Nicole unpacks the powerful and complex energy of the 3/6 profile in Human Design. Known for its tension between messy experimentation and visionary wisdom, the 3/6 carries a life story that unfolds in distinct stages—and understanding them could change how you view your past and your purpose. Nicole explains how the 3/6 experiences a triple trial-and-error phase in their early years, followed by a reflective retreat in midlife, and ultimately steps into a role model identity. She shares how this transformation can feel turbulent, but is essential to living out your design. And if you've ever felt like your "mistakes" were actually lessons in disguise, this will resonate deeply. You'll also hear how this profile differs from others, like the 3/5 or 4/6, and why embracing both the messy and masterful sides of yourself is key. Nicole brings this to life with examples of famous 3/6s, showing how their success was born through bold choices and lived experience—not perfection. If you're a 3/6 or you work closely with one, this episode offers a new way to see the journey—not as broken, but as beautifully built for growth.

366: HD Profile 3/5: Martyr Heretic
What do Kate Winslet, Bruce Springsteen, and Sara Blakely have in common? They all embody the bold, complex energy of the 3/5 profile in Human Design. In this episode, Nicole explores what it really means to carry the "Martyr/Heretic" archetype—and why that label doesn't even come close to describing the true power behind this profile. Nicole breaks down the role of trial and error in the 3/5's path, the impact of the unconscious projection field, and why many 3/5s stop short of reaching their full potential. Nicole shares personal insights from working with 3/5s—including her own husband—and the surprising way these individuals are wired to lead. Nicole also peels back the curtain on the emotional terrain of the 3/5 journey: the fear of failure, the conditioning from childhood, and the resilience that gets built through lived experience. And if you've ever questioned whether you're "doing it wrong" because things don't seem to stick, you'll walk away with clarity, permission, and maybe even a little fire to go break a few things—on purpose. Whether you're a 3/5 or simply curious about how this profile plays out in real life, this episode will open your eyes to the power of owning your path—even when it's messy.

365: HD Profile 2/5: Hermit Heretic
What if your natural gifts were so powerful, they drew people in before you even said a word? The 2/5 profile in Human Design—known as the Hermit Heretic—carries a rare blend of raw talent and quiet magnetism that can feel both empowering and overwhelming. In this episode, Nicole breaks down what makes this profile so unique, and why it often feels like you're living in two worlds at once. Nicole explains the internal push-pull that 2/5s experience: the desire to retreat and master your craft, alongside the pressure to step into the spotlight and serve others. With relatable stories and examples from well-known figures, she illustrates how this profile works, where it gets tripped up, and how to work with its energy rather than against it. You'll also hear how the two distinct projection fields shape how others see you—and why it's so important for 2/5s to call themselves forward, rather than wait for the world to validate their gifts. There's power in recognizing what makes you different, and even more in learning how to own it fully. If you're a 2/5 or love someone who is, this episode will help you understand the brilliance behind the profile—and how it can be the X-factor that sets you apart in life and business.

364: HD Profile 2/4: Hermit Opportunist
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.
