We dive into why January 1st isn't the energetic new year (the Human Design new year starts January 22nd), what the Quarter of Mutation means for how you should actually be using this month, and why New Year's resolutions often fail. In This Episode: Why we're ending monthly tran...

In this episode, Hali and I walked through the six Sun/Earth transits that carry us from early December all the way through New Year’s Eve — and there is a lot happening beneath the surface. Think themes of rhythm, change, integrity, self-acceptance, stillness, joy, provocation, and figuring out what’s truly worth fighting for. If you’re someone who naturally feels the pressure of the holidays — t...

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Leslie Menich , a 5/1 Splenic Projector and the founder of Live On With Les . We talk about her journey through burnout, chronic illness, mold exposure, and thyroid cancer — and how trusting her intuition pulled her forward when nothing made sense. We also get into what it looks like to rebuild your life around your energy, why Projectors struggle with burn...

August is serving up some serious energy shifts, and most of the month's grounding energy is in the emotional solar plexus - which means don't rush anything. We're diving into five major transits that are asking you to get real about leadership, answers, commitments, connections, and community. From Gate 7's influence energy paired with Gate 13's storytelling wisdom, to Gate 29's full-body YES ene...

As a 4/1 myself, I to give real insight on this rare Human Design profile. This episode covers the real 4/1 experience - that foundation-seeking line 1 paired with relationship-focused line 4, why we're like trains on tracks (you can ride along but we're not changing course), and why the whole "bonus life" thing is honestly kind of annoying. Plus examples from fellow 4/1s who've stayed true to the...

Hali and I are digging into the 2/5 profile, and exploring the unique tension between wanting to hide away (the Hermit) and being called out to share innovative solutions (the Heretic).

We break down how the 2/5 profil...

The 6/3 lives a deeply experiential life. It doesn't rest on theory, it’s about getting in the mix, learning by doing (and undoing), and ultimately becoming a powerful rol...

In this episode, we’re diving into the Human Design gates activating in July, and let’s just say, there’s a lot of root pressure and throat energy in the mix.

In this episode of the Human Design Hive Podcast, we’re diving into the energy of the 5/2 profile. This one has a bit of a reputation.

If you (or someone you love) is a 4/6, this one's for you. We talk about what makes the 4/6 so unique, why it's considered a "personal" profile even though both numbers live in the upper trigram, and what it really looks like to lead...
