If you're a 5 line profile in Human Design, you have an aura that makes it much easier for others to project their own expectations and stories onto you. That can be helpful – it helps us fulfill our purpose! – but it can also be challenging – like when we don't live up to an expectation that was never meant for us in the first place, and we get "burnt at the stake."    No one knows this better th...

Our fave 5/1 MG and manifesting expert, Kelsey Aida, is back! In this episode, Kelsey and I chat about the energetics of money, how to attract more of it into your life, and what to do if you're starting from "ground zero" with your money mindset (i.e., you're feeling totally hopeless right now).   THE GOODS Kelsey's money story, how it affected her beliefs about money as an adult, and how she rew...

Today, we're talking about one of my favorite channels in the Human Design bodygraph: Channel 3-60, AKA the Channel of Mutation! This channel is very powerful, and also holds a lot of influence over a chart – it will have a very strong effect on how you are built to experience life, no matter what else is going on in your design.  So if you have this, it's very important to know/understand how it...

Is there something you keep saying you want – money, love, success, breaking free from a habit – but it always seems just out of reach? Or maybe, you keep ending up in situations/with things you don't want – like crappy relationships, unfulfilling jobs, people who criticize or reject you, unexpected bills, snafus in your plans, etc.?  Well, it's very possible it's because some part of you (it's no...

Today, our resident astrologer Caitlin and I take a look at the Big Bad (Misunderstood) Daddy of the planets: Saturn. We talk about what the planet represents, why people treat it like it's such a bitch, what a Saturn return is/what to expect from yours, and how ours are playing out right now. Saturn in pisces, baybeeee! 😎🐟 THE GOODS Saturn in astrology vs. Saturn in HD. They're not exactly the...

Are you a generator or manifesting generator who wants to find a more fulfilling life path, job, or even start a business -- but have no idea how to actually do that in a money-driven, capitalist world? If so (and even if not so!) you are going to LOVE this episode from the amazing Rachel Lieberman, founder of the blog Pure Generators.  Rachel is a generator success story if there ever was one. Us...

Save $100 on the Sacral Success Course when you grab it before April 2! → https://justfollowjoy.com/sacral-success   As generators and MGs, we manifest the awesome things we're looking for in life (whatever that is) by "waiting to respond." Which is great, but veeeeery different from what we've been trained to do our whole lives. So how can we trust that this works - and more importantly, what doe...

Aaaaaand here's part 2! Eden Carpenter, AKA the Human Design Fairy Godmother, gives us the rest of the goods in this action-packed episode about using the defined/undefined centers to create aligned business growth. It's basically a free masterclass at this point. If you haven't heard part 1 of the conversation, definitely check it out here.   THE GOODS The emotional solar plexus center - why this...

Today, Danielle and I talk about the power of walking away from what you THINK you should want, but don't (AKA conditioned desires), embracing what you REALLY DO want, even if it looks wrong (AKA true desires) – and how your Human Design chart can help you tell the difference! This episode is your permission slip to look weird as heck as you follow what feels good + aligned for YOU.  We hope you l...

Do you feel like you've been trying and trying to manifest something by living your design for like, ever, and you STILL just aren't seeing the results you want (and feel so freaking frustrated, because, WTF)? Well, I know this is annoying to hear if you've been with HD for a while, but…  The #1 reason this happens is because we're not actually LIVING our designs – we're just THINKING about them a...

Do you feel like when it comes to manifestation, it's always two steps forward, three steps back (maybe, like, four or five)? Does it seem like you're in a loop where you juuuuuuuust can't seem to break through to the other side of what you want? Do you keep coming up against the same weird blocks, every time you try to create what you want? If this is the case, you might be bumping up against one...

I'm so stoked to share today's episode with Whitney Lamb! Whitney is a professional angel channeler, medium, and astrologer. I got an angel mediumship reading from her a few months ago, and I couldn't wait to share her with you. We talked all about your cosmic support team of angels, what they're here to do for you, and how to connect with them.  She's also a 3/5 emotional manifesting generator wi...

Today, I'm talking with Human Design expert Leann Wolff all about… well, a sh*t ton of stuff. Leann and I are both very practical 1-line profiles (she's a 1/3, I'm a 5/1), so we light up when we get to go into the nitty-gritty details of the system, and talk about how they play out in real life. We had SO much fun getting into aspects of HD I don't usually get to talk about on the podcast, and I c...

I have a complicated history with social media. Actually, scratch that, it's pretty simple: I straight up hated it. For a very long time. It actually took me about a year after starting JFJ to launch my Instagram account!   Last year, I got the strong sacral NO from social media, so I pulled a big-time generator move by dropping out of it completely (for my business, that is). It felt absolutely a...

While I LOVE to nerd out on Human Design theory – seriously, feed it to me. I want to eat it for my afternoon snack – I truly love how much it has helped me understand, appreciate, and support the people in my life. Specifically, those who are very different from me. Today, I'm giving some of my favorite tips I've learned (from my personal experience!) for respecting and supporting someone accordi...

Our favorite frequency healer and glorious 4/6 sacral generator, Karen Cheong, is back! In this jam-packed episode, we're talking all about jumping timelines – i.e., entering alternate versions of your reality (which already exist) where you're living out the version of life that YOU want.  This episode is an absolute must-listen, especially for anyone who feels like what they want is too far away...

Have you ever heard of Ahai 7D energy healing? A type of Reiki, it can help you with anything from breaking habits and patterns, to finding clarity and direction, to just releasing big ol' energetic blockages (including any you "picked up" and aren't yours. Ah, you empath).  In this episode, 1/3 emotional projector and Ahai practitioner Sandy Yang explains how the system works, why it helps so muc...

Does living your design make you feel… kind of trapped? Are you intuitively drawn to certain things, but it's not "allowed" based on your chart? Do you feel stuck under a pile of "should"s, "have-to"s, and rules (and it's really stressing you out)? Oof. Been there. The good news is that Human Design is NOT supposed to make you feel that way – in fact, it's supposed to be the permission slip to do...

When you really want something, it's easy to try to make yourself to work! do! make it happen!... even when it doesn't feel good, aligned, or like you even have anything to take action on. The truth is, though, that if it doesn't feel like our energy is there, that's actually our bodies telling us that the fastest way to manifest our desire is to NOT force ourselves to do all that stuff right now....

Astrocartography is a system that uses your astrology birth chart to create a map, specific to you, that shows you which energies exist for you in different locations around the world – and it's an amazing tool for figuring out the best places for you to be, live, and visit! In this episode, I'm joined by our resident astrologer, 3/5 reflector Caitlin Goehring, to learn all about how it works. THE...

In Human Design, your motivation (AKA, your motivation variable) tells you the correct reason or "thing" for you to take action based on. When you know it, you can make sure you're putting your energy into what will truly move you – and the rest of the world – forward! And in this episode, we talk aaaaaaalll about it, baby. THE GOODS What motivation is (and what it isn't) How to find your motivati...

Is there something you REALLY crave in your life... but no matter how hard you're a-manifestin', it's just not showing up yet?  Here's the bad news: it might be that it's just not time yet (at least according to the universe's timeline).  Here's the good news: that doesn't mean it's not coming – and your Human Design/astrology can help you understand why the universe has you on the timeline it doe...

Fear isn't a bad thing, because it keeps us safe and alive (which is cool). Nowadays, though, we're here not just to survive – we're here to thrive. Since fear can hold us back from the incredible things we're here to do and be, that means we all have to learn how to overcome it somehow. BUT, we're all built to overcome it differently. So how do you know when your fear is protecting you, and when...

That's right, baby. Today is my birthday! 😀🎂🎉 To celebrate, I thought it'd be fun to do something I've wanted to do for a while – a mini chart reading of my own Human Design birth chart.  If you've ever wanted to know what makes me tick (or, want to know what kind of stuff you can learn about yourself from your chart) this is a great little taste!   THE GOODS How I live, manifest, and thrive as...
