Living Your Design

In this episode, we begin our exploration of the Manifestor type, which is the only type designed to initiate in Human Design. Making up roughly 9% of the population, Manifestors are here to bring new impulses into form, to start movements, and to catalyze energetic change in the world. Kelsey dives into the mechanics that define a Manifestor and the experience of carrying a closed, repelling aura...

In this episode, we continue our two part conversation on the Generator type by exploring the difference between Generators and Manifesting Generators and how both are here to transform life through work that they love. Kelsey also dives into how the Sacral response serves as the body’s innate guidance system and how Generators are designed to know themselves through what they respond to and creat...

In this 2 part episode, we begin our exploration of Type, with the Generator. These Sacral beings make up around 70% of the population. Generators are the life force of the planet, designed to respond to life rather than initiate it. Through the mechanics of their defined Sacral Center and open, enveloping aura, Generators produce energy when they engage with what truly satisfies them. Kelsey also...

In this episode, we begin our exploration of Aura Type, which is the foundational synthesis of the Human Design system. Type takes the infinite complexity of the Bodygraph and makes it universally accessible, offering a practical entry point into the deconditioning process. Kelsey dives into how Type weaves together definition, openness, strategy, and themes, and why awareness of your Type alone c...

In this episode, Kelsey dives into the final center lecture with the G-center, which plays a unique and special role. The G-Center is the home of the Magnetic Monopole, which is moves us along our unique trajectory in life and operates based on resonance. Our mind is designed to be a passenger in the vehicle (our body) and the G-center acts as the driver of that vehicle. We’ll look at how the G-ce...

In this episode, Kelsey dives into the Ajna Center, which is our mental awareness center in Human Design. Rooted in logic and reasoning, the Ajna is always seeking answers through formulating and conceptualizing thoughts, opinions, beliefs and ideas. However, what is externalized through the Ajna is not intended for personal use but rather for others. It's here to be an outer authority for others,...

In this episode, Kelsey dives into the Splenic Center, which is the oldest awareness center in the Bodygraph. Rooted in instinct, survival, health, and well-being, the Spleen communicates through spontaneous, moment-to-moment hits of intuition that tell us what is and isn't safe and supportive for life. We’ll look at how the Spleen operates when defined versus undefined, how conditioning shapes ou...

In this episode, Kelsey introduces the three awareness centers in the Human Design Bodygraph: the Spleen, Ajna, and Solar Plexus. These centers provide us with perception, recognition, and knowing. Each center has a different focus and time orientation. Together, they chart an evolutionary trajectory of awareness from instinct, to mental strategy, to emotional depth. We’ll explore how awareness op...

In this episode, Kelsey dives into the Emotional Solar Plexus, which serves two functions as an awareness hub and a motor. This is the seat of emotional awareness, experiential knowing, and the energy to emote, which makes it one of the most powerful and complex centers in the Human Design system. We’ll look at how emotional authority functions, the role of the wave in decision making, and the dif...

In this episode, we turn to the Ego Center (also known as the Heart Center), which is the smallest and most inconsistent of the four motor centers in Human Design. Despite being one of the smallest centers in the Bodygraph, containing only 4 gates, it is the fuel for willpower, commitment, competition, and material reality. This center also holds deep themes of self-worth, value, and self-esteem....

In this episode, we're diving into the Sacral Center, which is the most powerful motor in the Human Design Bodygraph, fueling life force, vitality, creativity, and sexual energy. The Sacral is what defines the Generator and Manifesting Generator Type by providing consistent and renewable energy to be used in ways that feel satisfying. Kelsey explores how this major motor operates when defined vers...

In this episode, Kelsey introduces the four motor centers in the Human Design Bodygraph. The motor centers act as energy hubs that fuel movement, action, and sustainability in the Bodygraph. These centers determine how we generate, direct, and utilize energy, and play a defining role in the mechanics of Type. We’ll look at the unique functions of the Sacral, Root, Solar Plexus, and Ego centers, as...

In this episode, we're diving into the Throat Center, which is also known as the manifestation hub of the Human Design Bodygraph. The Throat is the place where pressure from the Head and Root is released, and where energy becomes expression, communication, action and impact. Kelsey explore's how the Throat Center operates when defined versus undefined, how conditioning distorts authentic expressio...

In this episode, we turn our attention to the Head Center, which is the mental pressure center in Human Design. The Head is the source of inspiration, doubt, mystery, and confusion, providing the spark that begins the process of thought and conceptualization. Kelsey explores how this pressure operates when the Head is defined versus undefined, what it means to be influenced by others’ questions an...

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the nine centers by taking a deeper look at the Root Center, which is the source of pressure, stress, and adrenaline in the Human Design Bodygraph. As both a pressure center and a motor center, the Root provides the ignition that gets energy moving in the body, shaping how we experience urgency, timing, and stress. Kelsey goes into depth on how the R...

In this episode, we begin our deep dive into the nine centers in the Human Design Bodygraph by exploring the Pressure Centers (Root and Head) as the starting point for how energy moves through our system. All of the energy in the 9 centers is trying to make its way to the Throat Center to be expressed. Kelsey explains how pressure is both inevitable and essential, and how our attempts to avoid, es...

In this episode, Kelsey begins the exploration of the four Human Design Aura Types. Your Type describes how you interact with the world, other people, and the collective field. Each Type comes with its own Strategy for moving through life, core themes, and way of experiencing alignment and resistance. In this lesson, you'll learn the mechanical basis for each Type through the lens of center defini...

In this episode, Kelsey explores the concepts of definition, openness, conditioning, and the not-self, which are some of the most important concepts to understanding how your energy operates and how you experience the world. In this lesson, you'll look at how defined and undefined centers shape your consistency, your sensitivities, and your unique way of relating to others and the world. Finally,...

In this episode, Kelsey dives into the mechanics of the Human Design Bodygraph and the foundational elements of the chart that create your Type, Strategy and Authority. She also explains the connections between the Rave Mandala and Astrology and the I-Ching. Kelsey also explores how both your conscious personality and your unconscious design are represented in the chart so that you can start to un...

In this episode, Kelsey unpacks some of the core principles, concepts, and language of Human Design. From the fundamental idea of differentiation vs. homogenization to the mechanics of type, strategy, and authority, this conversation serves as a foundational orientation into the terrain we’ll continue to explore. This episode isn’t just about learning new terminology. Entering the Human Design exp...

In this opening episode of Living Your Design, Kelsey dives into the big question: What even is Human Design? From its roots in multiple ancient and modern systems to its radical potential as a tool for self-awareness and energetic alignment, this conversation invites you into a new framework for living in alignment with your authentic self. In this podcast, we'll explore Human Design not as a bel...

In this episode, Kelsey talks about how she came to the decision to release her Living Your Design course as a free podcast offering. As an Emotional Manifestor, this initiation was a long time in the making. These lectures were created while the foundational aspects of Human Design were alive within Kelsey. Her unique transmission of Human Design has led to profound shifts and transformations wit...
