Head over heels for Human Design

I discovered Human Design through my therapist while I was recovering from burnout. She suggested I look up my Human Design. I figured it would be another type like Enneagram or even something like "Eat for Your Blood Type." This suggestion led me to a whole new world of self-discovery. I dove in deep, as I tend to do when something truly intrigues me. (It’s the 1 in my 5/1 profile.)

I uncovered reasons why I sometimes feel I can only focus on one thing, while my husband can have a few things going at once. I learned why I enjoy delving deep into subjects and sharing that knowledge with others. And why I struggle with spontaneous decisions, unlike the rest of my family. I learned why my ideas tend to be sparked when I’m around others or in response to something I read or see on Instagram. I’ve realized why when I’ve hit an obstacle that I need to step back and stop pushing, things tend to work out in the most divine way.

Exploring my Human Design shed light on my lifelong struggles with self-worth and an unnecessary need to prove myself to others.

I took a few classes in Human Design all the while wondering how can could I share this amazing tool with others? I heard Erin Claire Jones on Becca Piastrelli's Belonging podcast. She shared Human Design in a different way than my other instructors. It was so practical and sparked something inside me.

I was eager to take Erin's Human Design course last fall while my coach training was winding down. The insights I’ve gained about myself have transformed my self-understanding, made me a better spouse and a better parent. It’s deepened my understanding of my family and friendships.

Two years ago, I couldn't have imagined where I am today. Now, as a Life Purpose and Well-Being Coach incorporating Human Design into my coaching, I’m so excited to share this amazing tool with my clients. Witnessing how it’s resonating with clients is remarkable. Giving them something actionable and tangible to feel more in alignment, we start with something to create a simple shift can bring light to a dark, cold, dreary day inside and outside.
