205. How to Handle Inspiration (or a Lack of It)
That Projector Life
In this episode of That Projector Life, we're looking at inspiration and the difference between mental inspiration and energetic inspiration. Have you ever felt like you have all the ideas - that everything is inspiring? Or maybe you've found that nothing is inspiring. You have no mental energy to pursue anything. I'd like to introduce you to the Head Center and mental inspiration. It's a necessity in life - it's what's given us so many great ideas to run with. However, mental inspiration can be a fickle mistress, especially when you have an undefined Head Center (and I am definitely speaking...

204. Thriving as a Splenic Projector With Alex Mufson
That Projector Life
In this episode of That Projector Life, I'm joined by Splenic Projector Alex Mufson. Alex is a seasoned entrepreneur, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder and CEO of her latest company, Aspen Growth Coaching (AGC). We start off by talking about Splenic Authority, and Alex shares great insights and tangible action steps for Splenic Projectors who are new to their authority. (And if you don't have a Splenic Authority, this is a great way to begin understanding how it operates.) Alex also talked about running her business as a Splenic Projector and the flow that she's found in listening to...

203. The 3 Unique Stages of Understanding Human Design
That Projector Life
In this episode of That Projector Life, we're walking through the 3 stages people move through when they learn about the Human Design system. (And of course, like most things in life, this can be a non-linear journey. And just like Human Design, there are many layers to these stages.) So we'll look at how our understanding of the system changes - and how our approach to it changes as well - from beginning to end. When we start with the system, we'll all about the facts and figures. We want to know all the things and we want to know NOW. There also tends to be a hint of doctrine here - we...

202. How the Tribe Works in Human Design
That Projector Life
In this episode, we explore the energy of the Tribe, the Tribal channels, and how they all work together to fulfill the Tribe's purpose: resources and survival. We'll start out by situating the Tribe in the larger picture of humanity as a whole and talk about the Tribe's purpose as it relates to the rest of the world. Then we'll move into each of the Tribal channels and place its energy in the larger story of how the Tribe itself functions. The channels play off of and support each other, and we'll trace the paths of the Ego Circuit and Defense Circuit as we explore the Tribe's energy....

200. Why Center Connections Matter in Human Design
That Projector Life
Have you ever looked at your channels and thought about what they mean for the energy flow in your chart? We're doing just that in this episode! We'll look at all the different center connections in Human Design (and there are a lot) and talk about how they work and what it means to have one connection over another. For example, we'll talk about the impact of having an Identity to Spleen connection and how that differs slightly from an Identity to Sacral or an Identity to Throat connection. Because each center pairing is different - when we pair center, we bring the themes of those two...

200. Exploring the Depths of Emotional Authority With Kristin Quattlebaum
That Projector Life
On top of that, I'm so excited to welcome back Kristin Quattlebaum to That Projector Life. Kristin is a 1/3 Emotional Projector, and in this episode, she's sharing how she's learned and grown since we last spoke with her. (I highly recommend checking out Kristin's first TPL interview. It's episode 85.) We talk a lot about emotions and emotional healing as Kristin shares about her approach to working with her emotional authority. She also walks us through the idea of a secondary authority and how that influenced her ability to connect with and work with her emotional authority. This was such a...

199. Exploring Melancholy and Mutation in Human Design
That Projector Life
Have you ever experienced melancholy? You know - that feeling of sadness for no identifiable reason. Or maybe you're there right now and want to know how to move through it. We're talking about all of that and more in this episode of That Projector Life. Melancholy is a natural part of having Individual circuitry in Human Design. And while it can be frustrating to experience, it's an important part of an Individual's role. Individuals are here to push humanity to mutate, and melancholy is a big part of that. (It's similar to the April showers bring May flowers thing.) We'll talk about how to...

198. How to Recognize Yourself
That Projector Life
We're kicking off 2024 with an episode all about recognizing yourself. I often get asked how Projectors can encourage others to recognize them (and we talk about this question and its rather difficult answer in this episode). But I rarely (until just recently) get asked how Projectors can recognize themselves. So we're taking a dive into Projector recognition from the perspective of the self - as in recognizing yourself. Because Projectors can definitely recognize themselves, and I certainly encourage Projectors to do so. (I mean, if you don't recognize yourself, can you really live your...

197. A Refresh Is Coming Soon!
That Projector Life
That Projector Life is finally back with a new episode! And in this episode, we're diving into where I've been, what I'm doing now, and the refresh that's on the horizon! Look - things were rough in October. Eclipse season hit hard, and it took two months to recover. In that time, I reflected and journaled a lot, and I also discovered that the way my business was structured didn't work for me...because I don't actually want to be in business in terms of having a coaching structure or packages, etc. I really just want to create content, and that's where this refresh is coming in....

196. Exploring the Layers of Human Design With Leann Wolff
That Projector Life
We have a super special guest on That Projector Life this week! Human Design Professional and BG5 Business & Career Consultant Leann Wolff is joining us to talk about all thing Human Design. We start off by discussing the Mani-Gen/Projector relationship and how it differs from that of a Generator/Projector one. (Those of you with both Mani-Gens and Generators in your house, take some notes.) Then we move into talking about money, business, and manifesting as a Projector. And this is a huge topic, but Leann really did an amazing job of offering guidance on where we can look in our...
info_outlineWe're exploring the creative cycle, what it looks like, and how it shows up throughout the Human Design chart. (Notice that we're using the word "cycle" instead of "process" - that's going to be a big thing in this episode.) The creative cycle is a mysterious, sometimes frustrating thing to deal with. However, we'll explore the mechanics of it with some help from the Gene Keys system.
We'll dive into Gates 1 and 2 (a.k.a. Gene Keys 1 and 2) to talk about how and where they contribute to the creative cycle. Then, we'll look at how the creative cycle itself shows up in our lives - and what to do when we're in the shadow or winter part of it. (The answer here likely isn't going to be what you expect.) Finally, we'll zoom out and look at the Human Design chart to explore how creativity shines through the different centers.
And we'll hammer home the idea that inconsistency is ok - and it's actually how the centers work. (Not even the Sacral center is going to be on all the time. It also needs to rest.) Even if you don't feel like a creative soul, give this episode a listen - because I promise the creative cycle shows up in your life. You just may not be aware of it yet.
