209. Why I'm Leaving That Projector Life
That Projector Life
It's been almost 6 years since I started the That Projector Life podcast, and it's been a wonderful few years of growth, learning, and change. However, this is the last episode. I've finally felt the push to release That Projector Life and close up shop. And now that I've decided to cut cords, my Martyr line is adamant that we do it sooner rather than later. So while I realize this decision may seem out of the blue, I feel it's been a long time coming. I don't feel like I can give TPL much more, and I'm ok with that. I've had a good run here, and Human Design has helped me become more...

208. What Happens If You Can't Accept an Aligned Invitation?
That Projector Life
We spend a lot of time as Projectors waiting for an aligned invitation to come along. But what happens when one does come along, but you can't accept it? How do you handle that? Does not being able to accept an aligned invitation mean that you're doomed to a life of bitterness? (Sorry. I had to be dramatic there.) It does not. In this episode, we'll talk about what happens if you can't accept an aligned invitation. We'll also look at how you can handle or view this event. Because things are likely going to be emotionally charged when it comes to not being able to accept aligned invitations....

207. How to Have Fun With Human Design
That Projector Life
We're diving into a lighter side of Human Design today. Let's talk about how to have fun with this system. Because the Human Design system is about how to live life in a way that's unique to you. It's a great way to open up to your energy and really begin to honor it. But so often we tend to get caught up in the technicalities. (Think: Am I doing this right? Is that my authority? What does waiting for an invitation mean?) And when we get stuck in our head, we tend to lose sight of just how fun it can be to play around with something that's meant to bring enlightenment to us. So this episode...

206. Exploring the Dark Side of Authority
That Projector Life
It's time to look at our authorities from a whole new angle: The Dark Side! (Cue Star Wars reference.) Authority is a huge deal in Human Design. It's one of the first things we learn about, and it's one of the things that we return to constantly when it comes to making decisions and living in alignment. But sometimes our authorities aren't always as helpful as we think they are - whether because we misinterpret them or allow them to stray into less than healthy behavior. This episode is going to dive into the different ways each authority can stray into its shadow. You may never experience the...

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....

201. 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...
info_outlineWe'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 design?)
We'll talk about what it mean to recognize yourself, what that looks like, and how you can go about actually recognizing your energy. And keep in mind that this journey is highly personal, and how you feel recognized may differ from how I feel recognized. I do offer two different examples from my own experience recently of how I was able to recognize myself - in both a joyful situation and a more melancholic one.
So listen into the episode and let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear what recognizing yourself looks like for you!
