443: Human Design: The Collective Circuit in Life & Business
Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast
Why do certain things happening in the world feel impossible for you to ignore, while others seem completely unfazed by them? In this episode, Nicole explores one of the most overlooked yet illuminating aspects of Human Design: circuitry. While many people focus on type, authority, or profile, circuitry reveals why some topics, causes, and conversations feel deeply personal to you — and why they may not hold the same weight for someone else. This conversation centers on the collective circuit and how it influences the way we observe, process, and respond to what’s happening around...

What if the year hasn’t really started yet? While the calendar says January, Human Design tells a very different story.

Nicole looks at the collective Human Design chart for 2026 and the powerful themes shaping it.

440: Upgrade Your Identity with Human Design
Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast
What if the reason you feel behind already this year isn’t because you’re doing something wrong—but because you’re trying to move before the pressure is ready to release? In this episode, Nicole reframes what January is actually meant for and why the urge to push, hustle, or “catch up” may be the very thing keeping you out of alignment. This conversation invites you to slow down, plan with intention, and understand how pressure works so you can use it rather than fight it. At the center of this episode is identity upgrading—not as a surface-level exercise in habits,...

Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast
Have you ever felt like you’re ready to move forward, but something invisible keeps holding you back? In this episode, Nicole speaks directly to that uneasy in-between space so many people experience at the start of a new year. Rather than pushing for momentum too soon, she explores why this pause exists—and how Human Design can help you understand what this moment is really asking of you before things begin to speed up. At the center of the conversation is the G-Center—the energetic home of identity, love, direction, and purpose. Nicole explains how strategy and authority aren’t...

438: January Human Design & Astrology Transits w/Christina Luna
Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast
What if the reason you don’t feel ready to rush into the new year is because you’re still integrating everything that changed? In this episode, Nicole and Christina Luna reflect on the sensation of crossing a threshold—of having moved through an intense, initiatory period and now standing on unfamiliar but solid ground. Rather than framing January as a time to push forward, they explore what it means to arrive fully in a new chapter with presence, awareness, and trust. Through the lenses of Human Design and Astrology, they break down the energetic themes shaping the start of the...

437: Creating Opportunity from Uncertainty with Human Design
Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast
As we move through the final days of the year, uncertainty has a way of getting louder. Whether you’re reflecting on a year that didn’t go as planned or wondering how you’ll recreate (or top) one that went incredibly well, this in-between space can feel heavy, pressured, and mentally exhausting. In this episode, Nicole explores why this time of transition can be so uncomfortable—and how it can actually become one of the most powerful moments for clarity and expansion. Using Human Design as the lens, Nicole breaks down what’s really happening beneath the surface when fear,...
info_outlineWhat if Human Design is far more complex, scientific, and spiritually sophisticated than most people realize?
In this episode, Nicole sits down with Dr. Eleanor Haspel-Portner, a pioneering voice in the Human Design space whose work spans decades of research, spiritual practice, and psychological inquiry. Dr. Eleanor shares her unconventional path—psychic awareness from childhood, rigorous academic training, and deep study in esoteric systems—and how it all led to a framework that challenges conventional interpretations of Human Design.
Dr. Eleanor opens up about her time working with Ra Uru Hu, offering a rare perspective on the origins of the system, the limitations of how it was taught publicly, and the surprising findings uncovered through scientific analysis. When she began testing the structure of Human Design statistically, some elements held up brilliantly—while others didn’t. She explains how this research evolved into the “four worlds,” a multidimensional framework showing that a single chart only captures a fraction of our consciousness and potential.
Together, Nicole and Eleanor explore the nuances of type, emotional development, and spiritual transformation, as well as the powerful role of early childhood in shaping how we operate. Eleanor offers thought-provoking insights for parents, explaining why honoring the energetic nature of a child can support healthier development than attempting to mold them into expected behaviors. Throughout the conversation, she reveals how understanding this expanded perspective on Human Design can soften judgment, deepen compassion, and create more aligned relationships.
This conversation challenges assumptions and reframes Human Design as a living, evolving system that illuminates the complexity of being human. If you’re ready to expand your thinking beyond surface-level interpretations and explore Human Design as a tool for awakening and integration, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
