Designed As You Human Design Podcast

Recorded at 3:33 with her new Kelpie puppy, Raffi, asleep on her lap, Hillary shares a personal update (a creative break from social media, a quieter season at home, and the Bali retreat just a month away) before debriefing about the 8 biggest lessons she learnt from the Expansion Tour. If something is calling you to create, expand, or birth something new, this episode is for you, especially if it doesn't make logical sense and comes with plenty of resistance.

In this episode:

• Why fear and resistance are signs you're meant to do the thing
• Surrendering to a divine assignment that doesn't make logical sense
• Becoming an empty vessel instead of trying to perform
• Why frequency matters more than finding the perfect words
• Embodying the identity you want instead of waiting for an invitation
• Acting from the end: expecting an outcome rather than hoping for it, without attachment
• Clearing old beliefs, identities, and boundaries to make space for what's next
• Learning to receive support after years of doing it all yourself
• Checking whether you're creating from love or ego
• Doing it your way: a projector-style approach to touring

In this Q&A-style episode, Hillary sits down with Ashlee - a 3/5 projector, close friend, and the biggest support behind her business - to unpack a concept that's been resonating deeply on tour: making the small things big. Recorded during Virgo eclipse season, when opponent voices tend to be loudest, this conversation is about learning to notice the quiet, minimized stories running in the background of daily life - the ones we dismiss as "not a big deal" - and recognizing them as the actual root of our biggest patterns.

Hillary and Ashlee trace how "small" stories (people-pleasing, seeking approval, minimizing accomplishments) quietly shape major life outcomes, and why awareness alone can shift as much as 50% of the pattern.

The conversation moves into distinguishing intuition from the opponent voice - both of which "sound like you" - and why intuition never asks for proof, while the opponent always offers a reason not to act. 

In this episode:

• Making the small things big: how minimized stories quietly run the show
• Ashlee's personal breakthrough on belonging and self-worth from the Brisbane tour stop
• The difference between intuition and the opponent voice - and why both "sound like you"
• Why intuition never needs proof, but the opponent always offers a reason to stay small
• The three states of consciousness: to-me, for-me, and through-me
• Ease versus easy - why comfort with discomfort is the real goal
• Staying discerning about where energy and attention go in a distraction-heavy world

In the podcast's first guest episode of the year, Hillary sits down with Dr. Sue Morter - renowned speaker, pioneer of bioenergetic medicine, and author of The Energy Codesand Anatomy of Awakening - for a conversation on divine love as our true, underlying nature, not a fleeting feeling.

They explore why pain and constant self-monitoring signal we're "off center," why friction is a natural part of high-frequency consciousness moving through physical form, and how triggers can be turned into wisdom instead of repeated patterns. 

The episode also touches on how consciousness takes physical shape, why embodying truth matters more than explaining it, and closes with reflections on blessing as a constant state and Mary Magdalene as an embodiment of unconditional love.

In this episode:

• How to recognize when you're operating from illusion versus your true, grounded self
• Why friction and resistance are a natural byproduct of high-frequency consciousness meeting physical form
• Turning triggers into "circuitry" instead of repeating the same patterns indefinitely
• A physics-based model of consciousness compressing from the unified field into human form
• Why embodying truth is more powerful than trying to explain or convince
• Blessing as a constant, unearned energetic state — not something you have to create
• Reflections on Mary Magdalene and the embodiment of rooted, unconditional love

In this episode, Hillary unpacks the difference between small desires and big desires, and why so many of us get distracted by the byproduct of our work instead of the actual point of it. Using the bus stop analogy from Dr. Sue Morter (coming to the podcast soon) and a Kabbalistic teaching on tikkun, she walks through why every person, relationship, and challenge in your life is a vehicle — not the destination.

She shares the story of the "blue diamond" — the one thing your soul actually came here to bring back — and why so many of us get to the end of a chapter having built everything except that. Plus: a real client story of a training that didn't sell out the way she wanted, and the full transformation that happened because of it, not despite it.

If you've been in a season of asking for answers, feeling the pressure to perform, or wondering why things aren't going "your way" — this episode is the reframe you didn't know you needed.

Feeling unexplained anxiety, restlessness, or a pull toward change these past few weeks? This episode breaks down the spiritual significance of the September energetic window - and gives you a practical framework for setting intentions for the next 12 months.

If you've felt an unusual wave of anxiety or a sense that something is shifting beneath the surface, this episode explains why - and what to do about it. Hillary connects Virgo season with Rosh Hashanah, the Kabbalistic new year, framing the 48-hour window between September 11th–13th as a spiritual seed point: whatever energy you embody during this time sets the tone for the next 12 months.

If you're looking to understand seasonal energy shifts, set intentions for the year ahead, or simply make sense of why things feel heightened right now - this episode offers real language for what's happening and how to move through it consciously.

In this episode:

• The spiritual meaning of the September 11th–13th energetic window (Rosh Hashanah)
• Why anxiety and restlessness often show up before a personal breakthrough
• Recognizing the "opponent voice" when it shows up right after a boundary win
• Why judgment is a low-frequency energy, even when it feels righteous
• A real-time example of responding consciously instead of reactively
• How to use this window to set intentions for the next 12 months

Feeling stuck in life, your career, or your purpose? 

This episode reframes stuckness as a story your mind is telling you — not your reality — and gives you a practical, spiritual framework for dissolving it.

This episode is especially relevant if you're a Generator or Manifesting Generator in Human Design, feeling low motivation, creatively blocked, or unsure of your next step in business or life. 

In this episode:

• Why "feeling stuck" is a story, not a reality — and how to reframe it
• The science and spirituality behind why energy can never truly be blocked
• How stuckness shows up specifically for Generators and Manifesting Generators
• Why full self-expression, not the end result, is what actually dissolves the feeling of being stuck
• Connecting this teaching to the "opponent voice" from last week's episode
• The Power Practice: a step-by-step tool for pausing instead of reacting
• Why taking one small, imperfect step matters more than having the whole plan
• Where to find Hillary's live tour and final certification enrollment dates

If you've ever talked yourself out of the thing your intuition kept nudging you toward — this is the episode that names exactly what was happening, and how to move through it next time.

In this episode Hillary shares a powerful teaching module from inside The Expansion on what she calls the opponent voice: the inner critic, the ego, the friction point. 

Hillary breaks down the opponent voice as a positive force disguised as a negative one — a mechanism designed to test you right before expansion, not to destroy you. She walks through how to tell the difference between resistance that's protecting your comfort zone and resistance that's simply forcing something misaligned. And reframes doubt, fear, and mental resistance not as signs you're off track, but as proof you're on the edge of your next level. 

In this episode:

• What the "opponent voice" is, and why it shows up loudest right before a breakthrough
• The difference between resistance that's protecting your comfort and resistance from forcing misalignment
• A practice for interrupting the opponent
• Why "99% committed is the same as 1% committed," and what full surrender actually looks like
• Reflections from the Bondi Beach tour stop, and lessons on receiving support after years of self-reliance

Are you a generator living from obligation instead of desire? In this episode, Hillary breaks down the generator energy type — the life force behind 35% of the population, including icons like Beyonce and Oprah — and why so many of them are exhausted, frustrated, and disconnected from their own power.

You'll learn why the generator's gut response is the single most important tool they have, how to tell the difference between a real yes and a settled-for maybe, and why chasing what you want is actually pushing it away. Hillary shares the "perfect pair of jeans" analogy that will change how you make decisions forever, plus why satisfaction — not happiness — is the true sign you're aligned.

If you've ever felt stuck, dulled, or like you're swimming upstream in your own life, this one's for you.

ENJOY LOVE YOU!

Manifestors make up roughly 9% of the population. In this episode Hillary breaks down why their bigness, their intensity, and their need for total independence aren't things to shrink, instead they're the entire point. This one's essential listening whether you're a Manifestor yourself, raising a Manifestor child, or in relationship with one who's constantly being asked to be smaller than they are.

Hillary walks through the mechanics of the Manifestor's closed, impactful aura — why they're not designed to be for everyone, why trying to please the room is the fastest way to lose their true tribe, and why their strategy isn't to wait or respond, but to follow inner urges and inform the people around them before they act. 

She also unpacks anger as the Manifestor's not-self signal, why it should be released rather than shamed, and how peace — not productivity — is the sign they're living aligned. Plus: a beautiful reframe on initiating from a feminine, receptive place rather than force.

If you've ever been told you're "too much" — this is the episode that tells you why that was never true.

In this episode:

• What makes Manifestors the rarest energy type, and why their aura is felt before they say a word
• The strategy of following urges and informing others — and why informing isn't asking permission
• J.K. Rowling, Adele, and Ra Uru Hu as Manifestor archetypes who stayed true to their vision
• Why a closed aura means Manifestors were never meant to be for everyone
• Anger as the not-self clue, and how to move through it in a healthy way
• Peace as the Manifestor's signature sign of alignment
• Initiating from a feminine, receptive place instead of force
• Advice for parents and partners of Manifestors on when to step back and let them lead
