In this back-to-basics episode, I’m breaking down the Human Design Types through the lens of business. We’re moving beyond personality labels and looking at the mechanics of your aura: the electromagnetic field that determines how you’re designed to interact with the world, attract opportunities, and create success.

Whether you're new to Human Design or a seasoned experimenter, this episode will help you identify where you might be operating against your natural design and how to pivot back into alignment.

• Aura Mechanics: The impression you make on others without even saying a word

In this episode, I’m joined by Danik Bernier, a certified EMDR therapist turned nervous system coach and 5/2 Splenic Projector. As we approach the end of the year, many of us feel the pressure to hit milestones or set massive goals for 2026, which can inadvertently trigger our body’s survival mode.

• Why the body perceives exciting, highly-desired goals as a threat
• How “making your challenge boring" expands your capacity for big moves
• An easy technique to neutralize your specific threat windows
• When to use regulation tools to improve your results
• Practical tools for business owners to manage stress over big goals and time off

• (00:00) Nervous System Regulation for 2026
• (03:13) The Human Design Not-Self and End-of-Year Pressure
