Have you ever felt stuck between choices, wondering why decision-making feels overwhelming for you? The answer may lie in your Human Design type. Human Design is all about how we are wired to navigate life—including the way we make decisions. Whether you're a bold Manifestor, a strategic Projector, a responsive Generator, or a deeply intuitive Reflector, your type determines the most aligned way for you to evaluate options and take action. By understanding your Human Design strategy and authority, you can break free from societal conditioning, reduce decision fatigue, and start making choices that truly align with your authentic self.

In this episode, we talk about decision making, and how human design might be the tool you have been looking for to better understand how you make decisions and ways to evaluate options in a way that aligns with your truest self with Zach Carlsen. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade, an adventure that has taken him all over the world. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. Zach holds advanced degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, along with certifications in CliftonStrengths coaching and human design.

Zach's primary philosophy, in Ram Dass's words, is that "We are all just walking one another home," He believes in helping others grow, evolve, and reconnect with their true selves through holistic, multi-dimensional support.
