Hey there! In this episode of Human Design Hive, we’re diving into something that we all face at one point or another—comparison. Whether it’s feeling behind in life, questioning your progress, or measuring yourself against someone else’s timeline, we’ve all been there. Today, we’re talking about how to break free from the comparison trap using your Human Design.

Episode Overview: In this episode, you'll discover:

How comparisonitis sneaks into your life and why it feels so pervasive.

The ways different Human Design types can experience this pressure—Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors.

Real-life strategies for breaking free from the comparison cycle and trusting your unique path.

Key Points Covered:

[00:00] Opening ContextWe start by chatting about how we get caught in comparison, whether it’s about looks, achievements, or where we “should” be in life.

[06:00] Core Concepts

The idea of comparisonitis—a human instinct to measure our success against others.

How societal expectations feed into this and why Human Design can help us see that our paths are not meant to be the same.

[15:00] Real-Life Applications

If you’re a Generator or Manifesting Generator, how to resist the pressure to follow others’ timelines.

For Projectors, it’s about waiting for recognition instead of forcing your way into opportunities.

Manifestors, remember—you don’t need permission to act; trust your urge.

Reflectors, give yourself the space and time to make decisions.

[25:00] Deep Dive Moments

A conversation about timing and how trusting your energy flow is key to navigating comparison—why timing is everything in Human Design.

Hali and I reflect on the challenges of feeling behind, especially in a world that emphasizes the hustle.Remember, you're not behind, and you’re not meant to follow someone else’s timeline. By trusting your unique design and honoring your energy, you’ll begin to see that you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Let go of comparison and embrace the beauty of your own journey.Join the HDH podcast over on Substack!

What does abundance really mean? Is it just about money, or is there something deeper at play? This week, we’re diving into the mindset of abundance, and exploring how Human Design can shift our understanding of what it truly means to live an abundant life.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a scarcity mindset, wondered why abundance feels so out of reach, or struggled with the pressure to “stay positive” while manifesting, this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Cover:

💡 The emotional energy behind abundance (and why it's NOT just about money)

💡 How your mindset actually shapes your experience of life

💡 Why forcing “positive thinking” can backfire (and what to do instead)

💡 The powerful role of Gate 55 in the massive 2027 shift

💡 Practical ways to reframe scarcity and shift toward an abundant mindset

Hali and I also get real about personal experiences with abundance, how it shows up beyond finances, and why it's so easy to get caught in the trap of lack. Plus, we talk about what billionaires and hustle culture reveal about scarcity—and why the world is on the brink of a major transformation.

And this week's Incarnation Cross is the RAX of Contagion!

If you’re ready to shift your perspective and start experiencing true abundance (without toxic positivity), hit play now! 🎧✨
