JOY IS NOW

ProjectorWisdom

You're a natural illuminator, seeing what is most aligned for others, bringing fresh perspectives and mastering systems with ease.LessonsLearn to embrace your focused energy, allow yourself unproductive rest and share your insights with those who recognize your genius and invite your participation.Are you a Projector? Do you know your Human Design Energy Type?Creativity is energy. The deeper our understanding of how our own energy functions, the more we can harness and direct our creativity. Human Design provides a natural entry point to understanding how to be in alignment with your own energy and cultivate your creative genius. I see tremendous results in terms of creativity and the creative process and effective leadership when Human Design is considered. Plus, it’s a lot of fun. If you are new to Human Design and feel confused, have no fear, that is the correct response! It is very difficult to begin to understand your design without guidance. The language is new and to be honest can feel very dogmatic and limiting, but this is not the purpose of Human Design. Whether you work with me, or someone else, be sure to find someone who can illuminate your Design in an easy to understand and actionable way.

Manifestor

Wisdom: You're a natural innovator, shaking things up with your bold ideas and independent spirit, leading the way with forward-thinking vision.

This week marks the final episode of JOY IS NOW.  I discuss my decision to end such an incredibly fun and joyful project and why ending now is a completely new experience for me. Thank you so much for listening. It has been an honor to have you here. While Joy is coming to a close, I’m not done with podcasting. Moving forward, all Joy episodes will be available for my newsletter subscribers - you can sign up at the link below. And I’ll be creating a new podcast for subscribers, Alchemy -  think of it as a place where data driven science and the wildly creative make out. I’ll be talking more about Human design, business mentorship and answering all the questions you can send my way. I hope you will join me there. I promise a good time. 

For now, let’s think of endings like we do Joy. Big and full of potential.
