In this episode, we begin our two part exploration on the Reflector, which the rarest of all Human Design types, representing about 1–1.5% of the population. Reflectors are completely open beings with no defined centers, designed to sample, measure, and mirror the health of their environments and communities.

Kelsey unpacks the mechanics of the Reflector aura and explores what it means to be a lunar being in a solar world. This conversation re-frames sensitivity and openness as profound wisdom, showing how Reflectors embody the pulse of the world around them and reflect it back for collective awareness.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• How Reflectors receive life force from transits and the world around them
• The sampling and resilient Reflector aura and how it takes in and releases conditioning
• The Reflector’s role as a mirror of the collective and the environment
• How Reflectors reflect the program
• The distinction between solar types and lunar beings
• The Reflector’s strategy: waiting a full lunar cycle (~28 days) before major decisions

In this episode, we continue our 2 part exploration of the Projector through diving into the experience of recognition, success, bitterness, and guidance. Projectors are designed to master the art of seeing and knowing the other, but this wisdom can only emerge through correct invitations, self-recognition, and deep deconditioning.

Kelsey explores the energetic challenges of being a non-energy type in a Generator world, the sacred responsibility of Projector's attention, and what it truly means to wait for the invitation and recognition. This conversation offers insight into how Projectors can release bitterness, reclaim their authority, and step into their natural role as outer authorities who guide through awareness, not effort.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• The Projector’s signature of success and the not-self theme of bitterness
• Recognition as the key to authentic invitations and correct relationships
• The danger of seeking recognition through initiating or incorrect invitations
• How Projectors absorb and amplify conditioning, and why deconditioning is crucial for their auric function
• The seven-year deconditioning process and how it transforms awareness
• The role of attention as a Projector’s most valuable resource
• Importance of navigating projection, blame, and resentment through self-responsibility
• What it means for Projectors to be outer authorities
• Guidance through asking the right questions, not giving answers
• The energetic relationship between Generators and Projectors as the foundation for humanity’s evolution
• The necessity of correct relationships in a Projector’s life because who they plug into shapes everything

In this episode we begin our 2 part exploration of the Projector aura type in Human Design. Projectors make up about 20% of the population who's auric function is not designed to work like Generators or initiate like Manifestors, but rather to see, absorb, and guide the energy of others.

Kelsey unpacks the mechanics that define a Projector and explores how their focused, penetrating aura is designed for one-on-one connection and deep recognition. This episode introduces the strategy of waiting for the invitation, and how this simple yet profound practice protects a Projector’s limited energy and aligns them with genuine recognition and success.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• How Projectors are defined by what they are not
• The absorbing and penetrating aura of the Projector: how it locks into the G center of one person at a time
• Projectors as awareness-based beings rather than energy types
• The strategy of waiting for the invitation as a form of consent and energetic protection
• Why informing without invitation often leads to resistance
• How waiting creates the right environment for guidance to be received
• The role of recognition in a Projector’s life and why chasing it leads to bitterness
• What success truly means beyond material or external validation
• The importance of healthy environments and energy relationships for Projector well-being
• Projectors as outer authorities, offering wisdom and guidance through awareness, not effort

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the Manifestor, including the relational and energetic dynamics of what it means to be a Manifestor (i.e., Informing, anger, peace, and impact). As a Manifestor herself, Kelsey dives into the misconceptions of informing so you can see your Strategy not as a way to control you, but as a practical tool for reducing resistance and honoring the Manifestor’s inherent independence.

This episode also unpacks the emotional experience of anger and the true nature of peace, illuminating how resistance and control shape the Manifestor’s conditioning. This conversation invites Manifestors to stop trying to manage others’ perceptions inside your closed aura and relax into the freedom, rest, and creative impact that are your birthright.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• The purpose and practice of informing
• Practical examples of informing in everyday life
• Anger as the natural response to resistance and interference
• Peace as the Manifestor’s true default state of rest and autonomy
• Understanding urges as the Manifestor’s internal cue for movement and initiation
• The Manifestor’s relationship to authority as the true driver of correct action
• Navigating impatience, rejection, and isolation through awareness of aura mechanics
• Healing the conditioning of control: childhood punishment, social pressure, and the expectation to explain
• The Manifestor’s energetic role in creation: the butterfly effect and initiating new trajectories of reality

In this episode, we begin our exploration of the Manifestor type, which is the only type designed to initiate in Human Design. Making up roughly 9% of the population, Manifestors are here to bring new impulses into form, to start movements, and to catalyze energetic change in the world.

Kelsey dives into the mechanics that define a Manifestor and the experience of carrying a closed, repelling aura that is designed to move independently through life. This conversation redefines what it means to be powerful and create impact, not through constant doing, but through honoring rest, urges, and the natural rhythm of initiation.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• Understanding the Manifestor’s closed, repelling aura: what it means and how it protects autonomy
• Why Manifestors are not here to respond or be influenced, but to impact
• The energetic mechanics of initiation vs. response
• Aura mechanics and the evolutionary role of Manifestors in a Generator-dominated world
• How Manifestors influence the collective through their urges and timing
• The relationship between Manifestors and life force energy
• Unnaturalness of informing as the Manifestor's Strategy

In this episode, we continue our two part conversation on the Generator type by exploring the difference between Generators and Manifesting Generators and how both are here to transform life through work that they love. Kelsey also dives into how the Sacral response serves as the body’s innate guidance system and how Generators are designed to know themselves through what they respond to and create.

This conversation invites Generators to awaken to their true power, which doesn't happen through force or initiation, but rather through surrender to response, trust in timing, and deep satisfaction in the creative process.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• The distinction between mental awareness and bodily knowing
• How undefined centers can distract the Generator from their true response
• Understanding the Generator’s signature of satisfaction and the not-self theme of frustration
• The regenerative power of satisfaction and how it fuels creation
• Difference between Generators and Manifesting Generators
• Societal and historical conditioning of Generators under systems of oppression and productivity
• Reclaiming sovereignty, autonomy, and interdependence through living in response

In this 2 part episode, we begin our exploration of Type, with the Generator. These Sacral beings make up around 70% of the population. Generators are the life force of the planet, designed to respond to life rather than initiate it. Through the mechanics of their defined Sacral Center and open, enveloping aura, Generators produce energy when they engage with what truly satisfies them.

Kelsey also unpacks the deeper meaning of “work” and “labor” for Generators, outside the lens of capitalism or productivity culture. This episode invites Generators to reimagine their relationship with energy, creativity, and satisfaction so they can begin trusting their body’s natural yes and no response to guide them.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• What defines a Generator
• Why the Generator’s strategy of “waiting to respond” is not restriction, but alignment
• The mechanics of the Generator aura: availability, openness, and energetic response
• The Sacral Center as the body’s motor for vitality, creativity, and sustainable energy
• The role of “work” in Generator life
• Reframing labor as creative, life-affirming energy expenditure
• Healing the collective relationship to work and energy misuse
• The difference between initiating from the mind vs. responding from the body
• How to recognize, trust, and follow your natural Sacral responses

In this episode, we begin our exploration of Aura Type, which is the foundational synthesis of the Human Design system. Type takes the infinite complexity of the Bodygraph and makes it universally accessible, offering a practical entry point into the deconditioning process.

Kelsey dives into how Type weaves together definition, openness, strategy, and themes, and why awareness of your Type alone can be transformative. By aligning with your Strategy and honoring your aura mechanics, you can begin to witness how your body naturally moves through life, without forcing or proving.

What's Discussed in This Episode:

• What Type is and why it’s the most practical synthesis in Human Design
• How Type reconciles the system’s depth with its accessible simplicity
• Type as an immediate access point for deconditioning and coming home to self
• The relationship between Type, Strategy, Signature, Not-Self, definition, and openness
• How following Strategy supports surrender into passenger consciousness
• The “9 potential problems” of undefined centers and the “4 potential solutions” of Strategy
• Sacral vs. Non-Sacral Types and their relationship to life force energy
• Aura mechanics as differentiated ways of navigating life and relationships

In this episode, Kelsey dives into the final center lecture with the G-center, which plays a unique and special role. The G-Center is the home of the Magnetic Monopole, which is moves us along our unique trajectory in life and operates based on resonance. Our mind is designed to be a passenger in the vehicle (our body) and the G-center acts as the driver of that vehicle.

We’ll look at how the G-center operates when defined versus undefined, how conditioning shapes our relationship with love and life direction. This episode is about learning to trust in your unique life direction, despite not knowing where exactly it is leading you.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• The G-Center as the source of love and life direction in the Bodygraph
• Role of the Monopole in being the "driver" of our vehicle
• Healthy expressions vs. not-self tendencies in both defined and undefined G-Center
• Evolution of the Heart Chakra
• Conditioning and how it distorts trust in life direction and purpose
• Biological correspondence, connection to other centers, and circuitry
• Connection between the gates in the G-Center and the Solstice and Equinox

In this episode, Kelsey dives into the Ajna Center, which is our mental awareness center in Human Design. Rooted in logic and reasoning, the Ajna is always seeking answers through formulating and conceptualizing thoughts, opinions, beliefs and ideas. However, what is externalized through the Ajna is not intended for personal use but rather for others. It's here to be an outer authority for others, not as your own inner authority.

We’ll look at how the Ajna operates when defined versus undefined and why regardless of definition, the mind is never supposed to be used in decision making. This episode is about letting go of the emphasis that has been put on mental awareness to make decisions so that you can trust in the wisdom of your body and allow your mind to be the passenger.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

• The Ajna as a mental awareness center
• The evolution of awareness and meaning of passenger consciousness
• How the Ajna shows up when defined versus undefined
• Healthy expressions vs. not-self tendencies in both defined and undefined Ajna
• Conditioning and how it distorts trust in your body rather than mind
• Why the mind is never used for decision making regardless of definition
• Biological correspondence, connection to the Head and Throat centers and circuitry
