Magnetic by Design: A Human Design Podcast

What if the reason your manifestations haven’t arrived yet has nothing to do with how much you want them?

In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author, energetic alignment coach, co-host of the High Vibin’ It podcast and 5/1 Emotional Manifesting Generator Kelsey Aida.

Kelsey’s new book, The Manifesting Fix, explores why so much manifestation advice doesn’t work, and the step between asking and receiving that often gets overlooked. We talk about resistance, identity and what it looks like to align with the life you’re creating.

We talk about:

• The alignment step that sits between asking and receiving
• How resistance can show up in business, from pricing to holding back your gifts
• Specific and nonspecific manifesting, and where to find yours in your chart
• The question that helps you get clear on what you really want
• Identity work and becoming the version of you who already has it
• Kelsey's Human Design as a 5/1 Emotional Manifesting Generator

Sometimes what’s missing isn’t more effort. It’s seeing what’s been holding you back.

What does it really take to build a business that can support you through different seasons of life?

Especially when you’re balancing motherhood, big goals and changing capacity?

In this episode, I’m joined by spiritual business coach, mum of three and host of the Feminine Fire Podcast, Bec Cuzzillo.

Bec has been in business for 10 years, and we talk about the evolution of her business, the choices that have made it more sustainable, and what it looks like to keep building as life changes.

We also weave in Bec’s Human Design as a 1/3 Sacral Generator and explore some of the natural strengths she brings to her work.

We talk about:

• Following what lights you up and trusting where it leads
• Why simplifying around one core offer created more consistency
• Building a business alongside motherhood and changing capacity
• The importance of support and community
• Bec’s Human Design and the strengths she naturally brings to her work

There’s so much in this conversation about building for the long term and allowing your business to change as you do.

Have you ever had a feeling about something before you could explain it?

A quiet knowing, a gut response, a sign that arrived at just the right time, or a sense that something in your life or business was no longer right, even if your mind was trying to talk you out of it?

In this episode, I'm joined by intuitive guide, TEDx speaker, master coach and 3/5 Manifesting Generator Julie Reisler for a conversation about intuition, Human Design, self-trust and reconnecting with your inner guidance.

Julie shares her journey from people-pleasing and self-doubt to learning how to trust the wisdom that had been guiding her all along. We explore the connection between intuition and Human Design, the different ways intuition can speak to us, and why so many of us have been conditioned to look outside ourselves for answers.

We talk about:

• Julie’s journey from people-pleasing to trusting her inner guidance
• The difference between intuition, fear and ego
• ulie's four Intuition Language™ types: Visionary, Volume, Vessel and Visceral
• How meditation and inner safety can strengthen your intuitive connection
• The connection between Human Design, body wisdom and authority
• Why your intuition may have already been guiding you more than you realise
• How signs, synchronicities and body signals can support your path

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that self-trust isn't something we find outside of ourselves.

It's something we cultivate by learning to listen.

And the more we listen, the more we recognise the guidance that has been within us all along.

In this episode of  Magnetic By Design: A Human Design Podcast, I’m joined by the beautiful Jennifer Borg, a branding and lifestyle photographer for visionary women, and a 6/2 Sacral Manifesting Generator.

Jennifer was on the podcast three years ago, so it felt really special to have her back for another conversation, this time exploring creativity, Human Design, business, flow, structure and what it really looks like to design a life you love.

In this episode, Jennifer shares how taking space from consuming other people’s content and retreating into her own energy has opened up more creativity, clarity and inspiration in her business.

We also explore how understanding her Human Design has supported the way she creates, works, protects her authenticity and builds a business around her values, energy and real life.

We talk about:

• Creating before consuming and protecting your creative energy
• The 6/2 profile and the power of retreat, embodiment and lived wisdom
• How Jennifer works with her open Identity Centre and protects her authenticity
• Why structure can actually create more flow and freedom in your business
• Building a business around your values, energy and lifestyle
• Trusting your own way of creating instead of following what everyone else is doing
• How Human Design can support your creativity, visibility and business alignment

This is such a beautiful conversation for creatives, entrepreneurs and women in business who are craving more space, simplicity and alignment in the way they work.

Jennifer’s approach is such a gorgeous example of what it looks like to build a business around your life, not the other way around.

A conversation on burnout, Human Design, and learning to work with your energy as a Projector.

Sometimes burnout isn’t loud.

It builds slowly, until you realise you’ve been disconnected from yourself for a long time.

In this episode, I’m joined by Trina Pitts, a nurse, nurse coach and 6/2 Energy Projector, who shares her experience of burnout within the nursing profession and what it looked like to reach that breaking point.

We talk about the moment she realised she had been disconnected from her body for years, how workplace pressure and expectations contributed to that, and what began to shift when she started listening to her energy instead of pushing past it.

We also explore how discovering Human Design supported her in understanding her capacity, especially as a Projector, and why rest isn’t something to earn, it’s something to honour.

In this episode we cover:

✨ What burnout can actually look like, especially when it goes unrecognised for years
 ✨ The impact of workplace pressure, expectations and people-pleasing
 ✨ What it means to feel disconnected from your body, and how to begin rebuilding that connection
 ✨ The role of rest for Projectors and non-energy types
 ✨ Navigating guilt when setting boundaries and prioritising yourself
 ✨ Creating a more sustainable way of working without leaving your career entirely

This is a really honest conversation, especially if you’ve ever felt exhausted, stretched too thin, or like you’ve been pushing past your limits for far too long.

At some point, pushing harder stops being the answer.

And your energetic design gives you clear signs when something isn’t aligned.

In this episode, I’m talking about: 

•   How burnout shows up differently across the Human Design Types
•  The patterns within undefined centres that can drive overworking
•  What happens when your business structure requires more consistent energy than you actually have.
•  The structural shifts I made in my own business when I realised I was operating like a Generator in a Projector body

This isn’t about hustle versus rest.

It’s about building something that feels spacious, profitable and sustainable.

If you’re realising your business isn’t built around how you’re actually meant to work, the Illuminate Business Reading is where we refine it, through the lens of your design.

The Human Design New Year is here — and it brings a whole new energy shift.

In this episode, Nicole dives into what’s really starting now that the sun has entered Gate 41 — the gate of inspiration, visioning, and dreaming new possibilities into reality. If you’ve been feeling off, unclear, or slow to start the year, you’re not alone — and you’re not behind.

This conversation covers the deeper energetic layers shaping 2026: the Aquarian future-focused vibe, the final stretch of the Snake year, the upcoming Chinese Year of the Fire Horse, and the massive 2027 paradigm shift on the horizon.

Nicole also shares her personal ritual with her daughter — how they created laminated “action boards” to anchor their dreams in motion, and how you can do the same to start this year from alignment, not pressure.

In this episode you’ll learn:
✨ What Gate 41 means for manifestation, creativity + the energetic start of 2026
✨ The upcoming planetary transits — and how they’ll shape your next month
✨ Why 2025 felt heavy (especially in business) + what the Snake energy was really about
✨ What to expect from the Year of the Horse + how to work with its bold movement
✨ The 2027 shift from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix
✨ Practical ways to set aligned intentions using Human Design + Aquarius energy

You can have the perfect strategy, the funnels, the content plan, and the launch blueprint… but if your energy isn’t behind it, it won’t land. In this episode, Nicole explores what it truly means to build a business by design — where strategy supports your energy, rather than drains it.

Discover how to identify where you’re forcing things in your business, how each Human Design Type can align their strategy with their natural rhythm, and why sustainable success comes from flow, not force.

Whether you’re a Generator mastering joy-led creation, a Projector guiding from recognition, or a Manifestor leading from inspiration — this episode will help you return to your own energetic blueprint and find freedom in the way you work.

In this episode you’ll learn:
✨ The real meaning of “energy before strategy”
✨ Why strategy still matters — and how to make it support your energy
✨ What aligned business creation looks like for each Human Design Type
✨ How to shift from hustle to sustainability
✨ Ways to build systems that create spaciousness, rest, and creativity

There's a narrative in the Human Design world that focuses heavily on the conditioning aspects of open & undefined centres, and while that's important to understand, I find there's not enough emphasis on the wisdom and gifts that live there.

In this solo episode, I explore the beauty of undefined centres:

• How open centres are wisdom portals 
• The specific gifts that each of the nine undefined centres offers
• Why openness creates space for possibility thinking and divine downloads
• How taking on energy isn't always about conditioning - sometimes it's about amplifying beautiful collective energy
• The way your undefined centres serve not just you, but the collective around you
• Why having more white in your chart means the potential to experience so many different types of energy

Resources Mentioned:

• Illuminate Business Reading - My signature 90-minute business reading where we dive deep into your profit potentials, including how your open centres can attract your soul fractal clients

Reflection: I'd love for you to pick one of your open centres and reflect on how it shows up in your life. Where might you judge it versus appreciate it? What wisdom have you gained through that openness? Feel free to tag me or send me a message on Instagram @nicoletowers_ 

I'd love to hear your insights!

Can I be honest with you? As a projector myself, I've been seeing something in our community lately that's breaking my heart. So many incredible projectors are feeling stuck, unseen, and wondering if business success just isn't meant for them.

But here's the thing - you ARE meant for success. You're literally designed to be the leaders and guides of the future (hello, 2027 shift!). So why does it feel so bloody hard right now?

In this solo episode, I'm diving deep into:

• Why business feels so much harder for projectors right now
• The 3 ways projectors unknowingly block their own success
• The patterns I'm seeing in struggling projectors (and how to break them)
• What's really behind that bitter, frustrated energy you've been carrying
• How to step into your power before the 2027 shift

Ready to stop sabotaging your success and start stepping into your power as a projector? Book your Illuminate Business Reading and let's dive deep into how your unique design wants to show up in business. 

Share the Love: Know another projector who needs to hear this? Send them this episode. The more projectors who understand their power, the better prepared we'll all be for the incredible shift coming in 2027.

This episode is for my fellow projectors who are tired of feeling invisible and ready to claim their rightful place as the guides and leaders they're designed to be.
