Rival & Queen

Victoria Jane spent years in Silicon Valley achieving all the success she thought she wanted, but then found herself exhausted, burnt out, and with her health declining. Her life felt out of alignment and hard in many ways.

She discovered Human Design through her journey of self healing, and began learning about her own unique design and how she could start living more in flow.

Victoria shares what Human Design is, how to start learning about your own design, and she introduces the 5 types in HD: Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors.

Since that day, he has made it his mission to educate and mentor others to stop violence and instead spread more love in the world. He shares how a 300-person memorial walk in 2012 has turned into a movement through empowering families and youth.
