That Projector Life

It's been almost 6 years since I started the That Projector Life podcast, and it's been a wonderful few years of growth, learning, and change. However, this is the last episode. I've finally felt the push to release That Projector Life and close up shop. And now that I've decided to cut cords, my Martyr line is adamant that we do it sooner rather than later.

So while I realize this decision may seem out of the blue, I feel it's been a long time coming. I don't feel like I can give TPL much more, and I'm ok with that. I've had a good run here, and Human Design has helped me become more comfortable and happy with who I am. I believe I've done what I set out to do - create something I'm proud of, express myself authentically, and guide others along the way.

I also feel the winds of change blowing me elsewhere (of course, I have no idea where specifically...just not here). And being me, I have to follow that path. It's also a little exciting to once again step into the unknown and find my way from scratch. This podcast - and the business around it - has been such a huge part of my life for so long that I will miss it. However, it's time for me to close the book on this chapter of my life.

I'm ready to rest deeply. I'm ready to discover a new path. And I'm ready to release this wonderful creation. The podcast and the TPL website will remain available for a while longer. I would like them both to serve as a resource for as long as possible. I'll also open up the TPL Patreon to the public sometime in November.

If you have any questions or last thoughts, you can find me via email at [email protected].

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey, whether you've been here for 1 episode or all 209. I truly appreciate you, and I wish you all the best in your journey.

We spend a lot of time as Projectors waiting for an aligned invitation to come along. But what happens when one does come along, but you can't accept it? How do you handle that? Does not being able to accept an aligned invitation mean that you're doomed to a life of bitterness? (Sorry. I had to be dramatic there.)

It does not. In this episode, we'll talk about what happens if you can't accept an aligned invitation. We'll also look at how you can handle or view this event. Because things are likely going to be emotionally charged when it comes to not being able to accept aligned invitations. Ready to dive into this not-much-discussed topic? Listen to the episode.

We're diving into a lighter side of Human Design today. Let's talk about how to have fun with this system. Because the Human Design system is about how to live life in a way that's unique to you. It's a great way to open up to your energy and really begin to honor it.

But so often we tend to get caught up in the technicalities. (Think: Am I doing this right? Is that my authority? What does waiting for an invitation mean?) And when we get stuck in our head, we tend to lose sight of just how fun it can be to play around with something that's meant to bring enlightenment to us.

So this episode offers five ways you can take a step back from the heavier side of Human Design and dip into some fun. (And sure, there's a time and place for the heavy, serious stuff. But we shouldn't stay there all the time.) If you're ready to let your hair down while moving through the Human Design system, give this episode a listen.

It's time to look at our authorities from a whole new angle: The Dark Side! (Cue Star Wars reference.) Authority is a huge deal in Human Design. It's one of the first things we learn about, and it's one of the things that we return to constantly when it comes to making decisions and living in alignment.

But sometimes our authorities aren't always as helpful as we think they are - whether because we misinterpret them or allow them to stray into less than healthy behavior. This episode is going to dive into the different ways each authority can stray into its shadow.

You may never experience the dark side of your authority, and that's great. But if you think that something is off, or that you're not feeling quite yourself, reflect on how your authority is showing up. It could be that this foundational piece of your design is acting out.

In this episode of That Projector Life, we're looking at inspiration and the difference between mental inspiration and energetic inspiration. Have you ever felt like you have all the ideas - that everything is inspiring? Or maybe you've found that nothing is inspiring. You have no mental energy to pursue anything.

I'd like to introduce you to the Head Center and mental inspiration. It's a necessity in life - it's what's given us so many great ideas to run with. However, mental inspiration can be a fickle mistress, especially when you have an undefined Head Center (and I am definitely speaking from personal experience here).

So how do you handle mental inspiration (or a lack of it, since that's what you'll likely have after deconditioning the Head Center)? What can you do to remain inspired while still being in your own energy? This is where energetic inspiration comes in. It's tuning into your energy to allow your centers and channels to do their thing.

Ready to explore this inspiration? Listen to the episode!

In this episode of That Projector Life, I'm joined by Splenic Projector Alex Mufson. Alex is a seasoned entrepreneur, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder and CEO of her latest company, Aspen Growth Coaching (AGC). We start off by talking about Splenic Authority, and Alex shares great insights and tangible action steps for Splenic Projectors who are new to their authority. (And if you don't have a Splenic Authority, this is a great way to begin understanding how it operates.)

Alex also talked about running her business as a Splenic Projector and the flow that she's found in listening to her energy - including her defined Heart Center. (Did you know that the Heart Center (a.k.a. the Ego Center) is getting a little rebrand? Alex mentions that here - and helps us understand and love on this center a bit more.)

This was such a down-to-earth conversation about Human Design, business, and how to work with your design in your own way. Don't forget to connect with Alex using her links below!

In this episode of That Projector Life, we're walking through the 3 stages people move through when they learn about the Human Design system. (And of course, like most things in life, this can be a non-linear journey. And just like Human Design, there are many layers to these stages.)

So we'll look at how our understanding of the system changes - and how our approach to it changes as well - from beginning to end. When we start with the system, we'll all about the facts and figures. We want to know all the things and we want to know NOW. There also tends to be a hint of doctrine here - we follow what other people say religiously.

But over time, as we become more comfortable with the system and understand our energy better, we tend to move past the "just the facts" approach and step into the second and third stages - both marked by unique challenges and understandings.

Ready to find out where you are in these stages? Listen to the episode!

In this episode, we explore the energy of the Tribe, the Tribal channels, and how they all work together to fulfill the Tribe's purpose: resources and survival. We'll start out by situating the Tribe in the larger picture of humanity as a whole and talk about the Tribe's purpose as it relates to the rest of the world.

Then we'll move into each of the Tribal channels and place its energy in the larger story of how the Tribe itself functions. The channels play off of and support each other, and we'll trace the paths of the Ego Circuit and Defense Circuit as we explore the Tribe's energy.

Finally, we'll spend some time talking about the highest expression of Tribal energy as well as the lowest expression of Tribal energy, touching on how and where the Tribe grapples with the not-self. The not-self is something definitely worth exploring, as we see a lot of Tribal not-self show up in our world.

Have you ever looked at your channels and thought about what they mean for the energy flow in your chart? We're doing just that in this episode! We'll look at all the different center connections in Human Design (and there are a lot) and talk about how they work and what it means to have one connection over another.

For example, we'll talk about the impact of having an Identity to Spleen connection and how that differs slightly from an Identity to Sacral or an Identity to Throat connection. Because each center pairing is different - when we pair center, we bring the themes of those two energies together.

The specific channels that you have are your own special blend of those two centers. In this episode, we'll stick more to the general information, but this is a great building block for looking into your channels. We'll look at how the themes of the energy pair between centers and how that impacts you.

On top of that, I'm so excited to welcome back Kristin Quattlebaum to That Projector Life. Kristin is a 1/3 Emotional Projector, and in this episode, she's sharing how she's learned and grown since we last spoke with her. (I highly recommend checking out Kristin's first TPL interview. It's episode 85.)

We talk a lot about emotions and emotional healing as Kristin shares about her approach to working with her emotional authority. She also walks us through the idea of a secondary authority and how that influenced her ability to connect with and work with her emotional authority.

This was such a fun episode, and Kristin shares so much insight into the workings of the Solar Plexus and her own experiences with it. If you or someone you know is an emotional authority, I definitely recommend giving this episode a listen and reflecting on the power of emotions.

And even if you're like me and don't have an emotional authority, Kristin's approach to emotions is definitely one worth reflecting on - because we do experience emotions.
