I'm Darcy Goins, your host. Hey, good morning. Welcome back. I'm so excited to be here with you today. We're starting off a new season. We're going to be talking all about human design. I'm so stoked to get into it. We're going to be kicking off this season with a little bit of a story. So for a while, I have felt compelled to help. And help is a little bit hazy in this terms, because I knew I wanted to help. I knew I needed to help. I didn't know who I was supposed to help or how I was supposed to help. And so this feeling has just kind of been lingering for a bit. And if you've been here for a while, you know that behind the scenes, it is busy, busy over here. For those of you who don't know me, hi, my name is Darcie Goins. I'm the voice behind GoInspire. Just a little bit about me. I'm married. We have five kids. Five very busy kids. We're a blended family. We have four boys and one girl. And honestly, for all of you boy mamas out there, like, solidarity, these boys are super, super active. I'm a bonus mom to four. And then my husband and I, we have one together. My husband and I, we met a little bit later in our, our lives. I was 36, he was 43. And it's crazy, because when we met, something just, like, clicked really quickly and our whole lives went into turbo mode. And it's funny that we're going to be talking about human design today, because all of the components of my human design and his design and seeing how they interact together, it makes perfect sense. It was all exactly by design. And I will tell you that between the two of us, we have gone through tremendous, tremendous personal development to become who we are today and to be able to show up for each other in the way that we do and to be able to show up for our kids in the way that we do. We'll get more into that in future podcasts. All of that to say, I would entertain that all of these things kind of led me specifically to human design. And it kind of came about because our lives are so busy and trying to figure out where we could hit the easy button and find a little bit of margin. So my husband and I, his name is Chris. Both of us big nerds, we love to learn things. And on this podcast, you're going to see a lot of nerdy, geeked out content over here, so buckle up. Today we're going to talk all about human design. We're going to talk about what it is. We're going to talk about why you keep hearing about it. And then we'll start to get into how you can use it to your advantage. We're going to have a whole series on human design. So the very next topic that we'll get into, and we may touch on it a little bit today, is on human design types and what that means for you, where you can find your type. I stumbled into human design because we needed that easy button. We needed more margin. And trying to parent five very different individuals while still having time for myself and making time for my husband and us. All you parents out there probably understand that. I started to realize how much value human design has to offer, and I realized that there was something about it that was connecting with this thing that was showing up for me, which was feeling like I needed to help people. And so I bring human design to you today very humbly, in the hopes that it helps you find your easy button and that it helps you gain some margin. We're going to get into exactly what human design is. This might all sound just like what is even going on right now, but with that said, let's do it. Okay, so, human design 101. What in the heck is human design? Human design is literally a tool for you to use to understand yourself and those around you better. For me, I can tell you that I use it to understand myself, but I also use it to understand my husband and our kids and the dynamics at play in our household. As you can imagine, with a busy household and with so many competing personalities, everybody is very different by personality. They're different in the way that they make decisions, and they're different in the way that they interact with their world. With that said, could you imagine how much easier it would be if you had a user manual for yourself, let alone your spouse? Could you imagine how much easier your life would be if you had a user manual for your spouse or your kids? This is what human design is intended to do. It is that user manual. Turn by turn directions, being able to put on a gps and navigate situations that you never thought you could, because you now understand the inner workings of each one of those individuals and how they function. Understanding your human design is going to just give you aha's. It's going to help you understand not only your purpose, but what your spouse, your significant other, your kids, what their I, their superpower here is here in this world. It will also help you to understand how to make decisions that feel good for you. So I'll give you an example here. Years ago, I didn't know that for me, in the way that I make decisions based off of my human design, that if it wasn't like, a heck yeah, then it was, at the very minimum, a not right now, and possibly, or probably it was a no that showed up in my human design. It actually shows up in a couple of the human designs in our household as well. And so I started to recognize this pattern, but it took me years to really understand it, and it's literally in my human design. Had I known. Had I known then what I know now, my goodness, would life have been so completely different? Let me tell you, I would have probably dated less frogs on the way to find my actual prints. I might not have said yes to certain job opportunities, right? But what happens when you don't have your user manual is that you end up falling victim to a lot of the shoulds in human design, it's called conditioning. Let me explain what that means. The shoulds are, you should have this kind of job, you should have this kind of education. You should raise your kids in this way, you should wear these type of clothes, you should, I don't know, fill in the blanks. Everybody's got an opinion on the shoulds, right? And so by understanding specifically what your design looks like and how you're designed to operate, rather than falling victim to all of the shoulds, you actually have the ability to do what feels right for you without having to necessarily make an excuse justify your decision. Right? This is. This is what human design does and why. Why it matters. So, human design has lots of different places that it can help you. The reason that I stumbled into it and the very reason why you maybe may have stumbled into it is because you're feeling like you're at a little bit of a crossroads. Maybe you're trying to make a decision. You just feel stuck. Whether that's, you know, parenting your kids or something in. In your relationship, it will tell you that we have very strong willed children, all of them, and they're, like, very strong willed in very different ways. So trying to switch gears to parent them, how they each need to be parented and show up for my husband in a way that brought me joy as well as brought him joy, is exactly. Exactly why human design showed up in my life. So the reason you may be hearing about it is because you, too, are on a journey to figure out yourself and figure out the people around you, to figure out how to hit your easy button. Now with that said, human design is meant to be relatable, helpful and practical. It is my intention to bring you lots of information on human design that you can use through story form, that you can use, that you can relate to, and that you can use to help you make decisions. It's my intent to bring you human design so that you have less friction and resistance around you. And I'm going to tell you another story. We talked a little bit about conditioning. The thing with conditioning and all of the shoulds, if you will, is that the shoulds take you out of alignment with your design. You may feel it, or have felt it at different points in your life. I can tell you, depending on what your design type is, if you're being pulled out of your design, it will actually show up as a very specific emotion. And my design is a manifesting generator, as well as the others in my household who are similar designs. It shows up as frustration. So when you are outside of your design and doing something that really just isn't aligned to you, it shows up as frustration. So if you find yourself frustrated in any area of your life, there may be a solution inside of human design. And it is my genuine hope that I can help serve up human design on a platter in a way that is digestible to you so that you can have less friction and frustration in your life. Now, with that said, this is just a tool for you to use. Try it on. See how it feels, see if it resonates. And at the end of the day, this is all meant to be something that takes you back into alignment. Human design really resonated with me because as a kid, I was very susceptible to the shoulds. Not even just as a kid, as a young adult, as a full grown adulthood, the shoulds impacted me. And it's really difficult when you're living out all of the shoulds of everybody around you, and you have yourself in the middle of that, lost. You know, what you're doing doesn't feel great, but you're not really sure where you stand in all of that. And it has been my life's mission to raise my kids as best I can in a way that doesn't involve too many shoulds. I want to show them how they are best able to operate so that they get to go out in the world and not have to decondition all of their shoulds. And if that is of interest to you, welcome. You're here. I think, you know, as women and as parents, we have a lot of shoulds. And in order to help our kids with their shoulds, we have to work on our own shoulds first and figuring out where we accepted a you should do this or you should be that and how to decondition out of it. So that is human design 101. That is why you keep hearing about it, how to use it to your advantage. So if we recap, using human design to your advantage means understanding your type, what your human design type is. It means understanding a little bit about your decision making authority and how you're best designed to make decisions. And it'll also tell you a little bit about your personality type. Now, one thing I will offer up as we kind of close out here in human design, especially if you've accepted a lot of shoulds, everything that you see in your human design, there's nothing is good or is bad. It does have operating in its highest form versus operating in its lowest form. So if you think about yourself, if you wake up brand new the day and you're like really excited for what's going on that day, that's you, you know, that's your day in its highest form. But if you wake up and stub your toe and trip over a kid's toy on the way to the bathroom, you're probably, your day is probably operating in its lowest form. Your human design chart is just like that. You're going to have lots of different information that shows up in your chart, and it can all operate in its highest form or in its lowest form. But we're going to break down each of the different pieces. And so if you are really curious, you want to follow along and see what youre a, what your components look like for yourself, your spouse, your kids. You can go right to goinspirecoaching.com, get your free human design chart. There are downloads available. You can screenshot it, but you can get your free chart. And we'll have one launching here for kids very soon on how to find your kids superpower based off of their design. So I'll make sure to let you know in the podcast when that's coming as well. But for today, that's human design 101. Next time we're going to get into the different types of human design type, meaning what your type is. So whether you're a manifester, a generator, a manifesting generator, a reflector, or a projector, we'll break each one of those down so you can start to understand a little bit more about your type and how to utilize it more effectively. Until then, I hope you feel inspired to go live your best life, and I can't wait to catch you next time.
