Life coach and business mentor Amanda Leigh Walker gives us the lowdown on  Human Design. We then get into how this self-awareness tool can help us celebrate our natural energy and desires, and stop fighting who we are and what we want simply to please others.  

We track Amanda’s journey from studying filmmaking in Canada, to teaching English in Taiwan, to meeting her Aussie husband and moving to Australia. Committed and creative vegetarians, they founded Lord Of The Fries. Their humble plant-based food truck grew into a national restaurant franchise.  

On that wave of success, Amanda began strategizing for other female entrepreneurs. When covid hit, putting the restaurant business in turmoil, she left the food business. At the same time, her marriage ended. Leaning into self-care and spiritual practices to navigate these changes, she made coaching her vocation. Human Design helped Amanda lead from alignment instead of conditioning, and she began using the system with her clients.   

She unpacks what Human Design is, and how we can leverage our strengths, use our energy more efficiently, make clearer decisions, and attract people and opportunities that are the right fit. Amanda gives experience-based examples of how Human Design supports more ease and flow in our relationships, and better parenting.   

To wrap up, Amanda does a basic reading of my Human Design. Her insights were bang on, and raised questions that will be provocative for you.
