In this episode, JJ Flizanes welcomes Erin Hines, a Human Design business coach (and repeat guest from West Coast Women Rising), to kick off a new series-style conversation on Human Design—what it is, why it's gaining traction, and how it can help you better understand your energy, decision-making, and natural way of operating in life and work.
What You'll Learn
- What Human Design is and where it came from (a modern system developed in the late 1980s)
- How Human Design blends ancient and modern systems (astrology, I Ching, chakras + physics/biology concepts)
- The "science of differentiation": why your uniqueness matters and how it supports more ease in life
- The 5 Human Design types and what each one needs to manage energy well:
- Generators & Manifesting Generators: consistent energy when doing what lights you up; built to respond
- Projectors: here to guide; thrive by waiting for invitations and honoring rest
- Manifestors: here to initiate; thrive by informing and allowing cycles of burst/rest
- Reflectors: sensitive mirrors of environments; thrive with downtime and supportive spaces
- How type can reduce shame and friction (e.g., why open-ended questions can feel hard for "response-based" types)
- The basics of reading a Human Design chart: Type, Centers (defined vs open), and deeper layers like gates/channels
