What Is Human Design? A Beginner's Guide

Ever followed advice that was objectively good and it still didn't work for you? It's probably not a you problem...it might just not have been built for how you're wired. In this mini episode, I break down human design: what it is, where it comes from, and how it actually works in real life. I cover the body graph and its nine energy centers, the difference between defined centers (consistently you) and open centers (where you take in and amplify others' energy), and the five human design types — Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. I also unpack "authority," the practical piece that tells you how you're built to make reliable decisions. Then I get personal, sharing my own chart and how understanding it has changed how I make decisions, run my businesses, and show up in my tarot and mediumship work.
