I'm here to guide you on a transformative journey. This podcast features travel inspired hypnosis, real client sessions, belief shifting, travel stories and interviews with experts who are shaping the world of conscious living. All right, it's time to journey within and go beyond. Hello and welcome to the traveling hypnotist podcast. I'm your host, Nicole Hernandez, and today we're diving into a topic that might just revolutionize the way that you approach your business. We're talking about human design and why it might make you want to rethink your entire business strategy. Now I know what you're thinking, Nicole, I have already read all the business books out there, I've been to seminars, maybe you've even hired a coach or two. What could Human Design possibly offer me that I haven't heard before? Well, just stick with me, because what I'm about to share with you could be the game changer you've actually been looking for. So let's start off with what is human design? Okay, here's the basics. It's not just a personality test or a business pad. I like to think of human design as really a personal development tool, and really what it is is a comprehensive system that gives us an energetic map of who you are. It's a mash up of Eastern and Western astrology, the Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics. And the way that you would get this information is you would enter your date of birth, your time of birth, your city of birth all into a form, and it would spit out what looks like a chart of a human body with these little spaces that represent your energy and the insights that come with it are very intriguing. They tell us a little bit about our gifts in our life, they can tell us about how best we need to market ourselves and what that strategy needs to really look like. And what I found so interesting is that people who are already listening to themselves, who follow their intuition, who trust their inner authority, are already living their human design without even knowing it. So for example, I looked up a friend's chart who is an engineer, and his chart shows all of these things about logic and about experimentation, and it was so on point for him. And then I pulled another chart for another friend who is someone who teaches communications, and his chart was all about communications, about relationship, about emotion, and it was so spot on for each of them, but they are also people who are very much tuned into who they are and follow their own guidance, their own sense of self. When I looked at my own chart, I could see that there are so many pieces that felt so so validating, things about storytelling, about my emotional intelligence, it was all there in my body graph. And of course, from a high level, just looking at a body graph that you're going to get some basic information when you pull your own chart, and you'll learn more about your energy type. So actually, in today's episode, we're going to be talking a little bit more about, specifically about the energy tabs, because I think that's where we need to start. So we're going to start with that top layer, understanding the type and how that relates to your business strategy, there's one core principle of human design, and it's simple but powerful, and it's this, we all operate differently, right? And it's not just okay, it's essential that you own that you operate differently from your mother, your father, your children, people around you. We all have different gifts that we're given. We all have a different perspective. We all have different energy levels. And instead of trying to compete against each other, instead of trying to say, oh, that person's success. So I need to act like them to be successful. We are turning back to ourselves and saying, How can I be successful in my own way? So the path to success looks very different from person to person. Your path to success is going to look different from mine, and human design just helps us to embrace that individuality. Now I'm going to be the first to admit that I was skeptical at first when I was introduced to human design back in 2019 I was studying hypnotherapy at that time and just starting my business, and I was around a lot of colleagues, and they were very much into human design, but I pulled my chart. I didn't give it much thought, but it wasn't until this last year, when I saw my business mentors were using it and finding that they were having a lot of success in their own business that I decided to take a deeper dive. And let me tell you, I am so glad I did in this last year of incorporating human design into my business, I've experienced some pretty amazing changes. A lot of opportunities have come my way, and I've been able to retool them so that they work for me. I've gained clarity on my unique gifts and purpose. I've improved my decision making process, and I moved away from unsustainable practices in my business, like having to post on social media all the time. I think what's most interesting to me is that by actually doing less and just being more focused on what feels good, and allowing opportunities to come to me, business is becoming more manageable and enjoyable. I'm not fatigued in the way that I was, and that's a reason I'm so excited to share this with you, because it's been so impactful for me, and I know that it will be impactful for you when you start following your own human design. Now, before we get started and go further, I'd really recommend that you pull your human design chart so that you can follow along. And you can get one for free on my website, if you just look in the show notes, you'll find the link there it is, the traveling hypnotist.com, backslash human dash design, dash chart. If you want to make it even easier, you can DM me the word chart, C, H, A, R, T on Instagram at this is high frequency, and I'll send you the link. Now, let's get into the meat of this. Human Design identifies five energy types, and each has its own optimal way of operating in business. So understanding your type could be the key to unlocking success, and I'm going to break these down. So I'm going to assume you already have pulled your chart, or you already know your type. We're going to start with manifesters. Manifesters, you are the initiators. You are the trailblazers. You are designed to catalyze change and bring new ideas into the world. When I think of manifestors, you are leading the charge. In fact, you're the only one of the energy types that's supposed to just outright initiate. But here's the thing, you need to inform others before you act. So if you're a manifester and you're bulldozing through with your ideas without bringing your team along, this could be why you're facing unnecessary resistance. So I like to think of it this way. Manifesters are going to lead the mission, right? They've got the big vision, the big goal ahead of them. They have a way of seeing the world, and something's going to change as a result of them taking action. When I think about my grandmother and my grandmother as a manifester, she had a vision to move her kids, her family, out of poverty, and she had grown up around that. She had grown up watching men sit on this stoop outside, drink alcohol, become alcoholics and not really living up to their potential. And she saw the thing that was separating people that had money and that didn't was education. So she said, I'm going to get my family out of this neighborhood, no matter what it takes, and we are going to put my kids in good schools, they are going to go to college, and they are going to have an opportunity for real success. And so she had that vision for herself, and there were people that she grew up with who questioned her. They felt like she was trying to be better than them. And. She didn't care. And that is so true of the manifester. When you are in your energy, you don't really care what other people think it's you following your vision. Now, did she have to inform my grandpa that this was her vision for the family? Yes. Did he have to go along with it, yes. So there is an element there. For manifesters, you need to make sure that you're informing people of what you're doing. So in your business, it's really important for you to send quick emails, to have brief meetings, to share your ideas with others before implementing them. You might have a great idea, and by sharing it with others, you can actually get people to join you and to support you and make it bigger than ever. When you are informing you, will see a dramatic reduction in resistance, and your team will buy in faster, or your husband or your wife or your whoever you're impacting with that decision is going to buy in faster generators. You are the second type that we're going to talk about today. So if you see generator on your chart, you have the energy to bring things to life. Now, about 70% of humans are either generators or manifesting generators. That generator energy is all about creation. It's all about the doing you have to do what genuinely excites you. So if your current business model feels like a drag, you're actually working against your nature. When you are lit up, when your body is saying yes, you have so much more energy, and you can put in a lot of work into things make it happen. And even though you might feel tired, your spirit will feel energized, it'll feel purposeful, it'll feel like a mission to you, and that's it's going to keep you going. That doesn't mean that generators should overwork. You certainly need to rest. It's still important for you to wear out your energy during the day and get to sleep and recharge your little battery and then go back out the next day. So it's really important for you to recharge. I'm not saying just because you have all that energy that you should sacrifice your self care. So as you're thinking about your business strategy, build your business around what truly excites you when you are doing that, you will find that your growth can happen very quickly when you revamp your services to focus solely on the things on the projects that light you up, that powerful alignment is going to draw opportunities towards you. So I had a conversation with a woman who runs a PR agency, and she was telling me that she really wants to bring in more wellness clients into her portfolio, and by focusing on what's lighting her up, by going after that business, she has all kinds of interesting ideas that she can put into the proposals and just grow her agency in the direction that is right for her, and she can start to also filter out clients that don't align with her new direction. All right, so we're moving on to the manifesting generators. Now this one's close to my heart, because I'm a manifesting generator myself. We are the multi passionate powerhouses, we sometimes look like we have a little ADHD, to be honest, and we thrive on variety and multiple projects. If you're a manifesting generator and you've been trying to niche down, because that's what all the business gurus tell you to do, you might be stifling your natural energy. So as you think about your business strategy, you really want to embrace your multi passionate nature. Now that can mean creating a business model that allows for variety. So for example, I developed the tth method with my hypnotherapy, and I've been developing high frequency success, which is my business system that incorporates hypnotherapy. But everything I do has a through line, or at least several through lines. In them, it usually has some kind of thread of emotional intelligence, understanding our emotions, understanding other people's emotions, dealing with beliefs, and then the through line of business strategy and marketing, because I've been doing that for 20 years, and I love that I am able to use part of my session to work specifically on business, and use part of this session to work on something that's more emotional, and it. All works together. It's a full system that's been integrated. It's the synthesis of my multi passionate nature. Some people say, Oh, well, I can't actually bring all the things from my business together, because I don't run my own business. I work for someone else, and that's to also understand that you can maybe do something at work, and then you can fill the other parts of your life, your personal time, with other pursuits that don't have to become your business. They can just provide that spice in your life, so that you can feel that variety, so that you're constantly doing something new and and there's also a learning there, right when you're you're doing something that's interesting and deep, diving into another world, you can always gain insights from it and bring it into your career or your business. So ask yourself, How do I allow my multi passionate nature to work for me? Now, if you're resonating with this information and you want to explore how human design can transform your business, I have exciting news. The doors to my high frequency accelerator are now open. So this is my monthly group coaching container, which is designed for savvy and spiritual entrepreneurs and business leaders who are just feeling burnt out and craving an aligned, intuitive approach to business to learn more. Visit my Instagram at this is high frequency, or check out my website at the traveling hypnotist.com now on to projectors. Projectors, your gift is seeing others deeply and guiding energy. So if you're constantly chasing clients and trying to initiate, trying to DM them and make things happen, you're likely going to feel very burnt out and unappreciated when you're thinking about how to move forward as a projector, your business strategy is going to be to focus on building your reputation as an expert. Projectors can go very deep and get a lot of mastery in whatever they're doing, and it's through that mastery that they are recognized. So I've actually seen a lot of projectors start their careers in corporate, and they are so good at what they do, mastering the task at hand, of working on things and being recognized that they often get promoted very easily. They're constantly moving up as leaders and people recognize them as an authority in what they do. So when they make the pivot to starting their own consulting business, it's really easy for them to get hired. Invitations come to them to say, hey, come work with me. Hey, I know you're really great at this. So the consulting route, after being in corporate, works really well for projectors, and I've seen it with a couple of people that I know really well. One thing I would really recommend for projectors is to think about how to create high value content that showcases your insights, because essentially, when people get to know your mastery, you are so attractive to them, it's like the Eiffel Tower. Projectors are like the Eiffel Tower, right? We see you glowing. We see you doing your thing, and we want to be there. We want to be next to you. We want to be in your energy and your presence and your brilliance. That is the essence of a projector. So how can you allow yourself to really shine? How can you allow yourself to show the world your gifts and just allow people to want to be with you, to want to work with you. All right, so we're going to talk about reflectors. And reflectors are the fifth of the five energy types. They're also the rarest type. It's about 2% of humanity that is a reflector. I know one person that is a reflector, and in fact, I'm going to be interviewing her here on the podcast so that you can hear more about her experience. Now, reflectors are designed to essentially mirror culture back to us, so you can mirror the health of a community, the health of a business environment, back to everyone, and it's important for you to understand that as a reflector in your business strategy, it's important for you not to make snap decisions or to even feel pressured to move at somebody else's pace. Gifts, because you're not leveraging your gifts. If you're doing that, you have a body of wisdom that lives inside of you that is of higher consciousness when it is at its highest frequency, and you can help create so much change for an organization, for a person, for a container, when you just allow yourself time to process it all and to give it the depth that it deserves. Now, you might be thinking, this all sounds really interesting, Nicole, but why should I completely rethink my business strategy based on this? Well, let me ask you this. How many times have you tried to implement a business strategy that worked for someone else only to find that it failed for you? How often have you pushed yourself to work in ways that left you feeling drained and unfulfilled? You know, often we push ourselves to continue to make more money and take on more without asking ourselves, does this really light me up? Is this really where I want to devote my energy? And this is where human design brings us back to ourselves. The truth is, in the world of business, we're often told that success comes from hustle, from pushing harder, from doing more. And yet we're at a time when people are feeling burnt out. Their bodies are negatively responding to all the stress. And I should know, because I was one of those people. I started losing my hair. I had stress induced alopecia. I got to a place where I couldn't even eat food without my stomach completely bloating, and it felt like my insides were on fire, and I don't want anyone else to have to live their life that way, for them to feel so stressed out, so afraid, so in the Low Energy of their life that it negatively impacts how they live. It negatively impacts your quality of life, because success in your business isn't about doing more and human design offers a radical perspective, and that is that the most successful business strategy is one that aligns with you. So by understanding and leveraging your unique design, your unique gifts, you can create a business that not only thrives, but also feels authentic and energizing. So let's talk about how to start rethinking your strategy after listening to today's episode, because I want you to start taking steps human design is not just about learning about what you are and then letting it go. It's about embodiment. It's about exploration. It's about making this an experiment for you. Because it's one thing to have information. It's a whole nother thing to know. So I want you to know this. So the first thing I want you to do is to discover your type. So if you didn't already pull your chart, if you're not quite sure what your energy type is, I want you to do that first, and again, you can pull the chart for free on my website, at the traveling hypnotist.com I would also suggest you pull the charts of your relationship partners, of your best friend, of your parents, of your children, to understand that we're all different. Secondly, I want you to audit your current strategy. So look at your current business practices and how many of them align with your energy type? If you're the manifester, are you trailblazing? Are you leading, or are you actually shut down and not using your voice to lead? Are you informing people, if you're the generator, are you checking in with what feels like a yes to you. If you're a manifesting generator, you're also going to have that yes or no quality to you. But are you also allowing yourself to be in a space of being a multi passionate person and not being shameful about it? If you are the projector, are you really mastering something and also allowing people to see your mastery, and if you're the reflector, are you allowing yourself to take time to make big decisions, or are you pressing yourself to get an answer now? So where are you working in alignment, and where are you working out of alignment? None of. Third step here is to experiment, because human design isn't about setting hard, concrete rules. It's about trying to implement changes aligned with your type, and to see how you respond to them, see how they feel. Does it feel better for you to live in this way or not? As we wrap up today's episode, I want to leave you with this thought, what if the key to unlocking your business potential isn't about following someone else's blueprint, but about understanding and leveraging your own unique, energetic makeup? Human Design offers us this powerful tool to do just that, and it's not about limiting yourself or putting yourself in a box. It's about understanding your natural strengths and tendencies so you can work with them, not against them. If you're ready to rethink your business strategy, your energetic blueprint might just be the game changer you've been looking for this whole time.
