In this episode, Coach Kelly has a conversation with podcast host Shabana Knight where they talk about self care, guiding values and Human Design.

Understanding and taking care of yourself is NOT selfish. Gratitude is Shabana's secret to being able to bring her most vibrant self, filled with golden light, into the world.

Key Takeaways: :

• Give permission to be yourself: Honor the way you do life best. Protect your energy and say no when needed.
• Notice with gratitude: Our lives are meant to overflow with love and light, making it easier to give to others without running on empty. You can’t do that if you don’t take care of yourself.
• Allow your values to guide you: Create time for genuine rest, and other powerful practices (e.g., exercise, journaling, etc.)

Each of the five Human Design energy types (Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Reflector) has distinct energy patterns and communication styles.

By understanding what feels satisfying or frustrating (for Generators, for example) or what brings peace or anger (for Manifestors), individuals can better align their actions and communication, leading to more fulfillment and less wasted energy.

1. Manifestors are initiators—others feel their presence before they speak.

• Communication: Clear, direct informing is essential. Manifestors should not assume others understand their actions; proactive communication prevents confusion or alienation.
• Alignment Check: Notice if you feel peaceful (in alignment) or enraged (out of alignment).

2. Generators “move things along” and can work extensively when energized.

• Communication: Authenticity matters. Generators should listen to their gut (the sacral response)—making sounds like “uh-huh” or “uh-uh” can help clarify true desires and satisfaction.
• Alignment Check: Notice feelings of satisfaction (in alignment) versus frustration (out of alignment).

3. Manifesting Generators are the hybrid of generator and manifestor. They are fast, nonlinear, and enjoy juggling multiple interests and projects.

• Communication: Share enthusiasm without overwhelming others with the full scope of your excitement. Hone in on what truly lights you up and communicate that succinctly.
• Alignment Check: Similar to generators, attending to gut responses ensures decisions stay true to your energy.

4. Projectors “see” others deeply and often offer wise counsel.

• Communication: Wait for invitations before sharing insights—unsolicited advice may be wasted or even resented. Invitations ensure that energy is well-received.
• Alignment Check: Are your insights being invited and appreciated? Use this as your barometer.

5. Reflectors are the rarest type; open and reflective, sampling the energy of everyone around them.

• Communication: Take your time (even up to a month) to process and respond. There is no need to provide immediate answers.

Alignment Check: Are you honoring your need for time and not succumbing to pressure for quick responses?

How often do the things that are truly important TO YOU get procrastinated or pushed out completely? How often do you put together your to do list without prioritizing or without considering your available time and energy?

Taking the time to think about how to match your time and your energy can make all the difference in reaching your goals and achieving the results you seek for your life. What’s truly important should show up on your calendar. On the face of it, that seems SO obvious. But are you really doing that in reality? And then berate yourself for not “getting it all done”? Take a listen and learn how to steer your calendar “ship” in a different direction.

Main points:

• Make a chart of time, task, and thoughts for the major tasks in your life.
• Use the three main categories of priorities: self care, responsibilities, relationships to sort the tasks.
• Use your available energy - not imaginary energy, when creating your calendar.
• Make sure there's a balance over the course of a month.
• Consider what can be delegated, eliminated or modified.
• Try to make these decisions with compassion for your future self.
