Today I'm sharing something that's been coming up repeatedly in my work - a crucial insight about how we often misunderstand alignment in human design, and how this misunderstanding can actually keep us stuck.

The Core Paradox:

We think we need to avoid our "not-self" themes (frustration, anger, bitterness, disappointment) and focus only on our "signature" themes (satisfaction, peace, success, surprise). But this approach completely misses where the real transformation happens.

The Four/Five "Not-Self" Themes:

Generator/Manifesting Generator: Frustration

Manifester: Anger

Projector: Bitterness

Reflector: Disappointment

Here's what most people miss: Your not-self theme is where all the magic is. It's not something to avoid or bypass - it's your access point to deeper alignment.

Why This Matters:

When you resist your not-self themes, you actually create more of what you're trying to avoid. This is the classic "what you resist persists" principle. If you're trying to force yourself into feeling satisfied while pushing away frustration, you're working against yourself.

The real transformation happens when you can lovingly accept and work WITH the parts of you experiencing these not-self themes. This is the actual deconditioning work.

All Themes Apply to All of Us:

Even though you have a specific type in your chart, you'll likely experience all of these themes at different times. I'm a generator, but I resonate with all the signature and not-self themes across all types. We're a blend of all the archetypes - it's never black and white.

The Real Work:

Get curious about your not-self themes instead of judging them

Express these energies healthily (journaling, EFT tapping, movement, screaming into a pillow)

Recognize that frustration, anger, bitterness, and disappointment all stem from the same root fears - not belonging, rejection, not being loved

Celebrate when these themes come up because they're showing you where transformation wants to happen

A Personal Example:

I recently went through intense frustration in my business - wanting to simplify, feeling like I didn't want to continue doing things the same way. Instead of pushing it away, I stayed with it. Now I've found my satisfaction again, with real clarity about what needs to change.

The Invitation:

Human design isn't here to label or limit you. It's an awareness tool showing you where you're not aligned SO YOU CAN work with those parts and become more aligned. The signature themes (satisfaction, peace, etc.) come naturally when you stop resisting the not-self themes.

Information alone doesn't create transformation - it's the repeated practice of working with these aspects of yourself that leads to embodiment and real change.

The Intuitive Human Design Teacher Training & Certification starts October 22, 2025 (and the last day to enroll is November 5, 11am EST). This is where we do the actual work of applying these principles, going beyond information into real transformation - for yourself and you will feel confident doing insanely transformational chart reading and working with clients.

This episode is essential listening for anyone working with human design who feels stuck trying to "be more aligned" or who's been beating themselves up for experiencing their not-self themes.

In this special episode, I share my journey of creating the Intuitive Human Design Teacher Training & Certification and sit down with Dr. Marie Weitbrecht, one of my current certification students, to discuss her experience and transformation.My Journey as a Teacher:I've always been a natural teacher - even in school, I helped other kids with math and loved it. But I didn't know what I was here to teach until human design came into my life about five years ago. When I discovered it, something clicked - it felt like remembering rather than learning something new.What I quickly realized was that the way I understood and shared human design was vastly different from traditional teachings. Human design gave me permission to do things my own way, which was exactly what I'd been frustrated about in the entrepreneurial space - constantly trying to replicate other people's formulas and feeling like a failure when they didn't work.Why This Certification Exists:I noticed that human design was often being taught in ways that actually defeated its purpose - people were outsourcing their authority to the system rather than learning to trust themselves. I wanted to teach it in an expansive, empowering way that helps people tune into their own inner authority.The certification evolved further when I discovered true sidereal astrology (thanks to Marie bringing it to my attention!). Now the program offers both perspectives - tropical and true sidereal - so students can explore what resonates most authentically with them.Conversation with Dr. Marie Weitbrecht:Marie shares her experience taking the certification, including:Why she joined after already completing my previous certificationWhat makes this program unique - the active community and high-level discussionsHer transformation from constant stress to learning to decondition from societal pressureHow her reading style has evolved from "cookie cutter" explanations to intuitive, targeted sessionsWhy she feels confident using human design with her clientsKey Insights from Marie:"I've never seen such an active community in any course... it seems like everyone is on a pulse that is important, and that's very special.""I used to operate from stress maybe 80% of the time. Now I'm really deconditioning around pressure from outside, from society, from what I think other people want from me.""People actually just want help in what's bothering them - they don't need to understand every nitty-gritty detail of their chart."The Invitation:The next cohort of the Intuitive Human Design Teacher Training & Certification begins at the end of October 2025. This is a nine-month transformative journey (like birthing a baby!) where you'll go through your own deconditioning while learning to share human design in your unique, intuitive way.This isn't about memorizing information or giving cookie-cutter readings - it's about deepening your relationship with yourself so you can authentically guide others.If you feel a light, expansive sensation in your body right now, that's your invitation to explore this journey.

In this vulnerable solo episode, I share a real-time example of how the sacral center works in decision-making - using my own journey with the daily Big Leap Year videos I've been creating since my birthday.

The Big Announcement:

I'm officially letting go of the daily Big Leap Year videos on YouTube. Even though I'm around day 170 and committed to it at the beginning of the year, my sacral has been giving me a clear "no" - and I'm finally listening.

Understanding the Sacral Stair Step:

The sacral has a natural rhythm: go up (energized, flowing) → hit plateau (feels dull, "blah") → go back up to next level

The key is recognizing the difference between a temporary plateau (normal - don't quit here!) and genuine misalignment (consistent "no" that doesn't shift)

What starts as a sacral "yes" can change over time - staying connected to your body's current wisdom matters more than past commitments

What I Learned:

I was trying to prove myself and people-please rather than honor my body's wisdom

The daily commitment was draining me and distracting from what truly lights me up (podcasting, true sidereal human design)

When you're consistently pushing and forcing, that's misalignment - not just a plateau

Sometimes we need to experience what's NOT aligned to learn what IS aligned

Key Takeaways:

Not everything aligned will feel amazing 100% of the time - plateaus are normal

Your wellbeing and body's signals should always be the priority

When you let go of what's not yours, you create space for others to step into their zone of genius

The more you slow down and connect to your body (nature, meditation, etc.), the clearer your inner compass becomes

The Invitation:

If you feel called to do the Big Leap Year journey, get the book and do it at your own pace. It's been transformative for me - I'm just continuing it privately now rather than publicly.

This episode is perfect for generators, manifesting generators, or anyone learning to trust their body's wisdom over their mind's commitments.
