Ever wondered why you’re the type of person who needs 10 hours of sleep (or has buttloads of energy without a lot of sleep)? Launches without a plan (or has to plan out every part of your launch)? Gets bursts of inspiration here and there (or seems to always be in a get sh*t done mode)? It might have a whole lot to do with your Human Design.

And that’s what we’re diving into in today’s episode of Unfiltered. We’re dishing on what the hell Human Design is, the five different energy types that exist, and how understanding which one you are can guide you in creating a business (and life) that works best for you.
