There are moments in my work and my own personal growth when something lands so clearly that I wonder how I didn’t see it quite this way before.

This is one of those things.

After 25 years of schooling, independent learning and exploration in the field of coaching and personal development, I’m beginning to see this simple concept as something that binds so much of it together.

Whether I’m working with the conscious mind in coaching, the subconscious in hypnosis, or the energy within our physical bodies in EFT tapping, I keep coming back to the same place.

Am I looking through the lens of Fear or Love?

What I’m learning is that coming from Love doesn’t mean ignoring the Fear. Quite the opposite.

For me, the real work has been getting curious about the Fear first.

What am I afraid of?

Sometimes the answer comes quickly. Sometimes I need to sit with it for a while.

But when I can see what’s underneath it, something shifts. I have another choice available to me.

What would it look or feel like if I came from Love here?

I’m finding that question can change a lot.

Sometimes Love looks like compassion. Sometimes it looks like understanding. Sometimes it means holding a stronger boundary.

But more and more, I recognize the difference by how it feels inside me.

Softer. Less tight. Less rigid.

I’m sharing this because perhaps you’ll want to play with the question too.

I’d love to hear what you discover. ❤️

Love,

My Root Center is undefined.

The Root is a pressure center, and with an undefined Root, we can take in and amplify the pressure around us.

For me, that pressure often felt like urgency.

There was always something I should be doing, finishing or getting off my plate so I could finally relax.

Understanding that this pressure wasn’t always mine gave me the ability to stop automatically reacting to it.

I still have things to do. Of course!

But now I can recognize the difference between what actually needs my attention and that familiar pressure telling me I need to do something RIGHT NOW.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Root Center is defined or undefined?

If yours is undefined, do you recognize that pressure to get everything done so you can finally relax?

This is the final story in this series about the ways understanding my Human Design shifted the way I see myself.

I’ve shared stories about trusting my gut, waiting out my emotional wave, listening to my instincts, trusting who I am, letting go of the need for certainty, proving my worth, filling the silence and now…the pressure to always be doing.

None of these things suddenly disappeared when I learned my Human Design.

I just stopped misunderstanding what they meant.

Human Design gave me language for experiences I’d been having my entire life. It helped me recognize what was naturally mine and what I’d picked up along the way.

And once I could see it, I couldn’t unsee it.

If you’ve been following along, maybe some of my stories have inspired you to dig in and get curious about some of your own.

If you’d like to understand what your Human Design might reveal, I’d love to walk through your chart with you.

One of the greatest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my Will Center.

The Will Center is connected to willpower, value and self-worth.

With an undefined Will, there can be enormous pressure to prove ourselves.

To work harder.

Achieve more.

Say yes when we really want to say no.

All in an attempt to prove that we’re worthy.

I can trace that pattern in myself all the way back to being twelve years old and walking through the doors of a new school feeling like I had something to prove.

Rewiring the subconscious beliefs underneath all that proving has been, and continues to be, the journey of my life.

Human Design helped me understand why trying to continuously prove myself never worked.

But one of the greatest gifts of having an undefined Will has come from the wisdom I’ve gained through that struggle.

I recognize it in other people.

I recognize the striving, the overachieving, the people pleasing, the need to prove.

And beneath all of it, I can see their worth so clearly.

I get to hold that knowing until they’re ready to see it for themselves.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Will Center is defined or undefined?

If yours is undefined, where might the need to prove yourself still be showing up in your life?

One of the greatest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my Throat Center.

The Throat is the center of communication and expression.

With an undefined Throat, there can be pressure to speak, to fill the silence, or to say something in order to be heard or noticed.

But there’s also incredible wisdom in the openness.

An undefined Throat has the potential to become deeply attuned to what needs to be expressed and, just as importantly, what doesn’t.

For me, that has meant learning to listen.

Not just to what’s being said, but to what’s underneath it.

Sometimes I hear the thing a client is struggling to put into words and get to give voice to it.

Other times, the most powerful thing I can do is say nothing at all.

I don’t need to fill the silence anymore.

I can trust the pause.

And I can trust that when there is something to be said, the words will come.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Throat Center is defined or undefined?

If yours is undefined, do you recognize that pressure to fill the silence or have you discovered some of the wisdom in waiting?

One of the greatest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my Ajna Center.

The Ajna is where we process information, form opinions and create beliefs about what we think is true.

With an undefined Ajna, there can be pressure to be certain. We can absorb the beliefs and opinions of the people around us and hold onto them because certainty feels safer than questioning what we’ve always believed.

But there’s another side to an undefined Ajna.

There’s wisdom in the openness.

We’re able to see different perspectives, consider new ideas, change our minds and allow our understanding to evolve.

For me, this has shown up most profoundly in my beliefs about God and organized religion.

I spent much of my life believing that questioning what I’d been taught somehow meant questioning my faith.

Human Design helped me see those as two very different things.

Today I give myself permission to stay curious and open, without needing to land on one absolute answer.

And ironically, the more I’ve allowed myself to question, the deeper my faith and spirituality have become.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Ajna Center is defined or undefined?

If you do, has understanding it changed the way you relate to certainty, your opinions or even your willingness to change your mind?

One of the greatest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my Crown Center.

The Crown is where we experience mental pressure.

If your Crown Center is undefined, you may recognize the feeling of wanting to understand everything…and wanting to understand it right now.

Why did this happen?

What’s the answer?

What am I missing?

For years, I thought it was my job to uncover those answers as quickly as possible for my clients.

What I eventually discovered was something much more important.

Real healing takes time.

Not because people are broken…

but because lasting transformation isn’t something you rush.

Today I coach very differently.

I don’t feel responsible for having all the answers.

I create the space for my clients to uncover their own.

That’s where the deepest insights emerge.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Crown Center is defined or undefined?

If you do, has understanding it changed the way you relate to the pressure to find answers?

One of the greatest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my G Center.

The G Center is our identity, direction and love.

It’s our inner compass.

For those of us with a defined G Center, there’s a consistent sense of who we are beneath all of life’s experiences. That doesn’t mean we never question ourselves or that relationships don’t change. It means there’s a steadiness underneath it all that we can learn to trust.

Looking back, I can see I wasn’t losing myself.

I was losing my voice.

Little by little, I stopped saying what I really thought because it felt easier than creating conflict.

Human Design didn’t suddenly give me confidence.

It reminded me that I can trust who I am, even when someone else doesn’t understand it.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your G Center is defined or undefined?

If you do, has understanding it changed the way you see yourself?

One of the greatest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my Spleen Center.

The Spleen is often misunderstood.

People call it intuition, but I think of it more as instinct.

It’s your body’s immediate knowing.

It doesn’t explain itself.
It doesn’t repeat itself.
It simply says, “This feels right,” or “Something’s off.”

Then it’s gone.

For those of us with a defined Spleen, those instinctive nudges are consistent. They often show up in the body before the mind has a chance to catch up.

Looking back, I can see my body was trying to get my attention long before I understood what it was saying.

The headaches weren’t the message.

They were my body’s way of saying, “Please pay attention.”

Learning to trust those quiet instincts has changed the way I move through the world.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Spleen Center is defined or undefined?

If you do, has understanding it changed the way you trust your instincts?

One of the greatest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my Solar Plexus Center.

Before discovering Human Design, I thought my emotions were something I needed to control or fix.

I couldn’t understand why some days I felt so clear and optimistic, while other days everything seemed heavier. More than anything, I didn’t understand the impact those emotional highs and lows were having on my relationships.

Then I learned I have a defined Solar Plexus Center.

For those of us with a defined Solar Plexus, emotions naturally move in waves. There isn’t anything wrong with us when we’re riding a high or sitting in a low. The wave is simply part of how we’re designed.

One of the greatest lessons of a defined Solar Plexus is that clarity doesn’t come from reacting in the middle of the wave—it comes from waiting until the wave has passed.

When I give my emotions time to settle, I express myself more honestly, I listen more deeply, and I often realize what felt so urgent wasn’t really the issue at all.

That simple practice has transformed my marriage.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Solar Plexus Center is defined or undefined?

If you do, has understanding your emotional wave changed the way you relate to your feelings?

One of the biggest gifts Human Design gave me was understanding my Sacral Center.

The Sacral is our life force energy. It’s also deeply connected to our gut response—those instinctive “uh-huh” and “uh-uh” feelings that arise before the mind has a chance to weigh in.

If your Sacral Center is defined (Generators and Manifesting Generators), you’ll often experience a consistent gut response. It isn’t something you think your way into. It’s something you feel in your body.

That’s exactly what happened to me standing on that empty lot.

If your Sacral Center is undefined (Manifestors, Projectors and Reflectors), your wisdom doesn’t come from a consistent gut response. Instead, you experience and amplify the Sacral energy of the people around you, and your body communicates with you in different ways.

Neither is better.

They’re simply different ways of moving through the world.

For years, I interpreted my experience as impulsivity.

Now I understand it was my body communicating with me in the way it naturally does.

✨ I’m curious…

Do you know whether your Sacral Center is defined or undefined?

If you do, has understanding it changed the way you trust your gut?
