Show Notes:
-Kaila’s story & personal journey: from a young age, she observed animals and how they
instinctively move as a model for how she best operates according to her own Human Design
- Taking PR 101 in college as a catalyst for uncovering her purpose & life’s work
- Kaila’s journey with panic attacks: presenting slides to a team at 3M’s office in one of her first corporate jobs induced her first panic attack
- Kaila’s relationship with her “flight” response to manage anxieties and stressors in her earlier life, including an abusive relationship
- Discovering Human Design and her Projector energy type → feeling equal parts relieved and having an “oh no, I am in the wrong career” moment
- Kaila experienced a major shift when she turned 30 - meeting her wife & getting her first affiliate job
- Debunking a common myth in Human Design.... “There are no limitations.” This is not a system designed to put you in a box or limit you in any way.
- Using Human Design to better connect, collaborate & communicate in our relationships
- Projectors: keep in mind invisible expectations; Generators: keep in mind direct questions
- Thinking about the “authority” type when it comes to communication in our relationships
- Profiles are identities or personalities: look at the “body graph,” and look at the sun top right and top left decimal; the first number is “how you see yourself,” the second number is “how people see you”
- Profile types: 1: natural learners; 2: natural wisdom; 3: lived learner; 4: quality vs quantity when it comes to connections; 5: problem solver; a very social connector; 6: the role model
- Simple steps to let our energetic alignment guide our lives: Know who you’re serving, why they need to be served, and the HOW can be led by human design
- Shifting from being a consumer to being a creator on social media
- On the HD chart, if you have undefined parts of your chart, what you consume impacts how you feel; for example, if you have an undefined heart center, your self-worth can be determined by external factors
- On your HD chart, if you have a defined root, always give yourself a deadline - procrastination can be an attribute
- When it comes to manifestation, it’s important to understand if you’re a non-specific or specific manifestor; leaning into understanding your most important sense to understanding how you feel; understanding how to thrive in certain environments
