Hey friend, I'm Nicole Hoover, and this is Living My Human Design.A no-rules, off-the-cuff podcast about what it actually looks like to live this wild Human Design experiment in real time.I'm an Emotional Manifesting Generator traveling full-time across the U.S. in a 25' motorhome with my husband. Life is anything but linear, and neither is this podcast.Here you'll hear me reflect on what I'm learning, the people and places that light me up, the emotional waves I ride, and the deep truths that surface when I choose to live by design instead of conditioning.This isn't about doing it perfectly. It's about doing it honestly. Raw, inspired, uncertain, empowered, and always inviting you to experiment with your own design.No polished scripts. No fixed format. Just voice notes from the road, from my heart to yours.Because Human Design isn't something you study. It's something you live.

    When Someone Else’s Emotions Fill the Room

    Send us Fan Mail Yesterday, my husband had a really difficult day at work, and I found myself reacting to his emotional experience in a way I did not expect. In this short reflection, I share what the moment revealed about emotional energy, old patterns, and the difference between supporting someone and trying to change what they are feeling.

    Why I Stopped Planning Everything Out (And What Happened When I Let My Design Lead)

    Send us Fan Mail Hello and welcome back. It's been a few months, I know, but this might just be what my consistency looks like — and now I've got a new microphone to keep me motivated, so we'll see. This one's a real-time download. I'm recording from the road as we start our slow migration south for the winter, working our way toward Arizona by way of visiting our son and his wife, some old friends, my husband's aunt's 80th birthday by the ocean, and a stop at Kodachrome Basin, right next to Bryce Canyon, somewhere Ryan and I have wanted to explore for a while now. I'm also seven months into my role with Bodygraph, and I get into what that's taught me about actually living my design instead of just knowing about it. I talk about the moment I catch myself almost every time — that sacral push getting excited before my emotional wave has finished doing its work, and what happens when I let myself take off too soon. I share the Notion system I built to catch my own ideas before they disappear into this open head and undefined Ajna of mine. And I keep coming back to something I've noticed over and over: the plans I let go of usually take me somewhere better than the ones I force. There's no big reveal in this one and no neat bow at the end. Just me thinking out loud about pacing, comparison, and what it actually feels like to trust my own timing instead of measuring myself against everyone else's. If you've ever felt behind because you're not moving as fast as someone you admire, I hope this one lands somewhere in your chest before it lands in your head.

    Episode 34: Trusting the Mess — Strategy, Authority & the Beauty of Not Knowing

    Send us Fan Mail This one's coming to you live from the red rocks and wide-open skies near Zion National Park — and honestly, the landscape says everything this episode is about. In this episode, I'm getting real about what it actually looks like to trust your strategy and authority in everyday life. Not the polished version. The real one — the messy, nonlinear, beautiful version that an MG like me lives on the daily. I share what my emotional authority actually feels like from the inside — not the textbook explanation, but the lived, embodied experience of riding the wave and learning to trust it. I talk about how hard it is for me to plan for the future (and why that's not actually a flaw), why divine timing has become something I don't just believe in but rely on, and how I could have never — never — seen myself in this role as an onboarding assistant with Bodygraph one year ago today. We drove through Zion and spotted mountain goats on the cliffs, and it cracked something open. Nature has a way of doing that. It reminds you that things unfold exactly as they're meant to, in their own perfect timing. If you've ever felt like your path doesn't make sense, like you can't see far enough ahead, or like your process is too messy to trust — this episode is for you. In This Episode: What it feels like to be in nature and fully in your bodyMy honest experience living with emotional authority — the waves, the waiting, the clarityThe winding path that led me to become an onboarding assistant with Bodygraph (and why I couldn't have planned it)Why planning for the future is genuinely hard for me, and how I've made peace with thatDivine timing — what it means to actually trust it, not just say you doWhat it looks like to be a Manifesting Generator in real life (hint: it's gloriously messy)Mountain goats, red rock canyons, and what nature teaches us about flowConnect + Resources: 📍 Currently somewhere beautiful near Zion National Park Get your FREE Chart Bodygraph VA Services Connect with me on Facebook Connect with me on Instagram Website: https://www.livingmyhumandesign.com Personalized Human Design Reports https://www.livingmyhumandesign.com/reports Join Bodygraph Chart If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs the reminder that their path doesn't have to look linear to be right.

    Eposide 33: One Door Closed, Another Opened: Following What Lit Me Up

    Send us Fan Mail Hi friend. This episode is a real-time update on what has been unfolding behind the scenes over the last few months. I’m sharing how I went from signing up as a BodyGraph Virtual Assistant simply to learn the software… to stepping fully into a role supporting onboarding and demos directly with BodyGraph. It’s a story about alignment.  About letting go of what felt familiar.  About trusting emotional clarity instead of rushing forward on excitement.  About handing over a 25-year business to my husband.  And about watching doors open that I never could have planned. This is Living My Human Design in motion. Messy. Exciting. Unexpected. And deeply aligned. If this episode resonated, I’d love to hear from you. What doors have opened in your life that you never could have planned? Until next time.

    Episode 32: When It's Mildly Inconvenient

    Send us Fan Mail You know those things that are just mildly inconvenient—so you don’t do them? That’s where this episode begins. I talk about how even something as simple as digging out my microphone can keep me from recording, and how awareness of those little resistances can shift everything. From there, I wander into what’s been lighting me up lately—how my VA work has felt almost effortless. Clients keep finding me, projects flow naturally, and it’s all happening in such alignment that it honestly feels fun to watch it unfold. Working with my VA clients gives me something to respond to, and I love how those interactions spark new ideas. I also share how I’ve been using ChatGPT as part of that creative flow. It gives me something tangible to respond to—ideas to refine, concepts to expand—which keeps my creative energy alive and moving. And finally, I circle back to something that’s been calling me for a while: creating a Centers podcast series. One month, one center, living and exploring it in real time. The thing that’s held me back before? I’m not a great journaler. But this time, I’m trying something new—recording voice notes instead of writing, and sharing daily check-ins on Instagram as I go. This is all still in the creation phase—messy, exciting, and real. I want to show that the experiment doesn’t have to be polished to be powerful. It can be fun, fluid, and imperfect… and that’s kind of the point. Stay tuned—something new is brewing.

    Episode 31: Seasons of Change: Building, Moving, and Coming Back to the Body

    Send us Fan Mail Hello Friend, This summer flew by. Much of it was spent stationary — helping my mother-in-law sell her home, pack it up, and move to Phoenix. Now we’re in Montana, taking care of our annual doctor visits and giving our RV a little reset before heading south for the winter. What surprised me most about this season is how much I’ve poured into building my new BodyGraph Virtual Assistant business. I had no idea how much it would light me up. The creative building process took over in the best way — but I realized I wasn’t moving my body or caring for myself the way I needed to. In this episode, I share how I’m getting back into the habit of movement, simple tips for starting again, and the reminder that it doesn’t have to be complicated. I also mention one of my favorite resources: darebee.com — a site full of free workout plans for every level of fitness. This year, I intent to bring you along for the journey as we head into our next season on the road.

    Episode 30 - Saying Goodbye to Bailey: A Lesson in Trusting Timing

    Send us Fan Mail Hello Friend, This episode is tender. I recorded it the day after we said goodbye to our sweet Bailey. From her diagnosis to her final breath, it was a whirlwind of emotions, decisions, and surrender. I wasn’t sure I would ever release this episode. It took me a month just to listen back and edit out the long pauses. But I promised you raw, and this is me — raw, unfiltered, and still very much in it. What I share here is more than the story of losing my dog. It’s about the way our bodies speak to us, the way intuition guides us when the mind can’t make sense of what’s happening, and the way divine timing holds us, even when it breaks our hearts. If you’re walking through your own season of grief or letting go, I hope this episode offers you companionship and a reminder: you don’t have to rush your process. Your body knows. Your intuition knows. And timing — as painful as it can be — can also be trusted.

    Episode 29 - Creative Highs, Emotional Lows, and Finding My Pace: Living My Human Design in Real Time

    Send us Fan Mail I’m riding the waves between creative fire and the quiet aftermath. After a year in the making — and an intense few months of focus — my Rapid Chart Assessment Tool has officially launched, and I couldn’t be more lit up about it. But now comes the crash: the part where my mind screams, “What’s next?!” In this episode, I share the real, behind-the-scenes journey: The exhilaration and exhaustion of launching the RCAT and several other Human Design reportsHow my open Head and undefined G center pull me into pressure, comparison, and the urge to “do more”My experiment with slowing down and listening to my sacral responses (instead of letting my mind run the show)How I’m using tools like the Day One app to capture ideas and give them space to breathe before actingWhy I’m learning to embrace the messy process of experimenting and sharing my path as it unfoldsIf you’ve ever felt the push-pull between creative inspiration and burnout — or wondered how to actually experiment with your design instead of just thinking about it — this one’s for you. I’m inviting you into my world, raw and unfiltered, as I practice living my Human Design as a 3/5 Emotional Manifesting Generator. Let’s see where this next chapter goes… together.
