    24: So You're a Human Design Projector. Now What?

    Finding out you’re a Projector can explain so much. And then you read about waiting for recognition and invitations, your undefined Sacral, success and bitterness...and think, okay cool, but what the hell am I supposed to do with all of this? Especially when you have a job, a business, kids, relationships, bills, ideas, ambition and an actual life to live. In this episode, we’re talking about the stuff that comes up when you start trying to apply Projector mechanics to real life. Invitations that look good on paper but don’t feel right. Trying way too hard to be recognized. Figuring out your own capacity. And learning to pay attention to where success and bitterness are already showing up.

    23: Are You Manifesting Wrong? What Your Human Design Says

    There’s a LOT of manifestation advice out there... Get super specific. Visualize what you want. Take inspired action. Look for signs. Detach from the outcome. But what if some of that advice just doesn’t work that well for you? That’s what I’m getting into in this episode. There are things sitting in your chart that can tell us how you naturally attract what you want, what you notice, the kinds of places where you tend to thrive, and even how you know whether an opportunity that shows up is something you actually want. And some of it goes against the manifestation advice we’ve all heard a million times. In this episode: Why manifestation advice can work so differently from one person to the nextWhether you really need to get super specific about what you wantThe surprising connection between your surroundings and the opportunities you noticeWhy manifesting an opportunity doesn’t mean you have to say yes to itWhat you may already be picking up from the world around you without realizing itHow your own patterns can follow you right into the things you’ve been asking forWhat Human Design can show you about your own approach to manifestation If you’ve tried different manifestation methods and wondered why some of them feel great and others make you feel like you’re trying way too f*****g hard, you’ll probably enjoy this one.

    19: The Midlife Identity Shifts No One Prepares You For

    In this episode of Rewild by Design, Marissa talks about the identity shifts that so many women experience in midlife but aren’t prepared for. We're talking about the moments when the version of you that’s been holding everything together no longer fits the same way.
