Ever felt like you're on autopilot, living life according to the expectations of others? Imagine finding a system that helps you understand your unique energy type and enables you to live in alignment with it. That's exactly what our special guest, Holly Maree shares with us today. Holly's journey from traditional business to the online space led her to the intriguing world of human design, a layered system that combines spirituality and science. She reveals the five energy types in human design: generators, manifesting generators, projectors, manifesters, and reflectors, shedding light on their unique characteristics and strengths.

Our chat with Holly takes a deeper turn as she shares her transformation with human design. In what seemed like a clash between spirituality and science, Holly initially resisted the allure of human design. But the magic unfolded when she decided to embrace it and integrate it into her work as a spiritual business coach. Holly paints an honest picture of the challenges she faced in focusing her business on manifesters, a niche within human design. The wisdom Holly imparts illuminates the complexity of human design and teases out its potential for personal empowerment and alignment. If you're seeking a fresh perspective on your spiritual journey, this is an episode that you'll not want to miss.

So how are you energetically different from everybody else? Right? So a lot of systems we have talked about how we have similarities to other people. We categorize, we group down, we look at where we're the same as other people. Human Design goes in the opposite direction, and says, let's look at all of the ways that you're different and give you some language around that so that you feel a sense of permission. And that permission allows a space of healing, which is why I really, really love it.

Well, if you guys don't know by now, I love every single guest that comes on who speaks about mind body spirit aspects around the spiritual part of who you are. But my guest today is special because I've not had this subject come on this whole last three and a half years I've been doing my podcast. So I am pleased to welcome Holly Marie a manifester. So welcome, Holly. 

01:41 

Thank you so much. I'm excited. 

01:45 

I would love you to share being that you're the first guest has had the subject and is passionate about what you do is who you are. And what do you do, Holly?

01:56 

Well, my name is Holly. Obviously, if you didn't guess from the accent, I'm Australian. So based on the other side of the world, 

02:03 

I largely operate 

02:05 

in a broad sense in the field of energetics. So I've been in the online space for about five years now, I came from a long, long, long business history. Before this. I've been a business owner for about 15 years. But I used to be in hospitality and events, owning businesses through there. And five years ago, I moved online. And really, it was for me through my spiritual awakening. And I wanted to have a space where I could share at least to the people who were a couple of steps behind me. And my theory for a long time was whatever is two steps back. That's what I can teach. That's what I can bring people. So like most people in the online space, I've had a lot of evolutions through that business journey, a lot of different niches and topics and areas but they've always been amongst the energetics and business space. These days for for nearly three years now I have been a human design teacher. So the Human Design System is an incredible system of understanding energetics with a personalized blueprint. I also focus a lot on gene keys, I integrate that deeply into human design because they they work so beautifully in harmony with each other. And I ran a community specifically for manifest errs, which is one of the energy types out of human design. So we're a rare energy type, we're only 9% of the population. So it's a quirky little community that I've got going on. And I specialize in teaching all things about manifestos and business and energetics to manifest. Wow. 

03:40 

So tell me how many different types of human design styles are there? 

03:46 

Yeah, we have human design is a very layered system. Right? It's I like to call it an onion. The the technical textbook term for human design is that it's called The Science of differentiation. So essentially, all that means is, how are you energetically different from everybody else? Right. So a lot of systems, we have talked about how we have similarities to other people, we categorize, we group down, we look at where we're the same as other people, human design goes in the opposite direction, and says, let's look at all of the ways that you're different and give you some language around that so that you feel a sense of permission. And that permission allows a space of healing, which is why I really, really love it. And on that surface layer, the very outside layer of the onion, which is probably the only slightly more generalized part of human design. We have five different energy types. So we have our generators. They are at about 37% of the population. So the most dominant group and our generators are we call

them sacral. Beings, right? They they love to respond. They love to be creative, they get very satisfied by doing things. Generally, they're the builders. Anything that has ever been built or sustained or mastered, has been done. by a generator, and when they're in alignment, they are sunshine. They're so vibrant, and they're so happy and they can light up a whole room. They're beautiful people to be around. Then we have our manifesting generators as the next group. And our manifesting generators are about 33% of the population. And they're a hybrid between a generator and a manifester, hence, manifesting generator. So they're kind of like generators on steroids, right? They're the people who can build can sustain can master but they're also really innovative, very independent. They're the people in society who can genuinely multitask. And they do. They're doing many things at once. They're bouncing around and they thrive in that environment. So we see a lot of celebrities, artists, politicians, business owners are manifesting generators, because they can kind of do it. All right, they're there. Again, when in alignment, they're beautiful hurricanes, and they can do things very quickly. Then we have our projectors, which is what you are, which is super exciting. I love projectors, projectors there at about 20% of the population. And then non sacral beings, they're the first of the non sacral. So they don't have that responsiveness, right? They're much energetically, kind of quieter, slower, needing a lot more rest. The projectors have this ability to penetrate things. So they see, they see detail, they see complexity they see the projectors are the people in your life that will say I see what your problem is, and I see how to solve it. And I want to guide you through that whole process. I want to be here to teach you to do that. So we see a ton of projectors in the online space in coaching which is beautiful. We see a lot of projectors in the education sphere as well as teachers and educators so beautiful. Barack Obama was a projector is a projector, right? So we can see some really cool examples of them in places like government as well. But projectors just, they have this way of kind of just taking stock of everything and helping you to understand it, which we absolutely need. They are really probably the the leaders of society if we we boil it down, then we have manifestos which is my energy time. So that's where it 9% of the population manifest is kind of different to everybody else. So we are also non sacral. So we're tired and we need to rest a lot, we can't respond heaps. But we have a closed energy where everybody else has some kind of open energy. A manifester has a closed energy. So we operate in this role of really being visionaries, we tend to, we have what we call creative urges. So we will bring just these crazy ideas, these crazy concepts, these things that have never been done before, never been seen, never been created. We bring them from that five D, you know, non conceptual place. And we birthed them into reality, we make them and then once that process is done, we're done. We don't want to sustain it. We don't want to keep building it. We don't want to hang around for it. We just want to kind of birth it, drop it and then we're disconnected and we go into long periods of rest. So manifestos tend to be the most misunderstood people because people can't get a clear read on our energy. They either we call it a repelling or magnetizing. So they either really magnetized people really, really inspire people, or people get very threatened by that lack of predictability by that inability to automatically read you and now they'll veer away and kind of naturally hate a manifester. Without any understanding of why they're hating them. They just get very triggered. So we have some really cool manifestos to look at as examples. Adele is a great manifester, really beautiful. And you'll see that, you know, Adele comes out once every five years and creates this epic album of her work and releases it and inspires people. And it goes crazy. And then she disappears again. She's gone. Right? We also have curiously at the moment in the Russia Ukraine situation, both Putin and so both sides of politics are actually manifested. So we've got these kind of to manifest is going head to head but one of them obviously, the Ukrainian government is led by this energy that is very altruistic, right? It's about power to the people. It's this visionary bringing all the people together. But then on the Russian side, we have this force for destruction that wants to divide and separate so can manifest is can go either way. And we've got some curious ones through history. And then our fifth group are the reflectors who

are at 1%. So they're kind of our unicorns. If you have reflect your in your life, it's an exceptional gift to have them around, they have completely open energy completely open. And what they do is reflect they mirror. So a reflector is a person that you can be around and you feel like you are really witnessed and really held, because they're taking all of your energy and they're processing it at this very deep, very spiritual level. And then they just reflect it back to you gently, and it gives you the opportunity to see yourself. So we have some really, really gorgeous gifts that are brought to society by reflectors, but they do they need to be looked after they very much need to be nurtured and protected. So what 

10:42 

got you involved in this? 

10:46 

Oh, you know, like most people in human design, it kind of found me, it's a bit of a quirky system where a lot of people try to run away from it, and it just, it just chases you. 

10:58 

I, I knew, Greg, this will be 

11:02 

in your life. I had a number of people that I knew in the business space and in my personal space that were into human design, and I was I was very against it. I didn't want another system I you know, I don't necessarily buy into the idea of having to label yourself I think we get trapped in that in the spiritual world. It can be you know, I identify myself by being a life path, whatever, or this or that. So at first, I really didn't want Human Design at all, and was then involved in a mastermind with a beautiful human design persons. Just as another participant in the mastermind. Her name is Eden carpenter. She's a phenomenal human design teacher. And I did a retreat in LA back in 2020, and stayed in an Airbnb with Eden. And she really just dumped human design all over me for days and days and days. And I had a super conscious moment where I said, Okay, I've been resisting this for about 18 months. If you're going to keep bringing this at me, this is energetically going to keep coming back into my space, then hands up, I surrender, whatever it is, I'm here, I will go down the rabbit hole I'm available. And when I reentered back into Australia, after that retreat, we went straight into lockdown for COVID. So that gave me the opportunity to actually pulled down my whole my whole business, I'd been a spiritual business coach up until that point, pull down my whole business, I certified in human design and Gene keys and a number of other tools. And at the end of 2020, rebuilt my business out as a human design community specifically for manifest errs, which at the time was the first of its kind that hadn't been done in human design before. Of course, manifester do anything that has never been done. And now I don't really remember what life was like without viewing it all through the lens of human design. Now, it's a very normal language. What's

12:58 

interesting, because I've, I've had my chair, I did my chart many years ago. And, and then of course, I've done gene keys, some gene keys, but I, and I haven't really got into the human design too much. And I was it's interesting that, like I said, at the beginning, I've had a lot of 

people kind of flow through, you know, healers doing the same type of things, you know, tapping or, or breathwork or, but not many, I haven't had anyone come through with human design. So it's very unique. It's very specialized. I'm assuming, is that true? 

13:29 

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. It's, it's a complex system. It's what we call a hybrid system. So it's, it's actually built off this convergence of a number of different languages that we already have. So on this spiritual side, we have astrology, Kabbalah, the eaching, the chakra system, and then on this almost more scientific, kind of black and white, semi masculine side, we actually have biomechanics and epi genetics, we look at a lot of environmental factors, it's a lot of physiology. So there's a lot of different perspectives with which you can look at human design and and the beautiful thing about that is that people will study it in all different ways and represent it in all different ways. And we have such a flood of projectors coming into human design over the last couple of years, of course, right because projectors are so good at seeing that complexity and taking a part out of that and then guiding that into something new. But the system itself was was created back in the 1980s and was taught by a man called rod room he was a manifester, as well, his real name was Adam crack now out sorry Alan crack now, he renamed himself right guru, very manifester thing to do and he taught he taught Human Design up until the early 2000s When he passed away and and kind of just had a small cohort of people that lived with him in pizza and he taught and taught him Hold on, some of those people are still around teaching human design. I don't think it became all that mainstream until probably 2019 2020. Really, it was this lineup of the pandemic, and human design taking this kind of Center Stage position in a lot of the, like, personal development, spirituality spaces. So it's a system and a phrase that is, is far more known now. But I really do feel for the people that have been in it, you know, since the 80s, or the 90s, or the early 2000s. Because it was, it was very left of center for a longest 

15:37 

it's not that long ago. No, not at all. Or, you 

15:42 

know, 2000 years ago it 

15:44 

that's really recent.

15:47 

Absolutely, yeah, I think it's probably the newest system of energetics. That is around as far as I know. Anyway. 

15:54 

And I think it's interesting to Holly how you went to your you've created this manifesto, community, a podcast, you know, like you're on it for the manifestos, which is really exciting, because that's your niche. Like, I read your bio, where it said, how you were like, you know, I'm just doing my I'm doing manifestos, and you really had to give up a lot of your clientele, because they weren't that. So how challenging that was. 

16:19 

Oh, crazy, absolutely crazy. And, you know, for me, as a person who has come from that, that business history and brick and mortar business, which is where I had been for a long time, it's slightly different. I mean, it's just a different business concept altogether, but it's, it's very, A 

plus B equals C, you have a product, you know, people to sell it to you make it available to sell, tada, there you go, you make you make money. And coming into the online space, those first couple of years in the online space. I mean, I was wandering the wellness world, sorry, wandering the wilderness, like everybody is, right. It's a, there's no rulebook in, in the online business game. And there are billions of people that you could potentially be talking to, and there are millions of voices already speaking to those people. So it's a challenging arena to be in. And I'd already built my way up to a six figure business as a coach, which, which was a challenge to do. And when that that feeling initially came to me of, you know, this is successful, but it's, it's not actually aligned. It's, again, one of those situations, much like my previous businesses had been of this is successful on the outside, but I'm not feeling any of that success. I don't like it, I don't enjoy doing this, I don't feel satisfied or peaceful or any of those things I want to be feeling. So I made the decision to pull it all down having no idea where that was going to take anything, I really had no concept of where I was going to rebuild it, when I was going to rebuild it, what that was going to look like so that was about eight months that I sat just pretty much dwindling down all of the capital in my business, just keeping a couple of my staff ticking over making some social media content. That was it, I had no clients, no programs, no nothing. And when I came back out at the at the end of 2020, and really felt, okay, um, I'm just going to specialize now, in 9% of the population that was completely illogical, completely illogical. And I There were actually some people that left my team because of that, because that doesn't, doesn't make sense to do that. And it's really starting from scratch and I was very much sort of retrenching 91% of my existing audience in the hope that the people that remained were going to be the ones that would understand my message, but it very quickly took off very, very quickly took off and became a really beautiful place of healing so I think it's it's always that experience in spiritual growth in you know, healing your own wounds in narrating your own way through a different pathway just as a human that were terrified of the risk. We're terrified of the unknown and yet the more trusting you can be of that the greater the expansion is on the other side. Yeah, 

19:21

19:21 

it's so empowering to to hear you talk about that and say how you really trusted and what you weren't really passionate about or weren't really feeling in your heart and now you are and like you said, gangbusters, it went like blew up and you know, like manifester defining you manifest 

is a working with you man. And I noticed on your website, you've got manifest errs that are also doing these readings that are around the world. So it's beautiful Holly. So what about manifesting? What do we do for like, you know, I know how do you get your project? There you reflectors over there? What the hell Oh, 

20:02 

I mean, the cool thing is we now have a lot of voices in human design, which is great. And amongst my favorites, probably de Luna, Aaron Claire Jones, Karen curry Parker, Karen curry actually studied with Riot Roo, who she was one of those original s students have here. So she's got some really great insight. She's been working with the system for, you know, 30 years at this point. But I think what's really beautiful for me is now seeing that we, we have this kind of pop up of all of these beautiful communities for specific types, which didn't, that didn't used to be a thing until we did it over here for manifester. So, for projectors, we've got the projector movement or projectors invited for our generators and manifesting generators, we have pure generators, an exceptional exceptional community. For reflectors, there are a couple of communities My favorite one is haich D undefined so so I think that there's some way to go for everyone and that's, that has its own healing to it is that we're now finding places of belonging with each 

21:09 

other like that. And so these are I mean, like I just went online and put in my I found a website put in my information, which is my birthday, where I live where I was at the time, all the things you do for astrology and then up came you know, my chart so is that what is that where you would suggest people go to to find out what they are first? 

21:28 

Absolutely, absolutely. You are going to need your birth information just like you would for an astrology natal chart reading that is specific to the minute of your birth your your chart can change from minute to minute, so you definitely do need to know your birth time and not just an approximate like Oh, I was born at 8am ish. Now make sure you get your birth time because there are plenty of people who come into human design and for three years think that there are a generator only to discover that in fact, there are a projector oops. So you probably need to get that information now. And then there are several chart generating tools now. So my favorite is genetic matrix. You can also go to Jovian archive my body graph.com You can just go to Google type in human design, and you will find it there's now a plethora of information out there available and several free charts generate and 

22:17 

if you're a manifester, we know where to go. Right. Your community Holly.

22:24 

You're welcome. I mean, part of part of the the experience of being a manifester is that we hate being told what to do. So I would never ever tell a manifester that they have to come and be part of the manifester community. But if you desire to, the doors are open. You're welcome. There's 

22:38 

a lot of opportunity there. Right, there's a lot of people to share with and it's so beautiful. So in leaving this, this up podcast, Holly, I'd love for you to give some insights, as far as you know, like what someone can really embrace in finding out more about the human design for themselves, what is, you know, something that really stands out that you go, this is why I would guide someone to do this. 

23:02 

You know, I think for me, coming into human design wasn't necessarily about understanding myself anymore, I was already very engrossed in that, that personal development space and have a lot of tools had a lot of languages had a lot of systems. And I think that that's true of a number of people coming into human design is that self awareness is not the goal, necessarily, for some people it is and it's an amazing system for that alone. But for those who are already self aware, and kind of wondering why why would I even bother? Why add another thing into this when I'm already on that journey already? What human design offers you is this space of getting that clarity of this is what is me and this is what is not me. And that's been the most pivotal part of, of studying human design. And being a student of human design myself is seeing all of these aspects of my myself and my behavior that really are conditioning, there are parts of me that I've taken on, from expectations from other people from wounded relationships, from childhood trauma, from being a non sacral person in a very sacral world. And the journey has been about allowing all of those parts to die off, to go away. And what that allows me to do and a lot of other people in human design to do is to then just shine more fully as yourself when you're not carrying that baggage. It's not about how do I become a better version of me and more about how can I release all of these things that are not allowing me to be me. And that's, that's when I step into a space of alignment. That's when I say step into a space of of empowerment and you know, personal power and ownership and expression and all those beautiful things. And ultimately, that's that's really where success comes from. That's that's the end result. Oh, so it's expensive. That's a very, very expensive way I find of, of doing that self Genet and 

25:07 

bringing forth that authenticity. Absolutely. And like, and I also like the word discernment. So I hear you saying is, there's a lot of discernment of what's me what's not me? And how can I really work and walk in this world? The way I need to as a predictor?

25:25 

Yeah, absolutely. I think that what we find in a lot of those more outward facing systems, so even when we're looking at things like astrology, perhaps or, you know, Enneagram, or Myers Briggs, or a lot of these other tools, were saying, Here's your list of qualities, this is who you are. And you need to step up to that, you need to embody that, you know, ideally, if you're going to be the best version of you, this is who you are. And I love that human design really goes in the complete opposite direction. And it says, When I'm not going to give you a list of things that you're meant to be, I'm going to give you this language that reflects largely who you are in a very unique personalized expression, because nobody is going to be exactly the same as you I can meet another manifester with an identical design to me, and they're not going to be the same as me, because we have too many life factors involved in that. But what are then all of the ways that I'm experiencing life that are sort of detracting from that, that are taking away from that? And then can I heal those? can I release myself into more freedom? So I think there's a lot of support of self in the Human Design System, very, very similar to Gene keys, very similar. So Richard Rudd trained with Raja Roo, who he created the gene keys system based off the human design system. So they're very complimentary. And if you've ever studied Jean keys, it's that same space, it's the same, you know, I'm going to contemplate these very intricate energies within myself, and try to get a scope of understanding of how am I showing up in that way? And maybe how am I not showing up in that way? And what space does that give me for expanse? So 

27:08 

with the complexity of human design, is it something is there like a book, like, you know, the jinkies has a book? Or is it too complex that yeah, that we should go someone should go to someone actually have a reading and figured out that way versus getting a book? 

27:24 

I think that there are so many access points to human design. Now. I mean, 20 years ago, you probably just had to get a reading that would that would have been the only way to get in. But no, now we have several books on human design. There's quantum human design, the definitive book of human design. There's several so many great juicy ones. There are readers, millions of readers all over the world, the readers that that I certify, and I teach, they're all manifestos, and they all specialize in manifestos, but they also teach the whole human design system. And there are just there are so many, you could go anywhere, and you can find a reader in human design, which is great. But really, we're also at the point in human design, where you can just, you can just Google it, and you're gonna find blog articles and podcasts and social media accounts. A lot of people teaching the fundamental basics of human design. A lot of people also teaching these kinds of niche curated, you know, very specific areas of human design. So wherever you want to enter in at, there's plenty available. And if you've never, ever heard of human design before this, the best thing you can do is just Google it and start start that rabbit hole. It will take you to exactly the place that you know. So
