xx Hannah
Okay, welcome back to the podcast Journey to Well. So today is going to be a really fun conversation. I actually have one of my previous clients, sandy, on and we're truly just going to talk about human design. I could nerd out about human design for hours and tell you everything that I know, but one of the most important things to me is to learn how, working with my clients, how it's changed, the way that they've approached their businesses, the way that they approach their life and relationships. So we're just going to have a casual conversation about human design and how it can be applied in the area of business or relationships or life. So this is Sandy. I'm going to let her introduce herself in a minute, but just so I get it out there on the recording, sandy is a 4-1 Sacral Authority Generator.
Speaker 1:So one of the things that we do in intro to human design calls is we just review those three pieces of human design. So there's so many aspects to human design that you and I have talked about, sandy, but it can get really overwhelming, especially when we're first learning it. So one of my gifts in human design literally it's in my chart, but one of the ways that I approach my business is taking this big topic and making it very easily digestible into little pieces that we can start incorporating right away into our life. So we're probably going to focus mostly on those. But you know me, I can squirrel a little bit because I get excited about talking about all aspects of your chart. So we'll see where it goes. Sandy, thank you so much for taking the time. Thanks for coming on the podcast and just give a little intro. There's no stress, there's nothing that you necessarily have to say about yourself, but whatever you would like to introduce yourself with, go right ahead.
Speaker 2:Okay, awesome. Thank you, hannah, so good to see you again. My name is Sandy Mitten and I am 55 years old We'll be 56 in January and I was able to be a part of a human design workshop, kind of a short one in a program that I am in and Hannah actually knows that person that did that and, moving forward, I was able to be in a class with Hannah as well and realized that, oh wow, she actually like does coaching or what do you call it Mentoring.
Speaker 1:I call it coaching, but it is way more like mentoring or guiding. It's not necessarily coaching.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, mentoring, guiding, that's what it was. And so I decided, hey, I'm going to do it, I want to hop on, I want I. I got so much juice out of it when I did it live with her friend. And then when I went to Hannah's class or was in Hannah's class, it was like amazing, all the things that um came out of it. So I said, all right, I want it. You're towards me, like what does this mean? There's so much information. How do I utilize it? And it was awesome. So, thank you. And I'm a hairstylist. I'm a hairstylist I forgot important parts. I'm a hairstylist behind the chair. And, yeah, I have my own studio and I'm working on creating some other things, some other businesses as well. So I'm always looking for help into kind of propel me forward in doing those things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's such a good point that you brought up of wanting it to be, really wanting your work or your investment in learning human design being specifically tailored to you, and that's something that I want to point out in this conversation. Keep in mind, even though you might also be a generator listening, you might not align with everything, because you might not be a 4-1 or you might not be a sacral authority, or you might not have the same open centers as Sandy has. So this is really just a fun way to learn. Honestly, this is my favorite way to soak in information, so that's probably why I'm doing a podcast like this.
Speaker 1:I like to listen to other manifesting generators in general, just have conversations, um, or other one threes to have conversations about their profile. So take that with a grain of salt, as you're listening, um, and there's definitely going to be little tidbits that you can walk away with, whether you are a generator or you know a generator, maybe your partner's a generator. So I want to open the conversation with what? What do you feel like the biggest pieces that you took out of, especially that intro to human design call? Or it could be the workshop that we went through together or that we were in together. Um, what are the biggest pieces of your specific human design that you feel like? You felt really seen or you felt really validated when you learned oh, that makes sense, Like that really sounds like me.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I think one of the biggest things that stuck out for me was that I am and you can correct me on the wording but I am like the researcher and the educator and I'm always seeking information. And I'll tell you, hannah, in the past I thought that was a detriment, because what was happening to me is I am that I love to learn. I love to learn about different subjects, whether it's in my field or out of my field. I love to learn about people like that. I'm so curious when it comes to people and I just love to learn everything, but I want it all, like give it to me all, and then so, so, and then one of my challenges is I get all these things right and I don't finish all of them or I don't focus or really take the time to go.
Speaker 2:Okay, how is this? How is this beneficial for me? How can I create it or how can I? You just, actually I, like Bob, went off when you said break it down into bite-sized pieces to be able to utilize it. So one of the things that you mentioned during our call was to check in with myself. Um, that you know, check in, and that. The other thing was I kind of jotted these down and the yes and no questions. So whether, whether, like, where is this beneficial for me? Is this beneficial? Yes, it's great to learn all that stuff, but I might not need all that stuff and honestly, I'm repeating it a lot.
Speaker 2:So I almost did it this morning. I almost did it. I was on my walk. I do a walk every morning outside in the dark and I love it. It's my, my Zen time.
Speaker 2:But I happened to get on something and it was somebody talking about how to create a coaching program and make all this money and and it was and I'm a part of a coaching program I mean I have all this stuff, but I was so close to like literally doing it, and one of the reasons was because I'm not available. The other thing was you don't need this, you have this, you have these pieces.
Speaker 1:Finish what you have now and then yeah, which could be so true for the one line. So that's what she's referring to. If you know a little bit about human design. Sandy's a four one and I like cracking up inside because you're like and I love learning about people, which is your four line. So literally both the four and the one are coming together. But the one line is the knowledge seeker and I also have a one line, I'm a one three.
Speaker 1:So we align there and just wanting to learn all of the information and just wanting to take the class, just to take the class because you want to learn more, but it can be right. We we all have like the, the light sides and then the shadow sides of each of the profile lines, and one of the shadow sides we can call it is like just wanting to soak up all the information and grab it and then being very overwhelmed because we have like so much on our plate that we can't hold it all and we can't digest it all, so making sure that we pause, which then you're talking about your sacral authority, which I'm also a sacral authority. We have so much in common with our charts, but checking in with that yes or that no, and that's that's probably one of the most important parts, in my opinion, of a human design chart is learning your authority and learning what I call the communication of your body. So how does your body communicate in and with the sacral authorities? It's really black and white. It's like yes or no. If it's like an, I don't know, it's a no for now I was just recording a video on this. Actually, like a no or like a hesitancy or a slight contraction still means no for now and it doesn't mean forever, but like this just isn't aligned in this moment for me. Yeah, super interesting, exactly.
Speaker 1:So, how, how do you feel? Well, okay, and then let's talk a little bit about the four lines, since you kind of brought up your profile and your and your authority. So the four line is the people, person. So this is the first part of your profile. Um, one of the things that I always say when I'm talking with four lines is probably your biggest business opportunities. Maybe occasionally like, maybe your, your wait, I don't want to word it like that Maybe some of your really instrumental relationships come from people that you know. So like meeting a friend through a friend, or getting a business opportunity because you know someone that introduced you to that business opportunity and really leaning into developing your relationships? Were you the one that took some classes in psychology or is that a different four line? Did you know?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it wasn't me. Yeah, I always thought I should, or sociology.
Speaker 1:I feel like when you were saying I love to learn about people, um, yeah, that made me think of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've often thought about like I really thought I should have maybe gone in that direction. But I've always said, even hairdressing, we should be a four-year college like any other person you know, because we need psychology is a huge part of it. It's more than even the skill of doing hair. You know when it really comes to being successful in this industry.
Speaker 1:Absolutely yeah. And again makes sense that you go into a field where you're really interested and you get to meet so many people and you get to hear so many people's stories and you get to kind of do your own, honestly your own, like research on people with all of your clients. I know I love it I do it all the time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so what? Maybe we should have started with this question. But I'm curious when because it was kind of cool how we met I did a workshop and presented just general intro to human design. What was intriguing? What is intriguing for you to continue and originally learn human design, like why learn it?
Speaker 2:Because I have always been someone again the learner, always been someone that just number one. I want to be the best version of myself and I have literally my whole life, you know, been wanting to work on that. I don't know. I I thrive in it.
Speaker 2:I thrive in understanding more about human design, about humans, about people, um, and, and myself too, Um. So when this came up, um, and then getting information about it, I was like, oh, because I'm always wondering, like, what makes me tick Right Like you, you, you do these personality tests and you do those things and they're they're always so super interesting to me. Like, oh, okay, Well, is that why? Is that why I do this? And, and my thing is, I want to change uh, lack of better words change, fix um, evolve, do things differently. Evolve, do things differently. But I want to understand why it is that I do those things, so that I don't just fall back into it, because that's usually what happens, kind of like relationships.
Speaker 2:I end up getting into the same patterns, right, even though they're not necessarily the right fit for me, right? And so human design to me was like okay, now I can really understand. Like, this is my birth chart, this is all about how I was brought into this world and what makes me tick and what makes me me. So that's why I'm like yeah, give it all to me, I want to understand it, I want to know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's such an important point that we don't we don't often want to do things or we don't find that continued motivation If we don't have the why behind whatever we're doing, like why are you a hairdresser, why do I wake up every morning and walk into my business and show up the way that I do? If we're not connected to the why, we're missing such an integral sometimes small it feels small but such an integral piece of why we're moving through the world, the way that we're moving. And that's one of the things that I love about you bringing up, like personality tests and they're all super interesting, for sure. One of the things that I love about human design is we're not.
Speaker 1:We do talk a lot about conditioning. We can talk a lot about conditioning because we're just conditioned and in the world, but with human design, versus like a personality test, I feel like personality tests are all of your conditioning, not all. We'll say 80%, 80% of your conditioning, whereas human design is saying like this is, this is just your, your blueprint. Then we can have a conversation about it. I'm not throwing you in a box. Human design doesn't throw you in a box, but it allows this conversation versus like, let's say, enneagram, for example, which I've dove into, and I love the Enneagram, but for me, every time I learn about it, I'm like this is literally just my conditioning, over and, over, and, over and over again coming up. Not telling me like who I am, it's telling me who I was conditioned to be ultimately.
Speaker 2:Does that make sense? Oh, it totally makes sense. And then you saying that was making me think about how, like yes, it's my conditioning, but getting into the birth chart, now I can know, say, okay, this is how I'm made up. So, even though I'm conditioned this way, I have this ability to be this way, right, to be able to kind of hone in on that, like, wow, I have that gift, I have that, even though I'm conditioned to possibly. You know, I'm conditioned to be a people pleaser.
Speaker 2:That's kind of who I am, right and um, and part of my birth chart is is a P, is a, I'm a people, person, right, and so how can I use that instead of making it be a detriment to me? I think a people pleaser is great in some ways, except when it hurts the things that you know don't serve me or don't serve people around me. Um, so the birth chart basically, I can go back to going, yeah, this is good. Um, so let's, how do I work on that? How do I work on those skills? How do I go back to who I am and what I'm made up of?
Speaker 2:and break that conditioning and I feel like, if you get back to your foundation or you cause, that's your foundation, right, it's like you can't have a house unless there's a foundation. You can't build anything without something for it to stand on. And so my birth chart is my foundation, it's who I am, and so now I can look at that and I go, okay, well, now I can build on that, I can add a jacuzzi to my house. Now, right, yeah, because now I understand how it would be beneficial, yeah.
Speaker 1:I love that wording, like human design is the foundation and then everything else we can build on top of it. Or learning your human design, like even just the fact one of the things that we talk a lot about with projectors because we live in a world where generators and manifesting generators make up roughly 70 to 75% of the population, so projectors being like 12%, they're like, um, I don't feel like I fit in or I don't feel like the way that my energy moves through the world is accepted, and so when they learn that they are projectors, this is huge relief and this huge permission slip to just be the way that they are. We can have the same conversation with generators and manifesting generators, actually, because we can look at our parents parents birth charts, or look at our husband or our wives or our partner's birth chart and see who the people that we spend the most time with, how they showed up. And that's where we kind of get into the conditioning conversation in human design, for example. I'll give my my example, because I don't know your family's charts, obviously. Um, I'll give my example because I don't know your family's charts, obviously. So I'm a manifesting generator, my sister is a reflector and both of my parents are projectors. So reflectors and projectors are called non-energy types, which take that. We'll have a conversation about that at another time.
Speaker 1:It doesn't mean that you don't have energy, but that's just what they're called, and they have very different energy than manifesting generators and generators. And then we can even look at, like, which defined centers you have in your chart. And when I learned that I was raised primarily by my mom and with my sister, which both of them have very open charts they don't have a lot of defined centers it made so much sense like why the way, why I am the way that I am, even though I'm a manifesting generator, like I still require, I still take a lot of breaks throughout my day and a lot of time to rest. And like when we learn many, many gens, they're like you have the most energy throughout the days. And same with generators. Like we have pretty consistent energy. Um, but we can talk about conditioning. And then we can talk about open centers too, and and just learning who you surround yourself with, too, makes a big difference in what aspects of your human design chart are illuminated. We'll say, yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's really interesting. Now it makes me want to. I want to do the charts for everybody around me.
Speaker 1:I do it all the time I do my family, I meet someone, do you like tell?
Speaker 2:them, or do you just?
Speaker 1:well, you have their information, so I guess I'd have my family just go and do it um, no, I well, I didn't have you because you have to have your birth time, so I didn't have my birth time or anything. You yeah, I mean you could run, like you could run their astrology and just know, like their top three sun, moon rising if you don't have the birth time. But with human design, you need their birth time.
Speaker 1:So I asked them and then I told them what their human design was but, I, do that for all my friends now too, especially if I meet someone new and I'm like we're gonna be friends. I'm like, hey, when's your birthday, I'm gonna run your human design chart.
Speaker 1:I just need to know who you are, not that we, not that it tells you who you are, but it's interesting. I just need to know who you are, not that we. It tells you who you are, but it's interesting. It's just interesting to see I was just having this conversation. It's interesting to see how what, like one of the things that I do is is take someone's human design chart, just look at it not judge them, not put them in boxes but then see how their human design chart shows up in their life, how they already uniquely show up, because that's the thing about human design.
Speaker 1:I'm not telling you anything that you don't know. I might just be telling you something that you feel like, kind of, when you were talking about your one line, right, you're like I thought that there was a detriment until I learned, oh no, that's one of my superpowers is that I'm able to take in a lot of information, and my gift is to take in all of this information process. It take in like maybe 200% information and then process it and put out that 100% of information to my community. And my community trusts me because they know that I have authority, that I have that authority of I'm not just pulling shit out of thin air and saying this is the way something is. It's like no, I took a course on this, or I read a book on it, or I've researched it to the point where now I feel confident in presenting it to my tribe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly. Yeah it's super interesting. It really is. I love this stuff.
Speaker 1:So what else do you feel like? Sorry about that, everyone didn didn't mute my phone. Okay, let me ask two questions. I'll ask one first Is there anything else that thinking about sharing and coming on this podcast and sharing? Is there anything else that you were considering? Oh, I really want to make sure that I share this.
Speaker 2:This really made a difference for me and I think I said in the beginning, but the top one would be checking in with myself, and so I shared with you when we first got on here that I was very excited that you reached back out to me, because when was our reading?
Speaker 1:A long time ago. It was a while ago. It was in the spring. It was definitely in the spring because then we like got lost in summer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly that's what it was. And so, and I I got so much out of it Like it was. It was huge for me and I was so grateful that you reached back out because, as I told you, I do, I actually want you to be my guide and my mentor and I want to join your um, your program, or however you call it, um, and. But you know, life gets in the way, right, and I was probably researching and doing other things and and I love that you reached out to me because I was like, oh, yes, I would love to do that, because what I did immediately was go back to the recording. You recorded our session, which was super helpful, and it made me realize, oh wow, sandy, there is so much, so many resources like so many tools in that hour long conversation that you and I had and there's definitely been still some of the same struggles that I've had, right, and realizing, oh wow, I just needed to go back into that. So it reopened it up for me and one of the biggest things was check in with yourself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, instead of just doing this and then going, okay, let's move on to the next new shiny object, yeah, how do I utilize it, and I know that this was something that was super beneficial. And the funny part is I joined a couple other things that I don't know. I was just watching and I'm like what am I doing? I haven't even looked at them and it was low thing, you know, not a huge investment. However, it was something like that's a waste. What are you doing? So I guess one of the biggest things is I I was excited that you reached out to me because it reopened it back up, and I guess one of the things is I have talked about our conversation with some of the people that I'm close to, especially my clients, my clients and I talk about stuff all the time because, again, I'm so curious, right.
Speaker 2:And they're always asking and they know, they always look at me as that person that's always, you know, working to be the best version of herself. And so I've talked about it and they're like what do you mean? What does that mean? And, um, so I? One of the reasons I wanted to come on here is that, yeah, I'd love to say hey, do it. You want to understand more about yourself and you want to kind of put those pieces together, because I think a lot of us, especially for women of my age, right, we're kind of in that where I look like, like, right now, I'm in the second part of my life. I'm in the second part of my life and because I've always said, since I was a little girl, I'm going to live to be past a hundred.
Speaker 2:So in order to do that, yep, I need to be healthy in all aspects of my life and mind is one of the biggest things, and so um I think I just kind of lost my train of thought where I was going with that.
Speaker 2:But I just really I kind of want to spread the word. I just want people to understand, like okay, so that's what I was saying. Let me get back to it. In being in the second part of my life, there's a lot of like you know, what are these unanswered questions? What is the direction to go to when you're younger?
Speaker 2:Not that you don't have those questions when you're younger, but when you're younger, you have a little more time, right, you have a little more you can, but you get to a point where you're like, come on, time is is less than it used to be, even though I still have another half to live. Um, I just want to do it in the best way.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And I want to do it with the gifts that I have, and I know that I have these gifts and, um, and I know there's people out there that feel the same way, because I encounter it often and they don't really know what to where to go with it Um, and this, what a great way or a great tool to utilize because, like you said, like it's who you are, you know. And then and it's not necessarily because a lot of times we're focusing on the conditioning, and the conditioning involves getting you know, sometimes going through some trauma or going through like where it happened, and dah, dah, dah, dah, which, yeah, that's good, but once you get that foundation and you go, okay, this is who I am. So now I can better understand. That was just conditioning.
Speaker 2:However, I have this power, and one of the biggest thing that stuck in with my second with me was Sandy, check in with yourself. Yes, you were doing all these things and, and you're great at it, it's awesome, and you're great at it, it's awesome. But stop and breathe, check in with yourself, ask where you're at right, is this serving me to where it needs to be? And right now, like I've always believed, everything is timing. And you came into my life at the time I needed it and you came back into my life at the time I needed it, so you know. So it's just, I have always believed in that and if I can give people hope to to put those pieces back together, then I'll do it all day long.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because we get so busy like we live in such a fast paced world and we get so busy. And then you get on those marketing trains where you buy the program because they have great marketing and they're they're here to convince you this is the way that you're going to find success in this area, or this is the answer. And one of the things that I always say is it is the answer to them. That's perfect, like to let's just talk diets, right, if you're, if you're saying like you have to do keto, that is the way that you are going to find, like, your ideal body and you're never going to look back and keto is the way to go and look at all of the weight that I lost doing keto. And we get sucked in. Of course we do, because we're like I want to fucking look like that, like if it worked for her and she has all of this energy, it must work for me, because she's convinced me this, this and this that it'll work for me.
Speaker 1:And we don't. We don't take time to check in with ourselves. We don't take time to say, oh, this actually isn't aligned with me, or maybe this isn't, or I mean, if we're talking about diets. There's literally a whole section in human design that's called your digestion type, and you can learn things about your digestion type that will suggest like, oh, fasting could work well for you, or fasting really wouldn't work well for you, or having a lot of meats and heavy foods probably doesn't work for you, or eating on the go would not work, like. There's so many things about the digestion type I love. I love talking about digestion types which we didn't.
Speaker 1:I don't even think we talked about yeah.
Speaker 2:That's a new one, one of our calls.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, it will be. That's a nuance, but but what I? But what I was kind of getting at was we do, we get hooked in and it's nothing against that person. First of all, kudos to you for having expert marketing like proud of you for nailing that, and also many people to fall into that trap and then not and not taking time to check in with themselves. So that's that's one of the things that I've learned in my life that I find I mean just incredibly valuable.
Speaker 1:Valuable is that you have you have the answers and you have everything that you need to be successful and to thrive and to live, to be a hundred. It's uncovering that. It's uncovering, like, your unique blueprint, your unique design and learning how you can fit that into your life right now, in in spite, in regard to your conditioning and in spite of what you're doing and how you're doing it. It's a lot of times it's just making these tiny tweaks and what we find when we're doing things that align with us, that align with our unique selves. It's going to be so much easier. It's not like we're like forcing and there's all of that friction, Like it's again going back to diets, I don't know why I'm talking about a diet, but like when, when I did, I went vegan for a while because we watched whatever movie that's like all of the cows are going to kill planet, whatever it is Documentary, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever it was.
Speaker 1:I'm like'm like, oh, let's eat vegan. And I like blew up, I gained so much weight because I can't do soy and like everything that's vegan is soy and it just didn't work for me. And, um, sometimes people are like go vegan and you're gonna lose so much weight. So it's just finding. It's finding what works for you and having that, we, we lose that grappling and we lose that, like with my three line. We lose that like trial and error. We don't lose it, but we shorten the trial and error phases when we're working with someone, like when we're working with our human design, with our blueprint, anyway, yeah.
Speaker 2:So if it doesn't light you up, like you said that earlier, like if it doesn't light you up, then you know, like I think of a vegan thing, like, do you like the soy food? You know it's like, okay, I'm going to do it because I'm going to lose weight. But you can lose weight on all kinds of food, right, but you should do it on food that you're going to actually like right.
Speaker 2:Because if it doesn't light you up then you're not going to do it. And that's why the word diet is so crappy, because diet is a temporary fix right and a lifestyle is what you're going for. So it just kind of made me think. The other thing that pops up for me is does it make me light up, like, does it make me want to get out of the me? Think? The other thing that pops up for me is does it make me light up, like does it make me want to get out of the bed in the morning? You know, I mean because if you don't have a purpose or a purpose or a goal or a drive or whatever, then you're not going to want to do any of this stuff. It just becomes a job or a chore or whatever. Then you're not going to want to do any of this stuff. It just becomes a job or a chore.
Speaker 1:And that's where we end up in those conditioning issues or problems. That's what leads to burnout, that's what leads to overwhelm. I mean literally you as a generator is your invitation is to find what lights you up and to do that. And when you do what lights you up, that's when you magnetize or when you do the lifestyle eating lifestyle of what lights you up. That's when you magnetize, or when you do the lifestyle eating lifestyle of what lights you up. That's when you find your power, that's when you're going to shed all of the weight and it's going to be so much more easeful and in so much more flow.
Speaker 1:And we're not taught that either. We're not taught that it's supposed to be easy. We're taught that it's supposed to be really hard and that you have to hustle and that you have to work really hard for a long period of time and you still might not even make it. But that's the biggest secret is it can be easy and it's meant to be easy and it can feel, it can feel aligned. Whatever you're doing, like your, your life, your relationship, your business can feel aligned. It really can. It's not meant to be hard.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, exactly. And even like not doing what it is that you're aligned with or what lights you up is actually the hard part, right, like I love the whole. It's all hard, just choose your heart, yep. So it's hard to, you know, eat restricted foods or lose weight, but it's also hard to feel out of breath and not fit into your clothes.
Speaker 2:You know it's hard to create or to follow a program or do inventory in my studio, but then it's also hard to be broke. I mean so, like, choose one of them. All of it takes work, Right. But if you look at it like, oh, this is so much work and so hard, then you're it's not going to let you up, Right. But look at it and look at what you're going to get from it, why you're doing so, and then use your foundation and your gifts and your, your uh resources to create that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and we literally have. I love that. That you keep saying the word gifts, because we literally have gifts, um, or gates, in human design, and of course you and I didn't go into that. That's again like 1% of your human design chart, um, but you do have gifts. So, like we're all innately, we all innately possess these certain gifts in our personality and our in.
Speaker 1:I mean it ends up being in your human design chart, but we all possess these different gifts and using that and coming from a place of your gifts and what you already possess, then we're not trying to be someone else, then we're not trying to fit into someone else's human design chart, someone else's life, and we're not trying to emulate someone else. We're able to just be ourselves and you are your superpower. You literally like who you are. You are your superpower. You don't need to be anyone else and of course, we live in a world where everyone tries to you don't need to be anyone else and of course, we live in a world where everyone tries to convince us we need to be someone else to be successful or happy or joyful or peaceful or rich.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then we all suffer from imposter syndrome, right, because?
Speaker 1:we're trying to be somebody else and we're like oh yeah, yeah, that's what I my. Um. One of my like words for my business is if you're struggling with imposter syndrome or the inner critic, because that inner critic comes up a lot. Um, but oftentimes it does come up because we feel unconfident in the gifts that we have and somebody along the way has probably told us, like Sandy, you research way too much and you're like.
Speaker 1:Oh fuck, do I? Is that that's a bad thing? I didn't know that it was a bad thing until you told me it was a bad thing, and it's not a bad thing. It's just they probably did not have a one in their profile.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, they don't understand them to think that I spend all this time.
Speaker 1:I love this conversation. Thank you for sharing. You did hit on, hit on it, you kind of read my mind, but I'm just going to close with the question of if somebody is on the fence of learning about human design or booking an intro to human design, call with me or anyone else, it doesn't have to be me. What would you say to that person?
Speaker 2:I would say say yes to yourself. I would just say you know what? Are you ready? Do you want you know? Are you looking to understand more about yourself? You know, do you have that one thing or do you feel stuck? This could be your answer. So I would say just trust yourself, believe in the gifts that you know you have, because we all know we have another word. I think we often use the strengths right. We also, we all know our strength, which is ultimately a gift. But trust that, trust in the gifts that you have, believe that there is more for you, because there's always more. So. And if you want that, talk to Hannah. She brought a lot out of me.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 1:Thank you. Thank you for this conversation. This was so fun.
Speaker 2:Thank you.
Speaker 1:Talk soon.
