I LOVE hearing from you! Drop me a text! 💬
There’s a difference between knowing what to do… and actually trusting yourself enough to do it.
In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation that originally aired on The Human Design Podcast, where Emma Dunwoody takes me through a live Human Design session.
And let’s just say… it got real.
We talk a lot about self-trust, listening to your body, and finding your own answers. But in this conversation, I had to face where I was still getting in my own way—overthinking, second-guessing, and looking outside myself for validation.
Together, we unpack what was actually keeping me stuck… and chances are, you’ll recognize yourself in it too.
In this episode, we explore:
- Human Design and how it reveals your unique decision-making style
- Emotional authority and why timing matters more than you think
- The real reason you keep second-guessing yourself
- Overthinking, self-doubt, and the “stories” that keep you stuck
- Why we teach what we need to learn—and how to start living it
If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, unsure of your next move, or disconnected from your own inner guidance, this conversation will hit in all the right ways.

Human Design Session with Emma Dunwoody: How We Get in Our Own Way | A Beautiful Fix
So we teach what we need to learn. Okay, so sometimes our hardest lessons are the ones that we teach others, because they're the ones we have learned over and over and over.
Welcome to a Beautiful Fix. I'm Tracy Hill. Each week we'll dive into the latest Thought Gem recharging and reconnecting with what lights you up and makes you feel alive. Let's discover your next beautiful fix together.
Hey, real quick before we dive in, you're powerful and sometimes you just need someone to remind you what's already in you. That's what human design does. It's the difference between guessing and knowing so you can stop searching outside yourself and start trusting the answers within. I promise you, they're there.
Grab your free chart@abeautifulfix.com and when you're ready to go deeper, book a one-to-one session with me. Alright, let's get into the episode.
Today's episode is a little different. I was recently a guest on Emma Dunwoody's podcast, the Human Design Podcast, and she took me through a live human design session.
And I'll just say it's. One thing to guide other people through this work, and it's another thing to be on the receiving end of it. There were a few moments where I had to just sit there and take it in. I talk a lot about trusting yourself, listening to your body, choosing what's right for you. And this conversation was a really honest look at where I wasn't fully doing that myself, and as she reminded me.
We teach what we need to learn. Yeah. It was what I call my grasshopper moment. You know, the whole thing of when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Yeah. So with her permission, I'm sharing that conversation here with you. I absolutely love her and I think you'll understand, after you've had a chance to listen to the episode, and I'll link the original episode in the show notes so you can check out more of her work.
Alright, let's get into it.
Hey, hey, and welcome to today's episode. Well, on today's episode, we have another visionary breakthrough session. And this time, well, it's gonna, it's actually with one of my favorites, one of the amazing humans that came to our US business retreat. Um, just like, God, how long ago was that? Like a month ago. I know it was not that long ago.
Um, but anyway. Tracy Hill, welcome to the podcast. Thank you, Emma. I'm so excited to be here. It's so good to see you again. Mm. Still so good to see you too. I'm still, I'm still in retreat withdrawal. Like it's real, like it's, I miss it. I miss it. It was, yeah. It real, you know, it's a thing and one of the, one of the things that we've noticed over the years is it's surprising how many people come back.
They come and do it again. And we're like, that is the same. It's gonna be the same as last time. And they're like, that's fine. I'll just go deeper. So yeah, it's a thing. It's never the same though. 'cause it's new people, you're different. It's like what you told me about going to the the com, walking the Camino.
It's never the same thing twice. Exactly, exactly. And it's, you know, you always get those breakthrough sessions and you always meet someone else. That's amazing. And, and yeah. All the things. All the things. Yeah. So. Today we are here to talk all about you and um, do an unpack session. And obviously this is gonna be more than an unpack session because we've talked a lot about your design.
I'm so curious. You were one of the people on retreat that kind of. Literally grabbed to the bull by the horns and ran with it and you created some amazing, um, content copy. You got really clear on your dream client and you know how to speak to them and talk to them and attract them. And it was really cool to watch.
And I know, and we've talked about this that often when we are in those spaces. Intrinsic motivation is happening, the inspiration is happening, and then as we get out of that state, which is why we wanted to create something that people could literally leave and then press play. Um, then things get harder because we fall into those old patterns.
We fall into the old identity, and it's really about, you know, just slowly, day by day, step by step, changing that identity and stepping into this new version of you that you've created. So I'm really curious to hear how everything's been going and to hear what specifically you'd like me to focus on.
Absolutely. So, yeah, so Emma, don't be disappointed in me, but I was on fire while I was at the retreat. That was amazing. Like I felt the energy, I could see it, I could see the vision. It was just, it all came together in that moment. And I don't know if it has something to do with my triple split definition, but you know, connection with people is real for me.
And I think being in that room with the different energy types, it really made it come together. But when I left. I call the voice in my head, Mr. No, the negative voice that just tries to keep me safe. He started talking to me like, yeah, that was great there, but you know, really, and the more that I worked on it, the more that I tried to refine it and get to the meat of the deliverables, the more I got in my head and got stuck.
Yeah. And so. That was one of the things I wanted to, couple of things from today's session is I would love, I've looked at my chart so much, but being a human design, um, I read human design as well for people. I'm starting to focus more on other people, but I'd love to hear from you what you see. If you feel like, um, kind of what I'm doing if I'm on track, and then maybe look at some of these blocks that I have, this, this self-sabotage that comes up.
Yeah, so I suppose the first thing to say it's really interesting is a a four six emotional generator that you say, well, you know, once I wasn't in the room anymore, I kind of felt like I didn't have the same energy. So yes, it's gonna be a large part of your design. We can come back around to that. But I honestly think that so much of this is human behavior.
So one of the most important ways that we change is through environment. If we change our environment and within that environment we change our identity, then we change our behavior relatively easily. So what was happening in that room and in that space was the environment was different. So you were someone different and your identity was changed because you were, you know, the, you were the one that people were looking to.
So. Really what's happened is, is very normal. It's why things like. Um, you know, like if anyone's ever been to Tony Robbins, unleash the power within. You go, you're motivated to do the things. You walk on the coals, you're like, oh my God, it's amazing. And then you get home and, you know, often you, you slow down at, at the very least, but often you'll just fall flat on your, your face and, and you start all over again.
So this is why. One of the things, and it's interesting, even the language that you used gave me a really good clue. You said. As I tried to refine it further, I just started judging and criticizing myself. So one of the things, and, and I'm aligned free, so I'm here to teach the world how to do this is one of the things that I'd highly recommend, highly is that you created something that was, let's say 80% there.
Okay. Um, in my world it's a hundred percent there. You could have just jumped on it, put something out, um, really just backed up and continued to be that identity of the person in that room. Um. Because what was reflected back to you in that room was really the truth of who you are. You're a natural born leader.
Um, you take everything that you do, especially in your business. 'cause we spoke specifically about business, but I'm guessing the rest of your life, you know, seriously, in a good way. You commit yourself to it. You do the work, you show up for yourself, you show up for others. So I think the, you know, one of the challenges for you is that.
Potentially, maybe it's the line four, um, that it's like this, this external validation. You know, like when other people see me, then I believe in me. But when I have to be my own champion, perhaps I don't believe, you know, that's when I'll believe the bullshit stories of Mr. No. Does that feel like it resonates?
Abs. Absolutely. And it's so frustrating because with my business, my mission is to help women understand that the answers are within that they need to stop seeking external validation. And then I turn around and if I'm being honest, I'm still doing that. Well, we teach still. We extra. Yes. We teach what we have to learn.
Like at the end of the day, we teach what we have to learn. It's like me always saying, um, oh, I wish I just had a mentor, or I wish I just had someone like this year I had this whole story about how I'm the top of my tree, like. If there's one less lesson I've had to learn is that I am the love of my life.
I am my provider protector. I am my leader, my mentor, my coach. And it's not in an unresourceful way 'cause I've done that, but it's in a full heart, full soul. I don't know the answers, but I know I can rely on me. So we teach what we need to learn. Okay, so sometimes our hardest lessons are the ones that we teach others, because they're the ones we have learned over and over and over.
We've done the hard yards, like we really understand this. And I think what's really interesting about your design is that you do have a defined will center, right? Yes. So when we talk about. You know, in the healing space, the, the personal development, spiritual development space, we talk a lot about self-worth and low self-worth.
The truth is you have consistent and reliable self-worth and it sits just below the surface. And this is a feeling that you feel in your body. And as someone else who has a defined will center. When I really started to understand my will center, I was like, I do, like, I, I actually do. Um. Because when I'm on my own, when I'm put in a challenging situation, when I feel like I'm outta my comfort zone, I do back me.
You know? Yes. And and it became an unresourceful strategy as much as a resourceful strategy. So for you, it's not about like. I don't believe in myself. I'm not worthy. It's this line for looking for one of these relationships to validate what you feel and believe about yourself. Does that feel like it resonates?
It does, it does. And Emma, correct me if I'm wrong, but with the line four, isn't there also this underlying fear of rejection that I, I think that's a big part of it because when I think about that self-worth piece, I definitely have always known who I am. I also have a defined G Center. I'm tracing no matter who I'm around.
I never really caved to peer pressure. I definitely knew who I am. I feel that self-worth. But I've always had a fear of rejection. Yes, always. So that is 100% The line for the line for fear is rejection. And they will, you know, look for others, look to others for validation all the time. They will also put up with a relationship that isn't correct for them.
Because they fear that there's no other relationship, and replace isn't the best word, but to replace that. So they often won't jump out of one relationship until there's another relationship to move towards, which again, isn't ideal because we have to end something to make space for something new. So fundamentally.
Really that line four is, is the thing that's driving Mr No, it, it's not your split definition. Um, although, you know, there's, there's that part of you because you have such strong mental energy, because you've got the 64, 47, the 61, 24, you've got the, the 63 activated, the 11 activated. Like there is a lot of mental energy and I just feel like there's that potential that Mr No is like, well, yes, I'm your ego, but.
Do you know how smart I am? Like I can whip things out in all sorts from everywhere. Like I've got, I've got research of results for you, for everything. So it's also becoming really aware that when you feel yourself in an emotional low, for example, or when you feel which, which will happen post retreat, right?
Because on a retreat you're riding in that sacred energy, you're riding high, you're doing great, you're um, in your favorite. Place networking with other people. So when you leave that you hit the emotional low. Now, when we hit an emotional low, it's like, in fact, when we're a low or a high, it's like we have a veil over everything.
So that veil is the thing that influences the actions we take, the decisions we make, um, the, the thoughts we think, the actions, the, the feelings, everything. So, you know. If you just think of like a bunch of flowers, if someone hands you a bunch of flowers, at the end of the day on retreat, you're gonna probably have a lot of emotional neutrality, okay?
Because you've burnt all that high all day, you're full. You're satisfied. Someone gives you a bunch of flowers and you're like, oh, they're beautiful. Thank you so much. But if they give that bunch of flowers to you at the beginning of the day when you're all excited, you're in an emotional laha. You're like, oh my God, they're the best flowers ever.
Thank you so much. And then someone gives you though, that same bunch of flowers the day you finish retreat, or let's say three days after retreat. Mm-hmm. You see the flowers and go, oh, they don't really help. And it's, it's the same thing, the same thing's happening. It's just that there's a veil of over the emotional being, especially in the high and the low.
So that's the other thing. When you hear Mr. No speaking and, and this for me. It's been really important being an emotional person too, that you really actually just have to get to know your stories so that when you run the story, so when I get in my emotional low, I will worry about things like, um. Weird little health things or I will worry about, you know, I might go and run an old pattern about my ex-husband or about my kids, like parenting my kids.
And I've now got to the point where I've kind of, almost like I've written those stories down and it's like they've got little. Tags on them. Like, oh, there's that story. I'm just in an emotional low. So I see it for what it is instead of listening to it. And I really feel it's that simple for you because I think there's so much work you've done on all the layers and so much of your chart, and I think ultimately.
And then I'll give you some space to respond. I've just looked across to your chart, and of course, in the, in your core wounds, core talent, you have the 10, right? Yes. And what is the Gate 10 all about? It's about, um, you know, the love of the self. It's about trusting your own journey, your own behavior. Um.
Again, that almost ties in with the, with the line six. It's kind of a, a role model energy. Um, so the, the core wound of self obsession, you know, like, again, we've got the repressive nature denying the reactive nature narcissistic. So really what, what it's telling you is when you get into your emotional low.
There's a really good chance that you are gonna fall into a story of self-denial. Okay. Because that's the repressive nature of the shadow of the 10. 'cause that's your core wound. Does that, how does that all feel? What do you wanna respond to? Yes. Um, it, that feels absolutely correct. And the gait 10 is so prominent in my chart.
It is in my core wound. It's also though my, my conscious. Um, sun. So, um, when I first learned about my human design, it didn't resonate with me. I just, I didn't really get it. But now I certainly do because these are things that I've struggled with. Um, so I can definitely, I can definitely see that. And, you know, it's just being aware that this is the, the costume that your ego's gonna dress up in.
Do you know what I mean? Like it's, mm-hmm. It's gonna dress up in this costume of self-denial or self obsession. Um, and again, just paying attention to, wow, what do I tell myself when this is showing up? So that you can consciously choose something different and, you know, the gift of naturalness. And again, I feel like the retreat's such a great example because.
You did fall into this very line four kind of leadership role, as in you didn't necessarily stand out the front and say, follow me. But from the moment that you arrived, you were the standard. Like there was a standard and people kind of like, wow, I'm gonna reach to that. I'm gonna reach to that, I'm gonna reach to that.
And I saw that in the room the whole time. And that's the 10. That's the 10. And, and to you, you just showed up as you. And you were just being you, but you bought really high standards. Uh, you bought, you know, genuine compassion concern, you know, really powerful listening skills. And then whenever we did the exercises, you threw not only yourself 100% into it, but you also take feedback really, really well.
So that's the 10, the 10 really shone in the room. So when we look at it this way, it's just that journey of you being in. That the gift, the high expression, and then with your emotional wave. Then just dipping down, just showing up with shadow stories. But this isn't something that's ever gonna go away completely because you're an emotional being.
This is part of the journey, except now it's time to learn that you just don't listen to those stories that either you just press pause for two days to get a rest. To focus on something else, or you just remain gentle with yourself and take smaller, slower steps knowing that this is the right thing. Um, and just allowing yourself to pause when you need to wait for some emotional neutrality.
How does that sound? Yes. Yes, absolutely. Um, I need to, to ride that emotional wave and apply it when I'm feeling this way. Um, what. I know it's rare to have a defined head center, so I've got the, both the head and, and my AJ defined. So I feel like I'm in this, this loop, this thinking loop. I'm always thinking, always.
Um, any thoughts on, on the way, the best way to deal with? Well, I think the, the thing about. Having mental definition, and this is what I or like often say to people is that you are not going to be a person that sits there with a, a silent, quiet mind. No. So the first thing to do is just let yourself off the hook, you know, to know that you are thinking itself.
It's a process, it's a structured process. You know one, then two, then three, then four. And this process is always happening now, whenever we have mental definition, we actually have to learn as much as possible to step out of the way of the process. So we allow the thinking to unfold. We allow this strategy that is, is your consistent, reliable way of thinking.
That is the thing that you give to the world. It's your superpower, it's your gift. You have to learn to effectively take your hands off the wheel and allow it to unfold. So one of the best strategies I like, and you know, I give to people all the time, is it's, it's, you are the person that probably wants to do transcendental meditation or a Vedic meditation, or you have a mantra.
I always say, you wanna give the puppy a bone? Give the puppy a bone. Give it because. You know, often I hear from people with mental definition that they can't listen to guided meditation. 'cause they're like, well shut up. It goes like this. You know, like it's, it's a very different experience. Something like Vedic or TM will really help.
Okay? Mm. Um, I know for me, without mental definition, like I had an amazing tea ceremony this morning and it was just pretty still. There was maybe a silent whisper from the mind in the background, but I was completely, and I've done Vedic meditation and I don't love it. 'cause I don't love the constant repetition of words.
Like, I wanna get rid of the words. But for you. It's also like, well, where else do you experience peace and presence? Does that mean, you know, as a generator, walking, physically moving the body? Yeah. Is there's, you know, sports that you love to do? And when you are doing that, is there music you can listen to?
Do you have energy to listen to a podcast or, um, you know, like your mind. Will, like what is the bone you can give the puppy and you only give it the bone that you have energy for, not the thing you think you should listen to. Not the, well, I wanna, I wanna read this book and listen to this podcast. No, it's like, what feels nourishing to me right now.
Because the journey is to bring you into the present moment. That's, that's the job, not to quiet the mind because the system. Shuts down, like it can get slower and more quiet, but really it's more about presence than stilling the mind. Is that helpful? It's so helpful. And you know, the best thing for my mind is yoga.
When I'm doing yin yoga and we are holding a pose for like three minutes and sometimes it's uncomfortable. I have to really breathe into it. But I've realized that I'm not thinking, or my thoughts are very focused on just my breath and getting, you know, so that has been one of the most helpful things I've always wanted to do.
Transcendental meditation. But I talked myself out of it, ironically enough, because I was like, Tracy, no, that's just another thing. So I'm gonna look, I'm gonna look into that. Yeah. It sounds like something, if my mind can, I like guided meditation. 'cause I can focus on that. It stops my mind from just going all over.
Yeah, and that's the thing, it's it, you know, like different courses for different horses or different horses for different courses, you know, like you've gotta find what works for you. Um, and with, you know, TM or Vedic. As much as this is so sacrilegious to say they're basically the same thing. Um, it's just about a mantra.
So before you go and study in either of them, just say the word love over and over and over again, you know, or say the word peace over and over and over again. Now, both of those traditions to YE and Vedic, they're very big on giving you a mantra. So I have a mantra, but you don't tell it to anyone.
Everyone has their own mantra. And I, they won't even tell you how many different mantras there are. Um, and they don't mean anything. So part of those traditions is it's very like you've gotta give the mind something that doesn't mean anything. So maybe that works for you. Maybe that doesn't. I know for me, I get so much more out of something that means something, you know?
So I will either say love over and over if I need to try and get my mind focused on something. 'cause it's. Everywhere. Or for me, the mantra I'm loving at the moment is just relax. And you heard me say this on retreat, relax, surrender, receive. So again, it's everything that I say all the time. Experiment, you know, run the experiment.
Um, get your results and then what works for you. Do more of that and let go of what doesn't, but your mind is, is a very, very incredible gift and tool for the planet. It's just. It's not for you to make decisions, it's not to be running your life. Uh, it's something that you wanna learn to sit back because you have two channels as well, like even though it's not connected to the throat, so it's harder to, um, language it, you actually have the full loop.
So you have the inspiration question, formulate, formulate, and answer. So you have this whole loop in the way that you think. So. That's beauty in itself. The more you can step back and not get involved, the more you can allow it to run its whole program, um, the more you'll be like, wow, that's, wow, that's fascinating.
Oh, that's fascinating. And the, the, the way, the more you'll be able to sort of detach from this incredible talent that you have, um. And realize that, wow, this is just something real that I'm really good at. This is a superpower, but it's not who I'm, so that, that detachment from it. You know what I mean?
Yes, yes. Um, and I mean, you are an emotional authority, correct. So how do you, you run your own business an in incre amazing business. How do you make decisions with emotional authority? We're supposed to make it over time, ride the wave. But do you ever find yourself, I mean, I just, how do you handle it? Do you give yourself the time or do you feel the pressure to make it in the decision in the moment?
So the old me, like in the early days, um. I, and I was trained by so many different teachers, coaches, mentors, to make as many decisions a day as possible. Um. And it just never felt right for me. And it has also been a real challenge for me because I, you know, in the beginning I felt like I was letting people down or I felt like I seemed like I, um, was uncertain or that I flip flop in my decisions or, um, you know, I'm unreliable.
So there was all of these stories and I think a lot of emotional beings feel the same thing. But honestly, the thing that set me free was. Just running the experiment and the experiment is, okay, well I'm gonna wait. I'm gonna give myself time priority, prioritizing the big decisions. So obviously the smaller decisions, I just didn't get on my own case about either I, I had a decision or I didn't, you know, I didn't worry.
And even to the point where. Little things, like if I have no clarity on what I want for dinner, I'm like, well, someone else needs to make that decision. You know, I've just learned to say, well, someone else needs to make the decision. Um, because it's one of the fundamental things that's grown my business, the way it's grown, is that I have taught people that I don't respond immediately.
I've taught people that, you know. Uh, uh, if you want a good, like the correct answer from me, you need to wait and I will preface it with people and say, look, um, I, I, I need to wait. I'm gonna sleep on it. I might give it a few days. I'll get back to you. I got really good at informing, you know, I'm an MG as well, but just got really good at informing because the truth is that every major decision that I've rushed.
Whether it was the correct decision or not long term, it was either a much harder path or it just was the wrong decision anyway. So ultimately through my experiment, I learnt really quickly that if I rush my decisions, I end up like holding the baby, if you like. I'm like, well, shit, I really didn't wanna do this, or I didn't wanna go there, and I still have some of my closest friends that.
I'll say, Hey, I know we're meant to be going for dinner tonight, but I just, I just don't have energy for it. Um, and they're okay with it. And I think sometimes it might irritate them, but at the same time, I am who I am, you know? Yes. Um, I wish I had the clarity that. Sacrals had, or yes, splenic had, you know, or I wish I could just talk it through until, um, you know, until it clicked.
But I don't, yes. That's just not who I'm, so yes, it's just been that really, you've gotta trust it and it, I think the, one of the big lessons with being emotional is divine timing. I can look back at my marriage, right? I found myself in the same situation three times over, um, 23 years of marriage being together nearly 25 years.
And I can remember the second time I was in this situation, we were going through it all. We were talking about separating, and it was really, really early on in my human design journey. My emotional authority just gave me no stay, no stay. And I'm like, fuck. Like seriously, is this my ego? Is this my, my conditioning is this fear?
But I trusted it and I just went with it. And then the third time this thing happened, I just remember thinking straight off the bat where. That the definition and, and the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result. And then my ex said something to me, and as he said this thing to me, with no emotional, high or low, I remember just saying, no.
I'm done. So my emotional authority had guided me. Even though back then I was pretty certain that it was inevitable. There was a part of me that always wanted to fix it and you know, really believed in the longevity of a relationship and like I couldn't see what I couldn't see until I was on the other side of it.
So I now look back and go, whoa, like my emotional authority had me the whole time. Because when it was time to be done, it told me clear as day. So it's a muscle that we have to build and it's gonna be the thing that really delivers us divine timing. And so many of us are in such a rush, and we don't need to be in a rush because at the end of the day, the whole world is moving fast.
So what got you to this point? Is something is, it's definitely not gonna get you to the next, you know, things are gonna be so much, the jumps, the leaps, whatever. They're gonna be so much quicker. We don't know what's just around the corner. So again, this is why you always wanna come back to our strategy and authority because it knows, 'cause it's bigger than.
The, the, the brain, it's bigger than, um, our conscious awareness. You know, it, it's connected to everything. So it's really about trusting that and knowing that, okay, I'm designed this way, therefore my business is emotional. Like it, it's okay with me being emotional. Um, it, it can handle it. My audience can handle it.
Um, even in HDX, for me, one of the big things that I will often do, and funnily enough it's gonna happen, I'm just about to teach a class in HDX after this or later today, and we had a specific topic booked for another class we've got, uh, this week. And I'm like, mm-hmm. We're not ready for that. We, we gonna, I'm gonna do something different.
So everyone who works with me, they also understand like the goalposts can move because if the energy's not there, if it's not correct, then I'm not gonna be the best version of me and you are not gonna get the best from me or from you. So it's this big trust piece of really learning to trust what we do know, strategy, authority, and what we don't know.
Everything else. Right. I love that. Is that helpful? It's so helpful. It's good. Just good reassurance. Um, it, is there anything else about my chart that you, that I should know that stands out that, um, when I think about my business, um. It's all about, like I mentioned, helping women trust the answers within.
It's, um, working with them through human design, uh, podcasting and retreats and just also reminding them how beautiful this, this life is. It's called a Beautiful Fix. Do you, is there, it's something my chart that, that you see that maybe shows that I'm on the right path. Is there something else that you, that jumps.
Um, I love this because the thing I say all the time, like we speak our design and the idea that, or the fact that you even have this beautiful fix. Of course you'd say that because you're a vessel of love and the vessel of love has four gates in the G center. What's the G center all about? It's higher consciousness.
Self, um, love, unconditional love, beauty. So there's, there's this whole key that you are already doing it, you know, and it's something we saw on retreat, like everything you put together, it was like you were speaking your design. Um, you know, the other thing that I think that just jumped out to me was just being aware, like in your design moon.
So in the gene keys, this is our attraction sphere, you have the 51 and the 51. I think sometimes I feel it gets a bit of a hard. A wrap in humor design. 'cause it's the gate of shock and everyone's like, oh, I don't wanna do that. Oh God, that feels uncomfortable. And oh yeah, shit, I get shocks all the time.
But one of the things to understand is that this means that people are. Drawn to you. They're attracted to you because they see awakening in you. They, they want that. They're attracted to this ability. You have to wake up others to, you know. To be awake yourself because this whole channel, which you have, the 51 25, is the journey from the ego to the higher self.
You know, it's that we can choose to see this shock is, oh my God, this is the worst thing that's ever happened. Or we can choose to see this as an opportunity to move from fear to love. So, so much of what you've already created is there. Again, the question itself demonstrates the lines, the line force need for validation.
You know, like you've got this, you can back yourself. You don't have to like just stop believing everything you think. Start believing the things you feel. Start believing the subtle energy. Start really understanding, wow, I'm in an emotional low, so there's no point in me making any decisions right now.
Uh, maybe I could go and write, write poetry or something. You know, like, just allow yourself to be there without feeling the pressure to, to, you know, do anything about it. Um, and ultimately, I, I feel like there is. This. You know, if you think about the business in your design, Jupiter, which is our culture in our gene keys, you've got that line five.
So I think one of the things that I would. Be conscious of is where can you put yourself in the culture that looks like corporate senior leadership. Okay. Because that's what the line five will kind of indicate. Now, you don't wanna go back into that sort of environment, but this is where you're gonna thrive.
So. Whenever you're doing the work that you're doing, it might indicate that the culture or kind of Yeah. I'm gonna stick with the word culture that you'll thrive in is being, um, exposed to people in a corporate place. And, you know, I often think of this because there's so many people in our community with similar businesses like you or like me.
This is potentially a consultant. So I think that. I would, I know you work on a consumer kind of level, like a one-to-one, helping people Yes. With their business, but personally I would think about. All right, well, how can I do this in a bigger way? How can I do it where I have access to greater impact corporate environments, senior leadership teams, like all of this sort of stuff that probably feels super uncomfortable and equally at the same time, like, yeah, actually I really would feel great in that space.
So how does that feel? Oh, God. It feels, I have thought about, I have thought about that, but I. I'm just, it's ironic because I left my corporate career. I had a senior role, um, and I just jumped, I just leapt into the big unknown. It was a huge thing. And so the idea that that's in my chart, it just, it's, it brings a smile to my face.
But I have thought about talking to, you know, senior leadership about human design. I just dunno if they're ready for it, you know? Yeah. See, I hear this all the time, and. I've gotta, I think what I have learned is every single time we say, I just don't think they're ready for it. That's just a projection of our fear.
Yes, you are just not ready to be uncomfortable, you know? Um, because I know that that's definitely been one of my fears and one of my great talents is presenting to a cold room. You know, a room of people that aren't at all spiritual or woo woo, or at least they don't present that way. Um, to a room of don't tell me who I am, like this is my superpower, you know?
Um, and the truth is that every time I present, I have an overwhelming um, response. People are like, oh my God, tell me more. You just nailed me in two seconds. Like. So it's more your fear that's stopping you than anything else. You know, I would say know your audience. So I use a lot of science. Whenever I'm presenting to a cold room, I will talk about, um, you know, all sorts of different things that really link it back to the science of whether it's the science of neutrinos, whether it's the science of behavior, you know, whatever it is.
I link it back. But the moment you give them something that they're like, holy shit, like you are talking directly to me, they don't care how you get the information. Yeah. And someone very, I met, um, someone fascinating a couple of weeks ago and I can't remember her surname, Nicole's something, and she is a.
Uh, tech startup entrepreneur, um, Australian, but lives in, um, San Francisco. She was back for Christmas and presenting at this same thing that I was presenting at, and we were all talking about this 'cause another one at the round table. Before we went up to speak another one of the, the women at the table was asking us questions and she said, I just don't think people are ready for that.
And I shared my experience. I'm like, honestly, senior leaders, they, they love it. They, they lap it up. Like they, they, they. Absolutely love it. But Nicole, who's the tech startup, she said, here's the thing. I hang out with highly successful tech entrepreneurs and every single one of them. It's a little bit weird, a little bit odd, and definitely believes in something bigger than themself.
Anyone who's had any great success, well, most people that have had any great success believe in something greater because they're not actually abiding by the rules, right? Mm-hmm. They're, they've discovered that something, you know, that, um. Because you don't lead by sticking to the rules because the rules are created to be obedient, to be the factory worker, to be the masses, right?
The moment you rise above that, you are already starting to think outside the box. So these are already people that have thinking outside the box. So I would actually say. You know, maybe they will, maybe they won't. Maybe they're ready, maybe they're not. But who gives us stuff? Like if you love what you do and you show up with that passion and commitment, they lap it up.
And do you change the language at all? Do you do the bg? I haven't learned. I don't. Okay. You just, I just, I just go for it. Like I go for it. And sometimes, like, I'll even use like. Again, you know, behavior is my jam. Like I love this, but I will say like, so for all the skeptics in the room. Yep, that's me too.
Or that was me too. Like you can call 'em out. Like, that's the other thing that I always do. I'll call out my fears, and again, this is like a sales tactic, but it's naturally been something I've always done. I'll call out the elephant in the room, you know, like in case you think this is some woo woo, let's talk about neutrinos.
You know, and, and I always say there's a hundred million dollar facility in Japan. Studying neutrinos, they're fundamental to how our universe works. So when you throw in all this validity, they're just like, okay, alright. Um, and their brain gets on board with it, you know? And, and so once you know your room, you, um, and a lot of the way I present and I will present, there will be differences and nuances for every room I go into.
And again, I follow my gut. You know, I, I trust what comes through. You know, whatever I feel inspired to share is what I share. I don't think about it logically. Um, I really trust the process. And again, for you with mental definition, you might just have one logical process and then you just tweak a few things.
Um. Because that's your mastery. So again, trust yourself, trust your design. But going back to that culture piece like you are going when you're aligned and in that like senior leadership, corporate culture, that should feel really good to you.
Wow. I'm just. Blown away. Thank you so much. And Emma, I just noticed. Yeah, I know, right? I'm still wearing it. Yeah. Well, I wear them like, I think T actually had almost all of hers on for the longest time, and then her nephew vomited on them all. Oh no. I know, right? You know it. It's a small thing to deal with when you've got a cute new baby nephew.
But, um, but yeah, they're really cool. I, I love it, you know, uh, they're really, really cool. Well, thank you so much for being here, Tracy, and I'm so excited to see where everything goes with you. And I think. Ultimately, just give yourself the validation, you know? Yeah. Just, just give yourself the validation.
Stop giving your power away to other people thinking that they know more than you do. You're extraordinary. You're amazing. You know, all you gotta do is follow through. That's all you gotta do. Just keep going. Emma, thank you so much. This, it's, it's truly an honor I haven't been able to sleep for, for days.
This is such a gift. Thank you so, so much for everything. Mm, you're so welcome. And I'm so grateful that you're a part of my world, so thank you.
