From Limitations to Liberation: My Journey with Human Design

Have you ever felt like your story wasn’t worth sharing? Maybe because you've never faced significant adversity, you wonder if you have anything of value to offer the world. I felt exactly the same way for a long time. I used to think that because I hadn't survived abuse, experienced a narcissistic relationship, or overcome major personal tragedies, I had no compelling story to tell.

It seemed like all the inspirational speakers and podcast guests had extraordinary journeys—survivors of illness, cults, or extreme hardship. Meanwhile, I felt like my life had been relatively easy. I’ve never been homeless, my parents didn’t divorce, and I’ve always had enough for my basic needs. I thought that made me less remarkable.

But here's what I learned: Just because you haven't experienced a major life crisis doesn't mean you don’t have a story to share. For a long time, I felt insecure because I believed I was just “average.” I didn’t realise that overcoming the pressures and challenges of a seemingly ordinary life can be just as transformative.

I spent years in the corporate world, desperate to reach the top. I worked 12-hour days, striving to prove my worth, chasing promotions, and grinding away in marketing roles that left me feeling drained. At the time, I thrived on the praise I received for my efficiency and output. But I was burning out. I was trapped in a cycle of endless work, losing sight of the life I truly wanted to live.

Then, in 2020, everything changed. I discovered Human Design.

Learning that I was a Projector type in the Human Design system was a revelation. Projectors are not designed to work long hours or keep up with the relentless "go, go, go" mentality. I had been living completely out of alignment with my natural energy. The realisation was huge—my life, up until that point, was all wrong for me.

I began deconditioning—shedding the layers of who I thought I was supposed to be. I started embracing my true self, the person I was meant to be according to my design. As I leaned into my Human Design type, things became easier. Opportunities flowed, and my life began to transform.

Fast forward four years, and I now know that I do have a story. It's a story of overcoming the internal resistance, the burnout, and the anxiety that came from living a life that wasn’t truly mine. I had to save myself from myself, and I want to help others do the same.

I now work 50% less than I used to, putting in only 4-6 hours a day, and I earn three times as much. My life is spacious—I no longer fill my days with back-to-back meetings or endless tasks. Instead, I have room for creativity, play, and rest. I have the freedom to enjoy lunch with friends or take off for a few days to explore the beautiful rural areas of Devon, where I live. And most importantly, I get to do all of this while earning a living and sharing my truth on stages and podcasts.

This journey of alignment with my Human Design has brought me happiness and fulfilment. And while my story may not involve overcoming immense external challenges, I did overcome the biggest obstacle of all—my own conditioning.

Recently, I created a mini-course called From Limitations to Liberation, which dives deeper into the concept of the “Not-Self” in Human Design. This is where our shadows live, where we experience conditioning that keeps us from living authentically. Over the years of working with clients, I noticed that while Human Design readings offer clarity and empowerment, we can go even deeper. We can explore the parts of ourselves that are conditioned and begin to heal them.

This course helps you move from living in your Not-Self—the conditioned parts of your chart—into living in your true definition, your unique genius. It’s a mini-course because you only need to watch the videos relevant to your undefined centres in your Human Design chart. You’ll also get practical steps to start making changes that allow you to live authentically, free from the limitations imposed by external expectations.

If you’re ready to start your journey towards living in alignment with your true self, I’m offering the first video of the course completely free. It’s a 30-minute introduction that will give you a taste of what’s possible when you begin to embrace your Human Design.
