In this episode of Well Designed, hosts Brandi Healy and Kyle Wood dive into practical tips for each Human Design type. From Projectors to Manifesting Generators, they offer personalized strategies for living in alignment with your type, covering everything from balancing rest and work to understanding how to navigate relationships and energy more effectively.
Whether you're a Projector learning to manage your energy, a Manifestor learning to initiate, or a Generator looking to stay lit up, this episode is packed with valuable, actionable tips for every Human Design type.
Today we're covering a big one! The Identity Center (also traditionally known as the G Center).
The Identity Center governs love, direction, and the sense of self. It represents our core identity and life purpose, guiding us towards environments and relationships that are most aligned with our true nature so as you can imagine it has a big impact.
We cover how to align with this center whether yours is defined or undefined sharing what it feels like when you're in that alignment and what red flags to look for that you might be out of alignment.

Your Human Design Authority is all about how you best make decisions, and just so you know, it's never from a place of thinking about something to death. But, that's often our default mode, especially when it comes to important decisions.

How do you feel about the word: Ego? With popular books titled with Ego is the Enemy it makes you think that there is something bad or wrong about the ego.
Human Design has a different approach to ego and in today’s episode we’ll share what that is. The Ego Center influences our willpower, motivation, self-worth, and self-esteem. In our words, our passion.
Sometimes called the ‘Heart Center’, it’s definitely not a bad thing to have this defined. Here are some highlights from the episode:
We hope you’ll enjoy this episode in our ongoing series on the Human Design centers!

In the season finale, we take a look back at our episodes this year and discuss the parts that blew our minds the most. We also reflect on how through creating the podcast we were able to experiment with our own Human Design.
Listen in to hear what we have in store for you during the break and for next season. Thank you so much everyone for listening to the show this past 6 months, we can’t wait to continue the journey with you!
We’re excited to share this episode because today we’re talking to our friend Jamie Clark who is also our first Manifestor on the show. Jamie, who has a background in improv and human design, shares with us how she utilizes these in her company to help people overcome their fear of public speaking through inner child work.
We also chat about how Manifestors and Projectors like being asked questions (and what’s different for the two types), a deep dive into the 6th line (profile 6) and how wisdom can be found in feeling angry.
Jamie also ends up giving Kyle a mini-session live on the show which we’ve left in unedited.

Ever get the feeling that you want to just burn your wellness practice down and do something else?
We all get stuck in moments like this and in those moments Human Design can be really helpful. But as we go down the rabbit hole of HD we can get lost in the nitty gritty so today is a reminder of how knowing your type well can tell you a lot about where you might be off track.
In this episode we’ve included some gentle reminders for each Human Design Type to help you feel more in flow and alignment.
Enjoy the episode!
We also mention Mariah Hatch’s episode and I thought you might be interested in a couple other episodes we've recorded on type:
In this episode we’re continuing our series on the Human Design centers with the Sacral center. This is such an important center for two reasons:
We cover how to find this center on your chart, how to know if it’s defined or undefined and what that means. We also share some practical tools for aligning with the sacral center that you can start using today.
So here it is, the Human Design Sacral center explained:
At the start of the pod we mention 2 other episodes on centers that are also authorities. They are the Spleen center episode on the Emotional center episode.
We also mention a couple of other podcasts. Non-sacrals (those with an undefined or open sacral center) might enjoy fellow Projector Uma Girash’s podcast, Being Fully Me. Defined sacral beings might enjoy Jackie Murphy’s podcast, Yoga Boss.
Yay! We’ve got another guest on the show this week, Mariah Hatch!
Mariah is a yoga wellness professional who specialises in helping people process their emotions through meditation, yoga asanas and practical tools. Her Human Design is a 4/6 Sacral Generator.
We cover topics such as trusting your gut, the importance of making mistakes, and the power of human design. Mariah shares her experiences as a yoga teacher and her journey in starting her own business.
Welcome back to Well Designed! In this episode we’re going to talk all about the part of your design that is linked to how to how you communicate.
Whether you’re just having a convo with a friend, promoting your business online or trying to organise a workshop, your throat center’s definition will have a lot to say.
Brandi has a defined throat and Kyle has an undefined throat so we share real-life stories from both perspectives along with lots of tips for supporting yourself and others (and how to communicate best in your business and marketing too, of course!).
Grab a notepad and hit play!
Today we have an amazing yoga coach and therapist-in-training for our guest. Gina Velez is a Human Design Projector with a Splenic (intuitive knowing) Authority.
After being diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome, Gina was fortunate to find a psychologist who introduced her to several integrative practices which in turn lead to her own career in the wellness industry.
We chat to her about bring a projector, working in the performing arts (as a non-sacral person), performing on social media, using your splenic authority for big decisions and more.
Here are the highlights:
Gina has Tourette Syndrome so I thought I’d link to this article if you’re unfamiliar with it.
Gina mentioned studying Internal Family Systems (IFS) and referred to Dick Schwartz’ book No Bad Parts and the movie Inside Out. Gina also has a podcast episode explaining this: LiL: 3 | Exciting News & IFS Therapy
We also gush over the TV show Shrinking and the doco Stutz (and Interstellar).
We’re changing things up this episode to look at the Human Design types - in particular we’re looking at what each type tends to make themselves feel guilty for.
These feelings of guilt often don’t come from us but instead from the perceived expectations of those around us. The irony is that the guilt often holds us back from being in alignment and flow which actually leaves us less energy to fully support those around us.
Listen in as we cover what your negative self-talk might be and a perspective shift that might help you show up differently with more energy and more vibrance.
Here's what we cover this episode:
It's time to dive into the Spleen Center - and with that all things intuition, fear and wellbeing.
In this episode I, Kyle, share my experiences and insights about using intuition and the spleen as an authority for decision-making. I discuss how intuition has played a crucial role in guiding my choices and how it differs from fear.
We also talk about what it's like to have an open or undefined spleen, as Brandi does, and how that can make you more open to others fears. Brandi shares some ways she manages this and how it can actually be a superpower for understanding and supporting others.
The Spleen Center plays a big part in how we interact with others and trust ourselves, you won't want to miss this one!
Here are the questions we answer in this episode:
Let’s take a deep dive into the Emotional center in Human Design (also known as the Solar Plexus). In this episode we cover how both the defined and undefined/open emotional centers can show up in your life.
From being hyper at Disneyland to crying over seemingly nothing, we explore how to align with the sometimes intense energy this center can bring.
Here are the questions we answer in this episode:
In my best infomercial voice: 'Are you tired of trying to copy everyone else to make your business work? Do you want to tap into your hidden strengths and superpowers? Look no further than Human Design energy centers! Plus, this week only, buy one center and you'll get 8 more free!'
Ah, but in all seriousness, the centers are a very cool place to learn more about your design and how you operate best. In this episode, we give you the inside scoop on how to harness the power of your Identity Center, Ego Center, Sacral Center, Solar Plexus Center, Root Center, Spleen Center, and more. You'll learn how to work with both defined and undefined centers, and discover the unique gifts that come with each type. Get ready to unleash your inner superpower and take on the world!
This episode will give you a great starting point and we’ll follow up with individual in-depth episodes on each center too.
In this episode of Well Designed we had a blast interviewing, Hedvika Ticha, who is a 3/5 Reflector. Hedvika has found a way to harness her ability to mirror others through being a feminine embodiment coach and yoga instructor.
We dive into how she quit social media and found success in her business by focusing on in-person connections. We also get into the importance of understanding one's energy and natural rhythms and how your "environment" in human design can affect one's optimal operating space.
We ask and answer these questions:

In this podcast episode, we discuss how to manage stress and burnout by understanding your Root Center. We explore the differences between an open, undefined and defined Root Center in your Human Design bodygraph and how it can affect your ability to manage stress and impact those around you. We also give you some ways to identify what’s going on for you and some tips for moving through your stress.
Here's what we cover in detail (along with links to that part of the episode):
