I renovated (again). Here’s why. Plus, tips on what each of the 5 Energy Types really need to feel whole & aligned

You may have noticed that I changed the name of my website, which I had been calling Parenting for a New Paradigm for the last almost-year-ish, and I now just call it by the url it’s always been, my name.

I even changed my Substack newsletter from PNP to SNP, or Surviving the New Paradigm.

I did so because it’s the right thing (for me) to do right now.

If you’ve been in my orbit for a while, you already know I have a habit of changing the furniture around every so often.

I did it all the time as a kid, growing up. After a while, I’d get sick of having my bed by the window, or my dresser by the door.

Every few months, I needed a refresh.

That’s true for most aspects of my life.

Who can relate?

Lately, I have known the time had come for another shuffle to make things feel fresh, clean, new and inspiring again.

Chiron in Gate 3, comin’ in hot!

I had to get honest with myself:

my content doesn’t always cover topics surrounding kids & parenting, per se, anyway, as you know —

because the world is a hella complicated tapestry.

Our day-to-day lives, whether we’re parents or not, are rich with so many other threads and knots tied together that make us wildly interesting and confounding humans in the first place.

What we’re up against right now, as a Collective, I believe, calls for each of us to step forward with courage, using all of the tools we have at our disposal, so that we have the strength to wake up every day, fight the good fight, and overcome the dismantling of everything we’ve come to rely on.

Hello, Pluto in Aquarius.

Hello, rise of the Sleeping Phoenix.

I just read a post that reminded me of an old saying, which goes something like:

The only way through this insanity is, well, through it.

Can’t go over it. Can’t go around it. Can’t go under it.

I confess, I often find myself struggling right there in the muck of it alongside many of you.

We must hold each other up, though, when we get too tired of treading.

So, from now on, or until I change the furniture around again, I’m gonna zoom out from hyper-focusing on parenting with Human Design,

and give you articles that’ll apply to you simply because you’re a person —

one who has chosen to exist at this time and in this place, on the right side of history.

Because there’s a reason you’re here.

You are an integral part of this historic flashpoint.

And you play a crucial role in it.

The better you know yourself, the better off you’ll fare throughout this season of uncertainty.

Each of us has a part to play in this grand unfolding.

And it seems to me we need a survival manual of sorts, a blueprint, a way of moving forward in this hellish timeline.

Now, I don’t have all the answers — far from it. In fact, I have a lot more questions right now than I do explanations.

But I do have one extraordinarily powerful pathway forward that will get us pointed in the right direction:

Learning and living our Human Design.

Our charts are the blueprints for a strong, healthy, aligned life that’s well-lived.

That strange-looking bodygraph you got when you filled in the form to generate your chart is packed with clues about what lane we’re meant to be driving in.

What hardships we’re here to learn our way through.

What gifts we’re meant to be sharing with the world.

Why we are the way we are.

How we’re hardwired make good decisions that yield fulfillment and satisfaction.

How to walk through our day feeling confident.

How to remove pushback and friction from others.

How to untangle ourselves from years’ worth of false, limiting beliefs that caused self-doubt.

Why we’re each badasses, in our own, unique way.

Our HD charts hold the superpowers we’re each meant to wield,

as well as the stumbling blocks our spirit-selves came here, to terra firma, to overcome.

Getting grounded in the truth of Who You Be will be your best bet to making it through this chaos smoothly.

So that’s the reframe you’ll be getting from me here: so that we can get through this hellscape together, and come out stronger on the other end.

This shift brings the Manifestor in me a deeply refreshing breath of freedom to expand that I’ve desperately been needing.

What Small Shift Might You Make to Align With the Power of Your Energy Type?

Manifestors and the Need for Freedom

Us Manifestors need room to let our creativity flow freely, unencumbered, or else we feel shackled. Thwarted. Muzzled. Anger erupts when we don’t get to exercise creative freedom.

Generators and the Need for Joyful Mastery

By contrast, Generators thrive on that feeling of being really, really good at something. They need to joyously swim in the waters of mastery, and they’ll work their asses off to get there. Frustration sets in if they don’t get the chance to practice, achieve and demonstrate mastery.

Projectors and the Need for Recognition

Projectors, meanwhile, require regular doses of measurable proof and validation that their sage advice is being followed by others. They need to see that their advice brings people wins. It sure would be nice for the Projector to feel appreciated every once in a while, too. Bitterness takes over if they don’t get the recognition they deserve.

Reflectors and the Need for New Experiences

Reflectors require intermittent bursts of the unexpected — ‘surprise’ is their signature, because they’re so dang intuitive that they usually ‘just know’ exactly what’s happening with everyone around them. It’s really hard to surprise them! Small, unexpected, and preferably healthy disruptions to the norm that they didn’t see coming are essential to keep them thriving. Disappointment sets in if they don’t get this.

Mani-Gens and the Need for Expediency

And Manifesting Generators need to feel both masterful at their craft and also efficient at whatever they’re working on. Nothing brings them more satisfaction than the accomplishment of ticking off two weeks’ worth of to-do’s in one afternoon, and accomplishing all of that with precision and mastery. Frustration AND anger can rise to the surface if they don’t get to nail that regularly.

We all need what we need, in our own unique way, and this MUST be okay with everyone else.

We’ve got to stop following everyone else’s advice and align with what’s best for us, as individuals.

When we give ourselves what we need, no matter how different that might be from what the people in our life need for themselves —

and regardless of what other people tell us what they think we should do —

we become more powerful, more confident, more at ease, and more like our real selves.

I’m a big fan of making changes in your life if it means you’re continuously moving toward living a more authentic, empowered existence.

That’s what Human Design is here to help us figure out.

What small changes would help you feel more true to your real self?

Authenticity — knowing thyself — is going to be key to Surviving this turbulent shift into the New Paradigm.

Knowing things like your Energy Type, your Defined Gates and Channels, which of your Energy Centers are broadcasting versus which are absorbing energy, what your Profile is and what it means, and more about your Human Design…

gives you the keys to understanding not just your role in the world and in your family, but also in this resistance movement we find ourselves navigating.

So stay tuned.

If you want to fast-track your understanding about what your Human Design is, what it means and how to use it, hit me up for a private 90-minute reading.

Or, follow along here or at my Substack for step-by-step insights about this comprehensive, spiritual-scientific system, a little at a time.

Thanks for understanding that I needed to give myself this freedom to make a necessary shift, and thanks for your commitment to growing deeper into your most authentically powerful self, right here alongside me!

Onward, in service and gratitude.
