Hi Reader,
The strain is everywhere these days, isn't it? You are doing a helluva job. Let's just start there.
Now for the story time:
Yesterday, I was chatting with a colleague about the pressure our clients are under these days. I work with incredible women. They're running teams and/or running a business, they're managing kids' soccer schedules, and they're even volunteering or are members of book clubs in their spare time.
On paper, they're successful.
And yet, the strain of the system around them is really starting to show. Quite honestly, I'm feeling the strain myself.
You see, we're in a system that demands more from us than we are able to give. And we're now in a system that includes AI that companies are trying to just replace whole teams with. I'm not anti-AI, but I am anti-AI-replacing-whole-human-jobs. (And of course I'm super concerned with the environmental impact but that's for a different email.)
The latest corporate love affair with AI (and the literal billions invested in this tech) is just another example of the toxic capitalist system that demands more of humans every single damn day. They want to treat us like machines, and so it makes total sense that when they can't push us enough, they want to replace us with machines.
If and when you move out of this toxic system and into your own business infrastructure, creating something from the ground up, it's pretty normal to kind of copy/paste what you know. Even if you have an Etsy shop or a little side gig!
I want you to know that if you've reached a point in your business or life where you just feel like you've traded one restrictive system for another, you are not failing.
Truly, you're running a six-figure nervous system on fumes: because yes, YOU can make six figures. The problem is not with your capacity or your nervous system. It's actually because the systems you learned the ropes in and came into your own, career wise, are built for just one kind of energy type. And that's a ton of freaking pressure to be under when you're building toward your freedom and wealth.
Let me tell you something → When I first discovered my Human Design and committed to working WITH my design each day, that pressure valve suddenly released.
The same strain that my colleagues and biz besties were under started to loosen up for me. I started to realize that I didn't have to approach productivity and product launches and client delivery the same way as everyone else. Because I'm not like everyone else.
And neither are you!
I'm not saying that working with my HD solved all my problems, and I won't make that promise to anyone. What it did, though, was show me that the way I was leading myself through everyday conversations, sales calls, client support meetings, and even creating a grocery list each week, could shift for the better when I did things within my Generator type.
I'm on fire for this Human Design stuff Reader. It's the perfect blend of science/math and spirituality for me and that's why I'm focusing on helping clients understand their HD straight away, before we dive into anything else.
Because when you know your design, you know how you best communicate, make decisions, get creative, and interact with everyone around you.
I'd love to invite you to join me next week on Tuesday, April 28th at 11 am Central, for Lead Like You're Built, a free workshop where you'll learn about your Human Design type and what it means for your work and life.
Once you sign up, you'll receive an email from me with a link to access your free Human Design chart. Bring that with you to the workshop. We'll be working directly with it together on the call.
This isn't some sales pitch wrapped in a "workshop" costume; it's an actual workshop that you'll walk away from with proven tools to make your life better.
Wouldn't it be nice to reduce that strain a bit?
Can't make it live? That's ok! Sign up anyway and I'll send you the replay and the printable guide afterward. 💜 Will I see you there?
xoxo,
Megan
