460: What Your Cosmic Niche REALLY Means · Unshakeable with Human Design - A Human Design For Business Podcast

0:11
Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
0:17
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:21
Nicole Laino: Hello, and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design.
0:24
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and it's just you and me today.
0:28
Nicole Laino: We are talking about an oldie but a goodie on here.
0:31
Nicole Laino: This is something that I coined the phrase.
0:35
Nicole Laino: I coined the term cosmic niche.
0:38
Nicole Laino: And I.
0:39
Nicole Laino: Because when I discovered it with human design and this particular element of the chart, it was like, oh, this actually really tells your story, and it tells you who's part of your story, and it tells you so much about who you are, where you're going, and you in business, especially when we work for ourselves or we want to understand how we interact with people, and we want to know, how do we attract people?
1:02
Nicole Laino: Well, who are the people I'm meant to attract?
1:04
Nicole Laino: And this was the piece that I kind of honed in on.
1:07
Nicole Laino: And I coined this term cosmic niche because it's the people that you were kind of born to help, the people you were born to interact with.
1:16
Nicole Laino: And I love it, and I love teaching it.
1:18
Nicole Laino: And like, a lot of things with human design.
1:21
Nicole Laino: And what I want to explore in this episode is that it caused a lot of confusion for people, my clients and the people who have gone through the work.
1:29
Nicole Laino: And so many people get so much clarity from this, and they get like, oh, my God, it's like the big aha moment.
1:36
Nicole Laino: But the people who get confused, they get confused for the same reason.
1:40
Nicole Laino: And that's really what I want to talk about in this episode.
1:43
Nicole Laino: I want to break down, why do some people thrive with this information?
1:48
Nicole Laino: Why do some people thrive with a system like human design?
1:51
Nicole Laino: And others struggle?
1:53
Nicole Laino: And it really does boil down to just a few things.
1:56
Nicole Laino: It really just.
1:57
Nicole Laino: It does boil down to.
1:59
Nicole Laino: It doesn't matter about your particular chart.
2:01
Nicole Laino: It's not that projectors have an easier time and manifestors have a harder time.
2:05
Nicole Laino: That's not it at all.
2:06
Nicole Laino: I have seen the confusion happen with all shapes, sizes, types, profiles, whatever.
2:11
Nicole Laino: And I have seen the alignment happen with all the different pieces with all the different types.
2:16
Nicole Laino: Right.
2:17
Nicole Laino: But it does boil down to a few very fundamental sort of ways of operating within this.
2:24
Nicole Laino: Within this.
2:24
Nicole Laino: And I'm going to break that down, and I'm going to break down what the cosmic niche really is, how we look at it.
2:30
Nicole Laino: But I'm going to do that in the greater context of how do we make human design work for us?
2:35
Nicole Laino: How do we really bring this amazing system into ourselves so that we can get what is promised from it?
2:46
Nicole Laino: But it's also just, how do we get more from ourselves in a way that feels really aligned?
2:51
Nicole Laino: How do we get closer to our purpose?
2:54
Nicole Laino: Because that is the question that most of us are asking.
2:56
Nicole Laino: And I want to answer that here as best I can.
2:58
Nicole Laino: I want to be able to come at this in a place where you walk away being like, I think I understand either where I've gotten it right or where I've gotten it wrong.
3:07
Nicole Laino: Right before I get going, I do want to say, if you're interested in this topic, if you are interested in using human design with your business, if you are interested in living your purpose and monetizing that purpose and putting it out in the world and being seen as a thought leader, this is going to be a different conversation.
3:23
Nicole Laino: So I'm teaching a masterclass.
3:24
Nicole Laino: It's a brand new one.
3:25
Nicole Laino: If you've come to the Authority accelerator before, I no longer do that masterclass.
3:30
Nicole Laino: This is different.
3:31
Nicole Laino: While I still teach the same things, this is a very different masterclass and it is intentionally created because I wanted to have a more elevated conversation around human design, around business.
3:44
Nicole Laino: And I really want this to be about the changes that we see happening with 2027 coming and all of the shifts that we're seeing in the both the material world and the energetic world.
3:54
Nicole Laino: What are we seeing in the business industry?
3:57
Nicole Laino: What are we seeing with the online business industry?
3:59
Nicole Laino: Where are we seeing things going?
4:01
Nicole Laino: Where we see it in our politics and all the things that are happening in the world, where are we seeing things go with social media, all of these aspects.
4:08
Nicole Laino: So having that more broader view of what's going on in the macro environment, but then also, you know, being able to have this deeper conversation about thought leadership, about really stepping up into your leadership and thought leadership and doing this, you know, and having an elevated conversation around human design, around what it really takes.
4:32
Nicole Laino: And this episode is sort of set up for that in a lot of ways.
4:36
Nicole Laino: This is kind of a start of that conversation that we're going to finish in the masterclass and we're going to go in depth.
4:43
Nicole Laino: All of the aspects of running a business where you feel like you are.
4:47
Nicole Laino: And I'm calling this masterclass the Expanded Leader.
4:50
Nicole Laino: And the reason is because it's not just about leadership and it's not just about expansion.
4:54
Nicole Laino: It's about the two together.
4:56
Nicole Laino: Everything that I do is a blend of strategy and energy, a blend of the esoteric with the more linear, the masculine and the feminine.
5:05
Nicole Laino: This will be very much in alignment with that, but I'm really weaving the two of them together rather than breaking them apart.
5:11
Nicole Laino: I'm showing you how to be the artist of your life and what this looks like in the context of business.
5:19
Nicole Laino: So I'm very excited about this because this has honestly been the secret to my success.
5:24
Nicole Laino: When I discovered these principles, when I started to dig into everything that I'm teaching in this masterclass, you know, I've doubled my revenue in just a couple of years.
5:34
Nicole Laino: We have gone up.
5:35
Nicole Laino: We went up 50% in revenue last year.
5:38
Nicole Laino: These are huge jumps in numbers.
5:40
Nicole Laino: And I'm going to break down how we did it.
5:42
Nicole Laino: I'm going to give you kind of the behind the scenes of all of that, both the energetic side and the strategic side.
5:47
Nicole Laino: So if you want to join us, just DM me the word masterclass on Instagram.
5:51
Nicole Laino: I'm icoleno official.
5:52
Nicole Laino: Or go to nicolelaino.commasterclass and you can register right there on the website.
5:57
Nicole Laino: Okay, so let's talk about this.
6:00
Nicole Laino: Let's talk about the cosmic niche.
6:01
Nicole Laino: And, you know, I'm titling this.
6:03
Nicole Laino: You know, what it really means to understand your cosmic niche.
6:09
Nicole Laino: And this is getting at that bigger question because what we're really talking about when we start to dig into our human design chart, there are two aspects to this.
6:17
Nicole Laino: There is the mechanical aspect of using human design.
6:20
Nicole Laino: Okay.
6:21
Nicole Laino: You know, which is like your strategy and authority, understanding your conditioning.
6:25
Nicole Laino: How do I operate correctly as myself?
6:27
Nicole Laino: That's what human design is meant to do, right?
6:30
Nicole Laino: That is basically take you out of your head, put you into your body, get you answering questions about what you should do in life from your body instead of from your mind.
6:39
Nicole Laino: How do we get you to get out of the program where you're thinking about everything all the time.
6:45
Nicole Laino: You're wondering if you're going to get it right.
6:46
Nicole Laino: You're wondering if you got it wrong the last time.
6:48
Nicole Laino: You are so worried you're future tripping into, you know, next week, next year.
6:53
Nicole Laino: You're worrying about the past.
6:54
Nicole Laino: All of that's in the head.
6:56
Nicole Laino: And human design is to take you and bring you right back into this moment so you can understand how your energy interacts with people and you can start to have the energetic conversation that is happening, whether you know it or not.
7:07
Nicole Laino: We're all having energetic conversation with each other.
7:10
Nicole Laino: We Just don't know it yet.
7:12
Nicole Laino: And then you become conscious of that.
7:13
Nicole Laino: And now how do we start to have that energetic conversation with ourselves where we're leading out ourselves differently?
7:20
Nicole Laino: Right.
7:21
Nicole Laino: It's really awesome.
7:22
Nicole Laino: That is the mechanical aspect of it.
7:25
Nicole Laino: But then there is the other aspect, which is the more feminine side of things, which is the more esoteric.
7:32
Nicole Laino: I consider this.
7:33
Nicole Laino: This really comes from my Gene Keys training.
7:35
Nicole Laino: So I'm a gene Keys guide and without the gene keys, I don't know if I would.
7:39
Nicole Laino: I would do human design.
7:40
Nicole Laino: I don't know if I would teach it because I don't know if I could because the mechanics of what human design is are amazing.
7:51
Nicole Laino: But they don't get you to.
7:52
Nicole Laino: Most of what I teach is very much Gene Keys based in the sense that it is contemplative, it is discovery based.
8:00
Nicole Laino: And I don't know if human design really puts the emphasis on that.
8:04
Nicole Laino: Human design is just like, shut up and just do it the way that you're supposed to do it.
8:08
Nicole Laino: Shut up and follow your strategy and authority.
8:10
Nicole Laino: Which is fine.
8:11
Nicole Laino: Oh, you're a undefined ego.
8:13
Nicole Laino: Don't try to prove yourself anymore.
8:15
Nicole Laino: There's like the just rules.
8:17
Nicole Laino: And I have been speaking with people recently and they're like, yeah, actually I don't like the rules.
8:21
Nicole Laino: That's actually part of what turned me off to human design for a long time was it felt very masculine and it felt very rigid and it felt very rules based.
8:30
Nicole Laino: And to me, I don't find that's where people find themselves.
8:33
Nicole Laino: I don't find that's where they find their magic.
8:36
Nicole Laino: I don't find that's where they find alignment.
8:38
Nicole Laino: I don't find that it's where they find success.
8:41
Nicole Laino: They might find a little bit of peace that they might be able to do, but they are not finding what they hope to find and everything that we promise and that we talk about with all of this.
8:53
Nicole Laino: So what we're really doing with human design is we are decoding your genius.
8:57
Nicole Laino: That's what it's all about.
8:58
Nicole Laino: And I couldn't do that work with people without the gene keys.
9:03
Nicole Laino: So let's dive into this a little bit.
9:04
Nicole Laino: So when someone comes to me and they're like, I want to know what my cosmic niche is and maybe they take our cosmic niche course or they're in BBD and they're going through that coursework in there where we're helping them find that.
9:16
Nicole Laino: A lot of times they're looking for answer, they're looking to find out, okay, well, who are the.
9:22
Nicole Laino: That I'm supposed to help?
9:23
Nicole Laino: And they're so fixated on the answer.
9:26
Nicole Laino: The like, who is it?
9:28
Nicole Laino: How do I define them?
9:30
Nicole Laino: What do I put on my sales page?
9:32
Nicole Laino: And that's not where the magic comes from.
9:34
Nicole Laino: That's not where the clarity comes from.
9:37
Nicole Laino: I might know that I help entrepreneurs.
9:40
Nicole Laino: That doesn't really help me at all.
9:41
Nicole Laino: And this is when we get into messaging, because really what human design is helping you do, it's helping you message what you do better.
9:48
Nicole Laino: It's helping you understand how you help people.
9:51
Nicole Laino: It's helping you understand what your gifts are.
9:54
Nicole Laino: And that will both be a magnetic draw that people have to you or that you have to them, that you're pulling them in with that.
10:01
Nicole Laino: With the truth of what you're saying, with the frequency of what you are delivering.
10:07
Nicole Laino: But it's also how you speak about what you do.
10:11
Nicole Laino: It's how you message it.
10:13
Nicole Laino: And that comes from a much deeper place than just knowing their demographics, than just knowing, you know, oh, it's entrepreneurs, oh, it's doctors.
10:24
Nicole Laino: That doesn't really help.
10:25
Nicole Laino: I know that I help entrepreneurs, but if that was the only thing that I knew, then I'd be in a lot of trouble.
10:31
Nicole Laino: I don't think you'd be listening to this show.
10:33
Nicole Laino: You listen to this show because I understand my design so well that I've discovered what it is that you need to hear.
10:42
Nicole Laino: And if you don't need to hear it, then you're probably not my person.
10:47
Nicole Laino: And then you will self select out of my world or you will just listen to the things that do resonate with you.
10:52
Nicole Laino: But you're not going to be like one of my people that's like, I have to work with you.
10:56
Nicole Laino: But I have so many those people who do find me and they do come to me and they do because they're like, you have something that I really need, that it's resonating with me deeply.
11:08
Nicole Laino: I have people tell me that all the time.
11:10
Nicole Laino: I had three people tell me that today.
11:12
Nicole Laino: Three different people I had never met told me that they had to work with me.
11:18
Nicole Laino: That the way that I taught and the things that I talked about and the way that I approached this work spoke to them so deeply that they had to work with me that they booked these calls and they were sitting down and were having these conversations.
11:33
Nicole Laino: So decoding your genius is cosmic niche is one piece of decoding your genius.
11:39
Nicole Laino: It is one critical piece.
11:41
Nicole Laino: We have the incarnation cross.
11:43
Nicole Laino: We have the authority matrix that I've been talking about for a long time.
11:45
Nicole Laino: But we could look at the whole chart.
11:47
Nicole Laino: Every chart is different, and every chart has different things that are going to be the most important, the most significant.
11:52
Nicole Laino: And you know what determines that?
11:53
Nicole Laino: You.
11:54
Nicole Laino: You are that deciding factor.
11:56
Nicole Laino: I never know until I start.
11:58
Nicole Laino: When I do readings and business readings with people, I always say to them, I'm like, this isn't the Nicole show.
12:03
Nicole Laino: Like, I'm gonna talk, but I want you to be offering things.
12:06
Nicole Laino: I want you to tell me what's coming up for you.
12:08
Nicole Laino: I want you to be a participant in this, because that's where we're gonna really get somewhere.
12:13
Nicole Laino: If you start telling me something about you, then I can tell you something about your chart, and then I can ask you a question, and then you can have a new answer.
12:21
Nicole Laino: And now we've gotten somewhere.
12:23
Nicole Laino: That's the fun.
12:24
Nicole Laino: And that's what I do with my clients inside all of my containers where we're having these back and forths.
12:31
Nicole Laino: Why?
12:32
Nicole Laino: Because that's what it's all about.
12:34
Nicole Laino: That's what decoding your genius is.
12:36
Nicole Laino: It isn't about reading a gate and understanding what the gate means.
12:41
Nicole Laino: It's what the gate means to you and how it has affected your life and how you have developed a relationship to it and what that relationship is.
12:49
Nicole Laino: Most people are looking in the chart for answers, and they'll keep looking even when they're not finding it.
12:55
Nicole Laino: They're looking for answer.
12:57
Nicole Laino: But the thing with that is that the answer is not in the chart.
13:01
Nicole Laino: The answer's in you.
13:02
Nicole Laino: And you don't get the answer out with more answers.
13:04
Nicole Laino: You get the answer out with better questions.
13:07
Nicole Laino: And that is the power that human design and I think the Gene Keys really offers this, is that we can ask better questions.
13:15
Nicole Laino: I even had it on a connection call that I did with somebody.
13:18
Nicole Laino: I'm asking them questions and I can hear their design talking.
13:21
Nicole Laino: So I can point out ways that they are misaligned.
13:24
Nicole Laino: I can point out things that are coming out, but it's what they take from that matters.
13:30
Nicole Laino: It's not the answer I gave them.
13:32
Nicole Laino: It's what that answer does to them and how it affects them both operating going forward and then also just understanding themselves.
13:40
Nicole Laino: So, like, oh, I really do have this to offer somebody.
13:43
Nicole Laino: My cosmic niche has a very specific message that is always evolving.
13:49
Nicole Laino: By the way, if it were just answer, it would have been the same the whole time.
13:53
Nicole Laino: It would have been the same the that I read it and be the Same today.
13:57
Nicole Laino: There would be no difference.
13:58
Nicole Laino: But that's not true.
13:59
Nicole Laino: It's evolved over time.
14:01
Nicole Laino: I see it differently all the time.
14:03
Nicole Laino: Why?
14:03
Nicole Laino: Because I'm interacting with it and I'm interacting with people, and I'm allowing it to work through me.
14:11
Nicole Laino: That's what your whole chart does.
14:14
Nicole Laino: Whether you're looking at your astrology chart or you're looking at your human design chart, it doesn't matter in your human design chart what we're looking at.
14:22
Nicole Laino: If we're looking at gates and we're looking at the authority matrix and we're looking at your cosmic ditch, and we're looking at all these things, these are things that are yours, that are working through you all the time.
14:32
Nicole Laino: Well, what did you learn from them?
14:34
Nicole Laino: What are the experiences you have with them?
14:37
Nicole Laino: What's a gift that you are taking for granted that you think everybody has, but they don't?
14:43
Nicole Laino: That's what you uniquely offer.
14:45
Nicole Laino: And it isn't that you have, you know, the gate of the fighter and you have fight in you.
14:50
Nicole Laino: It's going to be about, you know, what has your experience been with purpose and feeling maybe like there's a deep connection to purpose in life, and maybe at times feeling like, what's the point?
15:04
Nicole Laino: Because nothing has any purpose.
15:05
Nicole Laino: And that being a tremendous fear.
15:08
Nicole Laino: Those questions start to tease out what is there for you, these foundational things that when you say them, when you talk to somebody about them, they are feeling that on a very deep level.
15:19
Nicole Laino: It's what I am doing here.
15:22
Nicole Laino: You just don't know it.
15:23
Nicole Laino: You don't know that I am operating through my design the way that I am, because it's in my body.
15:29
Nicole Laino: I'm not thinking about it because that's really the level that we need to get to.
15:34
Nicole Laino: And that's what we're going to talk about in the expanded Leader Masterclass is we'll talk about all these things, but it is the embodiment of them all that makes it work.
15:45
Nicole Laino: That's where as you deepen your connection to this work, as you deepen your connection to your chart and what's actually in it and your connection to it, as that grows and you embody it more and more, you'll find that people are finding you easier and easier, that things are shifting.
16:02
Nicole Laino: I never know where things are going, but I trust that the right things are coming to me.
16:06
Nicole Laino: As long as I'm aligned, that's all we can hope to get to.
16:10
Nicole Laino: There are no guarantees.
16:11
Nicole Laino: I don't know what my destiny is.
16:13
Nicole Laino: I just know I'm Here to do the things that I'm doing until something else presents itself and then I'm meant to do something else.
16:20
Nicole Laino: That's all we know.
16:21
Nicole Laino: That's an intuitive business, that's an intuitive life.
16:26
Nicole Laino: So I hope that this came through.
16:29
Nicole Laino: I hope that you see that the chart is a starting point.
16:33
Nicole Laino: The chart is a way for you to relate to yourself in a different way and start to see what you have to offer every single person who listens to this show.
16:43
Nicole Laino: I talk to a lot of you throughout the years.
16:45
Nicole Laino: I have sat down with so many of you through connection calls, seen you in masterclasses.
16:50
Nicole Laino: You've been part of some of our programs, some of the masterclasses that we run.
16:53
Nicole Laino: Some of you have joined the Human Design Authority lab.
16:55
Nicole Laino: So I'm getting to see you in there, which is super exciting.
16:58
Nicole Laino: And you know the interactions we've had.
17:01
Nicole Laino: I know that you are thought leaders.
17:05
Nicole Laino: You have something deep to offer.
17:08
Nicole Laino: There's no question about that.
17:10
Nicole Laino: In fact, usually that's the problem, is that the shallowness of what it feels like, how we feel like we have to create is what stops you, because it feels shallow.
17:20
Nicole Laino: But you have this depth and you have this potential and you feel like it's not quite there yet.
17:26
Nicole Laino: I'm not able to quite tease it out or pull it out of me yet.
17:30
Nicole Laino: And I get that.
17:31
Nicole Laino: And it's this work.
17:33
Nicole Laino: Not the work of getting it all right, not the work of just figuring it out, but of connecting with your chart in a very specific way that I work with people to really start to discover yourself through the lens of this chart, to look at your life and understand what your really here for.
17:53
Nicole Laino: That's how you find it.
17:54
Nicole Laino: That's how you find the courage to put yourself out there.
17:57
Nicole Laino: That's how you find the words that aren't seeming to come.
18:00
Nicole Laino: That's where they come from.
18:01
Nicole Laino: They come from inside of you.
18:03
Nicole Laino: But there is greater discovery that we have to go through a lot of times, many of us, in order to unlock that within us and what it is that's holding you back.
18:12
Nicole Laino: Some people, it's the type and it's just like they haven't really figured out how to work with their type yet.
18:18
Nicole Laino: And some people, it's their authority and some people, it.
18:22
Nicole Laino: You know, most people, it's a combination of a lot of these things.
18:25
Nicole Laino: Some people, a few gates that need to lock into place.
18:28
Nicole Laino: Some people, it's the cosmic niche exit into place.
18:32
Nicole Laino: I know I had so many that I had to work with in order to really step into what I do today.
18:39
Nicole Laino: And I know there's probably gonna be so much more for where I'm going, but this is the journey.
18:44
Nicole Laino: So I hope that it got you excited because this is what we're gonna be breaking down is this artistry of how to become an expanded leader, to not lead from a linear mental place, but from a place of true alignment, to really discover who you are, to discover your thought leadership through the lens of your human design and through looking at your life, really being able to ground into that.
19:10
Nicole Laino: And how do we make a business from that one that actually pays you?
19:14
Nicole Laino: And how does this all tie in with where we're going as a collective, where the business landscape is going, where the online landscape is going, where social is going?
19:25
Nicole Laino: How do we fit into all of that?
