- Courtney Koenig: Welcome to the ROI of Peace podcast. I'm so excited you're here. I'm sending you lots of hugs and lots of love. I'm so excited we get to spend this time together. When my family and I were in Hawaii a few years ago, it was the most magical trip ever. I am a beach girl. I love the beach. I'm here in Texas. I don't feel like our beaches are that good. And so I'm like, I love Florida beaches. I love. any kind of beach. We went to Costa Rica, went to the beach. I mean, it's just a magical, wonderful place. So in Hawaii, we were talking as a family, like what excursions do we want to do? And everybody settled on, we really want to go on this boat ride snorkeling trip. It was this boat ride up and down the Wahoo coast, and then we'd stop for snorkeling. Now I have this deep seated fear of, I love the ocean, but I have a deep seated fear of deep water. Like it can be a pool, it can be an ocean. I just need to touch the bottom or see the bottom or have a clear pathway to be able to walk out of the water, you know? So when we were on this boat ride, the captain stopped us where we were going to snorkel and he said, everybody that wants to snorkel, go to the front of the boat. You're going to get some instructions and you'll be able to go in and snorkel. We'll have people in the water helping out and all these things. And so. I was like, if I'm going to snorkel anywhere, this is the place to snorkel. I'm going to have deep regrets. My future self will be like, why didn't you do that or try it? You know? And so I thought, okay, let's try this. Let's at least go to the front of the boat, get the instructions. So when we went to the front of the boat, they said everybody has to have a life vest on. Now you can pump up your life vest or you can have just no air in the life vest, depending on what you want to do. But you have to have a life vest on. So I was like, I will pump this air, this life vest full with air. I will be floating. So my husband's like, Scott's like, Hey, know, everybody's going to go snorkeling. I know I want you to have this experience. Do you want me to stay and help? You know? And I'm like, I think I'm going to stay very close to the boat. So. because I don't want to be so tired that I can't swim back. know they wouldn't just leave me there, but you know, like I don't want to be so exhausted that I can't get back to the boat. I let everybody, my family, I let everybody on the boat go. I was like, everybody go, because I know it's going to take me a little bit of time to get into the water because of my fear, plus the MS fatigue, you never know when that's going to rise up. And so I'm like, just everybody go. So I'm about to get into walk. down the little ladder, you know, into the ocean. And I'm like, ⁓ my gosh, can't, you know, I can see clearly, but I can't, the bottom is really far away. And as I am like hesitating, the captain of the boat says, hey, would you like a floatie? Like one of the pool noodles. And I'm like, send me the pool noodle, yes. So here I have a life vest on. I have a pool noodle. And then this other woman that was kind of helping out with things, she was in the water and she's like, hey, do you want to, cause she could still tell I was so nervous. She's like, hey, do you want to hang on to the life ring that's attached to the boat? She's probably thinking inside, girl, you're not going to lose it, but just, know. And I was like, yes, that sounds great. So here I am with a life vest, a pool noodle and. a wonderful like attachment to the boat, like the ring, you know, the ring that they throw into people like, hey, catch this. And then they could pull them back in. was, I got that too. So I got into the water and I was like, okay, surely I could do this. So I get into the water, this nice woman was like, all you have to do is tip forward, put your face into the water and let your feet rise up. And I was like, okay, surely I can do this. And so that's what I did. I tipped over, I put my face into the water and I was like, my goodness. I saw the most beautiful fish with bright colors and they're swimming all around me. It was stunning. I saw coral, bright purples and pinks and oranges and just like, it was unreal. So I had my face down in the water for... like a minute or two looking around and I come back out and I'm like, that was phenomenal. I have never seen the earth like that. A piece of the earth that I've never experienced before, but I only experienced it because I had a pool noodle, a life vest, and I knew I was attached to the boat. I needed these different things to help me to have this great experience. In personal development, we need to have these beautiful experiences that support us, that accommodate who we are. I really, really cannot stand when people are like, hey, you know, whether it's a guru or a coach or someone in the industry is like, hey, do this one thing and you'll be great. That one size fits all methodology does not work. And that's where human design comes in. Human design is this, it's a personality test, similar to the straight finders or Enneagram, but you will love it 10 times more because it goes into 10 times more depth. It shows you how you're designed to use your energy, how you're meant to make decisions and the gifts that you were individually born with. It's 35. to 40 parts on everybody's human design chart that shows how do you show up in this world and how do you make the thing that you want happen for you individually. So instead of forcing life, you start working with your gifts, tapping into the support and the accommodations that you need, making better decisions. This is the beauty of human design. Take a breath. You've got this. Manifesting generators. This one is for you. This is your human design type. And this is the first place that you want to start when you're learning about yourself, really seeing you for who you are and all the beautiful gifts that you were born with. If you're looking at your human design chart, there's a list of things and towards the top, will say human design type or type. And it's going to list off different things and manifesting generator, this is yours and this is you. You have this vision of initiating like that manifest or energy and you have the sustainable energy of a generator. So it's all kind of coming together. So what this means is you are fast pioneers blaze trails, but they blaze trails in a way that's really opening up new pathways for them and others. You're very dynamic. You're not meant to blaze a trail in a straight line, right? you're meant to have limitless possibilities all for you. And that's actually your mantra is there are limitless possibilities for me. One of the things that as a manifesting generator, I want you to tap into is you're designed to follow what lights you up. So think about that when you're looking at a firework or a sparkler, it's all like sparkly and energetic and people cannot. get their eyes off of it. That's exactly what you want to do is you want to follow what lights you up inside. That's your pathway to moving forward. That's when you know you're in going in the right direction. It's not necessarily a spreadsheet. It's not necessarily like analytical or overthinking in your mind. It's like, wait, what's my body seeing? That's where we're going to move forward. And as you do so, you're going to move quickly. Manifesting generators are like bouncy balls, right? When you throw those little bouncy balls, they bounce all over the place. They look chaotic. And have you ever tried to catch one of those when it's like not stopped? I'm like, it looks like a mess. You know what? That's the same thing for you is that you move quickly and you bounce from one thing to the next, to the next. And it's not that you're not concentrating or you're not finishing up a thing. That's actually the momentum that you're supposed to have is in the bounce, you're going to gather the information, the experience, whatever you're going to gather from that thing, and then you're going to move on to the next thing. You're designed to move quickly and to pivot. So when you're pivoting, I want you to internalize that you're doing the right thing because your body's telling you where to go. You're not listening to what other people are saying necessarily because they don't understand the experience that you're having. And so drop them the thought that, I don't ever finish things or I can't concentrate on, you know, like whatever. My day should look linear. Your day is going to look all over the place and that's the best thing for you. And so it can look like craziness for other people, but inside you know what's going on. You're the bouncy ball. Allow yourself the freedom to bounce. One of the other things as a manifesting generator is really tapping into that gut level. Yes. Feel that burst of excitement. So a yes feels like sparkly, feels energizing, it feels exciting, it can feel joyful, it can feel passionate, it can feel fulfilled. A no is feeling like, I should do this, it's a responsibility, everybody looks to me, sure I'll pick it up, I'll do it, why not, you know? It can feel uninspiring, it can feel blah. I want you to get really clear on what is a yes into your body and what is a no. because you've said yes to a lot of things that you should say no to. And I need you to be brave enough to say yes to the things that are really lighting you up inside that are this gut like reaction of, yes, I should do that. That's what I want you to go and move towards. And that momentum will compress time and you'll figure things out as you go. But when you have a lot of nos in your life that you have said yes to, it's going to... Take away from that creativity and that innovation that you're so good at. Doors will open when you say yes to the right things. Now, I want you to also, I want you to watch out for your path is filled with things that you're, lots of things that you're passionate about. You can be passionate about crafting and making hats that you sell on Etsy. You can be passionate about branding for companies. You can be really excited about thought leadership and want to step into that. can be lots of things that don't seem necessarily to all fit together in a puzzle system, but it fits because it's you. so lean into that. Don't stick to just one thing. Don't compartmentalize yourself into like, ⁓ I just have to focus on this one thing and really nail it down. You know, that's not you. So I want you to kick all those thoughts to the curb, really trusting your gut to say yes to those things and feel free to have the freedom to pivot. without guilt. Pivoting is not a failure, it's your strategy and that's where the real shift comes in and you're not here for this linear life, you're here to do more. So your strategy to tap into your type as a manifesting generator is to really follow the spark without guilt, without overthinking, let yourself feel into that yeses and respond to the yeses and respond to the noes. Now, responding does take a moment. You can't just be like, let's do this right away. I want you to take a minute, five minutes, half a day, sleep on it. Whatever you need to do in your mind to slow down, to give a gap. In Europe, when they have, and I think all subways, there's this mind the gap, right? That is a really great tool for you to use when you're deciding what you want to say yes to and what you want to say no to. Mind the gap. Give yourself your body time to say, wait, this is a yes or this is a no. And this is a little bit of a skill set, right? You have to kind of tap into this. And so give yourself time to learn this and to play with it. Reflection questions I want you to tap into. is where am I holding onto something that no longer feels aligned? Yes, where do you need to kick something out? Where am I feeling guilty for wanting to pivot? Right? What is lighting me up right now that I'm ignoring? Yes! There's so much more to human design. There's so many more avenues to really get you to that optimal... part of you. so human design is so crazy and so amazing. There's so many more details and I would love to spend more time together. So you can look in the show notes for the ways that we can spend time together through my app, through my mastermind, through human design reading. It's all here for you to help you to see the great gifts that you were born with. Because when you understand your design, you'll stop trying to fit in with someone else's path and start trusting your own. All right, we'll see you in the next episode.
