0:01
Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to
0:05
helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
0:09
flow without sacrificing results.
0:11
Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
0:15
according to your human design.
0:17
I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:22
Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
0:25
I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:26
And today, we're going to dive into a little bit of genius.
0:29
Today, we're going to talk about what it means to really decode
0:32
your genius with human design.
0:34
Human design is this amazing tool that can actually allow us to understand
0:39
more deeply what makes us special.
0:42
This show is for entrepreneurs.
0:43
This show is mainly geared toward entrepreneurs.
0:46
If you're a seeker, then this is the place for you too.
0:48
If you're like, I just want to know what makes me different, what makes me special.
0:53
I know that there is something calling me.
0:56
There's something deeper that I desire to get to.
1:00
So this show is for you if you fit any of those descriptions.
1:04
But one thing that I find in particular with the entrepreneurs I work with
1:07
a lot, because I work with a lot of that seeker entrepreneur population,
1:10
but particularly the energy workers, the healers, the people in the
1:15
transformational coaching space.
1:17
So the people who are life coaches who help with the somewhat intangible stuff.
1:22
It's so important for you to know what makes you special because honestly
1:26
what I have found in working with these people and going deep with them, is
1:30
a lot of times they don't know how to articulate the special thing that they do.
1:35
They get these amazing results from people, they have these skills, but
1:39
they think that the skills, are the thing that people buy, and they do,
1:43
they're buying what you do for them.
1:45
But then you're also combining, what is the angle for you?
1:49
Why would they go to you, and not to somebody else?
1:52
People come to me for a very specific reason.
1:55
People come to me for the way that I deliver this message.
1:59
They come to me for my expertise.
2:01
They come for me for clarity on human design.
2:04
They want me to explain it to them.
2:05
They feel like I can illuminate something for them.
2:08
That's part of my design.
2:10
I have brought that front and center into my brand and that's
2:13
what I teach people to do.
2:14
But I brought that front and center into my brand because it made me feel really
2:18
empowered going through my own design to say, yeah, that is what I'm here for.
2:24
So I want to break down in today's episode, I want to break down What's
2:28
needed in order to decode your genius?
2:30
Like, how do you even start?
2:31
Where does this come from?
2:33
Where do we find genius in the chart?
2:35
It might be a little unexpected for you when I tell you where it's found and
2:39
like how we go through this process.
2:42
And what role does genius play in your brand and in your business?
2:46
Like, why is it important to know what it is and give it a place in your business?
2:52
So we're going to go through all of that in today's episode.
2:54
And I call it decoding your genius, because I do really believe that this is
2:57
a decoding process that we go through.
3:00
Okay?
3:00
So before we start, I do want to call out that we have the Authority Accelerator
3:05
Masterclass going on right now.
3:07
That is my free 5 day masterclass where I take you through all 5 pillars, 5 steps
3:13
in my soul strategy method to building a business according to your human design.
3:18
So I take you through that.
3:19
It's all about making your expertise irresistible.
3:22
To the people who interact with you and your content and your message.
3:27
How do we do that through human design?
3:28
I'm going to take you through all of the process in a free five day masterclass.
3:33
All you have to do to register is to DM me the word masterclass on Instagram.
3:37
I'm @NicoleLainoOfficial, or go to nicolelaino.com/masterclass and you can
3:41
register right there on their website and we'll get you taken care of right there.
3:45
Okay, please come, it's a really fabulous thing.
3:47
So, without further ado, let's get into decoding your genius with human design.
3:52
So, first of all, let's just talk about what geniuses are.
3:55
And know that you're a genius, that there is something special
3:59
about every single one of us.
4:01
We were born with a specific Infinite potential.
4:06
We all have some higher gift and I gotta say some people find that their
4:10
gift, when they first hear about it.
4:12
When they first hear something, so when they read a definition of a gate or when
4:18
they read the definition of their cross or something that, is supposed to be their
4:22
purpose, it might seem a bit mundane.
4:24
It might be a bit confusing.
4:26
Then they start to feel like, oh, maybe they're not so special, or maybe this
4:30
system doesn't have something for them.
4:32
And I have to say that that's, it's really just a matter of you haven't gone deep
4:35
enough if you're having those feelings.
4:37
That there is a much deeper level.
4:39
But let's just talk about, when we talk about traditional geniuses,
4:42
what makes somebody a genius?
4:44
Well, geniuses are dynamic problem solvers.
4:48
Geniuses don't think in the box, they think out of the box.
4:53
So I'm going to challenge you as a genius to think out of the box here a little bit.
4:58
To challenge you to become a dynamic problem solver when it comes to this
5:02
process of decoding your genius.
5:05
Go beyond the definitions, go beyond what it "means", and
5:12
start to really take it in.
5:16
And really absorb what it is that you're reading, contemplating, what's
5:22
being told to you in a reading.
5:24
However you're experiencing this information, you're
5:26
listening to a podcast.
5:28
Really allow it to penetrate you.
5:30
This approach to decoding your genius, I do think, is far more
5:34
artistic than it is scientific.
5:36
It's going to be a little bit more abstract than logical.
5:40
So, dare to go into the illogical spaces, dare to go into the more abstract places.
5:46
You have to be able to go into the places where you're trying this idea
5:51
on, and you're really passing your life through some of these codes.
5:57
So, one of the ways that we start to decode the genius, one of the ways that
6:02
we do it and one of the places that we look, I think the Gene Keys activation
6:07
sequence has really been laid out well as that kind of first step, which is
6:12
to go through your incarnation cross.
6:15
And your incarnation cross is made up of four gates, the conscious sun, the
6:19
conscious earth, the unconscious sun, the unconscious earth, the two top gates
6:23
on either side of your head, in the columns running down the sides of your
6:28
human design chart when you run it.
6:29
Now these represent your prime gifts.
6:32
They represent the biggest energies in your chart.
6:35
But genius isn't given or guaranteed.
6:38
Purpose isn't given or guaranteed.
6:41
It is something that comes through you walking the walk.
6:46
Okay?
6:47
And there are other aspects to this.
6:49
So, whenever we look at something and we say, Oh, it's this one
6:53
thing, or it's these five things.
6:54
Now, in the Authority Matrix, which I'll be going through in the Authority
6:58
Accelerator Masterclass, The Authority Matrix is my little cocktail of eight
7:05
elements of the human design chart that I dive deep into, and those are the
7:10
places that we kind of swim in the most.
7:12
To figure out okay, what are the codes of your genius?
7:15
What do they mean to you in these ways?
7:18
And how can we coax your meaning out of this?
7:21
How can you start to work with this?
7:24
There's a reason that my program is a year long, and it's not something
7:28
that I do in just two or three days and I say, okay, you're good now.
7:32
It's because it is a process.
7:34
It's a process of embodying what these things mean to you.
7:37
So I encourage you to be patient with your human design process, however
7:41
you're choosing to go through it.
7:42
Is to really allow it to do its work on you.
7:46
That sometimes just even knowing some of these things, we have to start to put them
7:49
in the back of our mind, put them into our experience, and notice how they have been
7:54
showing up in our lives the entire time.
7:57
It's always been there.
7:59
But what's really cool is when you start to dive into the different
8:03
aspects of your design, A lot of really amazing things happen.
8:06
Because like I said, a lot of people who are gifted at what they
8:10
do, don't necessarily know how to speak about or aren't comfortable
8:15
speaking about why they're awesome.
8:16
Why me?
8:17
That question of why you, why should people work with you, a lot of people
8:21
will say things like, well I really care.
8:23
And that's wonderful.
8:24
I'm happy that you care.
8:25
You should care.
8:27
And it's sad that there are so many people who don't.
8:29
But you do have to go deeper than that.
8:31
You have to say, because I'm really good at this thing, and here's how me
8:34
being good at this thing, helps you, because this is what makes me better
8:39
at it for you, than these other people who are not good at this little thing.
8:43
It's never just one thing.
8:46
So I'm going to give you an example.
8:47
I did a reading the other day with a lovely woman, and she has been kind
8:53
of dabbling in her human design for a little bit, and we were talking about
8:57
her type, we were talking about her profile, and when I asked her, like I
9:00
ask everybody before these readings, and she has a business reading booked
9:03
with me as well, so she's doing the foundational reading, and I told her,
9:07
I was like, we're gonna go very deep in the business reading with, me, so don't
9:10
worry about if we didn't go deep enough.
9:13
I'm going to give you the mechanics of your design.
9:15
I want to make sure that that is all working and you're understanding that.
9:18
And then we'll go to level two and we'll go deeper But even just touching
9:24
on it, you know when I ask at the beginning of readings, I always say,
9:27
what do you hope to get out of this?
9:29
Is there any area that you really want me to focus on?
9:32
Is there something that you're curious about?
9:34
Just so I know that it's important to you and I don't miss it.
9:38
And she just said, well, I don't really understand my cross, my incarnation cross.
9:42
And I said, fine, we'll talk about it.
9:44
And she does have one of those ones that can be a little
9:46
confusing for people to understand.
9:48
Some of them are pretty cut and dry and other times they're a theme like I
9:53
always say, your chart isn't gonna tell you that you should be an architect.
9:58
But it might tell you that there are strong aspects of
10:02
aesthetics in your chart.
10:04
I have seen those charts where it's like, this is a very visual chart that you have.
10:08
And a lot of times those people are already working in a visual medium.
10:13
So now how do we take the other aspects of their chart and say,
10:18
this is how you can enhance this.
10:20
So there can be that aspect.
10:22
Sometimes people are like, I'm trying to decide I'm making a pivot and I'm
10:26
trying to decide what direction to go in.
10:27
And I might say, given these elements of your chart, have you
10:32
thought about these questions?
10:34
Have you thought about these things?
10:35
And that helps to drive a direction.
10:38
And it always comes back to, but it's your strategy and authority
10:40
that's going to tell you where to go.
10:42
But it can start to illuminate a path.
10:44
It can start to help you say like, I'm not crazy for thinking that.
10:48
Like I say all the time, people come to me because I explain things.
10:51
So this person that I did the reading for, when we sat down,
10:55
she was like, I booked this with you and she's in another country.
10:57
So it was not the most convenient time zone for her, I'm sure.
11:01
She said, I booked this with you because you explain things in just a way I
11:05
haven't heard before and she said you don't sound like you're reading it off
11:09
of a page like you just read a book and then you're sharing the information that
11:13
you're regurgitating it sounds like you really know what you're talking about.
11:17
That comes from me, not just knowing what my design is but nurturing the
11:22
aspects of my design that matter most.
11:25
So that I am tuning my gifts to a higher frequency and they are reaching
11:31
people that I have never met before.
11:33
And I have built a platform that has allowed me to broadcast my gifts regularly
11:40
and the right people are picking it up.
11:42
I had no idea she existed in my community until she booked something with me.
11:47
So, as we were going through her genius, And we were talking about it, and she has
11:51
one of those more higher concept crosses.
11:54
Where it isn't necessarily about something that seems obvious.
12:00
She's going to have to lay it over her life and figure out,
12:03
how does this play out for me?
12:04
How does this reflect for me?
12:06
But I told her, I said, I gave her an explanation of her cross, and I said,
12:10
let's break it down by the gates, and I'll do this deeper in the business reading,
12:13
but let's go through this now, because it matters to you, I want to start here.
12:17
And I always mention the cross in a reading, like I'm not, leaving it out.
12:20
But I go deep into it in a business reading, which is what all of
12:23
my clients get in the business by human design mentorship.
12:27
They all get readings with me, so I make sure that I'm going
12:30
through that with them one on one.
12:32
I took her through the cross, I said, let's break it down by the gates, and then
12:36
I'll kind of tell you what the whole story is, and then it's for you to pick up
12:39
and say, okay, how has this been playing out for me, what resonates, what doesn't,
12:44
and that's where the work sort of begins.
12:47
Because like I always say, the conscious son in Gene Keys
12:49
is called your life's work.
12:51
Most people don't want to do the work.
12:52
Or they don't want to look at the work that had to be done in order for them
12:55
to live in the gift of this thing.
12:57
That's the work.
12:58
Everybody's like, okay, I got the definition.
13:01
Now what do I do?
13:02
And it's like, well, now the work begins.
13:04
But with her, what I was going through was I said, okay, now the
13:07
cross is a thing, but there millions of people who have the same cross.
13:11
They're all going to do very, very different things.
13:13
How do we get it to apply to you?
13:15
Okay, well, let's start looking at this.
13:17
You're a reflector.
13:19
Let's look at how a reflector would have this particular gift,
13:25
this particular purpose play out.
13:28
Well, it's going to be through this, and I went through the way that it
13:32
suddenly changes now when you look at it through the lens of a reflector.
13:35
And you say, okay, you have this profile.
13:38
Well, now we're getting to another nuance.
13:40
And now we start to have something that looks far more specific than just a
13:45
definition of a cross or a definition of one of the gates or four gates.
13:50
And we're trying to figure out how all of these pieces play together.
13:54
We are bigger and greater than the sum of our parts.
13:58
But it does help us to break down the parts so that we could see them and
14:02
we could start to put our awareness on them and we can start to nurture them.
14:07
Because sometimes as we're decoding our genius, we discover things that need work.
14:12
I discovered far more work than I found gifts in the beginning.
14:18
I found areas where I was like, I had to look at it critically.
14:21
And I had to say, yes, I'm definitely spending more time in the shadow here.
14:27
I'm struggling here.
14:28
And maybe this is the first place I do the work because this is so important.
14:33
I've talked about it a million times here.
14:35
I had to work on confusion.
14:37
I had to work on my relationship with confusion.
14:39
It wasn't just like, I have to find clarity.
14:41
How do I find clarity?
14:43
Cause my go to is to succumb to confusion.
14:46
And then shift into doubt, and freak myself out, and freeze, and not move.
14:52
Okay, well now I can see that pattern.
14:54
Now I can observe it.
14:56
Now the next step is how do I transcend it?
14:59
And then you work on that piece and you say, okay, well now that works.
15:03
Now that's doing better.
15:04
Different doors start opening up through this process.
15:08
Unexpected things happen.
15:10
You start to discover things that maybe you didn't know were there or
15:15
the potential you always knew was there, but you either denied it, you
15:20
downplayed it, or maybe it just came out different than you thought it did.
15:24
But if you feel like you have potential inside of you.
15:28
If you feel like there has been something calling to you.
15:33
Something saying, we're bigger than this.
15:36
There's more to do here.
15:38
And now I talked about in a recent episode, I talked about the nodal shift.
15:43
Why everything shifts at 40 was the name of the episode.
15:46
It was like four episodes or so ago.
15:48
I don't have the number.
15:49
We'll link it up in the show notes for you.
15:51
But that episode I talked about that shift of midlife where we go from
15:56
the south node to the north node.
15:58
It is the center point, the turning point, the plot twist in our story
16:02
where everything starts to change.
16:04
Now the other way to look at this is that, I don't know if you've heard me
16:09
say this on the show before, but your cross, you're not born with the purpose.
16:15
You're born with the potential for the purpose.
16:17
It is the walking the walk of your design throughout your life.
16:21
Discovering the gifts, learning the lessons.
16:26
Some gates come with strong lessons, some channels.
16:29
These are the things that we're here to master.
16:32
It is a map to how you master yourself.
16:35
So you lead yourself.
16:37
But what happens is at that midlife point, as you're starting to shift and everything
16:41
starts to change, your cross starts calling to you in a bigger and bigger way.
16:47
Your purpose starts telling you it's now.
16:51
Do it now.
16:53
Do the work now.
16:55
And if you're feeling that call, then this is what I have found to
16:59
be the fastest track to figuring yourself out, to really owning your
17:04
gifts, to really embodying them.
17:06
Not just what it says on a piece of paper or on a screen that you can forward to
17:10
somebody, but literally something that you walk around emanating from you.
17:15
And it is immeasurable power when you have that.
17:19
It is so exciting.
17:20
It is so liberating.
17:22
And it is so validating because there is no greater power in this world than
17:28
to be exactly who you were born to be.
17:30
That purpose that you've been walking around your whole life feeling like
17:33
it's maybe dormant or it peeks out here and there or you just know it's
17:37
there even though you can't see it, to actually start to see it peek its little
17:41
head out and start to show up and you start to become it, that is priceless.
17:47
So I will be taking you through my whole process of building a whole
17:52
business according to your human design.
17:54
The strategic sides of it that don't involve human design, and the human design
17:59
part, the energetic stuff, and all of the energy infused genius brand that I teach.
18:05
I'm taking you through the entire thing.
