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 Unshakable with Human Design.
0:24
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino and it's just you and me today and we are going to talk about how to navigate big life transitions with human design.
0:35
Nicole Laino: How this tool can really ground you in a process, especially when things feel shaky and not just for you.
0:43
Nicole Laino: This is something that I use with my clients all the time.
0:46
Nicole Laino: I mean, I'm always guiding them through their human design.
0:50
Nicole Laino: I'm using human design to ground them in their own process.
0:56
Nicole Laino: Here's the beauty of this.
0:57
Nicole Laino: So being able to listen to somebody and hear their story, hear what they are going through.
1:04
Nicole Laino: Sometimes we don't have the answer for how this is all going to get better.
1:09
Nicole Laino: When there's a death, when you are moving and you're in between the old place and the new place and things feel chaotic and sometimes there's not a whole lot that a coach can do.
1:25
Nicole Laino: We can hold space, of course.
1:27
Nicole Laino: But what is so amazing about human design and what I want to explore and kind of go through with you here is it allows you to have a process that belongs to the person you're talking to and ground them in that.
1:41
Nicole Laino: And what's so life changing about that is they learn something about themselves through this trauma, challenging transition, this moment.
1:53
Nicole Laino: They actually are learning to embody their process because they're in it.
1:58
Nicole Laino: You're not talking about it.
1:59
Nicole Laino: You're not just telling them like, so you're a generator.
2:01
Nicole Laino: You're tying it to the things that they are going through.
2:05
Nicole Laino: You are anchoring it to their experience and you're guiding them through how they can.
2:10
Nicole Laino: While maybe not fix everything, sometimes it doesn't.
2:15
Nicole Laino: We can't fix grief.
2:17
Nicole Laino: We have to go through grief.
2:18
Nicole Laino: But sometimes by giving people their process through human design or calling out specific aspects from their chart of where this might be showing up for them and why and how it's showing up for them, being able to guide them through in a way that feels both comforting and useful for them, but also it's very supportive for you as the coach.
2:44
Nicole Laino: Before I found Human design and I coached people for quite a long time and I had nlp, I was an NLP practitioner and I was an EFT practitioner and I had taken life coaching courses, I had done quite a bit of study, and I've since gone through somatic trainings and astrology trainings.
3:05
Nicole Laino: Like, I have a lot of expertise and I have a lot of training in how to guide people and how to read people and all of that.
3:12
Nicole Laino: But it wasn't until I found human design that I really felt like I knew how to listen to somebody.
3:19
Nicole Laino: I knew what I was listening for.
3:21
Nicole Laino: And I could start to find the areas of their own process where maybe I could offer them something useful that they could use to shift them back into something that felt more supportive, that felt more them, that felt comforting or helpful in that moment.
3:39
Nicole Laino: So that's what we're going to explore in the episode today.
3:42
Nicole Laino: Now, if you are interested in coaching, if you are interested in guiding people with human design, or if you're just interested in going super deep with this for your own process and your own family and your own group of people that you have around you in your circle, I have been asked about this for many years now.
3:58
Nicole Laino: I have been asked if I had a certification for human design.
4:02
Nicole Laino: And my answer was always no, because I, quite frankly, didn't want to do it.
4:08
Nicole Laino: My sacral said no.
4:09
Nicole Laino: For a very long time I would get a hard no.
4:12
Nicole Laino: And I think it was because I was occupied with other things.
4:17
Nicole Laino: I was excited about other things, my energy was going other places and it was choosing other things besides a certification.
4:25
Nicole Laino: And then people started asking me about a year ago, they started asking me, are you going to do a certification?
4:30
Nicole Laino: And I started to get a different answer.
4:32
Nicole Laino: So we are finally launching it.
4:35
Nicole Laino: And I took a lot of time in figuring out how do I want to teach this?
4:38
Nicole Laino: Because I don't want it to be like every other human design certification because I had to take one multiple certifications of all different types.
4:46
Nicole Laino: And I've taken more human design courses than I can count.
4:50
Nicole Laino: Literally.
4:50
Nicole Laino: I have no idea how many hours I have spent, but it's thousands at this point.
4:56
Nicole Laino: And I've done so much study and I didn't want people to go through that.
4:58
Nicole Laino: I didn't want my certification to be one that left a bunch of holes in people's process that they didn't know what to do with it.
5:04
Nicole Laino: I had no interest in putting out another certification.
5:09
Nicole Laino: That's just, here's what a manifesting generator is.
5:11
Nicole Laino: Here's what a defined G center means.
5:14
Nicole Laino: Here's what it means for this.
5:16
Nicole Laino: I wasn't interested in passing along more definitions.
5:19
Nicole Laino: There are enough books on human design podcasts on Human design, other people's certifications where they give you that did not feel good to me.
5:28
Nicole Laino: I needed to give you something that was a truly practical solution.
5:32
Nicole Laino: So that's what we've done.
5:34
Nicole Laino: My particular method, we're calling it integrated human design because it's truly how you integrate this into your current coaching practice, your therapy practice, your current work, or if you are somebody who is in aspiring coach, an aspiring guide, because that is what you will be when you get out of the certification.
5:53
Nicole Laino: If you are somebody who's an aspiring guide to guide people toward their purpose and to make money at this and to use this in your own business and maybe build a business around human design, it is built for you so you can actually get people results, so that you can actually know what to do with the human design knowledge we are giving you.
6:14
Nicole Laino: While there are definitions, of course you need to know what things mean.
6:17
Nicole Laino: But all of our practical sessions, which we have 12 weeks together, so you will have live sessions with me personally where we are getting you active with the knowledge that you are actively using it.
6:32
Nicole Laino: I'm not teaching in those sessions.
6:33
Nicole Laino: We are only working together and workshopping this.
6:37
Nicole Laino: So when you finish the 12 weeks, you're like, I know what to do with this.
6:41
Nicole Laino: I know what my genius is with this.
6:43
Nicole Laino: I know that I can start taking clients tomorrow and feel confident that I can guide them.
6:49
Nicole Laino: I can give a badass reading, or I could guide people to their purpose.
6:56
Nicole Laino: That is what we are going to do together over the 12 weeks.
6:58
Nicole Laino: If you're interested in that DM ME certification on Instagram, I'm @nicolefficial or go to nicolelaino.com certification and you can check out all of the details there.
7:09
Nicole Laino: Okay, thank you, guys.
7:11
Nicole Laino: All right, let's dive into this.
7:13
Nicole Laino: So navigating big transitions.
7:15
Nicole Laino: I do this pretty much every week Inside Business by Design.
7:19
Nicole Laino: Some client comes in with a major life transition that they're going through something that feels difficult to them or something where they feel like they are between places, whether it's between offers in their business or, like I said, moving house.
7:34
Nicole Laino: This is what life is, right?
7:36
Nicole Laino: Life is full of transitions.
7:39
Nicole Laino: But when we try to give people advice on a transitional moment, again, we're giving them when we're giving them our advice.
7:46
Nicole Laino: So I had a client recently, she's moving, so.
7:50
Nicole Laino: And she's sort of between decisions of where she's going to move to and she's waiting on a job offer and trying to figure out, waiting to see if they are going to continue her in the process of interviewing for this job she really wants, and so she doesn't know where she's moving, but she's got to be out of her apartment.
8:07
Nicole Laino: She has all of these things going on and yet she can do nothing about them.
8:12
Nicole Laino: She's sort of in a holding pattern.
8:14
Nicole Laino: So she's transitioning in her life in this way.
8:17
Nicole Laino: Moving house, changing positions at work, or potentially taking a new position and just shifting all of these things, which can be very destabilizing.
8:28
Nicole Laino: What helps me is to know one.
8:31
Nicole Laino: I know this person, of course, we've been working together for several months.
8:35
Nicole Laino: But to look at her chart and to know what parts of her maybe feel destabilized by this, she's a one lion.
8:42
Nicole Laino: It's like, oh, well, one lines really do wanna know.
8:45
Nicole Laino: They wanna have some sort of foundation.
8:47
Nicole Laino: They want to have concrete, solidified things that feel certain.
8:53
Nicole Laino: They want to feel certain.
8:54
Nicole Laino: And that's what the one line is all about.
8:57
Nicole Laino: She's also a four line, also really likes a foundation.
9:01
Nicole Laino: It can help me to know these things and I can help to guide her as a 14 through this.
9:07
Nicole Laino: But the thing that was standing out to me here was it's what happens in this process because I can watch people no matter what type they are.
9:17
Nicole Laino: But we'll use generators as an example.
9:20
Nicole Laino: Generators and manifesting generators.
9:22
Nicole Laino: What will happen during a process like this when the sacral has nothing to move on, when there is nothing to do?
9:29
Nicole Laino: That's exciting.
9:30
Nicole Laino: I was saying to her, I'm like, you know, nobody likes to pack.
9:33
Nicole Laino: There's nobody who likes to pack for a move.
9:36
Nicole Laino: There's nobody who wants to go through their dead loved ones things.
9:41
Nicole Laino: These are not fun things for us to do.
9:44
Nicole Laino: So it might feel like your sacral is kind of dormant here, which is why it's important to go out and do things that do feel good, that have nothing to do with this, so that you can come back and take care of what needs to be taken care of.
9:57
Nicole Laino: But it's also when your sacral doesn't have anything to engage with, you're going to go right back to your mind.
10:02
Nicole Laino: That's when the thoughts are going to start swirling.
10:05
Nicole Laino: That's when you are going to start trying to figure things out.
10:09
Nicole Laino: And that takes you further out of the process, which makes you feel worse, which makes you feel like you have to figure it out or you have to have a resolution to something, or you sit there without moving and it just ends up feeling like you're neither here nor there.
10:26
Nicole Laino: It feels, I don't like the word hopeless, but that's the one that's coming to me.
10:30
Nicole Laino: Because you just feel like you're helpless.
10:32
Nicole Laino: There's nothing that you can do to fix it.
10:34
Nicole Laino: And you so desperately want to.
10:37
Nicole Laino: So the answer for a sacral is go engage with life.
10:41
Nicole Laino: Go shift to something that does feel good to you.
10:45
Nicole Laino: Your energy wants to go somewhere, unless it's tired.
10:49
Nicole Laino: If it's not tired, then it wants to go somewhere, just not where you are trying to force it to go.
10:54
Nicole Laino: And sitting there and trying to mentally figure things out and try to, you know, you can look at homes in different cities, you can do that, but you can't move on any of them.
11:06
Nicole Laino: So you don't want to do too much of that.
11:08
Nicole Laino: You do what feels good in the moment.
11:10
Nicole Laino: And if nothing feels good, it's because maybe what you are engaged with isn't right for you in that moment.
11:18
Nicole Laino: It's important for me always to bring sacrals back to the moment.
11:25
Nicole Laino: And that because something doesn't feel good now doesn't mean that it won't feel good forever.
11:31
Nicole Laino: We have to remember that because that's how it feels.
11:33
Nicole Laino: We lose all sense of that when we go into the mind.
11:36
Nicole Laino: Because the mind thinks, what if it's like this forever?
11:40
Nicole Laino: What if we never feel excited again?
11:41
Nicole Laino: That's what the mind does.
11:43
Nicole Laino: Those are beliefs.
11:44
Nicole Laino: That's the part of you that is scared that everything won't work out.
11:48
Nicole Laino: None of that is your truth.
11:50
Nicole Laino: None of that is your design.
11:52
Nicole Laino: So do you see how being able to guide somebody back to their process immediately creates some calm?
11:59
Nicole Laino: They start to feel it.
11:59
Nicole Laino: I watch it in people.
12:01
Nicole Laino: And there was a difference between when I coached without human design.
12:05
Nicole Laino: And I mean, it's a world of difference between when I coached before human design and coaching now with human design and having done that for several years now.
12:14
Nicole Laino: The difference is I used to give advice.
12:17
Nicole Laino: And when you give advice and you're just breaking down and having people reframe thoughts, that's helpful.
12:25
Nicole Laino: But what you find is they kind of always come back to those same thoughts.
12:28
Nicole Laino: They're coming back with the same problem over and over again because you're not helping them fix really why they are stuck because you can't see it.
12:38
Nicole Laino: You're looking at it from a mind level.
12:41
Nicole Laino: And we need to just take the mind out of it completely.
12:43
Nicole Laino: And human design is the only tool that I have found that actually does that.
12:48
Nicole Laino: Which is why it is so amazing to offer this during big life transitions because it gives people permission to Follow their process because there's part of them that's saying they shouldn't do it like that.
13:03
Nicole Laino: It shouldn't be that easy.
13:04
Nicole Laino: I shouldn't be having fun when there's so much to do, right?
13:09
Nicole Laino: A projector might say, I shouldn't rest when there's so much to do.
13:14
Nicole Laino: I shouldn't go have coffee with a friend when there's so much to do.
13:18
Nicole Laino: A manifester might be like, I shouldn't show up the way that I want to.
13:23
Nicole Laino: I shouldn't rest because there's so much to do.
13:27
Nicole Laino: Or I shouldn't be so pissed that I'm doing something, you know, I should want to be a part of this.
13:34
Nicole Laino: And they just don't.
13:35
Nicole Laino: They don't want to be.
13:36
Nicole Laino: They might feel guilty.
13:37
Nicole Laino: My advice to them might be, well, maybe you should hire someone to help you pack up.
13:42
Nicole Laino: Or if they are grieving, they may really need to either tap out.
13:48
Nicole Laino: They have to do whatever they want to do.
13:51
Nicole Laino: That's the funny thing about manifestors.
13:53
Nicole Laino: I'm never telling them what to do.
13:55
Nicole Laino: I have to be very careful about that.
13:56
Nicole Laino: You never tell a manifesto what to do.
13:58
Nicole Laino: The choice has to be theirs.
14:00
Nicole Laino: But you can ask great questions to help them arrive at the thing that makes them feel like they can follow what they truly know and to wait until they have that clarity.
14:12
Nicole Laino: I think in my coaching career previously, it was all about, well, how do I get them moving, how do I get them producing, how do I get them to be successful?
14:20
Nicole Laino: So it was very much that, go, go, how do we reframe this so you could still be productive?
14:26
Nicole Laino: I labeled myself a productivity coach in the beginning because that really was in my design.
14:32
Nicole Laino: I'm very much geared toward productivity.
14:35
Nicole Laino: My astrology and my human design point a lot in that direction.
14:39
Nicole Laino: But that's me.
14:41
Nicole Laino: That's not the people that I work with.
14:42
Nicole Laino: Not everybody is here to push for productivity at all costs.
14:46
Nicole Laino: And what I learned through human design is that pushing for productivity does not make some people productive.
14:52
Nicole Laino: It has a counter productive effect on them.
14:58
Nicole Laino: End on a relationship because they feel like you just pushed them and pushed them.
15:03
Nicole Laino: And either they feel like they let you down or they feel like they let themselves down and like something is wrong with them.
15:11
Nicole Laino: And the truth is that they are just different.
15:13
Nicole Laino: Nothing is wrong with them.
15:15
Nicole Laino: They are just different.
15:17
Nicole Laino: And we don't honor the difference in traditional forms of coaching.
15:22
Nicole Laino: We honor the output.
15:24
Nicole Laino: And with human design, it's process first.
15:27
Nicole Laino: Because if you can get somebody to trust their process, if you could get Somebody, you know, when I work with people for a year inside Business by design, they're transformed because they had a year if they were showing up and actually doing the work with me.
15:44
Nicole Laino: They have been coached consistently for a year, me guiding them back to their process whenever they lost their way.
15:51
Nicole Laino: I just saw somebody post about this, talking about the lack of integrity in the coaching industry.
15:57
Nicole Laino: And one of the things they were calling out was how they watched coaches and mentors intentionally confuse people so that they would stay with them and manipulating them, which I can't think of a worse thing to do.
16:11
Nicole Laino: I don't think that most people do that on purpose, but I do think that some coaches are not all that upset when people renew and renew because those people feel like they need them.
16:24
Nicole Laino: I am very excited when clients tell me that they are going to go off and do their own thing because they feel like they are prepared.
16:33
Nicole Laino: Now.
16:34
Nicole Laino: I'm also very excited when they say they're going to renew because they enjoy working with me and they know there's more work to do.
16:41
Nicole Laino: So they want to continue to grow.
16:44
Nicole Laino: That I love.
16:45
Nicole Laino: But that's a choice.
16:46
Nicole Laino: That's not them being like, oh, my God, what am I going to do without this?
16:50
Nicole Laino: I'm scared.
16:52
Nicole Laino: No.
16:52
Nicole Laino: I want them to fly and leave the nest.
16:54
Nicole Laino: And human design actually allows you to pass on a process to people that creates that ability.
17:00
Nicole Laino: If they're understanding of their process and they've got it in their body at that point and they know what to do.
17:07
Nicole Laino: You've given them the tools.
17:09
Nicole Laino: You've shown them how to use them.
17:10
Nicole Laino: You've shown them when to pull out which tool.
17:13
Nicole Laino: You've shown them how to see into their own process so they can start to coach themselves and guide themselves.
17:19
Nicole Laino: Because you brought them back into their body.
17:21
Nicole Laino: That's a gift of lifelong transformation, not only for them, but for the people around them.
17:29
Nicole Laino: It's an amazing gift.
17:32
Nicole Laino: So if you're interested in that, if you're interested in maybe taking the next step in your human design journey, and you really want to immerse yourself in it, the Integrated Human Design Guide certification is open right now.
