0:02
Nicole Laino: Welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, the show dedicated to helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to flow without sacrificing results.
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.
0:25
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino and.
0:27
Nicole Laino: And we're coming to you with another episode in our type series.
0:32
Nicole Laino: I'm so excited to be doing this.
0:33
Nicole Laino: We started doing the type series because, like I've said before, we haven't done one and we've never really done a deep dive intentionally into all of the types.
0:44
Nicole Laino: While it's the most talked about piece of human design, probably you see the most things about generators and manifesting generators and, you know, all of the types.
0:53
Nicole Laino: I think people get bored with it and they move on to something else before they've really mastered it.
0:58
Nicole Laino: So I kind of welcomed the opportunity to bring everybody back to this really fundamental piece because you might intellectually understand that and you might even be listening to this or you might have seen that I'm doing a type series and like, I already know about type.
1:12
Nicole Laino: I wish you would do something more exciting like talk about the arrows or something.
1:16
Nicole Laino: I don't understand those yet.
1:18
Nicole Laino: And the truth is that if you don't understand your type, then those other things are probably not really sinking in either.
1:24
Nicole Laino: And you're giving your mind something cool to chomp on, but it's not really having an impact on your life the way that it's meant to.
1:32
Nicole Laino: Because I see most people, you know, they'll tell me, like, oh, yeah, I'm working with my human design for a couple of years now.
1:38
Nicole Laino: I'm living by it.
1:39
Nicole Laino: And then I see how they're living and talk to them for a bit and I'm like, you're really not following it though.
1:45
Nicole Laino: And that's why you're not seeing the results that you're looking for is because you have intellectual knowing, but you are an embodying.
1:52
Nicole Laino: Okay, so this series is really just designed to, like, let's bring us back to this fundamental piece of design and explore it again.
2:00
Nicole Laino: Let's kind of come into it with beginner's mind and come in here and hopefully, you know, I offer something a little bit different.
2:07
Nicole Laino: Like I said, we've never done one of these before, so hopefully this is different than other things you've heard about being a manifesting generator or any of the Other types that I'm giving you a different perspective.
2:18
Nicole Laino: That's a lot of times the feedback we get is that when I talk about something that other people have heard, they hear it differently.
2:25
Nicole Laino: So that's my hope, is that you hear this differently and this hits you and it gives you something to actually go out and implement.
2:32
Nicole Laino: Okay.
2:33
Nicole Laino: And if you are looking for more of this and you're looking for human design with your business and this interests you, we've created something cool.
2:41
Nicole Laino: I created a secret podcast.
2:43
Nicole Laino: So a separate podcast from this one that is just geared.
2:48
Nicole Laino: It is small, we're not adding episodes to it or anything.
2:50
Nicole Laino: It is basically like a bingeable thing for you.
2:53
Nicole Laino: If you are looking to build an aligned and profitable business with your human design, if you want the business strategy plus the human design aspects of growing an aligned and profitable business, that podcast will lay it all out for you.
3:06
Nicole Laino: All you have to do to get it DM me the word secret podcast on Instagram.
3:10
Nicole Laino: I'm @nicolelainofficial or go to nicolelaino.com forward slash secret podcast.
3:15
Nicole Laino: You can download it there.
3:16
Nicole Laino: We'll also link all of it up in the show notes for you.
3:18
Nicole Laino: Okay, so without further ado, let's talk about today's type.
3:23
Nicole Laino: We're going to dive into generators.
3:24
Nicole Laino: Okay.
3:25
Nicole Laino: We did manifestors, we did manifesting generators.
3:28
Nicole Laino: If you didn't listen to those, please go listen to them.
3:30
Nicole Laino: It's really helpful to hear what the other types are because it gives you a contrast to what you are.
3:36
Nicole Laino: So really helpful to understand all five types and you can see where you fit into the grander scheme of things.
3:42
Nicole Laino: So generators are most popular type.
3:45
Nicole Laino: They have a sacral defined.
3:47
Nicole Laino: Let's do the technicality.
3:48
Nicole Laino: So you know what makes a generator?
3:50
Nicole Laino: A generator is a generator because they have a sacral defined.
3:54
Nicole Laino: But unlike our manifesting generators, they have no motor to the throat.
3:58
Nicole Laino: Now, they might have a defined throat or an undefined throat that is up for grabs, but there won't be a motor directly or indirectly connecting the throat center to it.
4:08
Nicole Laino: So the emotional center, the solar plexus, the sacral, the ego or the root, those might be defined, but the channel doesn't connect to the throat indirectly or directly.
4:21
Nicole Laino: It's not in the same, you know, consistent circuit with them.
4:24
Nicole Laino: So what this does is this might mean that they are more comfortable.
4:28
Nicole Laino: The response is going to be really important for them because there isn't that manifesting energy.
4:34
Nicole Laino: That doesn't mean that they can't manifest.
4:36
Nicole Laino: In fact, they have a Huge part in the manifestation process.
4:39
Nicole Laino: They are the builders.
4:41
Nicole Laino: They are the creators.
4:42
Nicole Laino: They're the ones who do it all.
4:44
Nicole Laino: So are the manifesting generators.
4:45
Nicole Laino: You know, they're cousins, but generators have this warm, enveloping aura.
4:51
Nicole Laino: They're like these warm, bubbly, open, like big teddy bears.
4:56
Nicole Laino: Their energy pulls you in like a hug.
4:59
Nicole Laino: There's usually a great warm and fuzzy vibe to generators.
5:03
Nicole Laino: Now, it doesn't mean that all generators are warm and fuzzy.
5:06
Nicole Laino: It doesn't mean that everybody likes them.
5:08
Nicole Laino: However, they tend to be very likable.
5:12
Nicole Laino: People tend to be drawn to them just because they make people feel good.
5:17
Nicole Laino: When generators are in their element, when they are turned on, when they're lit up and happy, then they tend to make other people feel that too.
5:26
Nicole Laino: It's a good time.
5:27
Nicole Laino: When you're at a party and there's generators who are having fun, it tends to draw people in.
5:33
Nicole Laino: Here's the funny thing about generators.
5:35
Nicole Laino: A lot of generators that I work with, they make it a lot harder on themselves because.
5:41
Nicole Laino: And I think this is one of the things that's cool about design, is that it can show you what your gifts are, and it can show you that they are gifts because so many of us are taking them for granted.
5:49
Nicole Laino: I've had a lot of people come to me, and I did this too.
5:53
Nicole Laino: You know, when you find out you're a generator or a manifesting generator, and they lump you into that category, and they said that 70% of the world are these two.
6:01
Nicole Laino: So you suddenly feel way less special than anybody else because you're like, oh, I'm kind of like everybody else.
6:08
Nicole Laino: Okay.
6:09
Nicole Laino: The world is built for us.
6:11
Nicole Laino: The system is kind of built in a lot of ways for us.
6:15
Nicole Laino: We could do a lot, and certainly in America, doing a lot is prized and valued.
6:22
Nicole Laino: But what we have to do is we do have to focus on what our actual gifts are.
6:27
Nicole Laino: And the generators, after, they feel disappointed that's what they are, which happens a lot.
6:32
Nicole Laino: I' saying you did, but I do.
6:34
Nicole Laino: I was like, oh, I wanted to be like a projector and be a guide and be told to nap all day.
6:39
Nicole Laino: And that was my magic.
6:40
Nicole Laino: But no, apparently I have to work really hard for what I do.
6:44
Nicole Laino: But that is who I am.
6:45
Nicole Laino: And so we have to accept these things.
6:47
Nicole Laino: And manifesting generators and generators are different.
6:50
Nicole Laino: Not 70% of the world.
6:52
Nicole Laino: The 70% of the world is sacral, but we each have our own little camps.
6:56
Nicole Laino: 35% ish are generators.
6:59
Nicole Laino: So there you go.
7:00
Nicole Laino: 37% or something like that.
7:01
Nicole Laino: Slightly more generators Than there are manifesting generators.
7:04
Nicole Laino: But they can really discount generators after the disappointment fades, then they can just really discount that their gift is a gift, which is being warm, bubbly, and having energy that pulls you in, like a hug.
7:16
Nicole Laino: It doesn't seem like much of a gift that people like you and that when you are excited, other people get excited too, and people are naturally drawn to them.
7:25
Nicole Laino: When they're lit up again, people be like, oh, okay, I thought there'd be something more like a process here.
7:31
Nicole Laino: The other thing, generators love a process.
7:33
Nicole Laino: They love a good process.
7:34
Nicole Laino: Give a generator some steps.
7:36
Nicole Laino: You'll notice that a lot of the programs that are built, if you've bought coaching programs from people or courses that have really methodical, step by step, just do these things, follow it to a t, get it done, and you'll get the result.
7:50
Nicole Laino: Like that kind of thing.
7:51
Nicole Laino: And it involves a lot of work.
7:53
Nicole Laino: A generator usually made that.
7:55
Nicole Laino: Not a manifesting generator, a generator.
7:58
Nicole Laino: A manifesting generator will tell you can actually do this a million different ways, which can screw generators up because they really need the steps and they can get really disoriented when they don't have them.
8:09
Nicole Laino: So I'm always bringing my generators back.
8:11
Nicole Laino: Here's what I want you to focus on.
8:12
Nicole Laino: Here's where I think you need to focus.
8:16
Nicole Laino: Just keep your eye on the prize.
8:18
Nicole Laino: So they love a good process, and they would really love to be told something other than, you know, just do what you love.
8:24
Nicole Laino: Because they think they're doing that already, and they don't trust that can really be all, because it feels too simple.
8:32
Nicole Laino: So kind of a way that I look at this, there are a few influencers who I know who are generators.
8:39
Nicole Laino: And I think this is a perfect example of not making it more complicated than it has to be.
8:44
Nicole Laino: Their whole brand is just sort of built around them having fun, them sharing their lives, them being warm and fuzzy, and people wanting to be around them.
8:55
Nicole Laino: So they have events and they do these things where people just get to be near them, and that's where they make their money.
9:01
Nicole Laino: And I know that doesn't sound necessarily fulfilling for every single person, but I want to point it out, because it can be that simple if you allow it to be.
9:09
Nicole Laino: And you have to find the thing that lights you up.
9:11
Nicole Laino: You might not want to be around people all the time, all that often.
9:15
Nicole Laino: But I will say generators need people.
9:17
Nicole Laino: Generators need people probably, you know, more than I want to say, more than any of the other types.
9:23
Nicole Laino: When generators live in a place where they're by themselves or they're not really interacting much with people, then there's no response.
9:32
Nicole Laino: And I'll find a lot of times generators that are sitting around waiting for something to initiate on and they think that they're waiting for response, but there's nothing to respond to.
9:41
Nicole Laino: They're not doing anything.
9:42
Nicole Laino: And while yes, you can respond to things by like scrolling on your phone, it's not really what I recommend.
9:48
Nicole Laino: I recommend life.
9:49
Nicole Laino: This is what makes generators.
9:51
Nicole Laino: They're usually incredible team players.
9:53
Nicole Laino: They're highly collaborative people.
9:56
Nicole Laino: So I always find that generators, you know, I think that there's always a challenge with a type.
10:00
Nicole Laino: There's always a sweet spot of finding ways to work with your energy and not falling in the traps.
10:07
Nicole Laino: Right.
10:08
Nicole Laino: So the biggest problem with generators is they're meant to be present.
10:13
Nicole Laino: They're meant to be in the moment people.
10:15
Nicole Laino: So if there's too much to respond to, they can really be easily distracted.
10:19
Nicole Laino: And that's usually coming from.
10:20
Nicole Laino: Because they're not exactly where they're meant to be.
10:22
Nicole Laino: They're not really turned on by the place or sacral is just bouncing from one thing to the next.
10:29
Nicole Laino: So they have to learn how to be present with where their energy really wants to go or noticing or am I just uncomfortable?
10:39
Nicole Laino: Am I just.
10:40
Nicole Laino: They may be looking for something to respond to so much like being on their phone all the time or doing a couple of things at once or you know, have the TV on while they're doing something else, you know, and that distraction, it's like it keeps them excited and kind of keeps them.
10:57
Nicole Laino: Cause they're bouncing from one thing to the next, but it makes them really unfocused.
11:01
Nicole Laino: And they have a tremendous ability to focus when the work lights them up.
11:06
Nicole Laino: So it really has to be like to notice what am I doing that I love versus just what's around me.
11:13
Nicole Laino: And that's kind of a weird needle to thread a balance that we need to create.
11:17
Nicole Laino: So a lot of times what I find what screws generators up and where we try to guide them away from is like the manifesting generators.
11:25
Nicole Laino: They haven't really activated their energy.
11:27
Nicole Laino: So they're initiating.
11:28
Nicole Laino: They're sitting home at a desk wondering what they're going to do next.
11:33
Nicole Laino: And that's not their strategy.
11:35
Nicole Laino: Their strategy is to respond.
11:36
Nicole Laino: So when it doesn't work and they either initiate on something and fizzle out real quickly, what am I going to post?
11:42
Nicole Laino: So content by design, our content program DM me content if you want to get that.
11:47
Nicole Laino: We go into all of this, it's really about the alignment and content, not necessarily everything that you're saying, but getting into an energetic groove and flow with your content.
11:57
Nicole Laino: A lot of times generators are not sharing what they care about.
12:00
Nicole Laino: They're trying to get it right.
12:01
Nicole Laino: The minute you try to get it right, you get nothing.
12:05
Nicole Laino: And you're sitting on your impulses in the moment.
12:08
Nicole Laino: People, generators have to say, like, I got a response to this, I'm going to go do it.
12:12
Nicole Laino: I got a response to it.
12:14
Nicole Laino: Now I'm going to ride that energetic wave toward that thing.
12:18
Nicole Laino: So when they're trying to initiate and they're trying to think up the perfect post or the perfect thing and it doesn't work, they feel like a failure.
12:25
Nicole Laino: And then they get disoriented and then they start wondering.
12:28
Nicole Laino: And again, when they're in that place, they're in all of their conditioning, they're in their mind, they're in their undefined ego, making them feel like they're not enough.
12:36
Nicole Laino: All of that conditioning starts to take over.
12:39
Nicole Laino: Now they're paying attention to that, and they're not paying attention to their sacral.
12:43
Nicole Laino: Sacral is the thing that will get them out of it.
12:45
Nicole Laino: So I always say to my generators, I'm like, you know, you gotta trust.
12:47
Nicole Laino: If one client, she keeps coming back to this one topic, it's kind of all she can talk about.
12:52
Nicole Laino: She just keeps getting brought back there, and she just keeps saying no to actually taking action on it.
12:59
Nicole Laino: And I see her light up and I see her get excited when she talks about it.
13:03
Nicole Laino: And it's a thought and a belief that she has about whether she should really be talking about this or not that is stopping her from doing it, not because she doesn't want to.
13:11
Nicole Laino: This is why generators are stuck.
13:13
Nicole Laino: You're thinking it through rather than following your strategy.
13:17
Nicole Laino: You don't question response, you go with it.
13:19
Nicole Laino: And most are questioning it.
13:21
Nicole Laino: They're thinking about something and they're trying to initiate on something, and they're ignoring what's actually in front of them to respond to.
13:28
Nicole Laino: This is why generators, if you're in the future and you're worrying about where things are going, or you're worrying about things that happened in the past and whether they're going to happen again and all of that, you're not in the moment.
13:40
Nicole Laino: They're distracting you from what's here.
13:42
Nicole Laino: They're distracting you from having a good time.
13:45
Nicole Laino: You're not magnetic in that place.
13:46
Nicole Laino: They're distracting you from what your sacral is saying yes to your motor's turning on and you're ignoring it in favor of worrying or thinking through or trying to strategize this whole big plan.
13:58
Nicole Laino: Generators.
13:59
Nicole Laino: We never know what step 10 will be.
14:01
Nicole Laino: We only know what's in front of us.
14:02
Nicole Laino: And if we want to take the step or if we don't want to take the step, that's all you can answer.
14:07
Nicole Laino: And if you start to master that, taking the one step.
14:11
Nicole Laino: When they say action leads to clarity, that's a generator thing.
14:14
Nicole Laino: I'm not saying that it doesn't have validity for the other types, but it's the most valid for generators.
14:20
Nicole Laino: Because if you don't take action, you're just wondering and you're thinking into the future, will that be the thing for me?
14:26
Nicole Laino: I don't know.
14:26
Nicole Laino: Let me play this out.
14:27
Nicole Laino: And you miss the moment.
14:28
Nicole Laino: And now you wonder why you feel like you're not getting anything to respond to.
14:32
Nicole Laino: You are.
14:33
Nicole Laino: You're just not paying attention to it.
14:34
Nicole Laino: You're not honoring it.
14:35
Nicole Laino: You're not honoring the response.
14:37
Nicole Laino: So you're not getting the benefit of human design.
14:40
Nicole Laino: And then you go read another book or you pick up another, like, Instagram carousel and scroll through it and save it to a collection or something for later.
14:48
Nicole Laino: That's all a distraction right now.
14:50
Nicole Laino: What are you excited about?
14:52
Nicole Laino: What do you want to say?
14:53
Nicole Laino: I did that this morning.
14:54
Nicole Laino: I was like.
14:54
Nicole Laino: I want to say that.
14:55
Nicole Laino: I was like, oh, I don't know if I should.
14:56
Nicole Laino: Kind of saucy.
14:57
Nicole Laino: And I'm going to do it.
14:58
Nicole Laino: I had to recognize.
14:59
Nicole Laino: I'm like, this is a real sacral.
15:02
Nicole Laino: Yes.
15:02
Nicole Laino: So I need to pay attention to that because that's what I'm being given.
15:06
Nicole Laino: And this is where we have to do those things.
15:08
Nicole Laino: Just because it's in alignment for us doesn't mean we'll get the result that we want.
15:13
Nicole Laino: But we will get the lesson or the result that we need.
15:15
Nicole Laino: Okay.
