Transcript
- 0:02Nicole 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.
- 0:11Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
- 0:17Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:22Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everybody.
- 0:26Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and I want to talk about evolution today.
- 0:31Nicole Laino: Personal evolution and business evolution.
- 0:35Nicole Laino: This all came from me thinking about this from my own business, just sort of witnessing what's happening with our clients and with just people that I know within the industry and.
- 0:46Nicole Laino: And in my life.
- 0:47Nicole Laino: And I feel like I also think about the 2027 change that is coming.
- 0:52Nicole Laino: We're very close to it now.
- 0:54Nicole Laino: You know, we are evolving as humans.
- 0:57Nicole Laino: We are evolving as business owners.
- 1:00Nicole Laino: And I see the mental process when I say I see this with people, I see these things in myself as well.
- 1:05Nicole Laino: So I'm always speaking from my own personal experience with this stuff too.
- 1:11Nicole Laino: And what I see is there can be this feeling of things need to stay the same.
- 1:18Nicole Laino: I've seen this with a few clients where they haven't felt as connected to their message in a while.
- 1:25Nicole Laino: And there's a fear of, well, if I shift things and this is working, what if the next thing I doesn't work?
- 1:34Nicole Laino: And I understand that fear.
- 1:36Nicole Laino: I do get it.
- 1:37Nicole Laino: But this idea that we will never change, that our message will never change, that our offer will never evolve, that we will never evolve is crazy.
- 1:49Nicole Laino: It's wrong.
- 1:50Nicole Laino: And, and.
- 1:51Nicole Laino: And the reason that I. I'm saying that it's wrong is that it boxes us in.
- 1:55Nicole Laino: It gets us afraid of what's next.
- 1:58Nicole Laino: And what I think is, you know, a lot of people, they'll resist the change or the other.
- 2:04Nicole Laino: The opposite side of it is that some people will feel that everything needs to change.
- 2:09Nicole Laino: I feel like I'm evolving.
- 2:10Nicole Laino: I feel like things are changing now.
- 2:13Nicole Laino: I need to wipe the slate totally clean.
- 2:15Nicole Laino: I have to start from scratch and build everything from the ground up all over again, like, nothing fits anymore.
- 2:23Nicole Laino: And that's not the case either.
- 2:24Nicole Laino: Most of the time.
- 2:25Nicole Laino: We don't need to take a sledgehammer to our life to evolve.
- 2:29Nicole Laino: It doesn't mean that everything has to go.
- 2:32Nicole Laino: I'm not saying that if things have fallen apart and you feel like I've been talking to a lot of people recently where, you know, what they were doing before isn't working anymore, and now they don't know what to do what is next for them.
- 2:46Nicole Laino: And I understand this feeling because those people are going into like, well, what do I do?
- 2:50Nicole Laino: What do I do?
- 2:51Nicole Laino: What do I do?
- 2:52Nicole Laino: And I feel like this is almost that argument between, you know, uber masculine, where we go into massive action mode, trying to figure everything out.
- 3:02Nicole Laino: What do I do?
- 3:03Nicole Laino: Trying a million different things, really scattering our energy a lot of places.
- 3:08Nicole Laino: Or we go to the ultra feminine, which is to do nothing and sometimes shut down, to hide from that action.
- 3:17Nicole Laino: But evolution, in my experience, requires some balance of these two principles.
- 3:24Nicole Laino: We have to honor the time and space that evolution requires.
- 3:30Nicole Laino: And human design can give us a little bit of a window into what that looks like for us.
- 3:36Nicole Laino: How do we create space?
- 3:38Nicole Laino: It tells us a little bit about our own personal process through our design, like as a manifesting generator.
- 3:44Nicole Laino: Something that I know is that manifesting generators go through periods of great growth and then they go through plateaus.
- 3:53Nicole Laino: They're like these personal peaks and then leveling off.
- 3:58Nicole Laino: And you have to allow.
- 4:00Nicole Laino: I know that I have to allow that leveling off.
- 4:03Nicole Laino: I have to allow for that plateau in order to understand what the next growth phase will look like.
- 4:11Nicole Laino: Manifestors, they have to honor their rest cycle or they're not going to get the next download because there isn't space for it.
- 4:19Nicole Laino: Projectors are always creating space.
- 4:22Nicole Laino: You are always in a game of creating enough space for things to flow in to you.
- 4:30Nicole Laino: Reflectors, I mean, you're on your own timeline, you're on your own kind of little planet making space and being open to the world around you.
- 4:43Nicole Laino: Generators, you're going to be looking for those next responses.
- 4:47Nicole Laino: But the moments in between are what create those responses.
- 4:52Nicole Laino: It can give us that nuance to let us know what we should trust, Help us trust ourselves in these transitional periods.
- 5:01Nicole Laino: Because they can be scary.
- 5:02Nicole Laino: Change is scary, and sitting and doing nothing is scary.
- 5:07Nicole Laino: So sometimes we sit in these.
- 5:08Nicole Laino: These two places where we resist the change, or we feel like everything needs to change.
- 5:14Nicole Laino: And the reason for that is because sitting in the unknown can be so uncomfortable.
- 5:20Nicole Laino: I don't know what's coming.
- 5:22Nicole Laino: I feel like I need to do something so I can control the outcome of what comes next.
- 5:28Nicole Laino: And don't get me wrong, you can succeed doing that.
- 5:32Nicole Laino: I just don't know how happy a lot of people end up when you do that for too long and too often, eventually the change that is meant to come to you will find its way.
- 5:43Nicole Laino: You can't outrun it.
- 5:45Nicole Laino: You have to create space for it eventually.
- 5:48Nicole Laino: Or it's been my experience that the universe creates it for you.
- 5:51Nicole Laino: Something falls apart, something that you have been ignoring, that needed to change, starts to not work anymore.
- 5:59Nicole Laino: And then we're left with like, okay, well, now what do I do?
- 6:02Nicole Laino: The universe took it away.
- 6:03Nicole Laino: Now I don't have the choice.
- 6:05Nicole Laino: But I think what we have to do is we have to shift our idea and our mindset around what the unknown is.
- 6:14Nicole Laino: The unknown, I understand is scary because we want to know because knowing makes our brains feel safe.
- 6:21Nicole Laino: NLP teaches us that your brain will constantly be trying to.
- 6:26Nicole Laino: And, you know, when we work with clients, give them a roadmap.
- 6:29Nicole Laino: Because if they are afraid of what they will do next or where they come to next, or how this will all play out, it doesn't mean that they're necessarily scared all the time.
- 6:40Nicole Laino: But their mind is trying to work that out.
- 6:42Nicole Laino: And if it's trying to work that out, it's not focusing on other things that would be more productive and healthy for it.
- 6:48Nicole Laino: It's the same reason.
- 6:49Nicole Laino: Like when I get onto a call with people, I tell them, so this is how it's going to go.
- 6:53Nicole Laino: We're going to talk about this.
- 6:54Nicole Laino: I'm going to ask you a few questions and then we'll do questions at the end.
- 6:56Nicole Laino: Is that okay?
- 6:57Nicole Laino: When I start my readings like that?
- 6:59Nicole Laino: Here's how it's going to go.
- 7:01Nicole Laino: Here's what you're going to get after the reading.
- 7:02Nicole Laino: Here's what's going to happen during it.
- 7:04Nicole Laino: Here's how you can ask questions throughout.
- 7:06Nicole Laino: But I'm going to leave a couple of minutes at the end so that you have time to ask those questions so that you can absorb it all and then ask some at the end.
- 7:14Nicole Laino: But you can also interrupt me throughout the reading if you need to.
- 7:18Nicole Laino: That letting them know where things are going to go and how things are going to go gets them leaning back and sitting back and relaxing versus wondering, is this going to come up?
- 7:28Nicole Laino: Are we going to talk about this?
- 7:29Nicole Laino: Are we going to do this?
- 7:30Nicole Laino: Can I ask questions?
- 7:31Nicole Laino: I don't want your mind elsewhere.
- 7:33Nicole Laino: So the mind always wants to figure it out because the mind's job is to keep you safe.
- 7:37Nicole Laino: So it's always trying to figure out what's coming next and how do we make the future more favorable for us so that we stay safe.
- 7:47Nicole Laino: But what we have to do is we have to shift that perspective on the unknown.
- 7:53Nicole Laino: It doesn't have to be scary.
- 7:55Nicole Laino: The magic happens in the unknown.
- 7:58Nicole Laino: Because everything else is everything we've always gotten.
- 8:00Nicole Laino: Now I get it.
- 8:01Nicole Laino: If everything has been going really well and now you're feeling a shift and you're feeling like things are changing or they need to change or something's not working the way that it used to, it can be scary because it's like, oh, no, I was just getting comfortable just means that you are ready for your next level.
- 8:17Nicole Laino: And if you're listening to the show and you're a human design enthusiast or you're an expert or you're an entrepreneur who's looking to feel more connected in their work, I get it.
- 8:27Nicole Laino: You know, you're on an evolutionary journey.
- 8:30Nicole Laino: If you were satisfied with the same thing day in and day out, you would just go get a job.
- 8:35Nicole Laino: You would just go do what everybody else is doing, but you're not.
- 8:38Nicole Laino: You chose this.
- 8:40Nicole Laino: You chose the unknown, and that's awesome.
- 8:43Nicole Laino: But now you have to keep choosing it.
- 8:45Nicole Laino: You have to keep choosing the magic versus the scary mystery.
- 8:49Nicole Laino: You have to keep choosing yourself in that moment.
- 8:53Nicole Laino: And this is why evolution requires this kind of balance of space and action, of masculine and feminine.
- 9:03Nicole Laino: These principles, they need to be balanced, or we end up in a hyperactive state of one or the other hyperaction, where we're just scattering that energy like I spoke about before, or we are retreating and resisting and fearful of taking action, of really going out and doing anything.
- 9:22Nicole Laino: But what I found is that the more curious we become about ourselves, the more aware we become of what is happening in the moment.
- 9:31Nicole Laino: The truth, I am uncomfortable.
- 9:33Nicole Laino: I'm scared.
- 9:34Nicole Laino: This is the work that I do with efts.
- 9:37Nicole Laino: So much of it is honoring where you are right now and coming to terms with that, clearing the energy around the emotion so that it can just be pure.
- 9:50Nicole Laino: And you're not led by that emotion, and it's not driving you.
- 9:53Nicole Laino: And there isn't fear bubbling under the surface.
- 9:57Nicole Laino: Because when we have fear bubbling under the surface, we start to get more of the things that were scared of happening.
- 10:03Nicole Laino: They start to show up for us because we're operating in that field versus the field of possibility.
- 10:10Nicole Laino: Your evolution can be anything that you want it to be.
- 10:13Nicole Laino: This is what the embodiment journey is about.
- 10:16Nicole Laino: Embodying possibility, embodying your gifts and your way so that you are guided on your own path.
- 10:25Nicole Laino: You're not looking to the outside world, wondering, you know, should it be like that?
- 10:30Nicole Laino: Should it look like that?
- 10:31Nicole Laino: Should I do what she did?
- 10:32Nicole Laino: That can all be data.
- 10:33Nicole Laino: That can all be really exciting, interesting things for you to chew on.
- 10:37Nicole Laino: But I know when I get ideas about Something, you know, as an emotional authority, I have to wait so I might hear something that sounds really good.
- 10:47Nicole Laino: But my process is to hang out with that for a while and then see do I get something to respond to later on that drives me to take an aligned action versus me.
- 10:57Nicole Laino: Just saying something's gotta change.
- 10:59Nicole Laino: I heard about this idea shift.
- 11:00Nicole Laino: She said it worked for her.
- 11:01Nicole Laino: I'm gonna go do that thing that is probably going to get you.
- 11:05Nicole Laino: It's like a one way ticket to burnout town.
- 11:07Nicole Laino: And usually the results are not anywhere near what we wanna make them.
- 11:11Nicole Laino: It's not calculated enough, it's not inspired enough.
- 11:14Nicole Laino: To tell you the truth, it's coming from a place of lack.
- 11:17Nicole Laino: I'm scared that what I'm doing now won't work.
- 11:20Nicole Laino: So I'm gonna change to doing the thing that person said worked.
- 11:23Nicole Laino: And I'm gonna do that thing and I'm gonna do it quickly because I'm so afraid.
- 11:28Nicole Laino: When you're in that energy of fear, we get more of what we don't want.
- 11:32Nicole Laino: If you're in the energy of lack, you will start to see lack all around you.
- 11:36Nicole Laino: You will start to feel that, you will start to experience that.
- 11:40Nicole Laino: This is why embodiment is more than understanding.
- 11:44Nicole Laino: Embodiment is being able to have presence enough to know what you are feeling, to know what your energy is aligned with.
- 11:52Nicole Laino: Have the tools to work through that.
- 11:54Nicole Laino: Ask yourself, am I clear energetically here?
- 11:58Nicole Laino: This is why all of our clients in business by design get my deconditioning library.
- 12:01Nicole Laino: If you are in a state, recognize that state, move the energy around that and then see what action feels aligned after that.
- 12:12Nicole Laino: Align with your possibility.
- 12:14Nicole Laino: Now you'll notice that there's a shift in you when you align with possibility.
- 12:19Nicole Laino: When you can really.
- 12:20Nicole Laino: I don't want to use the word attach because I don't like the word attachment when it comes to results, but can you connect with a vision?
- 12:28Nicole Laino: It's very difficult to connect with a vision of something positive when you are in a negative state.
- 12:35Nicole Laino: This is a great test for you.
- 12:38Nicole Laino: So can you visualize something really good happening and have that vision and hold it and really feel like it's possible?
- 12:46Nicole Laino: If there's even a part of you that can't see it can't really connect to it, can't really.
- 12:51Nicole Laino: It's just not coming through.
- 12:52Nicole Laino: It doesn't really feel real to you or more.
- 12:55Nicole Laino: Fear gets stirred up when you try to envision something big.
- 13:00Nicole Laino: So if you try to envision, you know, your $500,000 year and you're creating this vision around it.
- 13:06Nicole Laino: You're creating what it could look like.
- 13:08Nicole Laino: And you're, you're really playing in the what ifs, the best thing could happen kind of realm.
- 13:14Nicole Laino: I'm playing the what if awesome game instead of the what if doom game.
- 13:18Nicole Laino: Right.
- 13:19Nicole Laino: So you're playing it, you're doing it, you're really able to do that.
- 13:22Nicole Laino: Then you'll notice that the action that you have to take will just start to appear.
- 13:28Nicole Laino: That possibility you connected to will start to make the next steps a lot clearer for you.
- 13:34Nicole Laino: But what happens is when we, you know, you're trying to envision that $500,000 a year, but deep inside the fear is stirring because there's a bill that, you know it's bigger than you thought it would be and more money is going out than is coming in.
- 13:50Nicole Laino: And oh my God, oh my God.
- 13:51Nicole Laino: If that's where your energy is, you have to deal with that because you're embodying your fear.
- 13:56Nicole Laino: You're not embodying your future.
- 13:59Nicole Laino: And by embodying your fear, you're going to make decisions in alignment with that fear and it will affect your results.
- 14:08Nicole Laino: This is what real feminine energy is about.
- 14:11Nicole Laino: It's about recognizing that when you embody possibility, if you can truly energetically connect with it, you can create it.
- 14:20Nicole Laino: Those questions about what am I going to do?
- 14:23Nicole Laino: They start to go away.
- 14:24Nicole Laino: I'm not saying instantly.
- 14:26Nicole Laino: And this is the thing, the part of you that wants instant results and instant action and instant answers is a less evolved version of you than your highest self.
- 14:37Nicole Laino: Your highest self is not anxious.
- 14:40Nicole Laino: She's not scared.
- 14:42Nicole Laino: She knows that what she embodies and is energetically a match for, she will get.
- 14:50Nicole Laino: So your first job has to become the energetic match for what you want and recognize how you might be already an energetic match for what you do not want.
- 14:59Nicole Laino: And we're all going to have times where this is going to be.
- 15:01Nicole Laino: There's going to be some times where this work feels so easy.
- 15:04Nicole Laino: This work feels so like.
- 15:05Nicole Laino: It's like this is who I am.
- 15:07Nicole Laino: I embody this higher level version of myself.
- 15:09Nicole Laino: I embody all of this stuff.
- 15:10Nicole Laino: It's all working.
- 15:12Nicole Laino: And then there are going to be periods where this is more challenging for you than before.
- 15:17Nicole Laino: This is why there is no one tool for entrepreneurship.
- 15:21Nicole Laino: There is no one thing that you need to learn.
- 15:24Nicole Laino: You when have to become the next level version of yourself, the greater results and opportunity you want to bring in, you have to raise yourself to the level of those results and those opportunities.
- 15:39Nicole Laino: When we talk about being the version of yourself who has those things already, that's about.
- 15:45Nicole Laino: That is about adjusting, regulating and expanding your nervous system to handle what's happening in the here and now and still believe to this to a cellular level that everything you want is coming to you.
- 16:02Nicole Laino: This is what it means to be unshakable.
- 16:04Nicole Laino: It's what I named the show for a reason.
- 16:06Nicole Laino: Because this work makes you unshakable.
- 16:10Nicole Laino: Even in periods where it's extremely difficult, you can find yourself, you can find your way back to that centered place where anything can happen, where you get to choose what life looks like and really feel it and start to see things turn around.
- 16:28Nicole Laino: I want to call out that we have these beautiful one one private retreats with me here in Austin.
