Transcript
- 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.
- 0:21Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everybody.
- 0:25Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and today it's just you and me.
- 0:29Nicole Laino: We're going to sit down and we're going to talk about one of my favorite aspects of human design.
- 0:34Nicole Laino: I think this is a real unsung hero, and it has so many applications and implications, whether you are in alignment with this aspect of your design or not.
- 0:45Nicole Laino: And I want to say it's one of the more advanced aspects simply because it really runs undercover.
- 0:52Nicole Laino: So you do have to kind of get yourself in alignment with the rest of your design a little bit before this one starts to really click into place in a meaningful way.
- 1:01Nicole Laino: You might find that you're fighting with it.
- 1:03Nicole Laino: But what I do believe is that from the very beginning, I wish I knew about them sooner.
- 1:08Nicole Laino: I wish that I knew about this aspect earlier in my human design journey, because, quite frankly, nobody was talking about it.
- 1:16Nicole Laino: And I still don't hear people talking about this enough, at least in my estimation, in reference and, you know, putting it next to how important this is and how impactful it is, I would think everybody would be talking about it.
- 1:29Nicole Laino: But I do also think that it's kind of elusive.
- 1:31Nicole Laino: It's not talked about in many of the certifications in depth enough, and I think it's a more difficult thing to explain to people.
- 1:40Nicole Laino: But I try to make things simple.
- 1:42Nicole Laino: So we're going to go into it a little bit here because I want to talk about lots of things which these episodes are the hardest for me to title.
- 1:51Nicole Laino: They're the hardest for me to, like, wrap my head around because I'm like, this is just something that I want to talk about, and.
- 1:56Nicole Laino: And I just need to go with it.
- 1:58Nicole Laino: So actually very at the heart of what we are talking about here, about following your design, about doing things the way you're meant to do them, not necessarily the way that appears to be correct.
- 2:10Nicole Laino: So the time I'm recording this, we're going into the lunar eclipse in Virgo, which, by the time you're listening to this will have already happened.
- 2:20Nicole Laino: But we're still going to feel the effects, and we're still going through this season because we are in Mercury retrograde.
- 2:25Nicole Laino: If you're listening to this.
- 2:26Nicole Laino: We're before March 20th of 2026, we will be in a Mercury retrograde which rules over Virgo.
- 2:34Nicole Laino: Mercury is the ruler of Virgo.
- 2:37Nicole Laino: So there's a lot that is going on right now and that need for things to be perfect.
- 2:43Nicole Laino: I think particularly we're all going through this.
- 2:45Nicole Laino: This eclipse is bringing up a lot of things for all of us.
- 2:48Nicole Laino: It's all the same theme.
- 2:49Nicole Laino: But for those of us, like myself, who have a lot of Virgo placements in prominent places in their chart, this is required curriculum for us.
- 2:59Nicole Laino: And what it's really asking all of us to do, but really asking me, and maybe you, if you have a Virgo rising or you're a Virgo moon, or you have Virgo in strong placements in your chart, your Virgo sun, like me.
- 3:11Nicole Laino: We are all being asked to let go a little bit.
- 3:14Nicole Laino: We are all being asked right now.
- 3:16Nicole Laino: And I think the astrology and the transits that we're going through this year have been, like, emotional thinking about them, because it really feels like they are preparing us for 2027.
- 3:30Nicole Laino: It really feels like we are going into this is like, a serious crash course of, like, the final year we're in, like, the residency, right, where we're gonna become a doctor.
- 3:42Nicole Laino: You know, it's like, okay, we're out of school, we're doing the thing, but we're still being supervised, and we're being put through our paces to make sure that when the time comes for us to be handling patients on our own, so to speak, that we're ready, that we're not going to go and screw something up so badly.
- 4:00Nicole Laino: Sorry.
- 4:00Nicole Laino: I've been watching a lot of that show the Pit, so I'm feeling very much in, like, medical residency.
- 4:05Nicole Laino: It's all making a lot of sense to me right now, this analogy.
- 4:08Nicole Laino: I hope it is for you, too.
- 4:10Nicole Laino: But what I want to talk about is that what we're being prepared for is to be more in alignment with our intuition, to be more in flow, to trust ourselves more.
- 4:21Nicole Laino: But we can't trust ourselves when we're thinking about everything.
- 4:23Nicole Laino: And we can't trust ourselves when we are constantly looking at the outside world for a reference point as to how we should act, what we should do, what is correct for us.
- 4:34Nicole Laino: We get tripped up.
- 4:36Nicole Laino: And when you get tripped up, it isn't about how many times you fall down, it's about how you get up.
- 4:40Nicole Laino: I trip up all the time.
- 4:42Nicole Laino: But because I understand this particular aspect of my design, I'm able to get up, course correct and shift into flow very quickly and easily now.
- 4:54Nicole Laino: And I have to tell you, I've been on both sides of this.
- 4:56Nicole Laino: I've been before the variables, which is what we're going to talk about.
- 5:00Nicole Laino: I had a life before I understood what the variables were, and I have a life after.
- 5:05Nicole Laino: And let me just tell you, it is a world of difference into how I operate and how I show up in the way that I understand myself and the way that I work with myself.
- 5:18Nicole Laino: So it makes me infinitely more productive.
- 5:20Nicole Laino: And I don't mean productive for the sake of getting more stuff done.
- 5:23Nicole Laino: I mean productive in a way of I'm able to just continue.
- 5:29Nicole Laino: And when I think back to, I was just talking with someone about this.
- 5:34Nicole Laino: I started out not, you know, just like Everybody else, at $0 a month, zero clients.
- 5:40Nicole Laino: And that was a slow climb up to where I am now.
- 5:44Nicole Laino: I'm very proud to say that at this point we have served thousands of people between all of our offers and ways that we work together.
- 5:51Nicole Laino: We've had hundreds of people go through Business by Design.
- 5:53Nicole Laino: My group coaching program where I'm working more closely with people, we are making multiple six figures now in this business, like a machine.
- 6:03Nicole Laino: And that all comes from tenacity.
- 6:06Nicole Laino: That all comes from my ability to stick with something, to stay at it, continue to grow and take lessons and really learn from them and really feel like the universe was working with me and for me, not against me.
- 6:21Nicole Laino: Human design, I think, is one of those life changing frameworks because it allows you to do that with such greater confidence.
- 6:28Nicole Laino: It really allows you to trust yourself.
- 6:31Nicole Laino: And when you trust yourself, then those times where you fall down, you're like, okay.
- 6:36Nicole Laino: But I know that I'm on the right track.
- 6:37Nicole Laino: I know, I know where I'm going because my inner compass, I know works.
- 6:42Nicole Laino: And when you start working with your variables and we'll get into some detail around it.
- 6:46Nicole Laino: I really want to talk specifically about creativity because if you're an entrepreneur, you are creative.
- 6:52Nicole Laino: You know, you may not be paintings or doing anything like that, you know, making music or things that we typically associate with being creative.
- 7:01Nicole Laino: But we are creating new things all the time for our businesses.
- 7:05Nicole Laino: We are showing up and we have to come up with new ideas, new offers, new ways to market them, new ways to talk to people about the things that we do, new ways to show up.
- 7:15Nicole Laino: We are always coming up with new stuff.
- 7:17Nicole Laino: That is creativity.
- 7:18Nicole Laino: We are asking new things to be bored.
- 7:21Nicole Laino: We are creating new shit all the time.
- 7:24Nicole Laino: And it can be exhausting and if you don't know how to tap your creativity, then that becomes incredibly draining, that becomes incredibly difficult.
- 7:33Nicole Laino: And it can really feel like you don't know if you're cut out for all of this, particularly in the beginning.
- 7:39Nicole Laino: So what I want to talk to you today about is the human design variables, which are the arrows on either side of the head center.
- 7:47Nicole Laino: When you run your human design chart, they represent different aspects of the way that you work.
- 7:53Nicole Laino: So in the last episode, I talked about the left and right configurations, that the left configuration is more masculine in nature.
- 8:01Nicole Laino: By masculine, I don't mean male.
- 8:03Nicole Laino: I mean, you know, when we talk about masculine energy, structured, strategic, linear, more in alignment with supporting that type of thing, taking care of survival, like going after stuff that is masculine energy.
- 8:18Nicole Laino: Feminine energy is the opposite.
- 8:20Nicole Laino: It's more passive, it is more receptive, it is more open, it is more intuitive and less strategic.
- 8:27Nicole Laino: So if you have more left arrows, you might be more strategic in nature.
- 8:32Nicole Laino: As far as the way that your circuitry of your design works, what we're really talking about with variables is how your brain and your body work together, how you relate in space and time.
- 8:45Nicole Laino: So how you are related to your environment, what type of environment nurtures you.
- 8:51Nicole Laino: I think about it as like the hidden wiring of your nervous system.
- 8:55Nicole Laino: So obviously we have real life triggers and traumas and things that trigger our nervous system that happen from the outside world.
- 9:03Nicole Laino: But we are also wired a specific way.
- 9:06Nicole Laino: And what the variables start to show us is it will show you what is the most hospitable way for you to operate, where your nervous system is at ease, where you are in a calm and relaxed state from the inside out, not just looking at it, where it's like, oh, I feel good right now.
- 9:27Nicole Laino: It's like you can feel it in your bones and your cells that there is a calm.
- 9:32Nicole Laino: Now, there would also be another layer to this.
- 9:35Nicole Laino: If you are familiar with Ra, who is the founder of human design, what he would have said is that your human design variables will put you in the right place in the right time.
- 9:43Nicole Laino: Your strategy and authority gives you the yeses and the no's and the ways to find your way in the outside world.
- 9:49Nicole Laino: But ultimately, there is this underlying architecture of your variables that will tell you the type of place that you should be in.
- 9:58Nicole Laino: So for instance, if you One piece of this is the environment arrow.
- 10:03Nicole Laino: Now, there are certain types of environments.
- 10:05Nicole Laino: You might have a shores environment.
- 10:08Nicole Laino: Ra famously talked about his shores environment and how when he went to go live in New Mexico, where There was no shore, there was no natural body of water for him to be near, that things started to fall apart in his life.
- 10:22Nicole Laino: Now, I don't know about things falling apart in your life or doomsdaying, you know, the choices that we make.
- 10:28Nicole Laino: But I do have a friend who's a shores environment and I remember she was going to move to Arizona.
- 10:34Nicole Laino: And I never give unsolicited advice.
- 10:37Nicole Laino: I'm never telling anybody.
- 10:39Nicole Laino: Your environment ensures you don't move.
- 10:41Nicole Laino: I ask people questions and then I see, obviously if I'm asked, I will offer.
- 10:46Nicole Laino: And I asked her, I'm like, are you excited about the move?
- 10:49Nicole Laino: And she lived in a coastal town.
- 10:51Nicole Laino: She lived in California, near the water.
- 10:53Nicole Laino: And that was her place.
- 10:56Nicole Laino: She was gonna leave it.
- 10:57Nicole Laino: And I asked her how she was feeling about it and she was like, you know, not really.
- 11:01Nicole Laino: I'm really not feeling good about it.
- 11:02Nicole Laino: And we broke it down and we talked a little bit about it and she was like, you know, but I want to do this, you know, I think that it'll be a good place for me.
- 11:09Nicole Laino: That was her mind.
- 11:10Nicole Laino: Her mind was saying, it makes sense.
- 11:13Nicole Laino: I have people there, I'll have opportunity there.
- 11:16Nicole Laino: There were all of these reasons, right?
- 11:17Nicole Laino: And I'm not going to go into the details of her life, but she had reasons that she was going there.
- 11:22Nicole Laino: But in her gut, her intuition was saying, do not leave here.
- 11:26Nicole Laino: This is where you belong.
- 11:28Nicole Laino: This is your place.
- 11:29Nicole Laino: Don't leave.
- 11:30Nicole Laino: And when she told me that, I'm like, can I offer something?
- 11:32Nicole Laino: And then I shared with her that she's a shores environment and if that place doesn't feel right to her, it very well may not be.
- 11:41Nicole Laino: And if where she is living on the coast feels right to her, she should trust that because this environment is probably the best environment for her nervous system right now.
- 11:53Nicole Laino: Why are we talking about nervous system when I'm talking about creativity?
- 11:56Nicole Laino: Well, because if you are in fight flight, you cannot be brilliant in that place.
- 12:02Nicole Laino: We are fighting ourselves when we are in fight flight.
- 12:06Nicole Laino: We are fighting ourselves when we are working against our variables.
- 12:11Nicole Laino: Now, I did a whole variables series a while back here on this show.
- 12:15Nicole Laino: You can go and listen to those episodes where I broke them all down, you know, went into pretty strong detail.
- 12:19Nicole Laino: And we actually have a variables guide.
- 12:21Nicole Laino: If you haven't already downloaded that, just DM me the word variables on instagram.
- 12:25Nicole Laino: I'm at nicolelainofficial.
- 12:27Nicole Laino: Or go to nicolelaino.com variables it's a free guide.
- 12:31Nicole Laino: You can download it there.
- 12:32Nicole Laino: So if you're interested in that, go to that.
- 12:33Nicole Laino: If you haven't already gotten that.
- 12:35Nicole Laino: It's a great guide.
- 12:36Nicole Laino: But you can break down the different arrows and you can say, okay, well, my perspective arrow is left.
- 12:43Nicole Laino: My environment is passive mountains.
- 12:48Nicole Laino: My mind operates in a strategic way.
- 12:50Nicole Laino: There's all of these things where you can get all the pieces right, but it's the way that they work together that determines how easily things come to you.
- 13:00Nicole Laino: I see clients all the time who are struggling, and they're struggling to make something happen, and they're struggling usually to be creative in some way.
- 13:09Nicole Laino: The ideas aren't coming.
- 13:10Nicole Laino: That is a creative process that you are a part of.
- 13:14Nicole Laino: If you have blank screen syndrome, where you sit down and you're like, I don't know what I'm going to say.
- 13:19Nicole Laino: That is all part of the variables that can all be tied to the approach that you have to your work versus the work itself.
- 13:29Nicole Laino: And that's where people get confused.
- 13:31Nicole Laino: They think that it's the work.
- 13:32Nicole Laino: They think, maybe I'm not cut out for this.
- 13:34Nicole Laino: And this is where I have people tell me I'm a generator.
- 13:36Nicole Laino: I was in response, but the ideas wouldn't come, and I just couldn't make it happen.
- 13:40Nicole Laino: And it just wasn't feeling good about it.
- 13:41Nicole Laino: Right.
- 13:42Nicole Laino: Or I'm a projector.
- 13:43Nicole Laino: I got these invitations, but I don't know, it just didn't feel like I couldn't make it happen.
- 13:47Nicole Laino: It didn't feel right.
- 13:48Nicole Laino: And when I look at their chart, I always go to the variables first.
- 13:53Nicole Laino: So why do I do that?
- 13:55Nicole Laino: Because they're making it harder on themselves.
- 13:57Nicole Laino: And I want to make sure that they're at least approaching this from a correct standpoint of the way that they're entering into things.
- 14:04Nicole Laino: Because the variables are a very difficult thing to see until you're already in it.
- 14:08Nicole Laino: It's sort of like you're in the quicksand.
- 14:09Nicole Laino: And you go, okay, I'm in quicksand.
- 14:11Nicole Laino: Because you look down and you realize that's where you are.
- 14:13Nicole Laino: It wasn't like, oh, I think there's quicksand up there.
- 14:16Nicole Laino: So I'm going to steer clear of it.
- 14:17Nicole Laino: That's where you're getting into.
- 14:18Nicole Laino: The more the advanced stuff, we end up falling in the pit, and it's just a matter of, do you know how to get out of it?
- 14:24Nicole Laino: I fall in the pit all the time, but I do know how to get out of the pit, and that's the beauty of this.
- 14:29Nicole Laino: And so it isn't just the isolated arrow and what it means, it isn't just the isolated variable and what it means, it's how they work together.
- 14:37Nicole Laino: So there are different configurations.
- 14:40Nicole Laino: You might have your top arrow on the left might be turned in right.
- 14:45Nicole Laino: Your top arrow on the right might be turned in left.
- 14:50Nicole Laino: That configuration of the top left arrow being turned to the right and the top right arrow being turned to the left, that particular configuration has a certain challenge to it.
- 15:02Nicole Laino: I don't like the term rules, but there are rules of thumb to go by which will help you understand, you know, when you get into a rut or you get caught in your variables, what it feels like.
- 15:15Nicole Laino: It's sort of like those Chinese handcuffs, the finger cuffs.
- 15:18Nicole Laino: You know, you just keep pulling and pulling and it makes it worse.
- 15:22Nicole Laino: That's what all of alignment teaches us, is that usually the harder we push and the more we force, the worse our situation becomes.
- 15:30Nicole Laino: And the variables are the same.
- 15:32Nicole Laino: So there are simple things.
- 15:33Nicole Laino: There are things like, I know that I'm a mountains environment person, and I'm a passive mountains.
- 15:38Nicole Laino: So I know that if I'm going to do deep work, I might go and rent a room on a high floor in a hotel, or I might actually go to the mountains.
- 15:49Nicole Laino: Maybe I do that.
- 15:51Nicole Laino: I go someplace where I have a great vantage point.
- 15:53Nicole Laino: I go someplace where I have a view.
- 15:54Nicole Laino: I go someplace where I can feel expansive in the way that I look at things and I can play with that.
- 16:01Nicole Laino: Now, do I engineer everything that way?
- 16:03Nicole Laino: No, sadly, I bought a house on flat land.
- 16:06Nicole Laino: It's a one story.
- 16:07Nicole Laino: That is what it is.
- 16:09Nicole Laino: My life didn't fall apart.
- 16:10Nicole Laino: That's what I mean.
- 16:10Nicole Laino: Like when Ross says, you know, your life will fall apart.
- 16:13Nicole Laino: No, I haven't found that my life has been perfectly fine since we've been here.
- 16:17Nicole Laino: But when I get stuck, or when I know I have to go deep with something, or when I know that I have a big project that I'm currently kind of trying to work through now I don't push anymore when I'm being creative.
- 16:30Nicole Laino: I've gotten really good, very proud of myself at the fact that I've grown so much that I don't push myself to be creative.
- 16:36Nicole Laino: Now I can play.
- 16:37Nicole Laino: And when I learned to play, I became more creative.
- 16:41Nicole Laino: And that's what being at ease and leading yourself does, because that's ultimately what we're talking about.
- 16:47Nicole Laino: It's not just about a technique or a framework for working with your variables.
- 16:53Nicole Laino: And your strategy and authority always matter.
- 16:55Nicole Laino: So when you are working with your human design type, like that is going to give you a certain level of insight and that's going to give you a lot of the mechanics of what to do.
- 17:05Nicole Laino: And it's going to give you that signature and not self theme where I know if I become frustrated that I need to take a pause.
- 17:12Nicole Laino: So that's giving me like real life kind of ways of relating to my situation and basically speaking to my intuition.
- 17:20Nicole Laino: My intuition is talking to me.
- 17:21Nicole Laino: Yours is too.
- 17:22Nicole Laino: It always is.
- 17:23Nicole Laino: We're just not listening and we don't yet speak the language of it.
- 17:27Nicole Laino: And as we start working with our human design more we start to speak the language of our nervous system, of our intuition, of our highest self.
- 17:35Nicole Laino: Is how I think about it, that it's trying to communicate with us.
- 17:39Nicole Laino: And it does it through all of these ways.
- 17:42Nicole Laino: And I've just found that there are certain pathways and certain aspects that I think it's loudest and I think it is the easiest to start to or the most productive way, the highest impact way of communicating with your intuition to have the greatest impact in your life.
- 17:59Nicole Laino: Right.
- 18:00Nicole Laino: So as you are starting to work with this, it's really about leading yourself.
- 18:04Nicole Laino: You know, when you fall in the pit or hitting challenge, you go to be creative and it's not working.
- 18:10Nicole Laino: In the past, may have looked to the outside world for that answer.
- 18:15Nicole Laino: Maybe you would have sat there and said, I've got to lock myself in this room until I get this thing done.
- 18:20Nicole Laino: Or you might have said, I got to go buy a course on how to be creative this way, how to write a book, how to do this.
- 18:27Nicole Laino: But the problem isn't that you don't know how to write the book.
- 18:29Nicole Laino: The problem is you haven't found the way to work with yourself.
- 18:33Nicole Laino: That creating something like a book or a podcast or you know, a body of work or a substack or whatever it is where you're looking to pour your creativity into it.
- 18:44Nicole Laino: You haven't found the way to structure yourself.
- 18:48Nicole Laino: And the way that you work, where that becomes an easy thing for you to do, where that becomes something that feels like flow and not like work.
- 18:57Nicole Laino: It is about leading yourself.
- 18:59Nicole Laino: You might have thought that you needed something in the outside world before.
- 19:03Nicole Laino: You might even still think that might still be where you're going.
- 19:07Nicole Laino: And look, I sell something that's part of the outside world, but you know, the courses and the programs and the things that I run and you know, the human design lab and all the things that we do in my world, but I pride myself on the fact that we're teaching you how to do this yourself.
- 19:21Nicole Laino: We're teaching you how to lead yourself.
- 19:25Nicole Laino: Right now.
- 19:25Nicole Laino: I don't think that it's optional.
- 19:27Nicole Laino: I think it is necessary.
- 19:28Nicole Laino: But what I was talking about the eclipses and what I was talking about, you know what I feel this is preparing us for this Virgo lunar eclipse has been preparing us.
- 19:40Nicole Laino: And all of this time with the north node in Pisces and the south node in Virgo that we have been going through.
- 19:46Nicole Laino: And we are in the end times of that, the end period of that.
- 19:50Nicole Laino: What it is teaching us to let go and it's teaching us to follow intuition over planning and strategy and linear thinking.
- 19:59Nicole Laino: We still get to be linear thinkers.
- 20:01Nicole Laino: We still get to have strategy, we still get to have a plan.
- 20:05Nicole Laino: But we will be so much more effective at this if we learn to trust ourselves on the inside.
- 20:11Nicole Laino: If we don't trust what we know and we trust what we feel and we can move on something other than pure logic.
- 20:17Nicole Laino: Because logic is going away in 2027.
- 20:20Nicole Laino: I'm not saying, of course we're still people that think logically, but themes were part of the 2027 masterclass that I taught.
- 20:27Nicole Laino: I went through how logic was played a very key role in the cross of planning phase that we have.
- 20:34Nicole Laino: The last 400 years that we have been under the cross of planning had a very strong.
- 20:40Nicole Laino: I went into detail there.
- 20:41Nicole Laino: But we also have this effect of the cross of the Maya that has been influencing us in the background for 400 years.
- 20:49Nicole Laino: And facts play a very strong role in that cross.
- 20:52Nicole Laino: That cross will be ending as far as being the background frequency for humanity on February 14th of 2027.
- 21:01Nicole Laino: Facts and logic don't really play a role in the new themes as a background frequency, as something that humanity will be valuing and following.
- 21:12Nicole Laino: It's going to be different stuff.
- 21:13Nicole Laino: It's going to be intuition, it is going to be emotional intelligence.
- 21:18Nicole Laino: It is going to be leading with spirit understanding that abundance is more than just money, that it is so many other things.
- 21:28Nicole Laino: There is so much that is changing.
- 21:30Nicole Laino: And I feel like we have been given.
- 21:33Nicole Laino: I think the universe has orchestrated this really amazing final course for us.
- 21:39Nicole Laino: And this eclipse portal of letting go of everything needing to be perfect, of everything needing to be linear, of everything needing to be structured and just so is teaching us and helping us to follow our flow, to trust ourselves, to move on trust, not uncertainty.
- 21:59Nicole Laino: Can we create certainty within ourselves so that trust becomes something that we are, something that we move with, not something that we look out and say, once that thing is proven, then I'll trust it.
- 22:11Nicole Laino: This is the new way.
- 22:13Nicole Laino: And the human design variables play a very key role in that because it can be very easy to see yourself trip up with the variables.
- 22:22Nicole Laino: Where the variables are the things that, like when you're not in alignment with them, you might find that you are fighting yourself a lot.
- 22:28Nicole Laino: Some people would draw a line between people being ADHD or neurodivergent and the variables.
- 22:36Nicole Laino: I have no way to prove that.
- 22:38Nicole Laino: But I do believe that there are similarities between the way that people work with ADHD and the way that I work with variables and the way that I help people with that.
- 22:50Nicole Laino: I think that there are some similarities between the challenges that people face.
- 22:54Nicole Laino: I have yet to find a correlation between like, oh, everybody who has that problem has this particular configuration in their adhd.
- 23:01Nicole Laino: I can't prove that and I have not had supporting evidence of that.
- 23:05Nicole Laino: But I think it's the same type of thing that we are talking about, that when you approach something like being neurodivergent ADHD or, you know, some other neurodivergence, you're saying my brain doesn't operate like normal brains.
- 23:18Nicole Laino: There's a difference.
- 23:20Nicole Laino: So I'm going to choose to learn new ways of doing this.
- 23:24Nicole Laino: That's what the variables teach us.
- 23:26Nicole Laino: But what happens is when you're out of alignment with your variables in your everyday life, what we have is we end up in trouble and then we look to fix it with yesterday's tools and that's not what's required.
- 23:38Nicole Laino: You have to look at it from a different lens.
- 23:40Nicole Laino: You know, you go to fix productivity with more time blocking on your calendar or some sort of productivity tool, you're going to download a new app or you think notion or something like that will fix it.
- 23:53Nicole Laino: That's not it at all.
- 23:55Nicole Laino: You have to learn to work with the way that your brain and your body function together.
- 24:01Nicole Laino: So I'm actually teaching a masterclass on this.
- 24:04Nicole Laino: We have the free guide DM Me Variables Icolenofficial.
- 24:08Nicole Laino: We'll get it to you there.
- 24:09Nicole Laino: We also have a masterclass that I am teaching.
- 24:11Nicole Laino: This is for members of the Human Design Authority lab, members of Align Brand Builder, our group coaching program, and then of course my Business by Design clients who are part of my signature program where they're working with me more closely.
- 24:24Nicole Laino: If you are part of any of those, you already get this.
- 24:26Nicole Laino: So you don't have to worry about it.
- 24:28Nicole Laino: If you are not a part of any of those, but you want to know how to work with your cognitive architecture, how your brain and body work together and get an exact plan for how your type, your specific configuration.
- 24:42Nicole Laino: Everybody will get one in this masterclass where I go through the specific configuration and tell you how you can work with that specific one.
- 24:50Nicole Laino: There's not going to be like a, oh well, you know, you have to put these things together yourself.
- 24:55Nicole Laino: No, I'm going to look at it and say, okay, there are 16 possible configuration.
- 24:59Nicole Laino: We are going to go through all 16 of those.
- 25:02Nicole Laino: So if you want to be a part of that masterclass, it's going to be really high value.

- 25:30Nicole Laino: Thank you so much for being here.
- 25:32Nicole Laino: I hope that you enjoyed this.
- 25:35Nicole Laino: I hope that this gave you a little bit of insight into how creativity and human design are connected, how being self led makes you more creative.
- 25:43Nicole Laino: Because you aren't trusting something in the outside world, you're trusting yourself, you're going with it.
- 25:48Nicole Laino: Because when we aren't trusting ourselves, we're so worried about making a mistake.
- 25:52Nicole Laino: And that is the enemy of creativity, worrying about making a mistake.
- 25:56Nicole Laino: Mistakes are what get us to the best ideas.
- 25:59Nicole Laino: Mistakes are what get us to the greatest pieces of art.
- 26:01Nicole Laino: We have to sit down and start creating and start somewhere.
- 26:04Nicole Laino: You have to dare to suck.
- 26:05Nicole Laino: You have to dare to just put something out there and see what's there before you start to peel away and shift, change it and try to make it into something different.
- 26:14Nicole Laino: And most of us don't even get started.
- 26:17Nicole Laino: So I hope that this opened you up to how this can really open up your creative process and how this can change the way that you work and the way that you are able to, you know, tackle a lot.
- 26:29Nicole Laino: I'm getting more done now than I ever have in my life and I have more space, which is really exciting.
- 26:37Nicole Laino: Those two things together, the fact that I am infinitely more productive, I'm able to sit down and in a session where I work and get what I need to done and if I don't, I have free time and I know how to switch it off.
- 26:52Nicole Laino: That is power.
- 26:54Nicole Laino: That is where you get to feel like you have a really good life.
- 26:57Nicole Laino: Okay?
- 26:58Nicole Laino: And that's what I want for you.
- 26:59Nicole Laino: So I hope you join us for the masterclass.
