How Human Design Changed My Life
This is the story of how Human Design helped me find my way home to myself — after burnout, heartbreak, and a lifetime of trying to be someone I wasn’t. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re “too sensitive” or just out of place, this one’s for you.
HUMAN DESIGN HELPED ME FIND MYSELF AGAIN
Before I discovered Human Design, I was a successful-but-burnt-out hairdresser in Dallas, barely holding it together through a divorce and quietly wondering why the life I’d built no longer fit. On the outside, everything looked fine. But inside? I was drowning in the pressure to keep up with a version of myself I never actually chose.
That all began to change the day a friend casually recommended a past life regression podcast. One episode led to another, and suddenly I was deep into a conversation about something called Human Design. They called it a "soul blueprint" — an owner's manual for how your energy works. I was curious enough to pull my chart (first on MyBodyGraph, later on Genetic Matrix), and when I saw that I was a Splenic Projector with a 3/5 profile… something clicked.
Not in a small way. In a big, “Oh-my-god-this-explains-my-entire-life” kind of way.
Human Design gave me a language for what I’d always felt but couldn’t articulate. It explained why I could walk into a room and read the emotional temperature instantly. Why people had always come to me for guidance, even when I wasn’t trying to be anyone’s guide. It explained my deep need for alone time, my aversion to hustle culture, and my constant desire to experiment, fail, and try again.
That’s the 3 in my 3/5 profile, the experiential learner. The one who has to try everything to see what works and what doesn’t. And the 5? That’s the teacher. The one who’s here to distill what they’ve lived through and share it with others in a way that resonates.
When my marriage ended, it felt like the ground had disappeared beneath my feet. But even that aligned with my chart. One of the gates I carry is the Gate of Shock , a placement that invites radical transformation through emotional upheaval. The pain cracked me open. And Human Design gave me the framework to rebuild myself, not as the person I thought I should be, but as the person I actually am.
Since then, I’ve left the big city. I’ve become a healing artist in the Ozarks. I’ve built a creative and coaching business rooted in helping others understand their own unique design. I’ve deconditioned, reimagined, and reclaimed who I am.
If you’ve ever felt broken, misfit, too much, or not enough, I promise, you are not alone. You might just be trying to live a life that wasn’t meant for your energy. Human Design doesn’t fix you. It frees you. It gives you the permission, the clarity, and the map to start coming home to yourself.
Your chart is waiting. So is your cosmic permission slip.
WORK WITH ME
At its heart, Human Design is a map that helps you see yourself clearly. It’s given me the language to live authentically, and now I use it to help others find their own clarity, purpose, and flow. If you’re ready to explore your chart and learn how to navigate life by your design.
