Pathways Into Self-Discovery With Coach Diamond Drip

Human Design, Gene Keys, And Practical Tips For Inquiry

Introduction

Welcome to the show. I always say that I had a great conversation, but this one is a little bit different because I got to talk with someone who is an expert at some stuff that I love doing in my life and I don’t talk about a lot. I’d like to tell people that I’m a little bit woo-woo. I’m woo, not woo-woo. We get to talk about some of the processes and practices that I’ve done that she’s an expert at. We also got to talk about how this works in your life. Diamond Drip is my guest. She’s an expert on Human Design, Gene Keys, coaching, creativity, and a lot more. Please enjoy this episode. I’ll see you on the other side.

 

The Art of Transformation | Diamond Drip | Self-Discovery

 

Welcome to the show. I’m here with Coach Diamond Drip. I am very excited because when Coach Diamond Drip reached out to me and she was telling me about all the stuff that she’s doing, it’s stuff that I’ve done in the background and I don’t talk about a lot in my coaching and the content that I put out there. I’m excited to get to share some of that in this episode and hear from Diamond Drip about how she used that stuff. Diamond, welcome. 

It’s so good to be here with you and our audience. Like you, I’m also excited.

I’d love for you to tell me a little bit about your background with this. I know that you work with Human Design. I’ve had my own reading done. It was very impactful. I’d love to share that story at some point. I also know that you work with Gene Keys, which I don’t know as much about but I have listened to. I forget the guy who started it. What’s his name?

 Richard Rudd.

I took one of his courses and listened to some of the audio that they put out around the Gene Keys. It’s really inspiring. I don’t know a whole lot about it, so I’d love to find out more. How did you get to this place where you’re focused on this kind of work?

Ketamine Clinical Trial

Which course did you take? Is it activation?

It was a seven-day thing.

I know what you’re talking about.

I feel under research now because I should have gone and looked that up before, but I did it. It was very grounding and impactful.

I know which one you did.  I’m always curious. I’m like, “How deep did you go?”

Pretty shallow. I was doing different kinds of therapy. This was some years ago. This might be particular. It has been ketamine therapy. Some of the audio that we were listening to was Richard Rudd. There was music behind it. There was this incredible, inspiring narrative. In the end, it made me feel more capable, more was possible, and that my life was on track. Nothing had changed except for when I listened to this audio, but I felt different. 

I love that.

How did you get here?

I love that you brought up ketamine because I participated in a psilocybin clinical trial. That healed my depression. I say that that was the catalyst for this whole spirituality because I was one of those people who would read my horoscope and be like, “That fits. I see why people like this,” but then there would be these elements that didn’t fit or didn’t quite feel like me so I would write it off. I’d be like, “People believe in this wholeheartedly.”

The trial changed that for me because it took me and connected me to my higher self. It opened my eyes a little bit. I was a little bit less closed off to this idea that we are these souls having this human experience and that things like the planets moving around can have an impact on us and our personality. They always say that when you do a psilocybin experience or any psychedelic experience, don’t make any major changes in your life for six months.

I said this before we started recording. I consider myself a spiritual skeptic. It’s not woo-woo but woo. It’s partially there. I know for anybody who’s reading who’s like, “We’re talking about planets and whatever. This is BS,” keep reading. Whether or not you wholeheartedly believe that because Mars moved over here which is why you’re going to be sad, it doesn’t matter. It’s a foundation for inquiry. That’s what I’m hearing you say. You had this experience and it was a foundation for deep inquiry that changed your life.

I love that beautiful encapsulation of what happened. I’ve been an entrepreneur for four years. This trial happened about two years in. They tell you, “Don’t do anything major for six months.” At the time of the trial, I had my main business, which was a product-based business. It was the thing that was bringing me money. I was also in school for visual communications. My degree is in graphic design. With the confidence that I was gaining from learning these tools in school, I started a side graphic design business. I had two businesses, was a student, and my daughter was three at the time. She was a toddler. You can see where I’m going.

My kids are a little older. I was talking to my wife. We’re at the point where most things are under control, so when stuff does happen, we’re like, “We thought this was under control.” At three years old, nothing’s under control. It’s like a fire hose all the time. Seeing you were dealing with two businesses and school, how were you managing?

That was the wake-up call. I was operating out of the shoulds and the have-tos, forcing myself, and trying to let these labels like, “You’re a multi-business owner, a student, and a mom. You’re so successful. You’re doing so much,” define me even though they were draining me. It was one of those things where the trial was like, “You didn’t start a business to be a slave to these businesses. What are we doing? Your daughter? You are like, there’s connection potential there.”

 

You do not start a business to be a slave to other businesses.

 

For context, I try to be the opposite of what my mom was. My mom had an undiagnosed borderline personality disorder with narcissistic tendencies. I was removed from her care due to child abuse and neglect when I was fourteen. That showed me what not to be as a parent. I thought that I was doing a great job because I wasn’t that, but in a lot of ways, my daughter in the trial showed me that she wanted to play with me. At the end of the day, she wanted to play. She wanted to spend time. Even though I wasn’t abusing her, I was still not giving her the time that I wanted as a child from my mom. That was one of the openings. All of this came from the trial.

I waited. I listened to them and said, “I’m not going to make any major decisions for six months.” About 7 or 8 months after the trial, I made the decision to close down my 1st business. I realized that the lifestyle that I envisioned for myself of being able to move freely, go to these different places, and hop on a computer, that product-based business wasn’t allowing me to do that.

I was like, “What do I like from both businesses?” In the product-based business, I was doing some element of life coaching because I wanted to get to the root of people’s problems so I could make the right product recommendation. In the graphic design business, the business owners who would come to me would come to me for logos, websites, and social media posts, but what was really happening was branding coaching and marketing strategy behind the scenes.

It is a lot about identity. It’s identity work. At the end of the day, it is like, “Who are you? How do we represent that over here? We need to know who you are first.”

Exactly. Otherwise, we’re going to create things that as you grow and evolve, you’re going to be like, “That doesn’t fit me anymore.” These major rebrands happen. If you’re aligned at first, you don’t have to change. It can grow with you. In both of these scenarios, I was doing this element of coaching for free and doing the work. I looked at it and was like, “Since you love that part, why are you not doing that? Why are you having these other things?”

I made the decision to close down my first business and take a stab at becoming a service-based business with this coaching element at the forefront. Naturally, I realized very quickly that I had no idea how to do that because I had built a product-based business. I was like, “I do know about customer service, but there’s more to a service-based business than customer service.”

Out of that feeling of inadequacy, I joined a year-long coaching program. We see them all the time. It was like, “Learn this proven strategy and framework and you’ll make $10,000. You’ll have $100,000 launches.” What happened was I joined the program, learned those things, and saw other people having all this success. I was like, “What am I doing wrong? I’m doing it. People are coming to my stuff.” They’re like, “You’re great,” and I’m like, “Okay.”

I want you to bookmark this moment because this is a big question. I work with a lot of creatives and a lot of different kinds of folks. What I’ve discovered is that a lot of folks know exactly what it is that they need to do. They know these systems. They can pay for this framework. They can pay for these templates and all this stuff. What is it that was separating you at that moment from these other people who are seeing that success?

What it ultimately came down to was what I thought of myself and the stories that I was telling myself. I would be able to put on these great events and get people on discovery calls, but the program that I was in taught the framework of doing this funnel in order to get people into a high-ticket program. The problem with having a high-ticket program as a coach is that you have to believe in yourself and your ability. You have to believe that you’re worthy of the price that you’re charging people. If you don’t, that shows up in sales conversations. It’s like, “This sounds great, but I don’t know.” You create that, “I don’t know for them,” and then they either say, “I need to think about it,” or, “I don’t think this is the right fit for me right now,” or any of those things that we hear as rejection.

I’ve heard them all. For anybody tuning in who’s doing anything, whether it’s creative or coaching, it doesn’t matter. You’ll hear all those things, and you should hear all those things. If you’re putting yourself out there in a way that’s authentic to you and you’re pushing yourself to live your values, putting your work out there, and making your offers, you should hear all those things. You should get a ton of noes, “No, thank yous,” and, “I got to think about it,” and “I got to ask my partner,” and all that stuff. 

Discovering Human Design And Emotional Authority

I want to validate that as well because we are not for everyone. The whole time, they’re talking about niche clarity. They teach a framework but then they try to tie in these other business elements of, “What’s your superpower? What’s your unique value proposition? How are you standing out? What’s your message? What’s your mission?”

I was in this place of, on a personal level, I had come into contact with my higher consciousness. Whatever my higher self was, I saw her, I met her, and I saw how she operated and how she flowed. She was empathetic. She was kind to herself. She was forgiving. I was like, “I want to be more like her. How do I get there? She seems awesome, at peace, and not worried about anything.” I was trying to figure out, “How do I become her?”

At the same time, I was figuring out, “I have this service-based business. I know I’m doing the right things, but the thing is my confidence. How can I figure out what my thing is that makes me special from all the other business and mindset coaches that are out there talking about AI, talking about mindset? What makes me different?”

At a time when I really needed it, someone was like, “Do you know your energy type?” I was like, “No. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She sent me a calculator that was not like the one that’s on my website. They give you the word, no description. I was like, “I’m not buying a report for something I don’t know anything about.” What do we usually do? I went to YouTube University and was like, “What does it mean to be a generator in Human Design?”

My whole life, people told me, “Your energy is infectious. It’s contagious. You bring energy.” I was watching this video and it was saying, “When you’re doing work that you love, you’re around people that energize you, and you’re in the right places, you generate so much energy that it bubbles up and spills out of you into the work that you’re doing and the people you’re around. That’s why people want you around. They want you to bring that energy.” I was like, “That’s me. That’s what people are describing.” I then looked up what it means to have emotional authority. I was diagnosed with Bipolar II disorder when I was fourteen. With disorder, there’s a negative connotation. It means there’s something wrong.

It means there’s something out of order.

In Human Design, I have what’s called emotional authority, which is this acknowledgment that I live my life in these up and down waves but that’s aligned for me. It’s when I’m in an emotionally neutral place that I make my best decisions. It’s not from a high or from a low but from this neutral place. I’m taking time. That was empowering. I was like, “This changes the narrative.” I didn’t know how to start using this. At this time, I was doing research. I was like, “This thing that I know about myself, it changes the way that I think about it.”

 

Emotional authority is the acknowledgment that you live in the up and down waves of life that are actually aligned for you.

 

The last thing that I’ll talk about is the 5/1 profile. As a one line, you learn that you’re an investigator. You’re a researcher. You like getting to the bottom of things. You like a strong foundation of information. I was like, “Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? This is what I’m doing. I’m deep in a rabbit hole, getting information and doing research.”

You’re doing it right at that moment. Thank you for sharing all that, first of all. There’s a lot to dig into there. I resonate with a lot of it. I’ve had some similar experiences growing up. What I found so interesting when I had my Human Design done by a practitioner was there was this whole report that you get. If you’re doing the readings for people, you’re with them and you’re helping them interpret the report. I’m an Emotional Manifestor. That’s my type. What I discovered that’s so specific and so weird but it made such a huge difference in my life when I had that done a few years ago is how important sleep is for my decision-making. It’s not just sleep and being rested but the time that it takes to sleep.

I’m an Emotional Manifestor. When someone’s like, “Let’s do that,” I’m like, “Let’s do it.” I inevitably get overwhelmed and over-committed. That’s a big pattern in my life. When I started to really look at how I’m making decisions, the time I’m giving myself to make decisions, and how much sleep I’m getting in between getting the idea and saying yes, I have drastically balanced out my life since I had that reading done. I’ve been doing a lot of work. It’s not like Human Design is magic and it fixes everything.

The thing that I’m up against too is these fears of disappointing other people. This happens a lot in our world. On LinkedIn, everyone’s like, “I want to help you. I want to do your newsletter. I want to 10X your blah,” and all this stuff. I’ve gotten good at being like, “I’d love to think about it.” You get to know if it’s the right decision when you see the responses to that. Some people are very persistent. Some people will say, “You got to decide now.” I’m like, “That’s not how I make decisions. If you’re already telling me that you’re not respecting my process, then we aren’t a good fit.” It has been liberating how much crap I’ve said no to. Have you had that experience? When did you have your reading done? When did you learn your type?

When I learned my type and when I had my reading done are two different things. I went down the rabbit hole and was learning all these things, but then I was running up against the block that you will run into at the beginning of, “Now I know all this stuff about myself, but how do I use it?” It was at that point that I was like, “Let me get one of these readings so I can see how someone else does it. How do they talk about the information?” A lot of the things that I was learning were in the Human Design language, which isn’t always digestible in traditional Human Design.

I’ll be like, “I’m a one line,” and people are like, “What does that even mean?” That is why someone needs to work with someone like you who understands these things. Someone’s not sitting there using all this tribal language. It doesn’t mean anything until someone’s like, “What it means is you need to sleep more,” or, “What it means is you need to take breaks during your day,” or whatever it is.

In my experience, even in talking to you, if you’re coaching with someone, you like to dig into it with people. You like to get to know them. When you have this reading, you can say, “Here’s what I know about you and what I’m seeing here.” We’re in inquiry. We’re discovering together, “How does this line up? What are the options for you?” What was that for you? What was that experience like for you? 

It was really profound. The person who did my reading, I had watched a lot of her YouTube videos because she was talking about it before people were even talking about it. I was fangirling over the fact that the person I was watching, I was like, “You’re doing my thing.” Aside from that, it was getting clarity around why my energy works the way that it does.

A lot of people go into readings because they don’t know. They’re like, “Tell me.” I went in like, “I know this stuff. Tell me how to make it work.” Human Design is a tool. It’s not the answer. She’s telling me things and I’m like, “That validates that. I know that’s important, but how do I start using this emotional authority thing?” She was a self-projected projector. It’s a different energy. She can’t tell me how to be emotional because she hasn’t experienced that. She can tell me what other clients have gone through. For me, it was one of those things of validation like, “I know the things that I need to know but I’m still  left with how I can make this actionable in a way.”

 

Human design is a tool for self-discovery, not a magic solution.

 

When we talk about having emotional authority, I am so glad and super excited for when this comes out because I was talking to an Emotional Manifestor. She would say, “I inform. I do things,” but when the decision was something that was something for her, she’s like, “I don’t need to tell anyone. I can tell the backer.” I’m like, “That’s exactly where you need to inform.”

In dealing with the emotional waves, you start to get your awareness around what is coming up. That was the biggest thing for me with the reading and learning more about emotional authority. How you say that you need sleep, I recognize that as well. For me, I realized how much I wasn’t even listening to my sacral response.

As a generator, I have this internal “Uhuh,” and, “Uh-uh.” What I was noticing was the mind would kick in so quickly after I would get the “Uhuh,” or, “Uh-uh,” and then I would be noodling on what I thought was the right decision. It took me a really long time to figure out what was external noise, what was the internal critic, what stuff I was noodling on from that, and what stuff was aligned. I start with conditioning. One of the things that I found helpful is when conditioning is behind whatever the decision you’re making is, there’s this pressure. There’s this urgency of like, “You have to. You must. You should.” When something is aligned for you, it’s, “This feels good. This is in alignment.”

You’ve used some language that I want to thread together here, like the shoulds and the have-tos. In plain terms, we’re talking about pressure from family, society, and constructs around gender, race, and all these different things. That’s been eye-opening for me as well. I’ve got kids too. There are so many times when it’s like, “What should we do?” It’s like, “Hold on a second. How do we want to do it?”

I do some different work around inner critic and other things. You keep using the word aligned. I use that like, “What would feel most aligned with me at this moment with my child?” when I’m planning their school or whatever it is. It takes this thoughtful and non-rushed inquiry. Maybe we don’t all have the choice to slow things down sometimes. Sometimes, life does force you into faster decisions. I also want to ask you about how this relates to your work with the Gene Keys. Let’s be honest. Let’s help me understand what it is because I’ve only dipped a little bit into that.

Understanding The Gene Keys System

I always preface whenever I talk about Gene Keys with Human Design. Human Design is a synthesis of a bunch of different sciences that give you this map or this blueprint of how your energy flows, different aspects of your personality, and how that ties into your decision-making. Of those sciences, there are at least 7 or 8. Gene Keys looks specifically at a couple of them. The Chinese Yijing and quantum physics.

Every gate in Human Design or every gift in Human Design is also a gene key. They’re talking about the same thing. Where the Gene Keys go a little bit deeper is there’s Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi. Siddhi is a Sanskrit word for this transcendent realization. The Shadow is whatever the challenge is that you need to surmount or overcome in order to see the creative potential of the gift or the gate that you have. 

What is an example of the gift? The Shadow is the problem. The Gift is?

We’re our best example. One of my most important gifts is the gate of beginnings. It’s gate 53. The Shadow is immaturity. There’s this curiosity that you have to have with these tools. When I first learned that, I was like, “I’m the most mature person I know. I was in the system.” You have to sit with yourself and see what comes up.

When you listen to the contemplations, he talks about how immaturity is being in this place where you’re so externally fixated. You’re constantly seeking validation. Moving from that into this place of internal groundedness is what the Shadow of immaturity is. When I listened to the contemplation, I was like, “That’s me. I’m a perfectionist.” The school system doesn’t help. Our whole lives, we are trained like, “Do this work, turn it in for a grade, and then let someone else tell you whether it is an A or B.” You develop that kind of thinking. That’s the Shadow.

The Gift is expansion, which makes sense because if you’re not holding yourself back trying to get external validation all the time, then you are going to expand more. You’re going to step into things more. When you do that, the siddhi, for this particular gene key, is super abundant. That one had a reaction too because at that time, I was still in the business coaching program. I was seeing all these people hit 6 and 5-figure launches. I was like, “I don’t feel abundant.”

You were like, “I’m not as abundant as them, so I’m not abundant.”

Not thinking that you’re abundant and then seeing that superabundance is the Siddhi. It’s like, “What’s superabundance like?” I love podcasts because this came through in a podcast. There are multiple types of abundance. There’s time abundance, health abundance, relationship abundance, and financial abundance. There are all of these different components. When we change our perspective and release the stories that we tell ourselves about abundance, we start to see, “When I expand in these ways, I’m stepping into that superabundance. I’m seeing this transcendent realization.”

 

When we change our perspective and release the stories we tell ourselves about abundance, we start to expand and step into super abundance and transcendent realization.

 

That’s how the Gene Keys work. Each one that you have has these three different levels. There are three pathways in Gene Keys. That’s why I asked which course. There’s the first one, which is the activation sequence, which talks all about your purpose, what you’re here to do, what you’re here to learn, what deeply fulfills you, and what keeps you healthy. Also, this is the recommended order because the third one, a lot of people want to jump into it. I’ll explain why not to do that.

The second one, which I’m in, is the Venus Sequence. That looks at your relationship with other people. It picks up from where you left off in the activation with your purpose, what deeply fulfills you. It starts there, and then you start looking at these different relationship dynamics, karma, dharma, emotional intelligence, and SQ. All of these things are in the Venus Sequence.

The third one is the prosperity one, which is why a lot of people want to do that first. They’re like, “How do I make the money?” That one comes last because until you truly understand your purpose and your gifts and how they play into your purpose and you understand how you are in a relationship with people to help you fulfill your purpose, you can’t focus on the money and the communication of it because you don’t know. Those are the three paths.

 

You cannot money without understanding your purpose. Align with your gifts first and prosperity will follow.

 

I’ve seen it with myself and a lot of the folks I work with. There is this focus in our society around, “10X your income,” or, “Get 1,000 clients,” or, “Sell a million paintings,” or whatever it is. At the end of the day, there are a lot of people who are doing that who are deeply unhappy because they haven’t done the purpose work. For anybody who’s tuning in who knows me, I know it sounds woo-woo, but fundamentally, if you’re out there chasing these dreams that may belong to somebody else or belong to other people, then even if you get them, it’s not going to make you happy. Honestly, what’s the point?

I use the word gifts in a different context, which is the gifts that you have to give the world. I heard you say that. I had a very similar experience when it came to coaching because I was doing my own work and running my own businesses. I still have at least one of those businesses.

When I really thought about the pattern of my life, all the things that I’ve done, and the specific memories and things that I have like, “Where did I feel most fulfilled and most lit up in a way?” or if you want to think about some non-woo-woo terms, “Where was I happiest? What moments in my life?” When I could write all those things down and connect those dots, I could see much more clearly and dive in with much more rigor around my business when I say, “This is aligned,” as opposed to like, “Someone says I should do this. I’ll try that and see if I can make some money. I’m like, “I believe in this work,” which is a much more powerful place to come from in terms of your own fulfillment and success.

I did a workshop earlier. I’m using the same things that I was learning in that business coaching program. The difference is whereas I picked a niche and was going with it for the sake of the program, I have done the work and I fully believe. I’m getting different results. It starts with that clarity.

It’s that self-belief that you have. It’s that new story that you’re telling yourself about what’s possible. I know how it sounds, but it does work. I believe that because I’ve seen it with myself. I’ve seen it with other people. Have you ever seen it work with people who weren’t even aware that it was happening to them?

All the time, specifically with a lot of non-energies. If you don’t know what you are, I highly recommend filling out your chart on my site. Manifesting Generators and Generators are like the energizer bunnies. We’re always going. We make up a lot of the population, like 70% combined. You then have, in traditional Human Design, what they call non-energy types because they don’t have that same sacral battery that we do. Those are Manifestors, Reflectors, and Projectors.

A lot of the conditioning that we’re exposed to is geared towards Generators, like, “Go out there. Make it happen. Hustle. Grind.” We as Generators and Manifesting Generators are living out of alignment because we shouldn’t be initiating things anyway. We should be waiting to respond and doing these things. What happens with the waiting to respond as a Generator? I’ll give a perfect example.

I went to a webinar and they were talking about Human Design and Black Friday specials. I was like, “I am a business. I should probably do a Black Friday special.” I was getting all these ideas, inspiration, and all of this and then recognized that that was going to take me away from the work that I was already doing, the workshops that I was already putting on, and the community that I was building. I was like, “I’m feeling pressure to do this. I don’t think this is the right move.” I had to sit with myself and be like, “I want to do Black Friday and I got a lot of great ideas. However, I’m going to write that off for maybe next year.” I put it away.

I got an email from somebody in my network. She was like, “I’m feeling really good right now. I’m feeling generous.” She wanted to see who in her network would want to be on this newsletter with Black Friday specials that she was going to send out. I was like, “I don’t have to put together a whole idea of what I’m going to run.” I had the idea I had through emotional authority. I waited because I was like, “I don’t think I have the energy for that.” This other opportunity, similar to that idea, comes and I’m like, “Yes.” I didn’t have to create anything.

What I’m starting to do with Human Design more is to use AI to give my sacral something to respond to like, “If it comes back with something, no,” or, “If it comes back with something, that works.” One of the things when I was brainstorming was to call the rate that you’re charging for your community the founding member rate. That’s your Black Friday special. That’s your gift. I was like, “The price is going to go up at some point.” It’s to validate outside of you that it’s the right move.

I’m looking at the clock and the time flew by. I ask this question in different forms to different guests. I’m curious. Before we unfortunately have to go, what advice do you need to give yourself that you don’t want to hear?

Honestly, the thing is waiting. It’s waiting and being able to be in your awareness enough to recognize when too much outside noise is coming in. I know I don’t want to hear it and I say it all the time. It wasn’t long ago that I did have to give myself that advice. I was like, “You got to stop. You have to recognize when you’re pushing.”

I’ll still have times where I don’t wait for clarity and I make a decision because I’m trying to people-please or whatever, and then I see how it bites me in the butt. I’m like, “This was one of those times.” The advice that I’m giving myself is to wait. If it’s not an, “Ooh,” but your brain wants to give you all of the reasons why it should be an, “Ooh yes,” your brain is trying to convince you it is but it’s not.

Diamond’s Advice To Her Future Self

One of my coaches loves to say, “If it’s not an absolute heck yes, then it’s a heck no.” That’s not to make everything binary but to say we have limited time on this plane of existence. If I said yes to everything, I’d be deeply unhappy. I’m accepting that I can’t do everything that I want to do in my life in the years that I have and knowing that I can probably more than fill up my time with just the heck yes or the ooh feeling. It’s being willing. I love that advice. I’m going to take some of that on myself. For everybody that’s reading, I hope you do too.

There’s no rush on a lot of this stuff. We often feel that there’s a rush. I love how you’re calling it this external noise or this inner critic. I had this thing happen where we had to do some passport stuff with one of my kids. My wife was like, “Let’s get this done.” I was like, “Is there any reason why we shouldn’t do this in January?”

We realized in slowing down that if we tried to do this now, there’s much more risk because of trips and different things would get screwed up. If we wait, the risk goes way down and the chances of success for this process go way up. That slowing down, I love that advice. I want everyone to take it from this session. I know you’ve got a free Human Design. Tell us about what’s on your website.

On the website, you can pull your Free Human Design Chart. Start seeing how the information lands with you. I will send you some resources like a checklist and a video for you to get a better understanding. , That’s usually the best way to connect with me. It is through the free chart pull. I’m on all the socials because branding is a thing that I do.

I would encourage anybody who’s tuning in and is curious about anything that you’ve said to go check out the chart and be an inquiry around it. You don’t have to believe in any of the science about why it works. It’s enough for me to say, “Here’s this interesting take on me, my energy, my habits, my patterns, and my behaviors. Let me look at this and see if anything pops out to me.”

Something that’s beautiful that you’ve talked about is how much of that codified what you already knew about yourself. You got to see it and go, “That’s true. Now, I can go and figure out which way I want to move forward from that knowledge.” You were able to make some big changes in your life and start to build this successful business. What better result than that?

Exactly.

Here we are having this conversation. I want to thank you so much for your time and your willingness to come join us on the show. I hope everyone goes and checks out your work. Thanks very much.

Thank you.

What did I tell you? It’s a little bit woo. It’s not woo-woo but good stuff. What else I want to tell you is that we are about to launch our next Unleash Creativity Club. We are having a free open house on December 17th, 2024. If you missed that one because this episode was published after that date, which I still don’t know, we’re having another one in January 2025. You can join our mailing list to get all these updates and more, including great tools from the club to really get a sense of what we do. I encourage you to sign up. It’s free. We love sharing. See you there.
