Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design. I’m your host, Nicole Laino and it’s just you and me today. And we are gonna discuss some very specific elements ⁓ of human design, particularly the ones that I believe every entrepreneur needs to master. Now, before I get started, I do wanna have a few disclaimers here. One of them being that all elements in human design are important, they’re all you.

They all represent your potential, but some can really make or break your success, particularly in business. ⁓ And so in this episode, what I’m going to do is I’m gonna break down the three elements. I’m gonna show you how they relate specifically to money and abundance, ⁓ and how you can work with them to experience more of both of those things in your life and in your business. But the other disclaimer that I have is that this isn’t the only

list of things that are important to your business. Of course, there are more aspects that are gonna play very, very heavily in your business, but those are gonna be more about your own chart. Of course, we’ve talked about the authority matrix on here. But ⁓ really what I want to draw your attention to is that ⁓ human design is not a set of rules. And I think that it gets treated that way. That like

if I know what this gate means, then I can apply it here in my business. And ⁓ sometimes that can be true. Of course, there are things that we look at, but really what we’re doing when somebody like me gives ⁓ a client a business reading where I tell them how their chart relates to their business, I’m really showing them what potential ⁓ is available to them. I’m really showing them.

what people react to and respond to in them. But it’s their job to live up to that potential. It isn’t a given. Okay. So those are my those are my disclaimers before we start. Because I just want to be really clear. There’s so much out there that that I don’t know if it overpromises human design because I ⁓ I think human design has a really big promise, living your purpose and being the most ⁓ expanded version of yourself.

Nicole Laino (00:02:24)
is a pretty amazing thing. It’s a feat. But I think that the way that they put it out there, I think it can be misleading. And I want to make sure that I am ⁓ delivering this information and being an ambassador of this system in a way that I think is really supportive and letting you know that there’s work involved. Just because you have something doesn’t mean that you’re going to be super magnetic. ⁓ It means that you have the potential to be that if you live up to it.

But the work is to live up to it. The work is to use the system to live up to it. So I hope this inspires you to do that. But I am going to break down these elements and let you know what they are and how you can work with them. But before we get started, if you are interested ⁓ in human design and business, and how do you use human design to lift up into your gifts ⁓ and bring them to your business so you are the most magnetic, the most

successful

Nicole Laino (00:03:54)
The most expanded version of you. If you want that, I am teaching a new masterclass called the New Era Expert. It is all about this. It’s about the 2027 change. It’s about what it takes to really be an entrepreneur who lives in alignment and who leads with their purpose, but who also makes money. ⁓ All of that. It’s going to be the sales system that goes behind all of that purpose and alignment as well as the energetic side of it.

If you are interested in that, you can come for free. It is a five-day free masterclass. I don’t do the free things very often anymore. So this is going to be one of your only chances to do this for quite a while. If you’d like to get in on that and register, just DM me the word masterclass on Instagram. I’m at Nicole Laino Official, or go to Nicolelaino.com forward slash masterclass, and you can register right there on the website. All of it is linked up in the show notes for you too. So feel free to go down there if you’re interested. Okay.

Let’s get started with this episode. So these three elements I think are so important because they have so much power over the seen ⁓ and the unseen. So what do I mean by that? So the seen ⁓ is productivity, our output, how we serve. It’s the stuff that feels very tangible to us. You know, ⁓ seemingly how much money we make, you know, what strategies are we using? What choices are we making?

What are the things that we are choosing to put our energy into in our business? So these elements have have an effect over ⁓ those aspects in our business, the seen things, and then the ⁓ unseen ⁓ things that they also have a lot of power over are what we are attracting with. The energy underneath everything we do. Why, when we put something out that ⁓ is a copy paste ⁓ of

something ChatGPT wrote, ⁓ or a template that we picked up, or something that we saw somebody else post, and we’re like, ooh, that sounds like my message. And then we put it out there. But it doesn’t have our energy underneath it. It doesn’t have our energy behind it that it doesn’t really have a pull. That would be an example of unseen. We are attracting ⁓ all the time. So the unseen is so important and it often gets misunderstood. People think it’s just

Nicole Laino (00:06:18)
visualizing or trying to manifest. But we are manifesting all the time. Make no mistake about it. You are either attracting what you want or attracting what you don’t want. And all of these three elements ⁓ have a lot of influence over that process. Okay? So I’m gonna break each one of them down and how it plays in your life and how you can relate it to your own chart. So you might want to have your chart out if you want. ⁓ Take a look and see if you want to follow along.

These are pretty standard elements, so you will most likely know whether you have what you have in your chart or don’t.

So the first element is the head center. So obviously our thoughts have a lot of bearing on what we attract. Thoughts have frequency. ⁓ And the whether we have a defined or an undefined head really starts to determine how it will play in our business. So the thoughts ⁓ that we have

Nicole Laino (00:07:25)
The head center is also a place where every limiting belief you’ve ever had lives. ⁓ So if we’re making decisions from our minds, this is a very core human design aspect here, or core human design teaching, which is that the mind is not meant to make decisions. It’s not meant to drive action. It’s a tool. But what it does when we are in or not self, and this is how human design helps us find our way back.

Is ⁓ when our head center ⁓ is making decisions, we’re making decisions in alignment with those limiting beliefs that we have. So when we have an open head center, I’ll talk about the open or undefined first. Those people are inspired by everything and they start to ⁓ see something in the outside world. This is where you’re scrolling ⁓ and you go into a scroll hole and you start to copy people.

Or you start to feel like, I have to do that too, or ooh, I have to do that too. ⁓ I listened to this podcast, she was talking about this strategy. I’ve got to do that too. She said it worked for her. It’s a very open head thing because it’s taking in the outside world and it’s saying, That’s a great idea. That’s a great idea. That’s a great idea. So why it’s important for your business is that can be sending you off on wild goose chases. So it’s one of the first things that I have to nail down with clients is to get them to stop ⁓ acting on

Thoughts and ideas all the time. It’s happening constantly. Your strategy and authority is what saves you from that. I’m a manifesting generator with an open head. ⁓ I ⁓ don’t move on every idea that I have because it gets me into trouble. And because I understand this about myself, I can actually see when I’m in misalignment much more quickly, because I still do this. ⁓ I still ⁓ act on ideas. ⁓ I will still slip up.

I’m not perfect. The not stuff the not self still has an effect on me. It just doesn’t have the effect that it had seven years ago.

Nicole Laino (00:09:37)
So an open head is important to understand as an entrepreneur because it will want to take you away from what is right. It will burn you out because it is an idea machine in that sense, that it’s taking in a lot of inspiration and saying, we should do that. And we have to know the difference. But then we also have the thoughts have frequency aspect.

Your thoughts have frequency. So if you’re thinking thoughts like, I’m not gonna make it, this isn’t gonna be a great month, what if nobody shows up? Those thoughts have frequency. ⁓ Those thoughts are influencing your frequency and they actually are influencing the next element that we are gonna talk about. So I’m gonna hold off there and finish that thought when we’re talking about the other element because they tie together and I think it’ll be helpful to hear that together.

But I want to finish here by just saying that defined head center people, you’re not off the hook. You’re gonna think about the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. And that’s your process, and you have the ability to be incredibly inspiring to other people. But wow, can you be caught in your head? And if those negative thoughts start in your head, they’re very loud, they are very powerful.

And you might find that they’re not just influencing you, they’re influencing the people around you. They’re a bit contagious ⁓ because your thoughts are really, really strong. They’re very powerful. You do not need to say them out loud to share them. But when you do share them out loud, they can carry a lot of weight. So there’s responsibility in that. So in business, how we think and what we think is so important.

For these reasons, because if our thoughts drive our actions, human design can save us from that. But in regular business, a lot of times it’s not. I have an idea, let me do it. I have an idea, let me do it, I have an idea, let me do it. We do it all the time, right? But then we have the other side, the frequency aspect, which is every limiting belief you’ve ever had lives there. So we are going to be passing decisions. If you’re making decisions with your mind, you’re gonna make decisions.

Nicole Laino (00:11:53)
In alignment with limiting beliefs and not with your truth and not with what is correct for you. But it’s also if you’re having negative thoughts, you’re sending out a negative frequency. Your energy is being affected. So you’re attracting with negativity, not with expansion energy. Okay? The second element, so I can finish how this all connects together. I want to get to it. The second element is the solar plexus. This is the center of emotions. We don’t attract with our thoughts.

And I know I just told you how important your thoughts are. ⁓ But thoughts matter. Thoughts ⁓ do matter. Of course they do, for all the reasons I just stated. And they do carry frequency. But it’s not the thoughts themselves that that we manifest with, so to speak. It’s not the thoughts themselves that we are attracting with necessarily. It’s the way the thoughts make us feel.

That makes them so powerful. We attract with our emotions. So if you are defined emotionally, you have to learn to ⁓ cope with the fact that you are always going to have emotions going on. So processing your emotions, unprocessed emotions for people who are emotional authorities, is going to mean that you are going to be overwhelmed ⁓ all the time. If you don’t process your emotions,

They are really gonna stick around in you. And then when the wave comes and gives you your own ⁓ chemical process of emotions, when it comes and fills you up from something that has nothing to do with your circumstance, that’s gonna make the thoughts go. I don’t feel good. I feel really anxious. my God, what’s happening? ⁓ Does this mean that I shouldn’t launch? Does this mean that I can’t post something? What’s happening? That energy is emotional. And your thoughts.

are going to add fuel to that fire. ⁓ For better or for worse. Great thoughts, great emotions have a wonderful positive effect, a positive loop. But bad thoughts and equaling bad emotions, that has a negative loop. And we get stuck in that just as easily, in fact, more easily. We almost we let go of the the good one almost immediately in favor of thinking about how are we going to do that again or how is it going to get better or

Nicole Laino (00:14:18)
Will I be able to hold all of this? We can shit on a win like nobody’s business.

But so we attract with our emotions. So if we’re defined, you’re emotional all the time. So you really have to understand how that feels in your body. ⁓ I felt like my emotions were chaos always. And I never knew what to expect each day being an emotional authority. ⁓ I always felt like emotions were like this unwelcome visitor.

Emotions were like, I thought I was gonna be productive today, and I just feel crummy. I just ⁓ and I would get upset. So I would take a tool like EFT or breath work or something, and I’d be like, I have to get rid of this. ⁓ It’s not the right vibe to deal with your emotions, to deal with your solar plexus. ⁓ Understanding that I have a defined solar plexus, I understand my wave. I understand that my emotions are unpredictable in that way. And I don’t have to.

make them go away. In fact I can’t make them go away. I have to work with them. That makes me pretty emotionally intelligent ⁓ for myself and for others. I have tremendous compassion for people who are emotional, because I get it. But in business what it does is it allows me to level out that frequency. So I don’t have these big dips ⁓ every time my wave hits low. And then I don’t allow my thoughts to jump on that train.

Hope you’re seeing how that would work together. The thought and the feeling loop that we can get in. Now, if you’re undefined in the solar plexus, the way that this is going to play for you is you might never want to feel your feelings. And when something starts to feel bad, like you’re afraid of something not great happening, and your mind gets going, then you might not want to feel those emotions. So you sort of pretend like they’re not happening, but they’re happening.

Nicole Laino (00:16:21)
So you’re even less, unless you’ve done emotional work, I’m saying, but an unhealthy, not self-undefined solar plexus would be pretending like they were not emotional. They would pretend like those feelings weren’t happening happening. They would pretend like those feelings weren’t happening, and they would put them away. But meanwhile, ⁓ underneath it all, those emotions are still happening.

And the thoughts are still happening. They are just ignoring them. And all that’s doing is sending out a frequency you do not want to attract with.

And you’re just sitting there going through your day. I’m fine. Everything is fine. But your energy is saying something completely different. This is why I always say thoughts lie, words lie, emotions never do. Your energy never does. You have to deal with that emotion. And it’s very uncomfortable for the undefined solar plexus folks to process emotions. They don’t like it. They would rather not.

But it’s so important for them to do that. And you get to be so ⁓ open in that way. You can really attract with such ⁓ power when you are in alignment there. And that’s what drives people like me crazy because we’re like, we’re dealing with all this stuff. Like you could just clean out the closet and it’s clean every day. Someone comes in and fills our closet all the time. We’re overflowing.

So if I had a bunch of stuff in that closet to begin with, and then the wave comes and fills it up more, it’s like, now it’s all in the hallway. It’s cluttering up the whole bedroom. And now it’s a mess. ⁓ That’s what the defined emotionals deal with. All emotional authorities are dealing with that on some level. So the open emotional folks, the undefined, you have an opportunity to be so intuitive.

Nicole Laino (00:18:26)
But to also really choose what you are attracting with. You can change your thoughts if you clean out that solar plexus and start really attracting with good energy. Okay? So now the third element. The third element is the G center. And this is the center of identity, purpose, direction, love, our ability to love ourselves. ⁓ But I really want to focus on that identity piece. ⁓ It has ⁓ a tremendous effect.

On what we are able to do and be out in the world. You’ve obviously probably heard the saying, ⁓ be, do, have. We think it’s have, we we think it’s ⁓ do have be. I’ll do the thing so I can have the money, and then I will be happy, fulfilled, abundant, all of those things. But we’ve learned through years and years of personal development, and if you haven’t, I’ll

Clue you in right here. I’ll teach it to you right now. ⁓ Be ⁓ is what comes first. When we are being ⁓ the abundant self, then we will be able to do the work ⁓ and we will have ⁓ all we want. But the being comes first. It’s be, do, have, not, not, have.

Nicole Laino (00:19:52)
Not do have be.

The work is not the thing that comes first. The inner work is the thing that comes first. And your G Center is exactly where all of that stuff sits. So when the G Center is off, everything is off. When your identity is off, ⁓ everything is off. This is where we see when people want to get to the next level. They’re changing their thoughts. They feel like they’re changing their emotions, but their identity stays the same. ⁓ So how do we work with the identity center? You work with it differently.

If you are defined versus undefined. If you have a defined G center, then definition in the G center means that your identity is fixed. Means that your identity, you’ve got an idea of who you are, and you are going to have to shift that. And that will be an inside job. You’re going to have to probably do some identity work. You’re going have to choose. And you’re going to have to step into it and start seeing yourself differently. And that can be challenging.

For people who have a defined identity because it is so locked for us, can feel that way. Whereas the undefined G Center, if you have an undefined G center, the ⁓ challenge for you is going to be not taking on all the identities that people put on you, making you feel a certain way. Open identity can feel like they’re not enough.

And they never will be, like they’re fundamentally unlovable on in some way. Like they don’t know who they are. And that feels really uncomfortable. So they question whether they will have the things that they want in life, whether they’ll ever to be able to be the thing that they want to be in this life. They’ll question a lot of things about their journey.

Nicole Laino (00:21:42)
But in reality the way that that works, when open G people can get comfortable with working with this, ⁓ man can they have a lot of fun and man can they shift fast. Super, super fast.

Just being in the right environments is what changes you. So the right mastermind, the right program, the right dinner, the right job, whatever it is ⁓ that you ⁓ are, you know, creating your world around. Could be the right neighborhood you work. ⁓ It could be the right neighborhood that you move to. ⁓ All of these things can contribute to an open G Center person moving very, very quickly.

in upgrading their identity.

Nicole Laino (00:22:35)
So if you want to reach a new level, you are going to have to raise the level of identity that you hold yourself to. And there’s a way to do that for defined or undefined. This is how you work with these, but these are the most important because this is who you are being, the be, how you are feeling. So the the energy that you are attracting with, the thoughts ⁓ that are churning in your head and

making your decisions well hopefully not hopefully you’re following your strategy and authority and not doing that. But able to evaluate thoughts, able to really take in what other people are saying, what other people are trying to inspire you with and being able to go, no, I don’t think that’s right for me. I disagree. That’s the potential. But your head center is going to be a place ⁓ of ⁓ it can take over so quickly.

The way we think influences so much ⁓ of how we show up that we really, really have to do a lot of work up there. So there are successful people with all types of placements and all types of definition. There are no bad charts. I want to make that really clear. The chart shows us where we might have a challenging or an easier time with something. But easier doesn’t always mean a line because I’ve seen plenty of people with quote unquote great charts.

Who haven’t been able to live in the light of it. They’ve struggled with the shadows. ⁓ Really is such an individual experience. And entrepreneurship is a game of self-mastery above everything else. If you’re not mastering yourself as an entrepreneur, if you’re not mastering yourself as an entrepreneur, then you probably will not make it. Something will take you down. Bad decisions, ⁓ a lack of commitment.

A lack of continuity, a lack of ingenuity. There are so many ways that you can fall off the horse in entrepreneurship if you do not master yourself. And human design, when it is used the way that I teach it, and I’m sure other people do as well, but I know the way that I teach it, it is the most powerful tool for self mastery out there. Why? Because it isn’t just giving you

Nicole Laino (00:24:56)
random questions and tools that worked for somebody like an author ⁓ or ⁓ someone with a podcast or something. It’s giving you the questions and the tools that apply specifically to you down to very minute details. So this is how it can change you so quickly. And it also saves you from yourself because instead of making every decision with your mind, you’re making it with your body and your authority. This is what makes it so powerful.

So if you want to see how I blend this, how I bring human design into ⁓ entrepreneurial businesses, ⁓ and how we also build systems on top of that so that you can actually be profitable. You can put your message and your mission out in the world in a way that draws the aligned clients to you, people who will actually buy. Not just people who will tell you you’re super inspiring, I love your show, but they never buy anything.

How do we get those buyers to listen? That is what I’m gonna go through in the New Era Expert because things are changing. This energetic stuff is becoming more and more important in the coming months and years. ⁓ So I will be taking you through all of that in this workshop. If you would like to come, it is free.
