Episode 376

Hello and welcome to Unshakeable With Human Design, everybody. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and today I want to talk about creating your next level breakthrough. I think that most of us are looking for that. We want to improve ourselves. If you’re listening to a show like this one, you probably want to improve your life in some way.

You want to discover yourself in some way. And you probably have methods that you’ve used so far to get you where you are, but most of us we’re striving for more. Right. And right now we’re in the middle of the Authority Accelerator Masterclass. That is my five day free masterclass that I do. Every so often, and we are right in the middle of it now.

In fact, if you’re listening to this on the day that the episode drops, we are wrapping up on Wednesday of this week. There is still time though. If you’re listening to this on the Monday that this episode releases, there is still time for you to get in on that. If you’d like to go on that little journey with us, you can catch up on the replays.

I. Where we do this work of elevating you to your next level self, but something that has been coming up with members of, we have a telegram chat for the masterclass, so seeing all of the feedback that people are giving us inside that telegram chat, and there’s a slide that I take everybody through on the first day of the masterclass where I show them masculine and feminine energy and how success is achieved.

And this was really interesting because I do that chart. I did it in the last launch and I did it in this one. People really reacted well to it, so I did it again. And now I’m noticing these last few days, I’ve seen so many comments come up from people inside business by design who are in there already.

And then members in the Telegram group and of people who have been attending the masterclass have been talking about this theme about. What method do we use to achieve our next level growth? This came up with a client on our hot seat call where she’s a spiritual master. She is absolutely, you know, she’s a psychic.

She does all sorts of healing work. She does really, really deep, deep work and you know, she came to our call with her own kind of, you know, they come to our calls to get help, right. She’s wondering why she’s not excelling at, so she’s not moving forward with something and her go-to is to shift to the spiritual work.

It’s like, oh, well what do I have to clear? What do I have to do? What can human design tell me? And I noticed this with other people. There’s people that are doing readings with me right now. I’ve had a lot of people who are very masculine, energy focused. They are, what do I have to do? What’s the strategy that I need?

What do I need to focus on? Tell me what I need to get done. We have our tendencies. We have our conditioning in a lot of ways where we are conditioned to kind of hit one pedal versus the other. And in the slide that I show in the masterclass, I show like an axis and I show you how if you are high in strategy or low in strategy, and whether you are high in spiritual feminine work, or low in the spiritual feminine work.

It divides into four quadrants, basically, whether you are high spiritual, low strategy, high spiritual, high strategy, low spiritual, low strategy, and low spiritual, high strategy. So people who lean toward, and usually people were going into, most people said they either fell into one of the extreme quadrants, so they fell into high spiritual and low strategy.

A few people fell into that high strategy where everything that they do, they’re thinking like, okay, well what’s the next thing? What’s the next tactic I need to employ? What’s the strategic move I need to make? So which one are you? When you think about reaching, I want you to think about where you are now, and I want you to think about where you want to go.

What are the goals that you have and what is it that you have done so far to get you where you are? What has been the thing that has paid off? Is it more strategy or is it more energy focused? What have you done more of, I should say, and what has, and has it worked? How has that served you? Now, for a long time I was very high strategy and everything was strategic.

Everything was like, okay, tell me how to launch this. Tell me how to write content. Everything that I bought had a how to in the front of it. How to write content, how to write content that sells how to. Do a branding kit, but how to master launching, how to do a video launch, how to do an email launch, how to write emails that people wanna write.

I had all of the how to programs, right? And I became kind of obsessed with that. And then I got opened up to the spiritual work and then I did a big shift and it was like, okay, now it’s all spiritual. Now I was just clearing and unblocking and, and I got kind of stuck over there. I’m reading a book with my son and there’s a part in the book where these kids go into a casino in Las Vegas and it’s like time stops and they’re all just in there kind of not knowing that years are going by.

It’s like this time warp. And I feel like that’s what can happen when you’re in like a healing cocoon is sometimes it’s just like, oh, I just gotta go back and heal that thing, unblock that thing, get through that thing. So I hope you’re doing that. I hope you’re checking in with yourself. Where do you fall on that scale?

Do you fall more strategy or do you fall, like maybe more in that healing cocoon? Do you look to things like human design and stuff like that? For all of the answers? Because this kind of been coming up a lot lately where I’m just seeing people that fall into one of these quadrants and very few are falling into the high strategy, high spiritual, and that’s really where the magic is.

You need integration. You have to be able to do things that will make you money. And then you also need to be able to. Observe yourself so that you are not on autopilot. Maybe following along with some limiting beliefs or limiting patterns that have kept you where you are. Because when we wanna reach our next level, we have to be so self-aware of our patterns, of our things, of our shortcomings, of the tendencies that we have to fall into old ways of doing things.

If we’re in alignment with old ways, then we’re going to get old results. We’re not really breaking through. And if we’re faced with challenge where a strategy doesn’t work or where we go to show up and it doesn’t go our way, we don’t get the result that we thought we would get or that we hoped we would get or that we wanted, do we fall apart?

What do we do with that scenario? This is an integration of masculine and feminine principles to be able to employ strategies. To be able to do the work because the advice that I had to give to my client today was I was like, you are such a master healer and you’ve done all of this work with yourself, and you have done it with other practitioners and you’ve gone deep.

I think maybe you just have to look at where you just have to do the thing. You have to choose the strategy, and you have to just kind of make yourself do it, because if you’re hiding from it. And this happened with another client in our group, healing and going to their chart and healing can be a crutch.

So can strategy. But I think healing starts to feel good. And if we’re into kind of like exploring ourselves and we’re into this metaphysical stuff and understanding what our gifts are, we can think that kind of diving into these gifts that we maybe can’t really wrap our vocabulary around that finding them is somehow gonna answer all of our questions and make all of our problems go away.

It’s part of it. It’s why I teach. Healing and doing at the same time. That’s why we integrate human design into your business so you don’t build a business that is purely strategic based on what other people told you would work. I have another client who came to me where she basically, like a coach, kind of gave her brand and her direction and her message, and she said, okay, because it’s what would sell.

But then she was completely disconnected from that message. She hated it. She really had something on her heart that she wanted to do. It was hard for her to trust it, but she did, and now she’s moving in another direction now. It took a lot of courage, but that came, and then she did a reading with me, and I’m giving her a lot of validation on why that direction felt so good for her and how she can be even more integrated and feel more courageous in stepping in that direction.

Go that way even more boldly than she already is. This is why the answers are in us and we have to start to trust that. And sometimes our way of not trusting that is thinking that we have to find more answers within us, that we have to dig deeper rather than just allowing ourselves to be there and to, I find that the best way or the most effective way to grow and reach your next level is to do the thing, employ the strategy, work the system that you put together.

Hopefully it’s one that works. And then see where you hit a wall and when something doesn’t work, to be so grounded and so expanded that when it doesn’t work, it doesn’t freak you out, that you can look at it and you can say, oh, interesting. I’ve hit a new wall. This is what expansion looks like. This is what it means to be able to grow and hold more.

You show up in different energy to the work when everything isn’t do or die. That is a survival aspect of your nervous system. If you’re scared to take a move in a strategic direction, then there might be some nervous system work that you need to do, and then you need to go do the thing again. And then sometimes you just need to plow through that wall that you’ve built it up so much strategically that you have made it so do or die, that you’re so scared to make a move that you do nothing, and then you go and hide in a healing cocoon again.

I see this over and over again, and I see it on both sides. They tend to get a lot of people in the spiritual realm because they’re interested in human design. They’re interested. They’re like, oh, I, I think human design will have the answers for me. What I have found is that these two, wherever you lean, the hardest and the most often, so when you answered that question, which one do you lean on more?

The healing or the masculine, the strategy or the energy? Wherever you lean most naturally. The answer is probably the other one for you. You probably need more in the other direction. But again, it’s not about only going in that other direction. It’s about finding balance. It’s about integrating these two things.

I think that human design offers a really interesting perspective on this as well, and astrology. ’cause this is coming from like an astrological aspect, but the nodes, the south node and the north node. These are polar opposites. The North node tells us what our growth path will be. We start out coming into this world in the south node theme, knowing certain things that we’ve always known, the stuff that’s natural to us, and the north node themes are the things that we need to get over, the things that we need to learn to do, learn to embrace, learn to let go of whatever they are for your particular sign.

You need to learn these lessons in order to have the growth that you seek. This is what is so amazing about doing the spiritual work alongside the strategic work. First of all, I think it makes it a whole lot more fun. Makes it a whole lot more interesting, and you build a business that feels like such a reflection of yourself that you just can’t help but become obsessed with it.

But it also, it guarantees almost that next level growth. Because if you’re looking inward and you’re looking outside, you are playing the 3D and the five D world, you are harnessing the power of the universe. You are using every tool at your disposal as opposed to being blind to one while being hyper-focused on the other.

This is where I just see a lot of struggle. Once people come into this. So I find people, when you have one thing that’s already in place, I have another client, Melissa, she just did a, an interview inside the Authority Accelerator Masterclass with us, and we were talking about her experience in the program.

She just joined, you know, maybe two months ago, is all it’s been. She joined two months ago ago and she’s already had these amazing results and she said, she’s like, it’s an energetic shift. My energy shifted and suddenly. She’s a projector, so she’s definitely going to get that. She’s going to get that real bang for her buck when she learns to expand projectors.

When you lean back and you actually learn to prioritize your health and your wellbeing and space and your energy, then suddenly invitations start coming and success just becomes your way of life. Honestly, usually you’re just making it harder on yourselves, and part of that is because you’re believing it has to be hard.

You’re believing that it has to be somebody else’s way. So if we just take a purely strategic point of view to a business like this on paper, Melissa had the business that made a lot of sense. It was making money. She’s launching, she’s doing all the things that other people are doing, but it wasn’t.

Going as well as it used to. It started to decline and she started to feel not good. She was burning out, not in love with her business anymore, starting to question things. But now you bring in the spiritual approach. We’re not throwing out the strategy and being like, you’re just gonna lay in bed all day and do nothing.

No, but we are bringing in this spiritual aspect where her even just learning about herself through her design, started to get those voices telling her that it had to be the other way to shut up. When they shut up, she was actually able to expand her energy. Then she invited six new clients in without being in the launch, which was kind of crazy.

She said that that was just crazy results for her, and that’s the energetic shift. But that energetic shift worked because she had strategy in place. I’m not saying that energetic shifts can’t happen. They absolutely do. Hers was just an extreme. Example, and I wanted to make sure that I’m being transparent in the fact that it wasn’t, she got into the energy of what she wanted and money just fell into her lap.

No, she built the strategy already. She had mechanisms. She had a program to put people in, and she had a way for people to book calls with her, and she started sending emails and reaching out, and she got some referrals. But for a projector, it doesn’t have to be hard. We have another client who really started to get into her energy.

She’s another projector. Got really relaxed in her energy, did a lot of deconditioning work, and then the invitation started coming. I believe she’s giving her keynote today. That is the power of energy. You’re leaving so much on the table and really if you’re going all strategy, the belief that you probably have is that it has to be hard if you’re not working hard.

Then it can’t happen for you, or there’s only so much success that you can achieve, well then you have to work on that and you have to start proving to yourself that that is not true. ’cause that is a belief and it’s not true. This is why just strategy doesn’t work and just energy doesn’t work. You can’t just sit on a meditation pillow and wait for money to show up.

You can, I just haven’t seen terrible amounts of success with that. So embracing these two, and I’d love to see more programs that truly integrate them. I don’t, unfortunately, I see them masquerading as that, but I don’t necessarily see them implementing that and really having a business and energetic program that has both sides built out, but pursue the side, pursue this integrated approach in whatever way that you can.

Pursue this. And if you wanna know more about it, you can join the Authority Accelerator Masterclass. Just go to nicole o.com/masterclass and you can join there, watch the replays, and you can see how we do it, and you’ll learn a lot from it. People are saying they’ve already got more out of this free class than they do out of paid things, um, that they paid for in the past.

So check that out, see what speaks to you. See where you lean. Do you lean more feminine than it might be time for you to, to look at the masculine stuff. If the strategic work hasn’t worked for you before, maybe you need to look at the way that you’ve approached it. Does it need to be from a more integrated perspective?

Do you have a message that really feels like a reflection of you? You may need to blend these things. Otherwise, maybe if you’ve done so much spiritual work, you’re able to pick up a strategy you couldn’t before. Have you tried? A lot of us are on autopilot and we’re doing things just because we always have.

Notice what you’ve always done and ask yourself if it’s working. If it’s not, take a look at the other side and say, have I tried that too? What’s been my experience with this? Reflect, that’s my invitation to you. So thank you so much for being here. I hope you found value in this episode as I hope that you do with all of our episodes.

I thank you for making it all the way to the end with me. I appreciate you. Remember, in order to have an unshakeable business, you must first become an unshakeable human. So thanks for letting us help you become unshakeable with human design, everyone. We’ll see you next time.
