3 Steps To Your Next Quantum Leap

Episode 377

What if the reason your quantum leap hasn’t happened yet isn’t because you’re doing something wrong—but because you’re missing one essential piece? In this episode, Nicole lays out the real mechanics behind big, sudden transformations and why so many spiritual entrepreneurs feel like they’re constantly on the edge of a breakthrough that never quite lands.

She shares the three foundational steps to creating a leap you can actually hold—not just a fleeting high followed by a crash back to old patterns. From owning your future energetically to confronting the uncomfortable truths about action and alignment, this conversation strips away the fluff and brings clarity to a concept that often feels abstract.

You’ll also hear why simply clearing blocks or doing the inner work isn’t enough, and how Human Design can help you pinpoint exactly where you’re holding yourself back. Nicole offers a clear perspective on how to integrate strategy with energetics so your results become consistent and sustainable.

If you’ve been asking, “Why isn’t it working?”—this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

Episode 377

Hello and welcome to Unshakeable With Human Design. I’m your host, Nicole Lano, and I wanna know, have you heard of Quantum leaping? You probably have, right? I. Probably it’s a buzzword. It doesn’t get thrown around quite as much as it used to, but it’s definitely out there. I think we all have this idea of what quantum leaping is, what it feels like, how it will maybe solve all of our problems.

And I want to break this down because I think that it can be a little bit esoteric, and that’s what we do here on the show is we take things that are esoteric, difficult to understand, and we bring them down to earth. I try to make them practical so that you can see what actually is necessary for you to create the results that you’re looking for, and not just hearing a bunch of hyperbolic language from, you know, people selling you things.

Sometimes these messages get muddied and muddled, and what I wanna do is I wanna bring them down to something that becomes really clear. So let’s first define a quantum leap. Okay? So I’m gonna do this just straight from the dictionary because I think that that helps us get our minds around like, what does this thing actually mean?

So what it actually means is the textbook definition of a quantum leap is a huge, often sudden increase or advance in something. It’s this idea that we hit the fast forward button, right? Which isn’t that what we all wanna do? We wanna hit the fast forward button. If you’re in the spiritual space, if you’re a spiritual entrepreneur, a lot of times, you know, this is a human design show first.

So we get a lot of people who are in this spiritual space looking for spiritual answers to 3D problems. And it’s true. Bringing the spiritual into our 3D world is how we start to get outsized results. But if you’re in this spiritual space, if you’re listening to this show, you probably heard of quantum leaping.

You probably want one. Maybe if you are like me, like I was a few years ago, I was wondering, you know, why mine hasn’t happened yet or why I haven’t had another one. I actually had quantum leaps and then I couldn’t hold what came to me in those times, and that felt terrible as well. So we have these experiences, but how do we have the leap, have that big, fast forward, and then stay on that timeline.

Rather than feeling like, you know, we get the thing but we can’t hold it. A quantum leap is one that you can actually hold. That to me is when it’s, it’s truly, truly, it’s an actual advancement, not a temporary shoot forward that suddenly you get yanked back to your old way. Right. So in this episode, what I’m gonna do is I wanna share the, the truth around what I know about quantum leaping, or big changes that happen, whatever you wanna call them, hitting that fast forward button, what that really looks like, how we achieve that.

I’m gonna break it down into three steps. Now, there is a little bit of that. I’m doing this to make it simple for you so that you see that it is these three categories. It does not mean that like you do it in a day. These are three steps that have to be completed, have to be done in order to achieve a quantum leap in order to have that big, big change.

I’m gonna break it down into the three pieces that are essential for this. We’ll talk a little bit about what people don’t wanna hear about them, what people often don’t wanna hear about quantum leaping. And what I find is holding most people back. So before I get started, we are actually, if you’re listening to this on the day that this episode drops, we are in the middle of the Authority Accelerator Masterclass.

We just ended the full main week, but you can still catch up on the replays if you’re actually interested in having a quantum leap. You could see my framework for helping business owners, entrepreneurs, specifically spiritual entrepreneurs, is who I help very often as the core of what I do, how spiritual entrepreneurs can actually get real results in their business.

To build a human design first business, which is a business built around your purpose and around your unique alignment so that you can actually have joy and fulfillment as well as profitability. How you can become an aligned and profitable ceo. That workshop, all the replays are up. If you sign up on nicole o.com/masterclass or dm me the word masterclass on Instagram.

I’m at Nicole Lano official. We will send you the link to the replays right away and you can get started catching up with us. And if you get that, if you get this, if you’re listening the morning that this has dropped, I’m actually doing a bonus session today. You can get in on that bonus session where I’m actually talking very much about this topic.

We’re talking about money, manifestation, and human design. So that is our bonus session that’s happening on Monday, so please join us for that. The replay will be available for that as well until Wednesday if you happen to be listening to this a little bit late. Okay, so we’ve got that covered. Now let’s get into this episode.

Okay. Let’s start talking about the steps to creating a quantum leap and what this really means. So like we said, we’re hitting the fast forward button we’re saying. We’re here right now. How do I go from where I am right now, which whatever my truth and my reality is, how do I hit that fast forward button?

Well, the truth is, is that the first step to creating a quantum leap is claiming it. You need to know where you wanna go, and most entrepreneurs that I talk to do not have specific goals. Now, I know some of you will say, oh, well, I’m a non-specific manifester in human design. That doesn’t matter. I am too, I still have specific goals.

I just don’t get attached to the details around them. There’s a difference, and this is where the human design rules that are out there, because the way that we put things out on Instagram and the way that a lot of people are taking in human design information. It’s more nuanced than we can get an Instagram carousel in a podcast episode even.

You really have to be living this and the best way to do it is with a coach where they can tell you the nuance behind it as it comes up for you, where we can kind of tell you, well, for you it would sort of work like this. So we can’t be so black and white with these things. And we’re talking about spiritual stuff.

This is, this is the gray area, so when we try to make it black and white, that’s where people get screwed up. Certainly when we’re talking about quantum leaps, people get screwed up here. So what does it mean to claim it? Where are you going? What is the future you wish to be true? Really be able to see that.

And now notice I did not say, see it. I said Claim it. Claim it with your energy. That is me. That is mine. Now the game and the goal and the difficult thing. Is that you have to sit here and suspend reality a little bit. You have to be a little d Lulu in order to make this work when everything is going wrong.

You have to still be connected to that truth, to that future energetically to say, I know that that possibility that that thing exists, I know that it exists for me. I know that I’m already there, even though right now everything in front of me is showing me the opposite. That is not the easiest thing to do, particularly if maybe you’re at the beginning of your journey and you are maybe struggling a bit, and things are really hard.

It’s hard to see yourself as a millionaire when you don’t have enough money to pay your bills. Now, the thing that a lot of people don’t wanna hear, or the thing that people get wrong is that they think that it’s like you live in fantasy land. And you don’t deal with the things that are here. No. That’s energetically bypassing and that’s not at all what we’re talking about.

It’s there is an identity that you have to take over of that future version of yourself who has the things that you want, who is them in that fast, fast-forwarded reality. You have to be able to put yourself there, and what you’re doing is you’re dealing with the reality that you are in. From that future self place and over time what happens is when you make that a practice that starts to feel more real, that starts to feel, you start to embody.

This is where embodiment comes in. This is how human design can help because human design gets us to pay attention to different things and change our energy. When you change your energy, it’s easier to change your identity and how you view yourself. It’s easier to claim the thing that you want when things are starting to feel like you’re attracting more.

When you’re starting to use energy, it’s easier to believe in energy, but again, we can’t put our, our heads in the sand about what’s happening in our reality. We just deal with that differently. You don’t pretend that the bills aren’t coming in, but you start to use energy to try to take care of that, and you also do things.

So step two is you remove anything energetically that is not in alignment with that truth. So. What happens and and step two and step three really go hand in. All of this goes hand in hand together, but this is an integrated process. But this second step of removing any, anything energetically that isn’t aligned with that future self, that’s where the energetic cleansing comes in.

That’s where you have to really take an honest look at yourself and say, where am I triggered? Where am I not believing that that could possibly be me? Where am I not able to energetically connect with that future self? Is it just too far out? If I’m broke and I have no money, is seeing myself as a millionaire maybe too far of a leap right now that I’m not able to hold that level energetically, I can’t attach to it.

What can I just attach to? Maybe all of my bills being paid and money coming in every month. That might be your next quantum leap. Sometimes what people don’t wanna hear is that there are multiple leaps to the big one, and what you do is as you do this, you get better at holding the big one and then saying, but here’s the one that I’m working on right now.

I have multiple visions that I play with and they’re at different timelines. I have a one year, I have a five year, I have a 10 year. Because when you put it way far out, there’s almost nothing that we don’t believe that we can make happen. 10 years from now, I could probably make anything happen. I could wrap my mind around that, but I make sure that I put it out there.

The one that I have for one year is far more incremental. It’s still a huge leap, but it’s far more incremental to where I am now. I. Because that’s what energetically I can hang on to. When I start to get too far out, then I start to question, my energy starts to question it, and now it’s not doing what it’s supposed to do.

I’m not attached to it. I’m not connected to it is more a word that I wanna use. I don’t love the word attached, but I’m not connected to it and the way that I need to be to the point where it feels true and real to me. My energy starts to call bullshit, and that’s that second part. We have to remove anything anywhere in your energy that’s calling out bullshit.

To remove anything in your energy that is saying it can’t be this way for you. We have to remove anything in your energy that is saying, I don’t deserve this. That can’t happen to me. That’s where the beliefs come in. We have to remove that. Most people know that part of this. If you’re in the spiritual space, you probably do a lot of work on the energetic clearing side of things.

Here’s the part. Step three is the one that nobody, particularly my spiritual girlies and men, what they don’t wanna do is the third piece. Which is take action in alignment with number one, you’ve claimed that vision. Now you do the thing. And what I find is when we have spiritual people who were healing and energy work and you know, clearing out and going into the past and going into our stuff.

Is your go-to and maybe you’re really good at it, that can become a crutch and that can become the thing that is actually holding you back from your leap. And yes, you may be scared, we just had this in, in my business by design. I had a client who came in and she’s like, you know, I’m trying to figure out, you know, from a human design perspective where this might be holding you back.

What maybe I need to clear. And she is a spiritual master. She is an energetic like guru in her own right. She is a highly skilled energy worker. She doesn’t need my help in that area. She’s got that covered. I point things out, but I told her, I’m like, I think you just need to do the thing. I think that that’s the part that you are holding back on and looking at, what do I have to do internally?

Is not the thing. You wanna result in the material world, right? You wanna result here on this plane, you have to take action on this plane. You gotta meet the universe halfway when you are doing the energetic work. And this is what I mean. This is why I don’t teach just an energy program and just a strategy program.

I don’t pick one because the way that we actually achieve a quantum leap, which is fast growth, which seems sudden, but it’s not. It is little choices. It’s every day choosing to be in alignment with that future that you’ve claimed, that future version of yourself to be so connected to her, even when things don’t look at all like that’s the truth.

To be in that space to notice as you go to do something energetically, what comes up to kick down that wall in a therapeutic and progressive way. Not in a pushing through sort of way, but actually looking at it, saying, how am I standing in my way right now? Making that choice, being able to understand where your gas pedal is, where your brake is, how your vehicle moves, and that’s what human design does.

Human design gives you a lot of confidence in how you move through life, and you get a lot of very quick feedback of whether that is going well or not. You have your signature and your not self theme. You have lots of ways of understanding if things are working for you. The world is your mirror, and if you start looking at where you have difficulty, and instead of looking at it and saying, God, why is this happening to me?

I don’t understand why this is happened to me. If you could look at it and say, everything is working in my favor. Everything is given, being given to me in service to my number one goal. That identity and future that I’ve claimed, the universe said yes, and if I look at everything I get in my life as feedback to tell me what needs to be cleared, where do I need to move, where are there adjustments that need to be made, and I can be in that energetic openness, then you see amazing things happen.

I have doubled revenue. I have paid off tens of thousands of dollars of debt in a matter of weeks, it seemed. Yes. It’s like this is how Quantum leap works, that nobody really wants to talk about it. You know, they think that it’s like, I did this one thing and it changed everything. No, it’s very rarely that there’s one thing maybe that pushed you over the edge.

Right? And we’re all looking for that one thing, which is keeping you from getting the real thing. Because it’s a series of small changes and small choices every day, all day. Choosing yourself, choosing that future, you daring to look inside, breaking old patterns, taking action, doing the thing, showing up for yourself.

Showing up as the best version of yourself, a little bit more every single day, and then the next thing you know, boom, it happens. But you know when it happens though, that boom. Always comes from you doing something, always comes from you doing something. You take some action and the action works and it looks like magic.

But when it happens to you, you know, this was just, this has been cooking and brewing and happening for so long, but it finally, I was finally open enough to receive it and I showed up and I did the thing. So many people are not willing to do the thing. Consistently enough to see the result. And conversely, if you fall on the more strategic side of things, maybe you’re just doing the thing all the time and you keep waiting for the thing to be the thing.

You’re not really looking at energetically the energy that you’re bringing to it. We have people like that in my program as well, who came in really tight and really rigid, and they’re so into the masculine energy and taking action. That’s my job in the beginning. They come into the program and I look at them and I say, well, which side do they fall on?

Are they hyper-masculine? Are they hyper-feminine? Usually they go one way or the other. Very few are perfectly balanced there, and I’m noticing, so with projectors, I have to work on them really getting into their feminine energy. Really like deconditioning. There’s different ways that I work with different types, but I am looking at what way have you been operating?

And if you’re hyper masculine, then I need you to, I need to pull you over to the feminine, not to the point where you’re not taking action, but where we are starting to break up some of that energy. ’cause energetically you are in alignment with struggle, you’re in alignment with. It has to be hard. So guess what?

It will be. If you desire it to be easy, then energetically you have to be proving to yourself that it can be. And if you are hyper-feminine, I have to get you to do some things. I have to get you out of your shell. And that is the thing that starts to break them out. This is how it works. And most people are not doing both of these things simultaneously.

They’re doing them in complete silos. I’m healing, then I go back to work and that’s not really how it works. It’s the work that determines what needs to be healed. You want a result that has to do with your work? Go do the work, get the feedback of what’s not working, and then reflect on it. And that’s where somebody like me can come in and say, like, ask you good questions, ask you the questions that maybe you can’t see that you need to ask yourself.

Give you the tools to start to unblock the areas where your energy is stopped up. Where it’s keeping you from being able to take action in alignment with the truth that you want to be true, the future that you wanna be true. I hope that you’re seeing how this works. It’s a simple process. I don’t mean to make it sound like it’s easy, because it takes a lot of commitment.

It’s energetic commitment to be so aware of the way that you’re operating and to understand that slowing down won’t slow you down. That taking action won’t mean that you are pushing to find real balance. This is what integration is. We’re integrating. That’s the next level. So if you’ve been healing on your own and you’ve been taking action separately, it’s time for integration.

That is what’s gonna change things for you. And so many people just don’t want to face that. And my goal is to help you see how integrating these two aspects in your life. This is how big outsized results are achieved. It’s through these two avenues. We see a lot of people right now who have built really strategic businesses, seven figure eight figure businesses, and you hear how they’re like pulling back slow mornings soft girl era.

They’re embracing this energetic side of things. And now people kind of hear that and they’re like, oh, well I just need to get into nervous system regulation, and then my business will blossom too. Well, those people that have the seven or eight figure business, they were hyper masculine. That’s why bringing in the feminine energy stuff.

Blew the doors off for them. They made it happen. It’s so much easier to hustle your way to success than it is to meditate your way to success. So people like that, you know, they have the strategy in place, they’re doing the thing. So now they open up their energy, they lean back, they. Lean more on their team.

They delegate more and now, yeah, their life is easier and they are shouting it from the rooftops. But that can be a little misleading to some people who hear that. That’s the thing that changed everything for I doubled my profit because we leaned back and we simplified. That is wonderful for that person.

But leaning back, if you’re already leaning way back. Is probably not the answer. You have to do the thing. It doesn’t matter how much I visualize being a bestselling auth author. If I ain’t right in the book, there’s no best seller in my future. I have to do the thing. If I wanna speak on stages, I’m gonna have to show people who I am, and I’m gonna have to have an expertise and I’m going to have to really claim that energetically.

But I’m also probably gonna have to send out some pitches. I’m gonna have to meet some people. There might be some things that I need to do to make that thing easy for me. It doesn’t have to be hard. I don’t have to chase people. But I do have to maybe get to know people. Maybe I do have to put some feelers out.

Maybe I do just have to tell people that that’s what I’d like to do and have a really good story or something that I want to speak on to tell them about. I have to do things. So I hope that this inspired you to get into the energy, but also to do the thing. And if you don’t know what to do, find somebody who can help you.

Figure out what to do, what action to take that will drive results for you. Because the biggest question in our minds that holds us back is wondering, how am I gonna do it? It wastes so much time and nothing will take you out of the energy of possibility and potential. Like, how am I gonna do it? And feeling like you don’t know the answer to that.

So then you go frantically searching for answers. No. Find someplace, find someone. Seven figure eight figure entrepreneurs, people who are really successful. Or even at my level, multi six figure, we don’t ask what can help me. We ask who can help me? Because that’s how you move faster. That’s how you save yourself years.

Quantum leaping is about saving yourself time. So how do you hit that fast forward button? Maybe you ask somebody who’s been there and you leverage somebody else’s experience and their success so that you can create your own without having to maybe make the same mistakes they did. Or spend months, if not years toiling on what am I gonna do?

How am I gonna do it? So I hope this inspired you. If you wanna join us for the Authority Accelerator Masterclass, catch up on the replays. Or as I said, if you are listening to this on the day, this episode’s drops on Monday, you can join us for the bonus session where I’m talking at length about this very topic about money, manifestation and human design.

So you can join us for that. We’ll get you the link to that. If you get this in time, there will also be a replay for this one as well. So even if you get this before Wednesday at midnight, you can catch up on the replays then. Thanks so much for being here, for listening to this. I appreciate you. And 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. We’ll see you next time.
