Episode 439:

Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design, everybody. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and I am so happy to be here with you. This is our first official episode in 2026 because our transit episode aired a little bit early and this is our first one. Oh, my goodness. Happy New Year, everybody. And this is our first time alone, just the two of us. Because I’m here by myself today, we’re going to be having just a chat, you and me. But how are you feeling? It’s kind of a weird time, right? We’re in this in between, I think between. We wanna run hard because we want January to be great and we want to kick the year off in a positive way. We want things to start moving, we wanna feel that momentum. 

But something that we talked about in some of the earlier episodes is we are still in the year of the Snake. Technically, we haven’t hit the Human Design New Year yet, which isn’t until the 22nd of January, I believe these dates. Kind of what that causes is this like little push pull that we get in the middle of the end of December and at the beginning of January is this feeling of like, I want to move, but I. I can’t. And so I just want you to check in with yourself. And this is just me. Before we get into the episode for today, I wanted to just call this out because I know that this is coming up for a lot of people and just give yourself permission to go when it feels right and to chill when it feels right. 

That every moment you should be kind of looking at what is this moment trying to teach me, what do I need to release, let go of or shift that I don’t want to bring in to this quicker energy that we’re going to be riding along come February. Okay. But what I wanted to talk about today, and part of this is I think that the human design, the deeper human design work that we do, what’s so powerful about it, particularly at this particular time of year where we’re in that in between, is we can do a little bit of that soul searching, a little bit of that shifting right now so that what we are doing and the way that we are working is we are setting ourselves up for success once February comes. And human design just sort of lends itself to. 

Because deconditioning is such a core element of human design. It’s not an option. It’s necessary. It has to happen. Or none of the other parts of human design, no matter how much you study and no matter how much you listen to podcasts like this or quote, unquote, do the work, if you’re not doing the releasing work, then none of it’s going to work. So to start us off, I want to talk about the G center in particular today, and I want to talk about recalibrating the G center because I think when we talk about success in human design, a lot of times, you know, we’re obviously talking about type, we’re talking about authority, we’re talking about strategy and authority and how that is the guiding light in your day and in your life. 

I follow my strategy and authority and I can constantly be checking myself to see, am I in alignment? Your signature and your not self theme are telling you, am I in alignment or am I not? Right? So we can do all of that work, and that’s important. But what human design, strategy and authority is really driving you towards is alignment on your path. And we can’t really talk because sometimes I think that we could talk about the what to dos, which strategy and authority helps. Strategy and authority tells you what to do with your human design. How do I follow this mechanical process toward alignment? But I find in my own experience with human design that understanding the deeper layers more and understanding how this system works, okay, I’m following strategy and authority, but why? What is that really doing? 

How is that really helping me that. Me understanding that stuff? I don’t know. That helped me to, one, to feel more comfortable following strategy and authority. And two, just. It started to make, as it made more sense to me, the more I was able to surrender to it and the more I was able to understand other things I could be doing that helped me deepen my practice. Yoga is more than downward dog, right? Like, it’s. That is a key pose. But there’s going to be so much more that gets you into the depth of what yoga can do for you, right? I think the same is true with human design and a lot of these other systems. So before we get started, because today we’re gonna talk about how do we calibrate that G center? 

Because that path of alignment that strategy and authority is driving you on, what that’s really doing is it’s calibrating your G center. It is aligning you to your purpose path, which is directly related to that center, right where your heart center would be in the Hindu chakra system. But we’re talking about it as the G center, which is the center of love, identity, purpose and direction. This is the home center for human design. So we’re going to talk about how we recalibrate that today. We’re going to get into that. And if you want to go deeper and if you love this topic and you want to really start to explore how to recalibrate your G center for an identity Upgrade going into 2026, I’m actually teaching a workshop on this because there’s so much to this topic. 

Even if I did a series on here about this topic, which we’re going to be talking more about it leading up to the workshop. But even if I talked about it all here, there’s just so much more depth to it that I’d really need to teach it. So that’s why I’m feeling so called to teach this workshop. So replays will be available for it if you cannot make it to it live. So they always are. But if you’d like to join us, this is a paid workshop because this is gonna be a very in depth, an in depth workshop. This is going to be real work, real classes. We’re gonna be really working together on this and integrating not just high level stuff of here’s why it works and how it works. 

Okay, so the workshop, all you have to do to register for it and to join us for that is go to nicolelaino.com identity or go to Instagram and DM me the word identity on Instagram. I’m @nicolelainonoofficial. We’ll set you up right there in the DMs. Okay, so let’s talk about this whole G center thing. So first of all, what is the G center? Obviously we know what the G center is, but I’m gonna talk to you a little bit about how I look at this. Okay? So the G center is. It’s the home of your identity. It is the home of. What’s most important is the magnetic monopole. The magnetic monopole is a magnet that only attracts. It’s your inner compass. And why it’s so important to understand this concept is when we talk about things like incarnation, cross and your purpose.

When we talk about alignment, what we are talking about is that you are a being, an individualized piece of stardust, part of the great cosmic whole that is being pulled on the path of your purpose in this life. That purpose Path is determined in different ways based on your G center makeup. Okay? So of course it matters if you are a generator, and of course it matters if you are a projector. But your G center, whether your G center is defined or it is undefined, that is going to have a great impact on how this purpose path unfolds for you. There is a different process for somebody with a defined G center like myself, and somebody who has an open G center, like lots of other people in this world. It’s almost 50. 

We have slightly more defined GS than undefined GS, statistically, at least as far as the numbers that I have. The most recent numbers that I have on anything like that. And what I see in my readings is I see that a lot of people have pretty much a balance. I see 50 open GS to define GS. But there’s a very different way of operating, and there’s a very different way of being aligned in your life. And this is a highly conditioned center. This is where, if you followed your human design from the time you were born, you would never question who you were. You would never question where you are going. You would never question your worth in this world, your worthiness of love from other people, your worthiness of love from yourself. 

You would love who you were in its purity and entirety, always. You would never wonder about how you stay on your path, because you would just trust. But that’s not how most of us are raised. And we’re at a time of the year where you’re going to hear the word identity come up quite a bit. Because it is true how we identify ourselves and the ways that we identify ourselves. There are strategic ways to shift how we see ourselves in order to upgrade our lives. But what I see is a lot of people depending on which definition they have, that gets twisted and often is not approached in the way that it needs to be. That’s the whole reason that I’m teaching the workshop, is to align people in the correct way. 

But when we look at the G Center, what we have is we have a set of gates that are associated with direction. And then we have a set of gates that are associated with love. Different types of direction, different types of love, different types of leadership, different types of love. Right? Those gates and what the configuration is, what your code is determined by what is defined or undefined in your centers and in your center. Excuse me. And then whether the center itself is defined or it is undefined, what happens when our G Center is not calibrated correctly when it is misaligned. What we get is our lessons. We find that no matter what we do, we keep being. This is where we get those repeating patterns. I keep getting the same pattern, the same lesson over and over again. 

What the universe is trying to do. You’re still attracting this old thing to you. You are still pulling in that old pattern because it’s still part of the way that you are misaligned. And until you fix that, until you confront that, until you clear it and shift it, you’re going to continue to attract those same things. So an example could be. I’ve had people deal with this so much in our work together inside Business by Design is somebody who has gate 10, which is the gate of self love and the behavior of self that actually really hates themselves, that person really has a horrible self image, has very limiting ideas about whether what they do is correct or not. 

The way that they behave, the way that they act, who they are out in the world, they’re thinking a lot about the way that people perceive them versus being who they are right now. A whole other conversation is how we all have gate 10 influencing us in some way. Whether you have it defined or you don’t have it defined, it’s just going to show up for you differently. But for somebody who has it defined, it’s part of their design, it’s part of their curriculum in this life. And if they are not in alignment with that, they are going to keep attracting things that are equal to that level of worthiness that they feel for themselves. Nothing will ever quite feel right. As long as they are not loving themselves. 

As long as they are deferring to others to tell them how they should behave, they versus letting that come to them from an internal state. So this is how this works. So when you are in alignment and you start to tweak your gates of your G center and you start to bring things into their higher expression and you start to really explore yourself from this unbiased place. Because I think that’s what’s interesting about human design is it takes it out of feeling personal. It’s like, oh, this is the code, this is the thing. It’s just in a low expression of what it’s meant to be. I don’t need to get rid of anything, I don’t need to change myself. I just have a little piece here. It’s like a piano. It’s like this key is out of tune. 

Well, we need to tune the string. We don’t throw out the piano or think that we need to pluck that key totally out. No, we’re going to tune it. That’s what human design allows us to do. And that’s what calibrating the G center is all about. Is fine tuning these aspects based on your design, not based on some. This is why I have to do this in a workshop setting. Because if I did it here, it would be too broad for you to really walk away with something that you could use. But inside the workshop, we are going to go into these details of how we shift these things. 

How do we fine tune our design so that we can be in alignment with fulfillment, wealth and purpose and where we are truly meant to go in this life versus the lessons that the universe is trying to get us to learn so that we can finally get out of our own way and allow ourselves to be pulled on that path of our purpose. The magnetic monopole is a magnet that only attracts. It is not a dual pole. It is a monopole. It attracts things and that’s all it does. And it either attracts what we want in alignment or it attracts lessons. Misalignment. When we start to shift our energy and our. It can be a bit of understanding here. You know, we want to get out of the mind, we want to get out of the practice of thinking about everything. 

But I do believe that when we have greater understanding about some of this stuff, it can help us surrender to the process a bit more. My goal is always to get you to not be thinking so much or to think in a different way, to think in a lighter way. That’s really what contemplation is. Contemplation is light touch thinking. It is a pondering of things and allowing them to work their magic through you. That’s what human design does. So when you start to approach your G center from this space and what we’re going to do inside the workshop is I’m going to break down, you know, how you break down your code of your G center. How do you start to attune to what is true for you versus those lessons? What do you do when you get those lessons? 

We’re going to break all of that down and I’ll go into more detail about like a deep dive into how the G center really works and how all of the gates, what they represent and how you can look at your chart and start to decode your formula here for alignment in your G center and start to get really pulled on that path of your purpose. So if you want to join us for that? Just go to nicoleliano.com, identity. You can register there. Or you could DM me the word identity on Instagram. I’m @nicolelainofficial. And we’ll register you right there in the DMs. But it is so important that you understand this. And it’s why I’m kicking the year off with this one.

Because I’m always thinking about identity at this point of year, I’m looking at it and saying, you know, who do I need to be? Those are cognitive things that we are taught. But what we really need to do is come at that from the inside so that we can actually have those conscious thoughts come in and do what they’re meant to do. What I see. And we’re going to talk about this in the next episode because I’m doing kind of two pieces on this. But in the next episode, I’m going to talk to you and let you know why so many people doing that conscious work. And we’re going to go into this in the workshop as well. But why is it that the conscious work sticks for some people and it doesn’t stick for other people? 

And we’ll talk about the work that goes into that. So please join us for the next episode as well to continue the conversation. But I hope that you see how recalibrating your G Center can really just start to pull you on your path of purpose so that we can take resistance out of your life a bit more. Right here at the start of the year, as we are ending the year of the wood snake and then entering the year of the fire horse, we have all of this fire and air energy. If you didn’t listen to the Human Design Transits episode that I did with Christina Luna just last week, please go and listen to that. We laid out the forecast for all of January, just like we always do. 

We talked a lot about, you know, what we’re seeing for the year as well, and just how all of this stuff is showing up for us. The theme is fire and Air. So this is going to be fast moving. It’s going to be a lot of initiation energy. It’s going to be a lot of powerful energy we want. Plus the fire horse energy that we are also entering into in February, we have it in all of these aspects. There’s so much going on. This is really going to help you center yourself in a place of your truth so that you don’t get your mind caught up in how do I do all that? How am I gonna move forward. If you already feel that, please come to the workshop because this will center you in yourself and in your body. 

If you can’t feel your body, if you can’t be present in it, then you will most likely be find yourself scattered and having difficulty and probably feeling very overwhelmed a lot of the time. This recalibration of the G Center brings you back to your truth for you. Not my truth, the truth for you and how that is gonna lead you to alignment, wealth, fulfillment and purpose for yourself. Okay, so I hope you join us for the workshop. I hope you join us for the next episode. 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 unshakable with human design. We’ll see you next time.
