The 2027 Change from The Cross of Planning to the Sleeping Phoenix

Episode 448

What happens when the systems we’ve relied on for centuries stop working—and we’re asked to lead ourselves instead? 

In this episode, Nicole explores the massive energetic shift humanity is already moving through as we approach the end of the Cross of Planning and prepare to enter the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix in 2027. This isn’t a future prediction—it’s a lens for understanding why so much feels unstable, uncertain, and up for renegotiation right now.

You’ll hear how the collective, tribal agreements that shaped governments, institutions, work, family, and leadership are breaking down—and why that breakdown is not a mistake, but a transition. Nicole explains the key differences between these two eras and how they show up in everyday life, from our relationship with authority to the growing push toward independence, intuition, and self-directed paths.

Nicole also explores why Human Design becomes especially relevant in times like these. As groupthink, emotional contagion, and charismatic leadership intensify, learning how to make decisions from your own authority—not fear, pressure, or the crowd—becomes essential. She shares how understanding these energetic dynamics can help you stay grounded, clear, and less reactive as the world around you feels increasingly volatile.

This episode is an invitation to observe what’s happening without getting consumed by it, to feel what’s true without bypassing discomfort, and to begin preparing yourself for a very different way of operating in the world. If you’ve felt like something big is shifting but haven’t had language for it yet, this episode will help you start connecting the dots.

Episode 448:

Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design. I’m your host, Nicole Laino. And today we are going deep into a topic that I can’t escape from. Whenever we’re aware of something, it’s like the white car thing. When you’re aware of something, when it’s in your awareness, when it’s in your experience, you start to see it everywhere. And this is a theme that I just see everywhere. And I’m seeing it everywhere for lots of reasons. If you listened to the January and February episodes that I did on this show for the Transits with Christina Luna, we talked about elements of this thing. If you listened to a lot of the episodes that I did in the month of January, mentioned this theme, and the reason for that is it’s present now, and it’s something that we have had theme that is going away in 2027. 


So what we’re talking about today on the show, we’re Talking about the 2027 change going from the cross of planning to the cross of the sleeping phoenix. Now, I did do an episode on this a couple years ago. It’s been a while, which is why I’m revisiting it. Because I have a very different relationship. I’m seeing different things about it. I understand it so much more deeply than I did before. And I’m sure as this year goes on, I’m going to understand it even more and more deeply because I’m contemplating these things. I am. And this is just to clue you guys in on how you work with human design and how you work with a lot of this stuff. Some people think about it as a hard study. There’s only so much information available on this stuff. 


So it’s about allowing it to percolate, allowing it to marinate, allowing it to let this information and your awareness tune you to these themes out in the world and start to see what comes up for you. That’s what this process is about. Contemplating is not about, like, hardcore studying and forcing answers out of something, which is how a lot of people approach human design. And I understand that because I did, too, in the beginning. But it’s this gentle, kind of playful way of being in relationship to the information that you’re in relationship with it. So it’s like you’re gently thinking about it. You’re. It’s in the back of your mind, but you’re walking about your day, you’re going about your life and then you see something that gives you a clue to something that you weren’t even aware of a couple of years ago. 


That’s how this works. So what I wanted to do, and that’s what I mean about this, that I. When I did that episode in 2023, I think it was, it’s episode 2 16. So if you want to go back and listen to it’s still all relevant, it’s all factually correct. I just feel like I am able to connect the dots in such a more meaningful way. And the depth of my knowledge of human design has obviously changed in the last two plus years. That where I am now versus where I was then. I’m a different person with a whole different host of experiences and lessons that I’ve learned. So that’s why I wanted to do this. I feel like I’m bringing something really new to this conversation that we didn’t cover in 2:16. 


But if you aren’t familiar with these changes and you want to go deeper into like the foundations of what it means, the ABCs of it all, go back and listen to episode 216. We’ll link it up in the show notes for you so you can go deeper into that. Okay. But today what we’re gonna be focusing on, cause this shift is coming February 14th of 2027. We will officially end the cross of planning and enter into the cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. It’s almost one year away. It’s almost exactly one year away if you’re listening to this at the time that the episode drops. So in this episode, what I wanna do, it’s building on what we talked about in episode 216. We’re going to go some different places with it, tying things together with what we’re seeing right now.

But really what I want to do is I want to share themes around the shift and what they will be. What are the differences between these two things? I am going touch on some of the foundations so you don’t have to worry if you didn’t listen to that last episode. You don’t need to stop this and not listen to it. You can follow along with us. But if you want to go deeper, go back and listen to that one. I want to talk about how we’re seeing this transition play out in real time. In front of us right now. How are we already seeing these different competing themes show up? How are we already seeing the battle between the Planner and the Phoenix? And what’s the difference between these two creatures? Right. 


We’re going to talk a little bit about what the role of human design is in all of this and how you can use it to help lead you through this change. And then I want to talk about what you can be doing now. How do you use this year to prepare yourself for what’s coming? Because make no mistake, this is going to be a completely different way for humanity to operate. And what we’re seeing now is the chaos that is coming from people not knowing what to do in this interregnum period, in this time between times. And how can you be an observer of this and not get caught up in all of it? That is one of the things. 


Like I think in 2023 when I did this, I had knowledge of this change, but I really didn’t fully grasp energetically what was going. I understood logically what would happen. But now what I’m able to see is these things play out and from a place of almost neutrality. I’m not completely out of it, but that’s what human design can help you with, is to pull you out of the fray so you’re not caught up in the vortex of this energy that you’re actually able to be an observer of this, to be able to see what is happening, to be an observer of this program. Cuz that is ultimately what we’re talking about. We’re talking about. We are programmed right now and have been since the year 1615. 


We have been programmed by the Cross of Planning and now we are going to be programmed by the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix starting in February of 2027. These are very different themes, okay. Very different programs. I do want to say, if you are interested in this topic, I’m actually going to be teaching a workshop on this. So this will go worlds different, deeper than these two episodes ever could. I’m really going to be teaching about what this change is. I’m going to be showing you the details of it. There are actually. There’s actually two other Crosses that are part of this. It’s not just planning and the Phoenix. There are actually two other crosses at play in this whole greater program. There’s one that’s associated with the Cross of Planning and one that’s associated with the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix. 


They very often don’t get talked about. We’re going to go into that, I’m really going to show you how these themes are shifting from one to the other. We’re going to break it down in great detail and we’re going to talk about the changes that you can be a part of. If you are a spiritual worker, if you’re a human design coach. A lot of certifications do not teach about this and they don’t teach about it to the level that I’m going to be teaching about it in this workshop. But if you are an energetics person, a service provider or something where you guide people, I personally think that this workshop is required reading or required participation. This information in this class is really going to prepare you to be a leader. 


In fact, that’s what we’re calling it, is how to lead through the change and starts with leading yourself. And then it’s going to be about how you lead others. How can you be a force of steadiness and calm in the eye of the storm for the people who are really caught up in it. There’s great opportunity here, both for your business, but also just as a human being. You can be a steward throughout this, helping people make their way through this transition and understand it. So if you want in on that, this is a paid workshop because we are going deep. I am teaching, teaching in this. So we are going beyond just like themes. Like if you think this episode is great, forget about what you’re going to see, what we’re teaching in this. We’re going to take you really deep into this.

Let’s dive in, shall we? Let’s cover a little bit about cross of planning. The cross of planning is made up of four gates. The gates are gate 40, gate 37, gate 16, gate 9. Those four gates make up the cross of planning.

Perhaps you are a cross of planning person you were built for this time it is. It’s not a personal cross though. While it can be for you as an individual, what we’re talking about here. Is we get a collective program that we are always under the influence of. And it tells us the greater themes for humanity. So themes for humanity were very much under and driven by themes of the cross of planning. The cross of planning was really about systems for systems. Let’s build a system to take care of this. Ooh, we have this problem. Let’s build a system to take care of that. This is how we ended up with schools. Schools are a cross of planning thing, okay? We have kids that need to be educated. Everybody should be educated. 


We should have a way of doing that uniformly so that kids are being educated on the right things. Here’s how we’re going to do it. We’re going to develop a school system, right? How are we going to take care of people? They get sick, what are we going to do? A health care system. All of that is cross of planning stuff. CrossFit planning taught us to make deals. Okay? You have that skill, gate of skill 16, you’ve got that skill. Great. Here’s what we want to do. Let’s plan this out. Let’s really get focused on it. And what is really needed here. Gates 40 and 37, the channel of community. What do we really need? How can we put those skills to use to build a system that will take care of everybody? That’s going to help us build and grow and prosper, right?

How do we grow the population? How do we take care of more people? The industrial revolution, very much a cross of planning thing, right? Growth and building and a bit of excess. And just like that, foundations of creating this world that we all live in. These systems, these hierarchies, the gate 40 and gate 30, these are very hierarchical gates and energies. So we have that, and then we have the cross of the sleeping phoenix. Now, cross of planning, I should also say, is ruled by this channel of the community, which is the channel of the bargain, which is the 40th gate and the 37th gate, connecting the ego center of support with the emotional, the solar plexus, the center of emotions. I take care of you take care of me. This is the bargain. This is the contract that we have between us. 


We have contracts as married couples. We have unspoken contracts between friends. We have contracts with our government. I pay my taxes, I get these things in return. Those are my rights. Those are the things that I am entitled to. Cross of planning stuff. All of this. Now, this is governed by that 40, 37 channel. That’s what the leading energy is of it. And what we have is we have the 40th gate and the 37th gate are both ego tribal gates. These are part of the ego circuit. They are part of the tribal circuitry. And then Gate 16 and Gate 9 are part of the logic circuit in the collective circuit. So these are both logical collective gates. So we have two logical collective. But we get this tribal connection over on the other side. 


There’s more energies in this, but we’re simplifying this for the episode. We will get into more details of that second cross I was telling you about in the workshop. So if you want information on that, join the workshop. But we get a lot of tribal energy in the cross of planning. That is what governs it. Anytime in a cross, we have a channel. Whenever we have a channel being made in an incarnation cross, that channel takes the lead, no matter what. So we have all this tribal energy. It’s about us, right? It’s about our tribe, our people. And the cross of the Sleeping Phoenix is governed by the 3420 channel, which is a very different channel. It’s the channel of charisma. This is individual energy, personal power, readiness. Let’s go. I wanna do it. Let’s go. It is an expression of personal power, right? 


So the cross of the sleeping Phoenix is four very different gates. It’s the 34th gate, the 20th gate, the 55th gate, the Gate of Abundance, and the 59th gate, which is the gate of intimacy. So now we have this personal power and spiritual abundance and intimacy. Closeness, real intimacy. Like vulnerability, like not performative. Contractual. The 4037 can be a very contractual, transactional kind of relationship. I’ve got you’ve got me. The minute you break that bargain, I’m out. The moment I sense that there is an imbalance in this bargain, I might opt out of it and break the contract. Because you broke it first. That’s how 4037 can operate. We’ve been under that in our world. Now we’re going to something else which is not as interested in the tribe. In fact, it’s not interested in it at all. 


These are all individual gates except the 59th gate, which is tribal defense, which is a little bit different than the eco circuit. We’re splitting hairs here, but still we lean in the individual. We are heavily in the individual with this one. And then we have that second cross as well that we’ll discuss in the workshop, which is also heavily individual. So now we have these two things where we’re going from. Let’s build stuff for all of us. Let’s build what. What do we all need, like that whole systems thing to. I’m not really interested in systems. I’m interested in me and my journey and what I want and my expansion. Gate 55 is the gate of abundance. So these themes, we’re already seeing these themes play out in real time for us. So how have we seen this? 


We’re seeing systems, maybe we’re seeing how we’re not really trusting the systems that exist anymore. We’re starting to question things that we never questioned before. So when you look at things like in the 1950s, where we had. And I’m speaking about in America, it’s. It was largely the rest of the world that did this as well. But I’m American, so this is my experience. But if we look at, like American values, traditional American values, we have the 1950s family that as they called the nuclear family. This mom, dad, two kids, suburban house, dad works, mom stays home. This like traditional family values thing. We have seen it go away. And some people say it’s like the erosion of values, of people meaning anything to each other. We have seen. Some people say it’s because God isn’t in our world as much anymore. 


Once we took God out, then we stopped caring about each other. What human design has taught me and astrology has taught me is that the weather, the cosmic weather, the energies that we can’t see, that we don’t know are happening, that are programming us, that the question becomes, is this really a thing that’s playing out here? Or are we just seeing themes change? Are we just seeing the natural evolution as we end certain cycles and begin new ones? Because the ending of the cycle of the cross of planning would say that we’re going to rethink what marriage looks like. We’re going to rethink what family looks like. We’re going to rethink what government looks like. And the cross of the sleeping phoenix says, I’m interested in me and my journey. So we’re seeing this, aren’t we? We are seeing even the. 


And I could make a million examples. I’ll give you a few we can look at the shift from. I remember my grandfather was. He worked for General Electric. He loved that company. He worked there his entire career until he retired. He had a little stint where he stopped working there. He was still working there, but he went to war to support his country. So he took a leave from work, but then went right back to work there. They gave him leave and allowed him to do that, which was like a thing I still have. I have the letter of him requesting to. To take a leave to go to war, which I think is so sweet and interesting. That was something that he did. And then he remained loyal to that company forever. 


And that company gave him stock options, and those stock options supported my grandmother till the day she died. That doesn’t really exist anymore. We don’t see that so much. I’m not going to say it doesn’t happen. It does. But we don’t have that same bargain with the corporations, do we? We don’t see that as much. We’re seeing that erosion of the bargain between the employee and the employer. And what are people doing? A lot of people are opting out of that relationship altogether. We have AI coming in now. AI We’ve got Amazon saying in a leaked email from their top brass saying how they want to fire everybody, 500,000 jobs. They want to get rid of them and replace them with robots. Now, how close they are to being able to actually implement that, I don’t know. 


Probably not very close, but probably closer than we logically think. Right? Innovation can move fast when there is an appetite to make it happen. They want to get rid of the people. And I’m not saying this to scare you, I’m saying that. And we can look at these people as evil and we can. We can have our thoughts about that, or we can shift things and change things so that we just say that’s innovation. And we shift the way that we operate in the world. We shift our leaders, we shift the way that we depend on these companies and corporations. We see a lot of people, they’re opting for entrepreneurship, the gig economy. All of these things, I think, are signs and signals about what’s happening in the world. People intuitively understanding that things are changing. What was safe before is no longer safe. 


We can’t count on these things before they’re feeling the change, they’re feeling that shift, and they’re saying, you know what? Maybe I want to make my own way. That’s some 3420 stuff. And even though we’re not there yet, even though we’re not in that energy yet, we can feel it coming. People ask me this all the time, if I’m, can I feel a transit coming, if I’m going to have this activated in transit, or can I feel it coming? Of course you can. This is where in astrology we have the orbs, right? How many degrees out are we from this being an exact matchup? There’s always. And that’s Just degrees of when you will feel it. You’ll feel it strongest when it’s exact. When it’s right on top of each other or right opposite each other. We. The degrees tell us. 


So we are in degrees of this happening. Okay. People ask me that all the time about the nodes. How will I notice the South Node and the North Node change? Is it gonna be like on the day that it happens that I shift over into this North Node theme, or will I feel it happening? It’s been my experience coaching hundreds of people now through this and also going through that shift. My Uranus opposition of the South Node to the North Node gate, I certainly felt that shift. And I absolutely felt how different it was when I was right on top of it and when I crossed over it. So I felt it coming. And at the time, I think I thought that I was experiencing it. But it wasn’t until I got to the other side of it that I was like, oh, no. 


It was nothing like what it is now. It felt like it was, but it was just from my frame of reference how I was experiencing it. I hope that makes sense. Like, we feel it coming and we think, ooh, I think I’m there already when someone explains it to you. But you don’t realize until you get to the point. It’s like you. You don’t know until. And it wasn’t until I got to that point and I shifted over into 46 gate territory and I shift over into this North Node territory. Then I go, oh, yeah, now this is what it feels like on the other side of the fence. I didn’t really get it. I could see what was there, but I wasn’t feeling it the way that I thought I was. And so I think it’s the same thing. 


I think it’s the same thing here. I think we are seeing these things. We are seeing systems be tested. We are seeing leadership be tested. We are starting to ask different questions. The 37th gate, I talked about this in my Human Design New Year episode, and I talked about this in the Transit episode I did with Christina. I Talked about the 40 37, and I talked about the 37th gate showing up a couple of times in the New Year report. And the 37th gate questions leadership. It’s in the fifth line in one of its placements. And the 37th gate in the fifth line says, Only the exemplary leader shall be trusted. The 40th gate rewards people for being true. So I think that we’re starting to get. That’s the interesting thing about this is that in the time we are in right now. 


I think that’s why this feels so big, is because this is energy that we are saying goodbye to. But the universe also gave us. I think it’s till May we’re in the 4037 for our nodes here that it gave us our way of seeing so we could look out through 4037 eyes one last time while we’re under this cross of planning and start asking the questions about what we want to keep. What do we want to change before we change over? And I don’t want to say that it’s too late because it’s not. Because we’re going to talk about what you can do this year to be on top of this. But it isn’t just an individual thing. There’s some things that need to be shored up so that we’re positioned to be able to lead through this. 


If they take away your freedom, if they take away your rights, if they use the system to break the system, after they have excluded millions and millions of people from it, after they have rigged the rules in their favor and in the favor of the unsavory leaders, if they have burned the alliances and broken trust everywhere else where we don’t have friends anymore, if we allow these things to happen over this next year, I think we have a very good chance of going into the not so fun side of what the cross of the Sleeping Phoenix could look like. We still have time to make something happen and shift things both on a personal level and on a tribal level and on a collective level. 


For us to change who we have in charge, how we empower our leaders, what we support, and how we are going to govern ourselves because we are going to. Self leadership is going to be so much more important in 2027 and beyond. But we have to be able to have self leadership. We can’t have our rights stripped away where we no longer have the freedom to be leaders of ourselves. We need the freedom in order to have this cross of the Sleeping Phoenix actually be something that any of us wants to be a part. Otherwise it can be a very dark time. I’m not a believer in that it has to be dark. There are some people that do believe that. I think we have a choice. I think that we have a choice right now about how we want this to be. 


And this might be one last hurrah for everybody to get together and make a movement about changing something for the good. So the role human design has in this, and this is one of the things that kind of goes around and around in my head. So Ra always said that come time, the time of the cross of the sleeping Phoenix, come 2027, you’re really going to need human design, so you’re making decisions correctly as yourself. And I heard that. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, yeah, that’s somebody trying to sell me his system. And I know he believes in it and all of that, but I’m a bit of a cynic when it comes to some of this stuff. I don’t just blindly accept things. They have to. I have to sit with them for a while and. 


But I understand what more of what he meant now. And I evolved too. Like, I didn’t think he was full of it for very long. It was. I just had a questioning period, which is healthy, I think. But where I’m at now, I’m like, oh, I get it. Once we go into the Sleeping Phoenix, where our systems change, where we are maybe asked to elect new leadership, there’s a whole other concept that I can’t really get into in this episode because it’s like its own episode. But there are these concepts in human design that are about group energy dynamics. They’re called the penta and the wa. Penta is small groups, wa big groups talking about the wa here. So the wah, big groups. It’s like group think. It is the mob mentality and what very high level. 


I hadn’t even planned on talking about this, so we’re going a little bit off script here, but. And I’ll try to make it quick, but the wa dynamics, really what they are, is when we have group energy dynamics, what happens is certain energies get magnified, certain energies get muted. So if you have some of these, what we call master channels of these, the penta or the wah, what we get is people who stand out very much in those type of situations. So when you have a group of 16 or more people, you get this wah thing. You get a crowd, Right? So how do we move a crowd? A crowd, we move with very specific types of energy. 


And what Rao, I think was saying was that when we go into 2027, when we make these shift, when the systems and the structures aren’t as strong as they were in the early 1900s and the middle 1900s, and even back in the early 2000s, we had a much more structured sound set of systems. And now we’re questioning them, and now some of them may fall or change very drastically, that you have to be making decisions as yourself. What that really means is you can’t be getting swept up in the energetics of group think. You can’t get swept up in the energetics of you being part of a tribe. And by tribe, I don’t mean the collective. Good. I just want to finish this thought. So you. I’m not leaving you hanging with what the hell is she talking about? 


So if you go to a concert and I’m a big U2 fan, if you listen to this show, you probably know that I’m a huge U2 fan. It is my happy place. Why? Because when I go there and I’m in that wa, I am in this group of 16 or more people and there’s a leader on stage, Bono, they’re singing songs they are hyping us up with. And one of the things I love about them is that I feel like it’s very high frequency music. There’s always hope. Even when there’s despair. There is always this no, but there’s always hope. We can always do better. We can always better. And that makes everybody emotional. It’s a very emotional thing and we all get charged up by it. And I feel like I can fly. I am. I am hopped up on that. 


When I was a kid, I donated to Amnesty International with my allowance money because Bono told me to. So I’m not saying that’s right. I’m not saying. But he made me care about something and I then took action from that place. Now, did I do it because it was the right thing to do? Did I do it or did it. I was. I influenced. And that’s really what we’re talking about. The ability to be influenced by groups. Now you can take another set where you can say that there are. We can talk about political rallies. We could talk about the Nazis. That was a wa. We can talk about the political rallies that are going on now. We can talk about January 6th. Wah, wah. So if you are in that crowd, you’re not thinking as yourself. 


You’re thinking as part of this energetic mechanism that’s happening. So when RA talked about needing to make decisions as yourself, the role that human design has in this whole thing is pulling you out of the program. When you. Pulling you out of the cross of the sleeping Phoenix, pulling you out of the cross of planning, pulling you out of the wa. All of these energetic dynamics that are unconscious to us, they don’t matter if you are coming back to your truth, your authority, and you have to be aware of that. It has to be a process that you are committed to sticking with. So when someone comes along and feeds you a line of bullshit and you’re caught up in the group, that isn’t your thinking that you’re going to. Because your mind can help you rationalize anything. 


And if the leader of that energetic movement of that wa is telling you to believe something, you just might. But if you come back to your authority, what is true for you, and you are not conditioned and hopped up on the emotions of that crowd and hopped up on the ego of that leader, if you are able to be yourself and be clear, you will make whatever decision is correct for you. It’s not that you are making the correct choice that I think it’s the correct choice for you. And that’s all that matters. And that’s your contribution, not just to yourself, but to the whole. Because clean consciousness, that is something. This is very much a cross of a sleeping Phoenix theme. We are going into an age of intuition. We are going into an age of energetic integrity. Or not. 


Remember, everything is going to be about. We are either going to have these things or we are going to be in the shadow of them. So the work that we can do in this year leading up to it, and it starts with coming to that workshop and really understanding the depths of what is happening here. We’re going to break this down gate by gate, and I’m going to walk you through how we lead ourselves through this. But this change that we’re going through, this shift, how we use this year, is to understand what that looks like. It’s to decondition ourselves. It’s to feel your feelings. It is to understand some of these fundamental things. Go back and listen to the. The Human Design New Year episode that I did in January. 


Go listen to the January and February transit episodes I did with Christina because we talked about this. I have been Talking about the 25th gate, the gate of Innocence, the Gate of Universal Love. This is a gate. This is the Neptune in Aries gate that we’re getting, which is. It says that we’re lifting the veil on what universal love really is, on what innocence really is. And what it teaches us or what it’s asking us and begging us to do is to heal your wounds, because your wound is contributing to the greater wound. And I think one of the things that we are seeing right now is collective pain. We are seeing so many people feel helpless. We are seeing so many people in pain, physical pain, emotional pain. 


And some of us can spiritually bypass this and say, oh, I can’t look at that. I Can’t do that. And it’s good to have a healthy relationship with this. You can’t be looking at it all day long because you’ll drive yourself crazy and you’ll just be frying your nervous system. But it is important to look. It’s important not to look away. It’s important to really ask yourself what you are feeling right then, not whether you think it’s right or wrong. What do you feel? Does this feel good to you? Are you emotional about it? And can you deal with those emotions? Because what we are experiencing right now is we are experiencing a world that’s been full of hurt for a really long time, hasn’t felt that hurt. And now we are just going around triggering each other, saying, this hurts so bad. 


I can’t sit with it here. Hurt people, hurt people, right? We know that. I tell my son that all the time, never make a judgment about where somebody is coming from. We don’t know why people do the things that they do, but we do know that hurt people. That person might be going through something right now. So let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and protect yourself. Can we do the same? So I’m gonna lead this one here because this is a really big topic, and I feel like I said everything that I can at this point without going another 45 minutes to go deeper into all of these themes. So if you are interested in this, if this. If you are interested in leading people through this change, if you. 


Like I said, if you’re a coach, a spiritual healer, or anybody who guides people, you really should come to this workshop. All you have to do, just DM me the word phoenix on Instagram. I’m nicolelainofficial. Or go to nicolelaino.com phoenix. You can get it right there. You can sign up and buy workshop right there. This should be required coursework for you. This is like part of the core curriculum. Because otherwise you’re going to get swept up in the waves of what’s happening. You’re not going to be able to remain objective. You’re not going to be able to remain neutral, and you won’t know how to lead yourself, and then you won’t be able to lead others. There’s a real opportunity to be a leader for the future right now. And the work starts now. 


So if you want to get in on that, please come to the workshop. Please join us. We appreciate you with being there. It’s going to be great. And if, like I said, if you are part of the human design authority, Lab. Or if you are part of Aligned Brand Builder, which is my next level coaching program. Or of course, Business by Design. You guys all get this with your memberships, so please don’t buy it. You don’t need to. We have you covered. You’re already invited. You already have your pass. Okay. And if you want to join one of those, instead of just joining the workshop, you can do that too. And then you get all the workshops that I do. I teach a workshop every single month. We’re doing that for 2026. So you get to be a part of all of them. 


If you join the Human Design Authority Lab, you get all of them. Or if you join any of those programs. Okay, I’m going to leave it here. Thank you so much for being with us.
