Episode 475
Have you ever noticed that the harder you try to force momentum, the more stuck and drained you feel?
In this episode, Nicole breaks down what it really means for Generators and Manifesting Generators to create momentum through the sacral response — and why so many people misunderstand what “following your energy” actually looks like in practice. She shares the subtle ways we disconnect from our bodies, overthink our next move, and accidentally drain the very energy we’re trying to create.
Nicole also explores the difference between fear and misalignment, and why many people assume they’re “off path” when they’re actually just caught in conditioning or mental pressure. Through relatable examples from content creation, business, and everyday life, she shows how presence becomes the key to unlocking clarity, creativity, and sustainable momentum.
You’ll also hear Nicole unpack why Human Design is meant to be integrated, not just intellectually understood. From sacral engagement to intuitive expression, this conversation highlights how understanding your design can help you stop forcing outcomes and start working with your natural energy in a way that feels lighter, more effective, and far more satisfying.
Plus, Nicole shares insights about the energetic shifts leading into 2027 and why learning how to guide yourself and others differently is becoming more important than ever. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from the way you used to work, create, or lead, this episode may help you understand why.

Episode 475:
Hello, and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and we’re here, just you and me, today, and we’re going to talk. This is specifically for my generators, my manifesting generators, and for anybody who wants to guide people. You know, do you have your. Maybe your kids or generators or your spouse or your mother or your friends? This is a great way for you to understand how these people operate, the sacral beings in your life, how they operate, and how do we create momentum. It’s ultimately what all generators want. Whether you’re a manifesting generator or a pure generator. We want momentum. We want to feel like our energy is being used efficiently. It’s being used well. That’s what’s satisfying to us, which is our signature.
So in this episode, I want to break down just some of the ways that I approach this, and how do we guide these people to something that is correct for them, where we’re not forcing, we’re following our alignment, but we are still moving. And I think that’s what we’re all looking for, right? We want to show up to life and show up to our businesses again. The way that I talk about human design, you know, we live in the 3D world. We live in the material world. We have to produce things, we have to create things. We have to make money. We’ve got to show up and do our work now. We don’t have to do that all the time. We don’t have to be on all the time. That is conditioning that we need to work through.
But we have things to get done. We have goals that we want to meet. So how do we do that in alignment? And we’re going to talk about that specifically for our sacral beings in this episode, because I just had a few things coming through with the way that I work, and I do it so naturally now. And of course, I’m talking about this inside business by design inside the human design lab. We just did a mini mastermind inside the lab which people could have bought into as well from the outside on type, because so many people. I think this is so interesting. We had so many questions coming inside the human design lab on type. They were all asking about they’re like, I don’t know if I know what my response feels like.
I don’t know what it feels like to really be in that sense of satisfaction all the time. And I want to break down some of that. It was a really great conversation. We did the Mastermind over two days. It was super fun. It was under a hundred dollars. It was a really great one. And people got a lot of value from it. And I think that one of the things that’ stands out to me from that, from those questions that we got from the response in the room. And we did it on all types. We didn’t just do it for sacrals, we did it for all type. It was a type mastermind.
And the thing that was, I think, impactful for me being in there and seeing how it worked and for the people who were attending it as well, is just how much we throw aside type. It’s funny, we talk about it a lot. We talk about being a generator, we talk about being a manifester, we talk about being a projector. But then we move on to the sexier stuff. We want to know what our unconscious Mars is and what’s our Saturn. And all of that is well and good, but the foundation of everything is type. Type is how you get momentum. You don’t get momentum from your Saturn. You get momentum from getting your energy into alignment where things feel easy.
When it doesn’t feel easy, then a lot of times we are misaligned or there’s something off, or we’re dealing with fear, we’re dealing with conditioning, which is a whole other kind of path that we could go down. But I don’t want to convolute too much in this episode. I want to keep it focused. But I just did a reel on my Instagram page, which you can go check out where I talked about. And I did an episode on this as well. That misalignment so often is misdiagnosed. It’s really fear. A lot of people are not misaligned. They are afraid. So we have to know what the difference is between those things. And all of that is found in your body. All of that is found in your presence. Okay, so before we get started, I wanted to actually share with you.
I’m going to be teaching a workshop on leadership in the new era. So this is a free workshop that we are doing. And this is all about the change that’s coming in 2027. But it’s more than just the change. It’s more about how we transform and how we Transform others in this new era where we’re going to. So as many of you know, if you’re a business owner or you’re thinking of being one, we have to look forward, we have to look ahead. Not at what’s happening right now, although that’s interesting, but what’s coming down the road so that we can be prepared for it, so that we can. One you start to normalize that in your nervous system. What’s coming, that’s important, you can start to deal with that. So you’re prepared.
But then you can also be saying like, how can I position myself to be ready for this change? So this is a free workshop. It’s just one day. It’s just like a one session. So it’s not like one of my five day things, but it’s free and it’s available to you. All you have to do is DM me the number “2027” on Instagram, I’m @nicolelainoofficial, or go to nicolelaino.com/2027 and you can grab it right there. You can register. Okay, so let’s get started. Let’s talk about the sacrals. Because this is at the heart of what we’ll be talking about in the workshop. What we’re going to be going over is really how do we approach this, right? How do we approach this new way of guiding ourselves and guiding others? Because this way is becoming more and more important.
You’re already probably feeling that, right? You’re probably feeling the things are changing. You are probably feeling the energy shifting. You are probably seeing that some things that it’s not just that they’re not working, it’s they don’t feel good anymore. Things that you used to do easily, that used to come like super easily to you, that felt really in alignment no longer do, because you’re different, but the energy is different as well. Go talk to some people. If you think it’s just you go talk to a few people, come to the workshop. You’re going to see all the people in that workshop are going to be feeling this as well. You’re going to see you’re not alone. So as sacrals, so how do we create momentum, right, without forcing, without pushing?
Because like I said, not only are these things not working anymore, they don’t feel good. Like maybe you could have pushed through before, maybe that was something that you were able to do. But you might find that you’re like, your heart’s not in it now and you’re wondering, do I even still want things? Do I even still want the things that are in front of me? Because I don’t want to push for it, I don’t want to work too hard for it. But then you get a sense like you fall into alignment somehow. So if you’re a sacral, all of a sudden, like, something will start to work and you’ll wonder, why is this different? Now, if you understand human design, you’ll see what’s different.
You’ll notice that your process is different, you will notice what shifted and then you can start to understand it. I don’t mean to make it sound like you’re gaming the system, but you’ll start to understand how you find your alignment versus either being caught in misalignment or by some good fortune ending up in alignment. Right? How do we position ourselves where we end up in alignment most of the time? Isn’t that a great question? And I’m going to share with you some of the things that I do and that we talked about in our Mini Mastermind that we hosted. What we do to find that alignment and to make it happen, so to speak, more often. How do we gain and build momentum?
And so I’m going to talk about kind of the main piece here and I’m going to talk about what most people do instead. Because when I say this, you might be saying, like, I knew that already. And I want you to recognize that just because you knew it informationally, it does not mean that you are doing it. Everything with the sacral comes down to presence. Are you present with the moment? Are you here or are you in your head? Are you wondering how you’re going to do it tomorrow? Are you wondering if it’s going to work? Are you? And this is not great for anybody, but for the sacral especially, you’re not paying attention.
The most thing, the most important thing, which is your sacral, which is your motor, which is the thing that turns on and makes everything feel juicy and when it’s off, makes everything feel difficult and suck. And we don’t want that. That’s not where momentum is. Momentum is in the tiny little moments of saying yes to the right things. Now again, it’s going to sound really like, oh, I knew that already. No words will kill your business or your life and happiness faster than, oh, I knew that already. But are you doing it? Is the question. You know it, but are you doing it? And the answer to that, even in the Mini Mastermind, what we landed on was no. People were not doing it. They knew it, but they Weren’t doing it. That’s what the Human Design Authority Lab is for.
What we built it for is to get people in the habit of checking in with their design. We have calls or something. Something’s going on. We’re messaging you. You’re like, in the energy of being aware of your design, being present to it, not from a mental place. But our job is bringing you back to your body, back to your truth all the time. That’s what we built it for. But if you’re not in there, then I hope you are doing this some other way yourself, that you are coming and you’re finding presence within yourself. So here’s what most people do. I have a list of tasks I need to get these things done. Maybe it’s something where I’ll use content, a podcast, creating something. Right. That needs creative energy. Okay, so what we do is we say, I have to get this done today.

So I have to film and record this podcast today, for example. Okay. So I sit down and I say, what am I gonna talk about on the podcast? Do I have a list? Maybe I’ll make a list. And now I’m like, I’m trying to think about it. And what you’ll feel here is to feel. If you are a sacral, as you think about things and you try to think about it, you’re going to feel the energy pour out of your body. All of that energy that you had previously, all of the inspiration, everything seeps out of you, seemingly feeling like it will never return again. Okay, that is because the minute you go into your head, all the magic stops. You are not in your body and your sacral is not on. You’re not working with it on.
This is why doing things like going for a walk or engaging with something and actually like living your life is the answer for most sacrals. Because it turns the motor on. That’s when you’ll suddenly get that lightning bolt kind of idea will land on you, like, unexpectedly. Doing the unexpected thing leads to the result that you thought you would get sitting at a desk trying to figure it out. And it came to you when you did the thing that made absolutely no sense. And your logical part of your brain or someone from the outside world that doesn’t understand this stuff is like, why aren’t you applying yourself? You’re not focusing. We cannot focus. Generators cannot focus. If we aren’t engaged with what we are doing, what’s actually happening.
When you’re trying to think about something and it’s not coming and you feel this urge to get up and do something else. But you make yourself sit there. You are in frustration. Now, this is something we all know. We’re not doing it, though. We stay in that frustration and we sit there and we try to figure it out. I just have to get this one thing out, and it happens. It happens to me. I’m just good at recognize it. I witness it, and I go, oh, look at that. Look what I’m doing right now. I’m trying to make it happen. That’s not the way. What the way is to go engage with something that will turn the motor on, will get you excited. Momentum comes from turning the motor on, getting the sacral to be engaged in something.
And you’ll find everything in your life starts to feel easier, more fun, more effective, and all the things. It’ll be fun, it’ll be a good time. You will start to feel like, I can do anything. Okay, now let’s use that podcast example again. So I’m gonna record my podcast, but it’s not coming. I don’t have the idea. But then I’m like, oh, well, I was gonna write this, you know, article for my substack, and I kind of have energy for that. Like, that sort of excites me. But that’s not on my list for today. Right? Like, that’s not the thing I needed to get done today. So logically, my mind would say, don’t do that now. You’ve got to get the podcast thing done. Okay, that would be a fatal flaw. That would be a fatal error, right?
Because the way is to do the thing that is the yes. The yes is write the substack post. Okay, so I write the substack article now. I got all these juices flowing Now I have 10 ideas now. I have all of this energy flowing. Now when I sit down to record, everything is coming through. I’m recording this episode now. I hope you hear how the momentum is picking up. The more fun I’m having. My sacral got very engaged with this episode because as I started talking about it when I started off, I don’t have any notes for this, so I’m not reading off anything. It’s purely energy. I’m just sort of going with this is a topic I don’t really need cues for.
I intentionally created this episode to just feel free and fun, engage my sacral, because I know that the momentum in this is going to carry me. The more excited I get, I won’t have to think about what I’m saying. Now my throat connection is through the spleen. I do better without notes. I do better with letting my intuition speak. Okay. I also know that I have some of that activated in the transits right now. So this is how we can have fun with this stuff. Right? But it all starts with.
So even if I didn’t know that my 5720 channel was activated through the transits, even if I didn’t know that my spleen to throat connection meant that I was an intuitive speaker, even if I didn’t know those things, and I only knew that I had to engage my sacral and be excited about what I was doing, talking about, or working on. And I focused only on that I wouldn’t have to know all those other things. Right? What knowing those other things helps me with. And this is where like going more. And this is how we create transformation with human design, which is what that workshop is going to be about. It’s going to be about how do we create transformation with human design in this new era. Era.
And right now, what do we need to be doing right now to prepare ourselves for this new era and to create real transformation for people on the way to 2027 and beyond? What do we have to do? That is what the workshop is going to be about. But how we create transformation with people is. Then we can take it further. So I know that I have a spleen to throat connection. What does that mean? It means I’m an intuitive speaker. Why does that help me? Well, I won’t worry myself or bother myself with trying to make sure everything is super scripted. I won’t wonder why when I script, it doesn’t come out right and I hate it. I won’t wonder. I am my most magnetic. I am my most free and fun and connected when I’m just talking and I’m letting it fly.
So it gives me permission to do that and it doesn’t make me feel like I’m not prepared. Right. You get to deeply understand yourself through human design when you understand yourself not from an intellectual way. We don’t need more information. We need integration. That is the way that I teach human design. I teach integrated human design, not informational human design. Because information just gets you more in your head, which is exactly where you don’t need to go. No one needs to spend more time up there. We need to know how to integrate it into our daily life and the lives of the people we care about. Because we know what an impact this system can make on our lives. And it makes an impact. Now, I promise you, it’s going to make an immeasurable impact after 2027.
We’re already feeling that, but we are going to feel that big time in less than a year. So if you’d like to come to that workshop, DM me “2027” on Instagram, I’m @nicolenoofficial. Or go to nicolelaino.com/2027. This is all linked up in the show notes, by the way, and you can register there. It’s totally free. So this is a free workshop and it’s only one session, so please come. There will be replays, so if you can’t make it, you can watch the replay for a limited time. All right. I hope you join us there and I hope that you got a little bit of a glimpse of how sacrals create momentum. Momentum comes from the motor being on. Sacral is a motor. The more it’s on, the more energy it generates. Hence the name generator.

It generates energy when it is off and we try to work with it off, which means you’re frustrated, it is draining energy and we get exactly the opposite. And that’s how we end up with generators who wonder why they’re tired all the time and why they’re not getting responses. And that is something that will be a perpetual downward spiral for you. You have to engage your sacral, go have some fun, enjoy yourself, do this thing that energy is there for now. It will generate more and more energy for you and you can start to ride that wave. You create the. That’s the beauty of it. And of course there’s more nuance to this.
If you’re an emotional authority, it’s going to be different if you’re like all of the stuff that is all relevant, but at the core, at the very base that it all stands on it’s type following your sacral. So I hope this inspired you to play around with this, to not be precious with it, to get in there and really work with this and to engage your sacral. Today, go do something fun and I hope that it inspires you to join us for the workshop because it’s going to be really cool, really fun. And like I said, you can catch the replay if you cannot join us live. All right, have a wonderful rest of your day, everyone. I appreciate you and remember, in order to have an unshakable 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.
