How it’s all coming together.
In the most collaborative and supportive way I could have dreamed - because that’s exactly what happened. No, none of us will be instantly financially set because of it, but we are feeling recognized, successful, satisfied, surprised, and I think Jennie might have gotten a little peace because we were technically two days ahead of schedule! I’m just in here to spruce things up and get some of my excitement out before the big launch of Issue 01 this evening at midnight

Take a look at our first cover ->
A place for all of us. Where you can be seen for your definition, have your authority respected, and get your wisdom out into the world.
One of my favourite parts about how this publication has come together is the correct mechanics of it all. I’m a Projector who hired a Manifestor about 6 months ago, and she helped me grow my business to the point of being able to take this project on, without her I couldn’t mentally sustain this.
By operating my channel with more and more clarity as I deconditioned, I started to get recognized for the specific mechanics of my channel - bringing people together, marketing, creating Human Design content, selling a product, working in booms, being willing to trial and error it, and one day - June 8, 2021 - it all came together.
I began recognizing and inviting others to join me in my process. I prioritized a core team of Projectors and called us The Guides and knew that we would need to bring in not only more energy, but more perspectives. I aimed at hiring rotating additional contributors that would span all types of definition so that we would have a more diversified team. When I started to feel potential areas for conflict, I knew it was time to bring on a Reflector, and I hoped the one I had laid the invitation for would accept. She did.
When I speak on correct mechanics, for me it’s not about how rigid or radical or technical you are in your experiment. It’s about not resisting the place where you feel the most comfortable. It’s about respecting the basic nature of who you are and how you can participate with as little resistance as possible. It’s about the Projectors guiding, the Reflectors reflecting, the Sacral responding and nurturing, the Manifestors being encouraged to give us a jump off point. It’s about embracing your view, your cognition, your motivation.
Sometimes the articles are written from someone’s not-self, or their transference and that’s okay. We acknowledge it and talk about it, and move forward. It’s a very Human thing to not be perfect at something. This magazine isn’t about getting it correct, it’s about giving it a chance. It’s about seeing things another way. It’s about showing you that there is another way to live out your Human Design.
I hope you get as absorbed reading it as we did writing it <3
