Some parts of Human Design and Gene Keys feel… crunchy. You read the original transmission, the channel descriptions, the line language—and something in you goes: “Ew. I don't want that. I'm not that.” And if you're not careful, that reaction can quietly turn into self-rejection… which blocks the very transformation you're here for.
In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP® and co-host Lauren Ammon talk about why “softening” or rewriting the system to make it more palatable can actually keep people stuck. Together, they explore how to hold uncomfortable language with maturity, use the shadow as soil, and let your experiment reveal what the words truly mean—without moralizing or bypassing the human experience.
