Healing by Design | Shared Wisdom from Life's Experiences

Surviving isn’t just about making it through the day. It’s about knowing what’s truly important, letting go of what no longer helps you, and moving forward, even when things feel uncertain. Over the years, I’ve learned that true survival is about facing fears, letting go of things that hold you back, and being ready to adapt to change when it comes. I’ve been through my own journey, and I want to share how you can do the same. Let Go of What’s Holding You Back We all hold on to things that quietly weigh us down— old jobs, relationships, even patterns of thinking that once felt safe but now just keep us stuck. I used to do the same. I clung to things because they gave me a sense of control or comfort, even when they were hurting me. But the truth is, anything that costs your peace will eventually cost you more than it's worth— especially when the pain is coming from those closest to you. When I began releasing what no longer supported my growth, I could finally breathe. It ...

For most of my life, I believed success meant handling everything myself, acting fast, and pushing through obstacles . If I wanted something done, I did it myself. If an opportunity showed up, I took it—no hesitation, no second thoughts. I was convinced that the only way forward was through sheer force and determination . At first, this mindset seemed to work. But by the time I turned 32, I hit a wall. I was exhausted, drained, and stuck in a cycle that no longer made sense. The survival tactics I had relied on weren’t sustainable. That’s when Human Design and BG5 entered my life—and everything changed. Why I Adopted a Survival Mindset I didn’t just wake up one day with the belief that I had to power through life alone —I picked it up from the world around me. 🔹 Society rewards action —hustle, quick decisions, and constant productivity. 🔹 Work culture pushes independence —if you want something done right, do it yourself.  🔹 People admire resilience —but only the kind that looks...

  Reflectors, or Evaluators, are not just rare; they are survival specialists in a world that often moves too fast for deep reflection. Their heightened sensitivity allows them to perceive energy shifts before others even realize change is coming. This ability is both a gift and a challenge—without proper alignment, Evaluators can become overwhelmed, mirroring instability instead of providing insight. Thriving Requires the Right Environment Survival for Evaluators isn’t about adapting to their surroundings; it’s about choosing the right surroundings. Much like a tracker reading the land before setting up camp, Evaluators must assess environments carefully. Toxic settings drain their energy, leading to burnout, while authentic, high-frequency spaces empower them to function as wise observers and energetic stabilizers. Survival Tactics for Reflectors Observe, Reflect, Adapt: Evaluators operate on lunar cycles, meaning clarity comes over time. Immediate decisions can lead to misalign...

You’re Here to Start, Not Finish As a Manifestor, you’re wired to take action, set things in motion, and spark change. But here’s the catch—you’re not built to do all the work yourself. Your strength is in getting things going, not grinding through every little detail. When you try to push past your natural limits, frustration builds, resistance rises, and burnout is inevitable. Understanding your energy isn’t just a strategy—it’s survival. Know How You Work (So You Don’t Work Against Yourself) Manifestors are the ones who make the first move. You see what needs to happen before others do, and when you act, people feel it. Your energy creates ripples—sometimes waves. This is why informing people before you act is a game-changer. It helps things flow instead of hitting walls. When your energy is aligned, you feel at peace—things just work . But when it’s off, anger shows up, warning that something’s blocking your path. Instead of ignoring it or pushing through, use that signal to adjust...

Your Energy Is Your Survival Tool—Use It Wisely As a Generator, you have one of the most powerful energy reserves in the world. But survival isn’t just about having energy—it’s about using it right . You’re designed to build, create, and keep things moving, but if you keep forcing your energy into the wrong things, it will drain you instead of fueling you. Frustration? Burnout? Exhaustion? These aren’t random problems—they’re signals. Just like a survivalist reading the land before making a move, you need to read your energy before committing. What excites you? What drains you? When you start listening to those answers, you stop just “getting through the day” and start thriving . Survival Skills for Generators 🔎 Respond, Don’t Chase – Ever seen a hunter waste energy running after prey instead of waiting for the right shot? That’s what happens when you chase opportunities instead of responding to the ones meant for you . The best moves come when you wait for something that feels ...

  Projectors—also called Advisors—make up about 21% of the population. Unlike Builders, who generate consistent energy through action, Projectors thrive by observing, guiding, and offering insight. But survival as a Projector isn’t about just having wisdom—it’s about knowing when to share it and when to wait. If you’re a Projector struggling to find purpose, you’re not alone.

When you’re in survival mode, your brain is wired to protect you, not necessarily to move you forward . You react, brace for impact, and focus on making it through the next challenge. But if survival becomes your default, you might end up stuck—always scanning for threats instead of building the future you want . If your life feels like a cycle of struggle, it might be time to shift your mindset . Here are four signs that it's time for a change: 1. Your Perspective Is Off—Seeing Life Through Distractions Survival mode distorts perspective . Instead of seeing what’s correct for you , you focus on what’s missing, what you lack, or what you think you "should" have . You push for life to happen the way you want it to, rather than seeing things clearly and responding to what is actually needed . In Human Design , I have a Survival Perspective, and that   means that when I'm aligned, I naturally recognize:  ✅ What is needed for survival   ✅ Who and what can endure   ✅ What...
