Reparenting Yourself with Human Design

In the beginning, there was mess.
Misalignment, fear, resistance and a deep seated bitterness from not living a life that was particularly worth living.
Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t homeless, jobless or in a relationship that didn’t serve me. I wasn’t trapped in anything but my own mind.
I had a pretty good life… but when you have everything that we are supposed to have, looking in from the outside, it doesn’t mean we are happy, fulfilled or that we love ourselves.
Inside my mind was a continuous barrage of insults and I would berate myself on a daily basis, putting so much pressure on myself to perform how others wanted me to.
My corporate marketing job was just that.. a job. No recognition. Just an energetic drain that wouldn’t allow me to do anything else but work and slump in front of the TV at night.
Was My Own Business The Solution?
I was continuously passed over at work for the recognition that I wanted, so I figured the solution was my own business. I’ve always been entrepreneurial, ever since I was an AVON girl in my teens, or when I went round trying to sell bunches of wild flowers to neighbours at age 10.
When I started my marketing coaching business, I thought I had all the strategies I needed to succeed, quit my job and have a whole lot of fun doing it. I had been in marketing for years, and I did actually enjoy the psychology of marketing for sure. Plus I was also in the business support sector, so I was literally surrounded by business advisers!
So very surprisingly, I failed miserably in my marketing coaching side hustle.
And that’s the problem; it was a hustle.
A year after I started my business, failing to get clients and struggling to show up online consistently, I found Human Design.
Enter the Human Design System
Although it would take me many years to reparent myself using the Human Design system, I knew in that first moment of seeing my Human Design bodygraph that I had struck gold. I knew there was freedom in all those colours and symbols and numbers!
I realised I had been living life all wrong…
I wasn’t meant to follow cookie-cutter launch strategies, or push myself to exhaustion (no one is, right?!) or drop my prices just to get a yes. I saw how my energy had been misaligned from the start—how I was attracting the wrong clients, how I was ignoring my body’s signals, and how I had been completely disconnected from my self-worth.
The biggest revelation? I wasn’t broken. I was just out of alignment.

Reparenting Myself
As I started applying Human Design to how I worked, how I showed up, and how I connected with others, my business began to shift. I started attracting soul-aligned clients who saw my value. I stopped hustling and started guiding. I found my rhythm, my voice, my flow.
Within 2 years, I had started working 50% less than I did at my corporate job (from 10 to just 5 hours a day) and I earnt 3 times more! And whilst this is my very successful and tangible gain from reparenting myself, it’s nothing compared to the feeling I have today.
The knowing in my body that I am truly doing what my soul desires.
The unapologetic happiness that I have which infects those around me and deepens my relationships.
The ability to receive outrageous compliments like Charlie you’re a genius!
The list goes on…
The Gift of Human Design
This is the gift of Human Design: not to fix you, but to return you to yourself. To help you remember who you were before the world told you who to be. The ability to remember who you are not but also be empowered by who you have the potential to be.
So if you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or unseen—know this: you are not the problem.
Your magic isn’t missing. It’s just buried under strategies and stories that don’t belong to you.
Come back to yourself.
That’s where your power is.
