The #1 Global Human Design Podcast for women ready to build success on their own terms.
Hosted by Human Design expert and business mentor Emma Dunwoody, this is where the personal growth conversation gets real. If you’ve outgrown the hustle, the formulas, and the pressure to keep proving yourself, this is your permission slip to lead, earn, and expand in alignment with how you’re actually designed.
Each week, Emma shares powerful solo episodes (think: unfiltered wisdom, grounded strategy, and spicy rants you didn’t know you needed) alongside guest interviews with brilliant minds leading the new paradigm of business, leadership, and success.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
Use your Human Design to create consistent income and impact
Stop outsourcing your power and start making clear, embodied decisions
Build a business that moves with you, not one that drains you
Reclaim your energy, magnetism, and momentum (without overriding your nervous system)
Emma’s unique approach, Transformational Human Design™, blends HD, behavioral science, the Gene Keys, coaching, and real-life application so you don’t just learn your chart… you start living it.
This is where clarity replaces confusion, where alignment becomes your business strategy, and where success stops being something you chase, and starts becoming who you are.

#568 Past Life Regression Explained with Boris Walter
2026/10/16
This one took me somewhere I've been fascinated by and a little scared of for years: past life regression. My guest is Boris Walter, a psychotherapeutic consultant who has guided over a thousand hypnosis sessions and who stumbled into this work almost against his will. I share my own past life experience that shifted a lifelong behaviour pattern instantly, and then Boris takes us right into what this work actually is.
We get into what past life regression really is (and why hypnosis isn't the scary mind-control thing the movies sold us), the case that almost made Boris quit, how he spoke to an entity coming through a client and helped shift a whole family lineage, why our gifts get shut down in childhood, and the pattern he sees across every single session: judgment waiting to be resolved into love. It's deep, a little wild, and exactly the kind of conversation my community lives for.
What You'll Learn:
What past life regression actually is, and why hypnosis isn't the loss of control we fearHow Boris accidentally fell into this work, and what a thousand-plus sessions taught himThe case that almost made him quit, and the ethics of what clients should and shouldn't rememberHow healing a trauma in one lifetime (or one ancestor) can shift an entire lineageWhy our intuitive gifts get shut down in childhood, and how to reclaim themThe pattern underneath every session: judgment waiting to be resolved into loveChapters:

#567 Tori Dunlap on How Women Build Real Wealth (Her First $100K)
2026/10/08
I've been deep in money, investing and AI lately, so I brought in someone I've followed for years: Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K, author of the New York Times bestseller Financial Feminist, and host of the number one money podcast for women in the world. Tori does money with a middle finger up to the patriarchy, and this conversation is a masterclass in why your financial power is your freedom.
We get into how Tori saved her first $100K and became a millionaire by 27, why money is a learned skill and not something men are magically better at, the high earner trap that catches women making great money, why you need to keep some of your own money in any relationship, the two-step mistake that leaves people thinking they're invested when they're not, and why the best investors actually look like women: patient, generous and self-aware.
What You'll Learn:
Why money is a learned skill, and how women are conditioned to give their financial power awayHow Tori saved her first $100K, and the autopilot savings habit you can start todayThe high earner trap: why making good money can leave you with nothing to show for itWhy you need your own money in every relationship, and the yours/mine/ours approachThe two-step investing mistake that leaves money sitting in financial purgatoryWhy patience, generosity and self-awareness make women excellent investorsChapters:

#566 October 2026 Transits: Your Human Design & Astrology Forecast
2026/10/01
The transits are back. After a month off, I'm joined again by Yvette for the Human Design transits and Lauren for the astrology, and October 2026 is a big one. Coming out of eclipse season, this month is all about slowing down, getting out of your head and into your body, and asking what you actually want to be devoted to.
We get into the splenic gates lighting up one after another (instinct, intuition and evolution), the powerful manifestation window from the 9th to the 14th when almost the whole bodygraph is switched on, the Libra new moon, Venus retrograde in Scorpio and what it stirs up around money, fear and what you're afraid to lose, Mars moving into Leo, and the Mercury retrograde landing late in the month. If you take one thing from this episode: slow down, reflect, and let the old stuff go.
What You'll Learn:
Why the splenic gates switching on make October about instinct, intuition and evolution, not starting new thingsThe high-energy manifestation window from Oct 9–14, when nearly the whole bodygraph is lit upWhat Venus retrograde in Scorpio is really asking you (what are you afraid to lose?)How the Libra new moon, Mars in Leo and the late-month Mercury retrograde shape the monthHow to work with retrogrades instead of fearing them, and why slowing down is the whole messageChapters:

#565 Your Human Design Strategy Is the Money Map No One Taught You to Read
2026/09/28
This is episode two of the Money and Human Design series, and today is all about your Human Design Strategy, the most powerful and most overlooked key to making money in alignment with who you are. You've been taught to go outside yourself for the right money strategy, to copy the expert, the mentor, the guru. The truth is the strategy you're looking for is already inside you, and in Human Design it's literally called your strategy.
I break down what strategy actually is, why your mind keeps talking you out of following it, and exactly how it works for each type: initiate and inform for Manifestors, respond for Generators, respond and inform for Manifesting Generators, wait for the invitation for Projectors, and wait a lunar cycle for Reflectors. Strategy and authority are your two golden bullets, and this episode is where you learn to read the money map no one ever taught you to read.
What You'll Learn:
What your Human Design strategy actually is, and why it's the money map no one taught you to readThe strategy for each of the types, and how each one becomes magnetic to moneyWhy following your strategy can feel unsafe, and how to drop out of your head and into your bodyWhy strategy is a felt experience you can already find evidence of in your pastHow strategy and authority work together as your simplest path to wealth (authority is next episode)Chapters:
00:00 — The Money and Human Design series continues: did you take imperfect action?02:21 — Why Human Design gets overcomplicated, and why you don't need the detail04:50 — The strategy you're searching for is already inside you06:41 — Why following your strategy feels unsafe: conditioning and the nervous system07:58 — Strategy is a felt experience, not a thought14:02 — Your strategy is the money map no one taught you to read15:20 — Manifestors: initiate and inform19:38 — Generators: respond to what lights you up26:20 — Manifesting Generators: respond and inform28:31 — Projectors: wait for the invitation, and why self-worth is the money move35:43 — Reflectors: wait a lunar cycle, your 28-day money runway39:17 — The train metaphor: how all the types work together42:17 — ClosingGet Started:

#564 Matthew James Bailey on Human Design and AI: Can AI Read Your Soul?
2026/09/24
Human Design and AI came together for me in this conversation with my friend Matthew James Bailey, who has worked in AI since 1996, wrote a playbook on ethics for AI, and spent time in ICU this year fighting for his life. We get into what AI can and can't do for your inner world, why Matthew calls it an artificial intellect, and what happened when he took Maggie for a test drive and asked her about his dream clients.
This one is for you if you use AI in your business and feel uneasy about how much power people are handing over to it. You'll hear why I see your Strategy and Authority as your built-in truth detector in a noisy world, what Matthew thinks the tech giants have forgotten, and a simple practice he shares to help you feel at home in yourself again.
What You'll Learn:
- Why Matthew calls AI an artificial intellect, and what that means for how much you trust it
- How your Human Design Strategy and Authority help you stay sovereign when everyone else hands their power to tech
- What Matthew found when he tested Maggie AI on his dream client
- Why Matthew believes ethics come down to energy and vibration, and whether people choose AI tools based on ethics
- The hero's journey in reverse, and why an awakening still comes with lessons to learn

00:01 - Welcome back, Matthew James Bailey
01:59 - Matthew's path: AI since 1996, ethics for AI and NASA
07:46 - Why Matthew calls AI an intellect
10:26 - The health crisis, the ICU and an hour in an MRI

42:16 - Knowing, and living in two realities at once
46:45 - Why we rebuilt Maggie, and do people care about AI ethics?
49:29 - Ethics as energy and vibration (approx.)
52:19 - The Soul Radiance Tool and quantum computing
56:35 - Can the powers that be keep up with rising consciousness?
01:01:38 - Are we already in the existential crisis?
01:05:58 - The hero's journey backwards, and the heroine's journey
01:14:28 - Nothing to do, only something to let go of
01:19:08 - AI gives us back the gift of time, and Gate 55

#563 How to Make Money According to Your Human Design Type
2026/09/23
This is the start of my brand new series on money and Human Design, two of my all-time favourite things. If you've ever wondered why the money strategies everyone else swears by never quite work for you, this episode is your answer. The way you're designed to make money is specific to your Human Design type, and once you understand your own energy you stop forcing someone else's model and start magnetising what's already yours.
In this first episode we stay at the macro level: your type. I walk through how money comes differently to Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors and Reflectors, why gate 55 holds the key to money and energy, and how I made $2 million before I ever built a funnel by following my design instead of the rulebook. This is the foundation for the whole series, so start here.
What You'll Learn:
- Why there's no one-size-fits-all money strategy, and how your Human Design type changes the way money actually comes to you
- How each of the five types becomes magnetic to money (and what blocks each one)
- What gate 55 teaches about authenticity, energy and abundance
- How to use your strategy, signature and not-self theme as real-time money indicators
- The shift from doing to receiving, and why now is the time for it
Chapters:
00:00 - Dialling into authenticity for abundance and freedom
00:17 - The money and Human Design series begins
02:50 - What two months off taught me about receiving (and the 1.5M downloads we'd been missing)
06:07 - Why I finally committed to teaching money
06:56 - How I made $2 million before I ever built a funnel
08:29 - Gate 55: authenticity is the real money magnet
10:51 - Money and your Type (the macro level)
12:21 - Manifestors and money
14:04 - Generators and Manifesting Generators and money
17:20 - Projectors and money
19:25 - Reflectors and money
21:24 - Using strategy, signature and not-self theme as money indicators
24:31 - You are the authority

#562 Clara Schroeder on Why Nature Calms An Overwhelmed Mind
2026/08/20
In today's episode I'm joined by Clara Schroeder, ecotherapist and author of Re-Nature, for a conversation about nature, the nervous system, and why time outdoors does far more than clear your head.
Clara calls it the more than human world, and she takes us through what happens in the brain when we're in it. We get into the neuroscience of fractal patterns and why the predictability of a tree canopy or a wave settles the amygdala, the difference between exercising outdoors and relating to nature, and how she's seen nature connection ease loneliness, low mood and an overstimulated nervous system. She shares her own path through clinical depression and her recovery from a traumatic brain injury, plus the distinction she draws between physiological burnout and the ecological kind, the sort that comes from forgetting where we come from.
We also talk horses as healers, flow state, and the small daily practices that bring nature in when you live in a city: a nature altar, a colour walk, a moment of presence with your morning cup of tea.
If you've done all the inner work and still feel wired and disconnected from yourself, this is your reset.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach
Big love,

#561 Cameron Branch on The 2027 Alien Deception
2026/08/13
In today's episode I'm sitting down with a fellow Aussie, Cameron Branch, host of The Hard Yarns Podcast, for a wide-ranging conversation about aliens, disclosure, past lives and what it takes to trust your own inner knowing in a very noisy world. Cameron shares his take on what he believes is coming with contact and disclosure, and where he reckons the real deception sits. Then, live on air, I read his Human Design, because underneath the big topic runs a much simpler thread we keep returning to: your authentic self is the answer.
As a Manifesting Generator with sacral authority, Cameron is built to lead with his gut instead of his mind, and his gate of opinion means he is here to share what he thinks without needing to be right. We get into how you discern truth when the news, social media and even well-meaning experts are all fighting for your attention, why going first gives other people permission to do the same, and what it looks like to come back to your own authority rather than handing it away.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach

#560 The Visionary Breakthrough Sessions: Stop Forcing Clarity
2026/08/10
This is The Visionary Breakthrough Sessions, a live, intimate coaching experience with members of my private HDx Collective. In each session, we decode the energetic patterns holding them back and unlock the identity shift required to lead, scale, and succeed in alignment with their Human Design. These sessions are by application only and exclusively available inside the HDx Collective.
👉🏼 Join The HDx Collective here to apply for your own breakthrough session: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/collective
In today's episode, I coach Rachael, who runs a catering business with her husband that looks good on paper but was built through force, and now finds herself in functional burnout with one foot in it and one foot in something of her own.
Rachael is a 5/1 Emotional Generator.
We get into the real reason she can't hand anything over, the story that quality drops the moment she delegates, and why that is an identity belief, not the truth. We get into building the systems that let her opt out in small steps, then go deeper into her largely unconscious chart, why forcing mental clarity about how her body feels will never work, and how to rebuild trust with her sacral when it has been running on empty.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach

#559 Why Everything Feels Hard Now (It's a Good Sign)
2026/08/06
In today's episode, Jeff and Clayton from FLFE are back, and we get into why so many of us feel like everything has gone hard, sticky and heavy right now. Their answer is a relief: consciousness is rising, and when it rises, it gets tested. The solar system, the planet and this part of the galaxy are all climbing, which is exactly why you might feel stuck on a plateau, or like the pressure has quietly cranked up. It is not a sign you are off track. It is a sign you are right on it.
We talk about trusting your inner authority when you can no longer tell what is real, setting smaller goals and going back to basics, and getting brutally honest with your own shadow while still softening on yourself. Then we turn to AI from a consciousness perspective: what it reflects back about us, where it genuinely helps, where it can never replace a human, and why growth through joy might matter more now than any amount of hard work.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach

#558 The Visionary Breakthrough Sessions: Scaling as a Manifestor
2026/08/03
This is The Visionary Breakthrough Sessions, a live, intimate coaching experience with members of my private HDx Collective. In each session, we decode the energetic patterns holding them back and unlock the identity shift required to lead, scale, and succeed in alignment with their Human Design. These sessions are by application only and exclusively available inside the HDx Collective.
👉🏼 Join The HDx Collective here to apply for your own breakthrough session: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/collective
In today's episode, I coach Kerrie, a leadership coach who can feel a bigger business forming, one that goes beyond one-to-one work to change how organisations lead, without burning herself out to build it.
Kerrie is a 4/6 Emotional Manifestor.
We get into why her design makes her the initiator and the face, the one who builds the frameworks and the IP and then brings others in to execute, rather than doing everything herself. We look at the real question underneath the fear, not "do I need a team" but "what do I need right now," and why the right people show up once the work exists. And why she keeps waiting for a sign to move, when the knowing is already hers.
If you have ever felt a bigger vision pulling at you and stalled because you didn't yet have the team, the proof or the permission to begin, this one is for you.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach
Big love,
Mxx

#557 August 2026 Energy Update: Who You Build With, Who You Cut
2026/07/30
In today's episode I'm joined by Yvette Mayer (HD Transits Expert) and Lauren Hansen (Resident Astrologer) for the August energy update, and the whole month turns on one question: who are you building it with? In Human Design we move out of the throat-centre gates and into the quarter of duality, so the focus shifts off what you're making and onto your relationships. In astrology it lands from the same direction, with Venus moving home into Libra and Mars dropping into Cancer. It's a relational, reflective and at times emotional month, with two eclipses reshaping who's in your corner. The gates and dates we cover are listed below, so you can check them against your own chart.
KEY DATES FOR AUGUST
Astrology (with Lauren)
23 Jul: Mercury stations direct, carrying easier communication into August.Late Jul into early Aug: Venus square Mars (Venus in Virgo, Mars in Gemini), over-stimulation and a pull toward discernment, quality over quantity.6 Aug to 9 Sep: Venus at home in Libra, collaboration, harmony and easier relating.6 to 11 Aug: Venus trine Uranus and Pluto, opposite Neptune. Surprising new people and real chemistry, with a reminder to check the details before you idealise anyone.11 Aug to 28 Sep: Mars in Cancer, driven by what and who you care about, protective of home and family, with a passive-aggression risk to watch.12 Aug: Leo solar eclipse (new moon) with the south node and Jupiter. Confidence, creativity and identity, letting go of an old way of leading to grow into the next.15 Aug: Mercury conjunct Jupiter in Leo, a strong day for announcements, pitching, launching and sharing your voice.19 to 22 Aug: Venus opposite Saturn in Aries, defining relationships, setting boundaries and keeping what lasts.23 to 29 Aug: Sun square Uranus, restlessness and aha moments, so ground yourself before any big impulsive calls.28 Aug (AUS): Pisces lunar eclipse (full moon) near the north node, squared by Uranus. Big emotions, with surrender and boundaries needed at once.Human Design (with Yvette)
Throughout August: Gates 30 and 41 (root centre and solar plexus), fantasy and quantum possibility, grounding what is possible into reality.Throughout August: Gate 33 moving into Jupiter, reflective, looking-back and storytelling energy.First half, around 11 to 12 Aug: Gate 7 (leadership by invitation) with Gate 29 in the south node (commitment, and what to release).Mid month: Gate 4 in the ajna, creative problem solving and spotting your patterns.Late Aug: Gate 59 (intimacy and trust built over time) with Gate 57 through Venus (intuition and instinct).End of month: Gate 40 (boundaries and discernment) and Gates 39 and 55 turning on (the channel of emoting).I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach

#556 The Visionary Breakthrough Sessions: Why Rest Feels Unsafe
2026/07/27
Welcome to another Visionary Breakthrough Session, a live, intimate coaching experience with members of my private HDx Collective. I coach one member live on air, working through what is really going on beneath the surface, so you can witness a genuine breakthrough as it happens and take whatever resonates into your own life and business.
If you want this kind of coaching, come and join us inside the HDx Collective: https://www.emmadunwoody.com/collective
In today's episode, I coach Rachel, who has done deep identity work and knows exactly who she is, but under pressure she still snaps back to the old pattern.
Rachel is a 6/2 Emotional Projector.
We unpack how a new identity becomes your automatic default, why staying productive can be a clever way to avoid the discomfort of stillness, why rest feels unsafe when your success was built on hustle, proving and doing and how a dysregulated nervous system, rather than mindset, is often the real thing keeping you from slowing down. As an Emotional Projector with emotional authority, Rachel has huge capacity to feel, so we explore how releasing long-held emotion and finding safety in the body can happen through joy instead of hard graft.
If you have ever known exactly who you want to be yet snapped back into old habits the moment life gets busy, cannot sit still without reaching for something to do, or feel guilty when you rest, this one is for you.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach
Big love,
Mxx

#555 Ainslie MacLeod on Empaths, Narcissists and Past Lives
2026/07/23
In today's episode I'm joined again by Ainslie MacLeod, a past life psychic who works with spirit guides to help people find their purpose and heal what they have carried in from other lifetimes. We talk about the shift in consciousness happening right now, why old souls are feeling the state of the world so heavily, and the pattern almost every empath will recognise: the narcissist does not create your wound, they find one that is already there and keep pressing on it.
Ainslie explains why healing that fear at the past life level changes what you attract, and why fight, flight, freeze and fawn are old fears being triggered rather than proof something is wrong with you. We get into boundaries that hold once the calm settles, his course for empaths recovering from narcissistic abuse, and his new podcast Psychics Not Saints, which came out of being over the performance of spirituality. I bring it back to Human Design too: the solar plexus mutation, the deconditioning we all need around hard work, and why joy is not the reward at the end, it is the point.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach
Big love,
Mxx

#554 The Weekly Wrap: What Actually Makes Your Human Design Type
2026/07/20
In today's Weekly Wrap, I break down the mechanics that actually create your Human Design type, and why so many people who love Human Design have never been taught this part.
I walk you through what makes a Manifestor, a Generator, a Manifesting Generator, a Projector and a Reflector, right down to the definition. A motor connected to the throat. A defined sacral. The splits that change everything. Once you understand this, you start to see why two Projectors can show up in completely different ways, and why we cannot put ourselves in a neat little type box. Your definition matters just as much as your type.
I also share the seven money principles from The Richest Man in Babylon, written back in 1926 and still holding up, because the principles have never changed. We get into why AI is a skill worth building now rather than later, a LinkedIn growth strategy we are running inside HDx that you can set up with five to ten friends this week, and why getting your eyes on your business metrics is the thing that lets your brain finally see the evidence of your own growth.
I trust you will get what you need from this episode, and make sure you come let me know how it resonated with you on instagram @the_human_design_coach
Big love,
Mxx
