For those who may not know, Human Design is a system that uses your birth date, time, and location to determine your energetic blueprint and how you’re designed to move through the world.

My Human Design type is a Reflector, which makes up only about 1% of the population.

What that means is that very few people truly understand what it’s like to experience life the way I do. Being a Reflector comes with incredible gifts, but also significant challenges.

As I’ve done my own healing work and cleared away old conditioning, I’ve noticed that my ability to pick up on energy/insight has become much stronger…. hence why my Mediumship skills seem to flourish overnight. My channel is clearer than it used to be. I’m able to sense, understand, and connect with things on a much deeper level.

This is a gift in the work that I do. It allows me to help others gain clarity, insight, and awareness in ways that can create meaningful change.

What people don’t always see is the other side of it.

For much of my life, I pushed past my feelings, ignored what I was picking up, and numbed parts of myself so I could fit into environments that weren’t aligned for me or make others more comfortable. The problem is that when you spend years overriding your inner knowing, eventually your body starts asking for your attention.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that not everyone is meant to receive what I see, feel, or sense. If I find myself repeating the same thing over and over, overexplaining, or trying to convince someone of something they aren’t ready to see, I now choose to step back. Not because I don’t care or because I’m angry. But because I’ve learned that constantly trying to be understood depletes my energy and disconnects me from myself.

Today, I can no longer push away the insight that I pick up. Because of that, I’ve learned that honoring my need for space, rest, boundaries, and self-care is a necessity. If I don’t take care of myself or give myself the distance I need when things feel off, my physical health suffers.

So while many people appreciate what I’m able to offer through my work, I also want people to understand that this gift comes with responsibility. It requires me to listen to myself, trust what I’m sensing, and honor my own needs, even when they don’t make sense to others.

It’s not always easy. It’s not always convenient. But it’s the reality of my experience, and I’m learning that honoring that reality is one of the most important things I can do for myself even if it ends up disappointing others.
