Remember that show What Not to Wear? Well… I used to do the coaching equivalent: try to give people their entire Human Design chart in one session. But what I’ve learned—through coaching, practice, and my own design—is that real transformation doesn’t come from a firehose of info. It comes from the right insight at the right time.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I’ve restructured how I work with clients, how your Human Design is meant to unfold over time, and what I’ve been creating behind the scenes that I’m so excited to share.

Listen in if…

– You’ve ever felt overwhelmed by too much too fast

– You’re craving a slower, more grounded way to learn

Welcome back to Unfolding.

I'm Erica Voell, a confidence

and wellbeing coach and a

3

certified human design guide.

4

And I work with women so that they

can say no to what drains them because

5

they learn to trust their decisions

and understand their unique strengths.

6

Together we clear old patterns and

they learn how they're designed

7

to make confident decisions and

start putting themselves first.

8

Because I believe your human design

is your roadmap and your permission to

9

do things differently and confidently.

10

So let's get into today's episode.

11

Do you remember that show "What Not

12

On this show, there was Stacey

and Clinton, and they would do

13

a big makeover of someone who

dressed how they really wanted to.

14

And honestly, I think they made the

guests look more frumpy than normal.

15

And there's a part of me that loved

it, and there was a part of me that

16

absolutely hated the show because I

saw myself in so many of those people.

17

And the guests were overwhelmed

with the clothes that they "should"

18

wear and the hairstyle that

they suddenly had to maintain.

19

And it was usually pretty obvious

that there was an underlying mental

20

health issue for a lot of the guests.

21

I couldn't help but think of this

show as I was starting to write

22

this podcast episode because.

23

If you ambush people with information

too quickly, it doesn't resonate.

24

I mean, think of your first day on the job

or the first day of a new class, and the

25

teacher's telling you everything you need.

26

You need to learn or you're going

to learn over that semester, and you

27

feel your brain melting from that.

28

Too much information.

29

And that describes how sometimes I get

so caught up in sharing about human

30

design that I actually overwhelm people.

31

So recently I was giving a human design

reading at a retreat, and about halfway

32

through one of the other retreat hosts

who was sitting there said to the person

33

I was reading for, is that too much?

34

Is this too much information?

35

And I paused because she was not wrong.

36

I love going so deep and I was going

deeper than I normally do in a first

37

reading, but the person was asking such

thoughtful and engaging questions that I

38

was just trusting the moment and going

with it, not realizing how much deeper I

39

had gone and how I was overwhelming her.

40

So it really reminded me how

much I love sharing human design.

41

But I can give you too much information.

42

But I also love those aha moments

that land really deep for people.

43

And I've noticed it's actually

why people choose to work with me.

44

They're ready to go deep.

45

They want transformation.

46

They don't want just surface level tips.

47

They don't want a reading that

they're gonna forget in two hours.

48

They want to use this in their life.

49

In human design.

50

I'm a 5 /1 profile, which is a.

51

Problem- solver, and investigator,

and when I am lit up about something,

52

I can go so deep into a rabbit hole

that you might not see me for days.

53

I'm really designed to help people

solve problems and uncover patterns,

54

especially the ones quietly draining

their energy or loudly running the

55

show and how I'm supposed to ground

myself, which is my Gate 35 in my chart.

56

That's part of the throat center.

57

It's all about sharing what I've

learned through lived experience.

58

Just ask my family.

59

I love sharing what I'm learning.

60

I'll tell you about an article I've read.

61

I'll tell you about a show I've watched.

62

I'll tell you about a YouTube video.

63

I've watched and I can sometimes see my

daughter's eyes rolling into the back

64

of our head 'cause she's like, oh gosh.

65

More from mom.

66

So here's a challenge that I have

learned to navigate as a coach.

67

Transformation doesn't happen

through information overload.

68

It actually happens at the right

time with the right insight, but

69

also integration and allowing people

to take it in as they're ready.

70

So I've really restructured how I

work with clients several times.

71

I used to do these one hour sessions.

72

They were totally packed with information.

73

We would talk about as many parts

of the chart as I could possibly

74

fit in in an hour or an hour and a

half, because I wanted everybody to

75

get the most bang for their buck.

76

And I also noticed about 40 minutes

in that there would be this eye

77

glaze that would happen, and I would

notice that I was losing my clients.

78

So as I've started to develop my coaching

practice, I realized I had to take a

79

longer term relationship, take it over

time, and that allowed us to go deep,

80

but not in one hour info dump, where

the client left feeling completely

81

overwhelmed and had no idea how to

apply human design to their real life.

82

So now my sessions are eight sessions,

so they're getting eight hours.

83

In addition to other content that

I provide between our sessions.

84

And that's why I think I have fallen

in love with sharing through private

85

podcasts and personalized audio lessons.

86

'cause you can take them as you're ready.

87

They're thoughtful, they're self-paced,

and then they give you the space

88

to let things sink in, and they

meet you exactly where you are.

89

And if you need to listen on repeat, you

can listen on repeat because a lot of us

90

learn by listening over and over and over.

91

So as it turns out, I'm actually sharing

the way I'm designed to work, and there'll

92

be more coming soon on something I

have been working on behind the scenes.

93

And so for now, I will

leave you with this.

94

You are not too much.

95

You are not behind.

96

You are exactly where you're meant to be.

97

You are ready for what you

need now and when you're ready

98

to go deeper, I've got you.
