Speaker:
Welcome to the Parenting
Roadmap Private Podcast.
2
:
I'm so glad you're here.
3
:
This podcast is a companion
to the PDF You downloaded.
4
:
It's designed to give you short,
helpful episodes that explain the
5
:
basics of human design, starting with
your type as a parent and your kids'
6
:
type, plus a few bonus stories and
client conversations along the way.
7
:
I am Erica Voell, a confidence
and wellbeing coach, and a
8
:
certified human design guide.
9
:
I believe your human design is
your roadmap and your permission
10
:
to do things differently and
confidently, including parenting.
11
:
Let's get a few quick
things out of the way.
12
:
If you're like me and you have
lost track of your PDF, you can
13
:
rerun your parenting roadmap.
14
:
You'll find the link in the show notes.
15
:
The reflection questions and notes
I will reference in each episode
16
:
are pulled directly from that guide.
17
:
And most importantly, take what
resonates with you and leave the rest.
18
:
'cause some parts might click
right away and others might
19
:
make more sense down the road.
20
:
A little bit about me.
21
:
I came to human design,
thanks to my therapist.
22
:
I was deep in burnout, hitting some
walls over and over again, and I
23
:
thought I just needed to do more
self care or be more disciplined.
24
:
She gently suggested that I
look up my human design chart.
25
:
I am no stranger to personality
tests, but I've never really
26
:
found anything that stuck.
27
:
I thought this would be like.
28
:
Right for your blood type kind of thing.
29
:
I was so skeptical until I
started reading about my design.
30
:
I have never felt so seen and understood
all for my birthdate, time and location.
31
:
It explained so much why I
struggled with decisions.
32
:
My entire life, why I have over committed
and then second guess myself and why I
33
:
always felt like I was doing things wrong.
34
:
I found out I have an emotional
authority, which means I'm not
35
:
meant to make quick decisions.
36
:
Something I picked up from my family
who are all fast decision makers.
37
:
And once I started learning
more, I could not stop.
38
:
I would share bits and pieces with
friends, and then someone asked me when
39
:
I was gonna share this with other people.
40
:
I told myself I needed to study for
at least a year before I shared this
41
:
professionally, and one of my first client
chart readings was for a friend and she
42
:
turned in to be my first paid client.
43
:
And the more I have worked with
clients, especially parents, the
44
:
more I see human design in action.
45
:
Human design has helped me show up
differently as a parent, and I show up
46
:
differently in my work and in my marriage.
47
:
So why human design for parenting?
48
:
My daughter is wired so much differently
than I am and now instead of trying
49
:
to make her fit into my way, I
support her way, I've learned when
50
:
she's entering a new situation, she
needs someone she trusts nearby.
51
:
That tiny insight has
changed so much for us.
52
:
Same with my husband.
53
:
He moves and he thinks
so much faster than I do.
54
:
This has helped us make decisions as a
team instead of clashing over timing.
55
:
By asking my daughter to sleep on her
decisions, we have saved so much money.
56
:
Human design hasn't just
helped me personally.
57
:
It's helped me see my family more
clearly, and it's given me language
58
:
and tools that have created more
peace and understanding in our home.
59
:
So what can you expect from this podcast?
60
:
You'll find a short introductory episode.
61
:
And then a series of type episodes.
62
:
There's a set for parents
and a set for kids.
63
:
So if you're a generator parent,
you'll wanna listen to that episode.
64
:
And if you have a projector child,
you'll listen to that episode.
65
:
I really encourage you to listen to both.
66
:
There are also bonus episodes coming
with real parents sharing how human
67
:
design has shifted things in their
families and their stories are
68
:
beautiful, honest, and totally relatable.
69
:
This isn't about doing it right, it's
about finding what works for you and
70
:
your family because your design is your
permission to do things differently
71
:
and confidently even parenting.
72
:
So next up you'll find the episode
that is all about the introduction,
73
:
and then you'll wanna find the one
that matches your type as a parent.
74
:
Start there and then jump into your kids'.
75
:
Type next.
76
:
I'm so glad you're here.
77
:
Let's make parenting feel a little
more natural with a lot less guesswork.
