  • CAN AI READ MY HUMAN DESIGN CHART?

    Yes—But It’s Not What You Think

    Here’s what I keep hearing: “Can AI read my Human Design chart?”

    Short answer: Yes. Absolutely.

    But there’s a catch.

    Most people copy-paste their chart into ChatGPT and get back generic fluff that sounds like every free website. “You’re a Generator! You have sacral energy!” Cool. I knew that.

    The problem isn’t the AI. It’s the input.

    Human Design is a system of relationships—how centers connect, which gates activate which channels, the tension between defined and undefined areas. When you feed AI just a list of components, you get surface-level generic nonsense.

    But when you structure your data correctly? Something shifts. The AI starts seeing patterns. It catches dynamics you missed. It asks questions that send you deeper.

    I cracked the code.

    After months of experimentation, I figured out exactly how to format your Human Design data so AI delivers interpretations that feel personal, specific, and occasionally startling.

    The prompt template. The procedure. The exact method.

    It’s all in my book, Know Thyself.

    No technical skills needed. No expensive software. Just your chart, any AI tool, and a method that actually works.

    If you want AI to truly see your design—not just parrot back generic paragraphs—this is how.

  • WHY I QUIT THE COACHING INDUSTRY (And Wrote This Book Instead)

    I remember it so clearly: 13 years ago, coaching was just beginning to ripple through the personal development world. It felt fresh, full of possibility. At the time, I was deep into studying numerology, fascinated by how it could reveal a person’s hidden blueprint—especially when it came to something as daunting as choosing a career. I had a vision: to combine this talent for analyzing people with a genuine desire to help them, and offer career counselling to high school students standing at that crucial crossroads.

    It was a dream born of alignment. I was good at something I loved, and I wanted to use it to help others. So, full of hope and purpose, I joined the coaching world.

    Little did I know, I wasn’t just signing up for a career; I was signing up for an industry I would grow to fundamentally disagree with.

    The first cracks appeared at the marketing conferences. I’d sit in those rooms, surrounded by aspiring coaches, listening to the gurus on stage. The message was always the same, delivered with absolute certainty: “You must charge a premium. If you don’t charge a lot of money, people won’t believe you have anything valuable to offer.” It was presented as a universal law, a non-negotiable truth.

    But the more I listened, the more it felt like smoke and mirrors. I started to see the machinery behind the magic. The hype felt manufactured. The “expertise” felt like a performance. The high prices weren’t about reflecting true value; they were about creating the illusion of it.

    I looked at the people on stage and the programs they were selling, and a quiet, unsettling realization dawned on me: no one really had the answers. They were just better at selling the questions. The whole thing felt over-hyped, over-priced, and fundamentally hollow.

    I wanted no part of it. The dream of helping people hadn’t faded, but my desire to be part of that world had vanished completely. So, I did the only thing that made sense: I quit. I walked away from the industry, from the pressure to become a “guru,” from the entire machine.

    But I didn’t walk away from the mission. I just needed to find a better, more honest way to fulfill it.

    I went looking for something real. Something that couldn’t be faked. Something that worked whether you paid $5,000 or $5. I found it in two places: an ancient system called Human Design, which provides a profound map of our true nature, and the modern tool of AI, which allows us to explore that map in deeply personal, nuanced ways. One holds the timeless wisdom of “Know Thyself.” The other is the key to unlocking it for our unique, modern lives.

    That’s why I wrote Know Thyself. It’s the book I wished existed when I was sitting in those conferences, watching people get sold dreams they couldn’t afford. It’s the anti-guru guide. It doesn’t ask you to follow me or pay a fortune for secrets. Instead, it empowers you to embark on your own journey of self-discovery, using Human Design and AI as your honest, always-available companion. It’s the tool for people who want real answers, not just more smoke.
