Ever feel like your zodiac or personality test didn’t quite capture the whole you? Enter Human Design — a system that combines astrology, chakras, the I Ching, and even quantum physics to map out the unique way your energy is meant to flow.
In this week’s episode of Balanced Not Boring, co-host Judy sits down with Caline Malek — journalist, mindfulness coach, and Human Design reader — to unpack how this tool can help you elevate, flow, and thrive in everyday life. From her career shift into spirituality to a live Human Design reading for Judy (who turns out to be a Projector), Caline brings both wisdom and real-life examples to the table.
✨ What we cover in this episode:
Caline’s personal journey from journalism to Human Design and energy work
What Human Design actually is (and why it’s worth your time)
A breakdown of the five types — Generators, Manifestors, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors
Judy’s live Projector reading: authority, strategy, and gifts in action
Myth-busting: is Human Design just astrology, a cult, or limiting?
How Human Design aligns with religion and spiritual beliefs
Real-life applications: career, relationships, parenting, health, and burnout prevention
Practical ways to use your design daily to feel more in flow
