Welcome to Parents Using Human Design — a podcast for conscious parents who are ready to do things differently.
Hosted by two real moms on a journey of unlearning, we dive deep into what it means to parent from a place of presence, intuition, and truth. Through the lens of Human Design, we explore how to better understand ourselves and our kids, release the pressure of “shoulds,” and create more ease, connection, and authenticity at home.
Whether you’re new to Human Design or have been experimenting for a while, this space will meet you where you are—with honest conversations, insights that resonate, and stories that remind you you’re not alone.
We’re not here to give you more rules. We’re here to help you remember your power—and raise the next generation from a place of clarity, compassion, and radical self-trust.

S1/E10 - Deconditioning as Parents: Undefined Centers, Big Feelings + Nervous System Care
Back with another episode of Parents Using Human Design, Bryn and Courtney turn the lens inward to explore deconditioning as parents—how old patterns, family dynamics, and everyday stress shape the way we show up with our kids. Using Human Design as a compassionate framework, we unpack what’s yours, what you may be amplifying, and how to create more ease at home without trying to be the “perfect” parent.
We talk about why both undefined and defined centers can hold conditioning, how to compare your chart with your child’s (and even your parents’) for context and compassion, and why “trauma” is less about the event and more about what happens after—through the lens of nervous system regulation and the “window of tolerance.”
🎧 In this episode, we cover:
What deconditioning really means for parents (and why HD makes it practical, not perfect)
Defined vs. undefined centers you’ll feel at home: Emotional, Sacral, Root, Throat
Emotional Center dynamics: how defined vs. undefined plays out in families + scripts to communicate about big feelings
The difference between empathy and emotional amplification (why some kids name your feelings before you do)
Root pressure at home: on-time culture, urgency energy, and giving grace
Sacral truths: “lazy days,” capacity, and yes/no energy—without rewards, bribes, or battles
Real-life examples: hot vs. cold digestion at the dinner table, touch cognition and mess, comparing charts across generations
A gentler approach to healing: baby steps, one center at a time, and weaving regulation into the day
✨ Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or deep into your experiment, this conversation grounds the theory in real family life—so you can parent from presence, permission, and your actual energy.
💫 What is Human Design?A synthesis of ancient systems (astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system) and modern science (genetics, quantum physics). Your bodygraph reveals how your energy operates—gold for understanding your child’s behavior, motivation, and needs.
