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/E7 - Love & Compassion When Things Get Tough: Tangible Tools for Real-Life Parenting
In this heart-centered episode of Parents Using Human Design, Bryn and Courtney get practical about extending love and compassion at home—especially when old patterns or reactivity pop up in everyday family life.
We share simple, tangible tools you can use right away—like wildly specific gratitude, appreciation that truly lands, modeling over mandating, and HD-informed praise—to shift the energy in real time, build receptivity, and create more ease, connection, and authenticity with your kids and partner.
🎧 In this episode, we cover:
Practical, do-today ways to extend love and compassion—to your kids, partner, and yourself
Gratitude that actually shifts energy (be wildly specific + recognize your own contributions)
How to express appreciation that lands: “I appreciate you because it makes me feel…”
Receiving appreciation when it feels uncomfortable—and building that receptivity muscle
Habit tips: cues, reminders, bedtime rituals, gratitude jars, and “stacking” practices
Modeling over mandating: why kids mirror what we embody (please/thank-you without drilling)
HD-informed praise: use your child’s Conscious Sun (gift) and Unconscious Mars (core challenge) to name “the beauty/power I see in you”
“Lead with love before correction”: using curiosity as the bridge from reactivity to connection
✨ Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or deep into your experiment, we’re here to make it usable in the messy, magical moments of family life. No jargon, no pressure—just grounded practices that raise the vibe at home.
💫 What is Human Design?It’s a synthesis of ancient systems (like astrology, the I Ching, and the chakra system) and modern science (like genetics and quantum physics). Your “bodygraph” is based on your birth info and reveals how your energy naturally works—gold for understanding your child’s needs, behavior, and decision-making.Grab your free Human Design chart: brynbrown.com/freechart
🙌 If this episode resonates, share it with a fellow parent who’s curious about Human Design—or who could use a little more ease and grace this week. Thanks for listening—and remember: it’s not about being perfect. It’s about parenting from your truth, in your way, with your energy.
