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/E9 - The Sacral Center and the Art of Doing What You Don’t Want to Do
In this heart-centered episode of Parents Using Human Design, Bryn and Courtney dive into one of the most talked-about centers in Human Design—the Sacral Center—your inner “uh-huh” or “uh-uh.” Whether you’re a Generator, Manifesting Generator, or a non-sacral type (Projector, Manifestor, Reflector), understanding this energy center can completely transform how you parent, communicate, and honor your own capacity.
We explore what it really means to trust the gut, why not everyone has consistent access to that gut knowing, and how to support your kids (and yourself) in making aligned decisions—without burnout, battles, or constant “reward vs. consequence” cycles.
🎧 In this episode, we cover:
What the Sacral Center is and how it functions as life-force energy
Defined vs. undefined sacral energy—and why “trust your gut” only applies to some
How to ask better questions: open-ended vs. yes/no for kids with different designs
What “uh-huh” and “uh-uh” sounds really mean (and why you shouldn’t correct them!)
How to spot conditioning in both sacral and non-sacral beings
Supporting your Generator or MG child: helping them recognize their “yes” and “no”
Getting things done without rewards, bribes, or burnout
Creative ways to engage energy: the family “chore draft,” gamifying tasks, and offering choice
What to do when your kid “has no energy” for something (hint: it’s not laziness)
The sacral–root connection: pressure, procrastination, and grace in getting things done
Real-life examples of using Human Design to co-regulate, communicate, and connect
✨ Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or deep into your experiment, this conversation brings the system down to earth—showing you how to work with your child’s natural energy instead of against it.
💫 What is Human Design?It’s a synthesis of ancient systems (astrology, the I Ching, and the chakra system) and modern science (genetics and quantum physics). Your “bodygraph” reveals how your energy naturally operates—gold for understanding your child’s behavior, motivation, and needs.
