If you’ve been feeling the pressure of the season — the noise, the urgency, the “shoulds,” the endless decisions — this episode will land right where you are. We’re talking about something most people never consider during the holidays: how Black Friday quietly hijacks your energy and pulls you out of your own inner authority.

In this conversation, we explore why high-pressure sales cycles activate the Not-Self, why even the most grounded people get swept into urgency, and how the open centers in Human Design become louder when the world is shouting for your attention. This isn’t about shaming spending or avoiding desire. It’s about understanding the deeper relationship you have with pressure, impulse, identity, and your own knowing — especially when everything around you is engineered to pull you away from it.

You’ll learn how each center responds to holiday stimulation, why gifting can be just as energetically loaded as buying for yourself, and what actually shifts when you pause long enough to let your real authority speak. We’ll walk through three simple, powerful practices to bring you back into clarity — whether you're deciding on a purchase, choosing gifts, or navigating the emotional intensity of the season.

And if you want deeper insight into how your own design handles pressure and decision-making, I’ve added links below to your Human Design Energetic Blueprint and the Frequency Labyrinth community — both designed to support you in building that unshakeable inner yes.
