Using Human Design Authority in Your Writing
In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite obsessions, Human Design! This system helps us understand ourselves and others. In addition, it can help us in our author business, as well as in our daily lives. In this episode, you’ll learn how you can use your Human Design authority in choosing your next project or book idea to write, or to make any decision. It may make more sense for you if you have your Human Design chart, or body graph.
