What Is Human Design (And Why It Matters for Coaches & Mompreneurs)?

Human Design is like a personality blueprint that combines the principles of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, chakra systems, and quantum physics. I know, it sounds like a LOT—but it’s basically a user manual for your energy.

Think of it as a way to understand your true self and:

• How you’re designed to make decisions

• How your energy works best

• What your natural gifts are

• How you attract opportunities and clients

As a coach and busy mom, this framework helps you create offers, content, and schedules that actually match your energy type—instead of trying to force yourself to do business like everyone else.

👉 It’s not another thing to add to your to-do list. It’s a way to simplify and clarify your coaching journey from your true nature.

How to Find Your Human Design Chart

Before we get into how to use Human Design in your coaching business, you’ll need to grab your free chart. You can do this at:

• MyBodyGraph.com from the Founder Ra Uru Hu

• JovianArchive.com

• GeneticMatrix.com

You’ll need:

• Your birth date

• Your exact time of birth (important!)

• Your birth location

Once you plug that in, you’ll see your intricate human design bodygraph that looks super complex at first glance—but don’t worry. You can take this all at your own pace and in your own time. The beauty is there are no rules when it comes to learning human design and getting a a deeper understanding of your authentic self. The most important and very first thing to start with is your Type.

The 5 Human Design Types and How They Affect Your Coaching Style

Each Human Design type is different and shows just a snapshot of your energetic blueprint, strategy, and way of moving through the world. Let’s break them down with practical tools to easily apply in your own life, coach-to-coach:

1. Manifestors – The Initiators

Approx. 9% of the population

You’re here to initiate ideas and blaze new trails. You don’t wait for permission—you go first.

✨ Coaching Strengths: Visionary offers, bold launches, and disruptive leadership

⚠️ Watch out for: Burnout from over-explaining or trying to people-please

💡 Your Coaching Strategy: Inform before you act. Let your audience and clients know what you’re doing so they feel included but not in control of your energy.

2. Generators – The Builders

Approx. 37% of the population

You have the energy and vitality to build sustainable businesses—but only when you’re lit up by what you’re doing.

✨ Coaching Strengths: Consistent energy, step-by-step strategy, and magnetic enthusiasm

⚠️ Watch out for: Saying yes out of obligation and ending up drained

💡 Your Coaching Strategy: Respond to what lights you up. Wait for something to respond to—whether it's a question, a client comment, or a new idea that excites you.

3. Manifesting Generators (MGs) – The Multi-Passionate Creators

Approx. 33% of the population

You’re fast-moving, multi-passionate, and non-linear. You’re meant to do many things—and that’s a strength!

✨ Coaching Strengths: Rapid content creation, intuitive shortcuts, multi-offer businesses

⚠️ Watch out for: Skipping steps or overcommitting because you feel pressure to “niche down”

💡 Your Coaching Strategy: Respond and inform. Trust that your speed is part of your genius, but also let people know what you’re doing to keep the energy clean.

4. Projectors – The Guides

Approx. 20% of the population

You’re here to see others deeply and offer wise insights to guide others—but only when you’re invited to.

✨ Coaching Strengths: Deep 1:1 coaching, mindset work, intuitive observations

⚠️ Watch out for: Overgiving or trying to force your wisdom on others

💡 Your Coaching Strategy: Wait for the invitation. Share valuable content so the right people naturally invite your energy into their world.

5. Reflectors – The Mirrors

Approx. 1% of the population

You’re deeply sensitive to your environment and reflect the energy of the group. You’re here to evaluate and advise with wisdom.

✨ Coaching Strengths: Holding safe space, sensing group dynamics, community-based coaching

⚠️ Watch out for: Making decisions too quickly or staying in toxic environments

💡 Your Coaching Strategy: Wait a lunar cycle (28 days) for big decisions and trust your environment—it’s everything for you.

How to Apply Human Design to Your Coaching Business

Okay, now that you’ve got your type and a foundational knowledge of human design, let’s talk about using it in your own business. Here’s where the real fun begins! 🎉

1. Create Offers Based on Your Energy

If you’re a Generator or MG, you may thrive with group programs that allow lots of interaction and energy exchange.

If you’re a Projector, short, deep dive sessions may serve you best (think: Voxer coaching or 90-minute intensives).

Manifestors can build potent offers around big bursts of energy—masterclasses, challenges, or launch-based programs.

Reflectors may want to work with small groups or on a seasonal basis depending on their own energy.

2. Plan Content Based on Your Strategy

Let’s say you’re a Generator. Instead of forcing content out of nowhere, scroll through your DMs or client questions. What are people asking? Respond to that. That’s where your content will hit hardest.

If you’re a Projector, write when the inspiration lands and trust that your voice will be received when the timing is right—especially if you’ve been invited into a conversation.

3. Use Authority to Make Decisions

Each Human Design chart comes with an Authority—a personal decision-making style.

For example:

• Emotional Authority? Don’t decide in the moment. Sleep on it.

• Sacral Authority? Trust your gut response.

• Splenic Authority? That quiet whisper is your truth.

Understanding how you’re designed to decide is EVERYTHING in business. No more rushing into offers, collabs, or investments that drain you. Applying your unique human design bodygraph charts to your entire system is the best way to get the best possible experience out of life.

4. Customize Your Coaching Based on Your Clients’ Designs

Want to next-level your coaching sessions? Ask for your client’s Human Design type before your first session!

Here’s how you can serve differently:

• Generators: Ask what’s lighting them up—and what’s draining them.

• Manifestors: Help them trust their instincts and not over-explain.

• Projectors: Help them manage energy and lean into rest and recognition.

• Reflectors: Help them tune into cycles and their physical environment.

5. Schedule Based on Energy, Not Hustle

This is a game-changer for mompreneurs. As a busy mom, you can’t be “on” 24/7. And with Human Design, you don’t have to be.

Create a business model that honors your design:

• Generators can batch content on days they feel juicy.

• Projectors need more space and rest between sessions.

• Manifestors do well with sprints and then breaks.

• MGs can batch and pivot often.

• Reflectors benefit from spacious schedules and time to process.

  
  

Why Learning Human Design Prevents Burnout for Coaches and Moms

Let’s be honest: burnout is real in the online coaching world. Between Pinterest strategy, Instagram reels, email funnels, mom life, and actually coaching—it’s a lot.

Here’s how Human Design helps you shift:

• You stop copying cookie-cutter strategies.

• You align with your strengths (not your weaknesses).

• You build a business that feels like YOU.

• You trust your timing, voice, and way of showing up.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works for you and your own experiences.

Real-Life Examples Using Human Design in Coaching

Here are a few ideas you can test out this week:

💬 In a coaching session: Ask your client how they best make decisions (emotional, sacral, splenic, etc.). Let them experiment with waiting or following gut responses.

📝 In your content: Try writing a post that speaks directly to your type’s strategy. For example, Projectors can write about the magic of waiting for the invitation.

📅 In your calendar: Adjust your week to include more aligned days. Maybe you coach only two days a week and leave the rest open for inspiration or client creation.

You Don’t Have to Know It All to Start

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to be a certified Human Design reader to start playing with it.

You just need to be curious.

Start by:

• Learning your type and authority

• Honoring your energy flows

• Reflecting with your clients

This revolutionary system can be a total unlock for your business, your motherhood journey, and your personal development. The more you trust your own design, the easier it is to lead with authenticity and coach from a truly aligned place every step of the way.
