About this listen

Human Design can be mind-blowing…but also kind of confusing. That’s where we come in. Welcome to the Human Design Hive Podcast, where we (Dana, your Human Design guide, and Hali, my daughter and co-host) help you untangle who you really are from who the world told you to be—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start trusting your own path. Whether you’re new to Human Design or already deep in the rabbit hole, we’re here to explore how understanding yourself on an energetic level can shift everything—your relationships, career, confidence, and the way you move through the world. Because when you stop living by who you think you should be and start trusting who you actually are, everything changes. Expect deep insights, relatable conversations, and plenty of laughs as we break it all down in a way that actually makes sense for real life. Subscribe, share, and join the Hive! 🐝✨

  • 162- The 2/4 Profile in Human Design: Craves Solitude, Called by Connection

    In this episode of The Human Design Hive Podcast, we're diving into the energy of the 2/4 Profile—aka the natural hermit with a powerful network.

    We’re unpacking the beautifully paradoxical world of the 2/4: the one who thrives in solitude and connection. From that cozy inner cave of Line 2 to the trust-filled networks of Line 4, we explore how these energies blend and show up in real life (with plenty of stories to bring it to life).

    In this episode, you’ll hear about:

    - What the 2/4 Profile is and how it operates in the world

    - The dynamic between alone-time and community (and why both are vital)

    - Why 2/4s often don’t see their own gifts—but others do

    - How opportunities flow to 2/4s through the right relationships

    - Real-life examples of well-known 2/4s (Mr. Rogers, anyone?)

    - Type-specific insights: how being a 2/4 Generator, Projector, Manifestor, or Reflector adds another layer

    Whether you’re a 2/4 yourself or love someone who is, this episode will help you see the brilliance in that quiet magic + community connection combo.

  • 161- The 5/2 Profile in Human Design : Powerful Impact, Private Nature
    Jun 17 2025

    In this episode of the Human Design Hive Podcast, we’re diving into the energy of the 5/2 profile. This one has a bit of a reputation. Equal parts leadership potential and leave-me-alone energy- and honestly, it makes sense why it can feel like such a strange ride sometimes.

    If you’ve ever felt pulled between wanting to make a difference and wanting to disappear entirely, the 5/2 profile might sound a little too familiar.

    Here’s what we get into:

    - What the 5 and 2 lines actually represent (and why this combo can feel like being seen and unseen at the same time)

    - The unique tension between public projection and private hermiting

    - How to navigate the “call to lead” without burning out or blending in

    - How this profile shows up differently depending on your Human Design type (Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Reflector)

    - A few real-life 5/2s that might surprise you—and why they’re great examples of this energy in action

    A few things to take with you:

    Just because others see something in you doesn’t mean you have to say yes. The real power of the 5/2 comes from knowing yourself well enough to discern what’s yours to lead—and what’s just noise. Let your own clarity set the tone, not other people’s expectations.

  • The Human Design 4/6 Profile: Deep Bonds & Embodied Wisdom
    Jun 10 2025

    Hey there! In this episode of the Human Design Hive Podcast, we’re digging into the 4/6 profile—one of the more layered and quietly powerful profiles in Human Design. If you (or someone you love) is a 4/6, this one's for you.

    We talk about what makes the 4/6 so unique, why it's considered a "personal" profile even though both numbers live in the upper trigram, and what it really looks like to lead from embodied wisdom.

    In this episode, you'll hear:

    -What the 4 and 6 lines actually feel like in daily life

    - Why the early part of life can feel bumpy for 4/6s (hint: relationships + trial and error = lessons)

    - How 4/6s build influence through personal connection, not performance

    - Real examples of well-known 4/6s living their design

    - How this profile shows up in each energy type—Generator, Projector, Manifestor, and Reflector

    We wrap things up with the Incarnation Cross of the Week and a few laughs, as always. So whether you’re a 4/6 navigating your own path, or just curious how this profile plays out, you’ll come away with new insights—and probably a couple “that’s so me!” moments.
