82. Permission to Pivot: Listening to Your Not-Self Theme & Shifting When Needed

podcast Mar 25, 2025

There’s nothing quite like thinking you’ve lost 18 months of work to wake you up. That’s exactly what happened to me when my podcast my beloved weekly outlet, my creative expression, my body of work suddenly vanished.

It was frustrating. It was emotional. And it turned into a powerful invitation: to pivot.

Listening to Frustration as a Signal

As a Generator, frustration is my not-self theme. It’s the signal that something is out of alignment and wow, did I feel it. The podcast platform switch didn’t go as planned. Support teams weren’t helpful. At one point, I believed the entire archive was gone.

I could’ve forced a solution. I’ve done that before. But this time, I paused. I honored the emotion. I let myself feel it fully, and instead of charging ahead with the “plan,” I took a step back and asked: what’s actually aligned for me right now?

Pivoting Doesn’t Mean Failing

This experience reminded me that pivoting isn’t weakness it’s wisdom. It’s leadership. When I gave myself permission to shift the timing of my Liberated Visionary Training, everything flowed better. My energy returned. My clarity sharpened. And I remembered why I was doing this in the first place.

When we allow ourselves to pivot, we create space for alignment, creativity, and expansion.

Your Not-Self Theme is a Compass

Each Human Design type has a not-self theme that shows up when something’s off. It’s not a flaw it’s your built-in compass.

For Generators, it’s frustration.
For Manifestors, it’s anger.
For MGs, it’s both.
For Projectors, it’s bitterness.
For Reflectors, it’s disappointment.

In the episode, I walk through each one and how to recognize when you’re out of alignment, and what to do about it.

The Takeaway

The moment I stopped trying to “push through,” everything came back into flow. The podcast returned. The training dates realigned. My energy re-centered. That’s the magic of honoring your design.

If you’re feeling the nudge to pivot, this is your permission slip.
