Human Design Unlocked: Full Permission to Be All of You with Erin Claire
Have you ever felt like you were trying to be everything for everyone… and losing yourself along the way?
Yeah. I’ve been there.
This week on Can’t Be Contained, I sat down with the incredible Erin Claire—a Human Design guide who is here to help us come back home to our truest selves.
We dropped into the heart of Human Design. Where it came from. Why it matters. And how it can liberate you from all the patterns that keep you burnt out, disconnected, and chasing someone else’s version of success.
Erin shared how discovering her own design shifted everything in her life. Her work. Her marriage. Her parenting. Her peace. And let me tell you—it’s powerful.
We talked about permission. Real, embodied permission. To pause. To rest. To lead in a way that feels natural. To trust yourself instead of pushing through.
She walked me through all five Human Design types and broke it down with so much clarity. We explored the difference between honoring your design and hiding out. We talked boundaries. The challenge of asking for help. The gift and complexity of being a Projector with a strong will. And how your unique energy affects your relationships, your business, your everything.
Erin also shared the magic that happens when you understand your partner’s or your child’s design. It can be a total reset.
This conversation is packed with truth, warmth, and real talk about reclaiming your energy and living in alignment with who you actually are.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, craving more ease, or ready to stop shape-shifting to please… this one is for you.
Grab your tea. Light a candle.
Let yourself soften and be seen.
