Episode 88: Your Human Design Environment , It will Refresh You

What if your business isn’t stalling because of your strategy but because you’re trying to plug into the wrong outlet? Your Human Design environment is your charging dock. When it fits, your energy replenishes and your business flows. When it doesn’t, you’re basically running on 1% battery and praying for a miracle.

In this episode, Caitlan Siegenthaler (therapist turned biz strategist, 4/6 Splenic Projector, and professional caller-out of burnout) digs into how your Human Design environment shapes your energy, your offers, and your results. From caves to kitchens to mountains and beyond, each environment comes with its own way to recharge and thrive.

Caitlan shares her own stories (why she craved sunshine in Ohio, how Switzerland snuck her into isolation, and what Virginia Beach reawakened) plus a client case study where aligning with the right environment doubled conversions in three months. Consider this your permission slip to stop building your business in places that drain you and start plugging in where your energy actually thrives.

• The six Human Design environments and what fuels each one
