The Pulse on Human Design: Using Systems Without Boxing Yourself In
Sometimes these systems are meant to bring you home to yourself, but they can also become another way to second-guess your instincts.
In this episode of The Pulse on Human Design, Vanessa Najja is joined by Ankara Rose, creator of The Success Codex, for a grounded conversation about what happens when Human Design, astrology, Gene Keys, and other self-awareness tools get used as labels instead of support. Together, they explore the difference between letting a system guide your self-understanding versus using it to limit what you believe is possible for you.
You’ll also hear honest reflections on entrepreneurship, coaching dynamics, and the nuance of discernment, especially when something feels scary, stretchy, and aligned, versus simply not right for you.
In this episode, you’ll gain:
- A clearer sense of how to use these systems without turning them into rules
- Language shifts that make your design feel more empowering and usable
- Support for building real discernment (without outsourcing your authority)
- A grounded lens on fear, growth edges, and self-trust in business
