Being a generator myself because it's like, you just, you can't help but you know, do what motivate you know what?What energizes you so

Tangie Nadimi  00:13

Yeah, I mean, it's fascinating. Yeah, there you are very similar

Bridget Moroney  00:19

to you basically just said, I'm the same as Tom Brady. So, there you go.

Tangie Nadimi  00:23

I've used the word similar.

Bridget Moroney  00:26

I heard the same and I am the GOAT like Tom Brady. Yeah, that is what I heard. You got this. Welcome to the performance RX podcast where the conversations are about health, nutrition and mindset for anyone who considers themselves an athlete from the most elite competitors to those who are simply seeking to improve their athletic performance. We hope the knowledge shared on this show will empower you to reach your physical potential. Thank you so much for tuning in. Now for today's episode. Hey, everyone. Welcome to today's show. I'm your host, Bridget Moroney. And today my guest is the feelgood expert herself, Tangie Nadimi. Tangie is a certified Human Design reader and life coach. She bridges her expertise in two fields to provide you logical tools to help you embody your most authentic self. Human Design is an empirical system that combines ancient wisdom with the modern science using your birth date, time and location. Tandy provides guidance and direction on how to feel good by design. So today is not your run of the mill performance RX podcast or performance podcast or health and fitness podcast. It's a little bit metaphysical. I'm just gonna be honest, but it's a very interesting conversation. And it does make you wonder why people like Tiger Woods, Tom Brady, Serena Williams, are all first of all in the first place the GOATs in their respective sports, but also are able to continue on in their careers well into their 40s and not just continue in play, but actually be dominant champions, so Tangie and I sit down and talk about what the hell is human design in the first place, and then the different systems that can actually help people get a little bit more insight into their health and performance and what is going to help them reach their highest potential. I hope you enjoy. Also, if you want to know what your human design chart looks like, compared to some of the things and people we talk about today, head on over to the feelgood. expert.com To pull yours up for free. All right, let's do the damn thing. I'm ready. Oh, man, I am so excited. It is so awesome to see you. One as I was just saying, Before we started officially recording one, you're just one of my favorite people. And two, I think what we have to talk about today, and what you're going to share is just really fascinating whether people are fully on board or not. It's just it's just cool shit.

Tangie Nadimi  02:54

It blows my mind on a daily basis. This is what keeps me hooked. It is cool shit. Yeah. 100% agree.

Bridget Moroney  03:01

100% certified cool shit. There you go. Awesome. Okay, well, before we dive into the, you know, alleged cool shit that we're talking about here. I want to give you a chance. So did a little bit of an intro at the beginning of the podcast, with you know, your your background and an introduction. But is there anything else that you want to tell our listeners about your background? How you got into coaching and specifically, what made you focus on human design in working with your clients? Because that's what we're going to be talking about today.

Tangie Nadimi  03:37

Yeah, well, you know, it's trauma. Trauma traumas what what led me to get do most of the things that I've done in life, apparently I chose this incarnation for doing things the hard way. But yeah, yeah, so I'm really into human design, astrology, all things metaphysical, spiritual. And so I had a traumatic event in my life, which led me to this, you know, spiritual awakening, if you will, whatever you want to call it, it just led me to explore outside of what I currently know. So I because of this thing that was happening in my life, and you know, the confusion that I had, and I felt a little lost and I felt like I needed some direction and some guidance and some just general help and support. I decided to just call in all the people okay, so I hired a coach for myself for the trauma, right to help me with the narratives and, and all the things that are going on my head and to just kind of get some grounding, but I also like I had readings with astrologers. I had readings with tarot readers. I had readings of my Akashic records. I mean, I had channelers I had psychics, like I just really went all in, and something that human design had already been in my awareness. But I also had a human design reading and I started to kind of like pull in more and more information around human design and It was aligning with all of the things that I had learned through coaching, through all of the readings that I had done through all the content that I was consuming on social media, because we know that algorithms, they target you, and they know what you like. And so I was getting all of this stuff coming in. And I was like, wow, you know, human design, for me was the one thing that that made sense, the founder of human design causes, calls it an empirical system, meaning it proves itself over time. It made sense, it aligned with everything else. And it helped me to create a context and a language through which to communicate to myself and others what I was feeling and why I was feeling that way. And to just give this massive level of acceptance of self acceptance, okay to just be like, Oh, I was just born that way. And now I can relate to all these different parts in my chart and say, That's just who I am. And that's how I am and I don't have to change. Nothing needs to be improved in me, like I was just, this is how I was created. And I can accept that. And I can also accept others really well. And I can create these boundaries between myself and others much more clearly. Because I know what's mine, and I know what isn't mine. And so since I've learned that, I mean, I've become a better friend, I've become a better parent, my health has become so much better, my mental health is so much better. Because all of us want to get up in our heads, right to like, figure all the things out and answer all the questions and solve all those problems. And human design really tells us to do the opposite. It's like get into your body, or the majority of people it's like actually get into your body. Like for you, for example, what is your guts is not not what is your head, okay, we always want to use their head, but it's like, no, what does your gut say about this? For me? It's like, what is your instinct? What is your intuition here? And so that helps me to guide people and coach people. And it also helps me to love and accept myself so that I show up as a you know, holistic human, anytime that I do readings or coaching sessions, so that was the longest answer to

Bridget Moroney  07:10

no, I don't think so at all. I know. I mean, it was an awesome answer there. And I, you've said this to me. You know, before, and you kind of mentioned a little bit of just about, you told me once that human design is basically the great or the grand permission slip there. And you kind of brought it up here. It's, it's a it's a system to understand ourselves and, and find acceptance. And, and I, and I find that I think that's interesting, especially in the context of coaching, because I was having this conversation on another podcast with another coach. And the phrase of granting permission came up there because I'm, and I'm assuming you've probably had this experience as well, as coaches, whether we're coaching about nutrition, health, just life coaching in general. We often as as the coaches are the first ones to give permission to our, our clients, right? Because they're coming to us for whatever reason, and it's, it's one is to seek our, our help and assistance in certain things. And yeah, they you know, as humans, we all get stuck with certain things. And part of it is, like you said, like, our minds, our limiting beliefs, the narratives, whatever, don't give us permission, there's a there's, there's all the shoulds in there. And um, you know, like I was saying in this in this podcast that we had, with Sheen Lawrick it's granting the permission like in the context of of health, fitness, nutrition, it's like, you don't have to get up and work out at 630 in the morning, if that doesn't suit you. And again, that's like from the coach's perspective, but I like and this is kind of what we're going to dive into today, I believe with human design is like, Yeah, I'm not wired to do this in the morning. Maybe it's more suited. So again, giving ourselves that permission to just be who we are. And, as a result, live a little bit more optimally as because of that.

Tangie Nadimi  09:25

Exactly. Yeah. I mean, that's why I call myself the feel good expert, is the ultimate permission slip to feel good. And feeling good is feeling aligned and feeling aligned is feeling like this is me. And I accept that love and accept myself, right? Like this is just how I am one of the things that I you know, I say on social media is like it's too big of a jump to go from lack to improvement, okay? And if we get into any of these fields of coaching, you know, health coaching spiritual, whatever it is, you think that there's something wrong with you, and thus something needs to be changed. or improved. But you have to stop in between, you can't jump directly from lack all the way to improvement, you have to stop at self acceptance. And so I feel like human design is the context and the language through which I can tell people this is how this is exactly how you're built. And this is how to love and accept yourself. And then if you want to play, if you want to play with everything that the universe has to offer, if you want to play with trying this on for size and seeing how it feels play, because it's playful, then it's not something's wrong with me, or something's missing from me, it is an experiment. And this is a lot of times what people in Human Design referred to as an experiment. When you first learn human design, you start to integrate it, you start to see that it's empirical things start to shift in your life, things start to prove themselves without any effort at all. And it takes about seven years, as you know, to have this cell turnover in your body. So in human design, we say your experiment is the first seven years where you just you like try things on like, Okay, this is me, right? This is me, and you just keep proving this, this is me, this is me, and I'm playing with that. And then I allow it to go away. And I don't shame and blame myself when it goes away. And when it comes back, and again, I play with it, and it's okay, and it's fun, and then it goes away, and I don't shame and blame myself. And then I also really stopped taking for granted, the things that are consistent for me, right. And so I start to notice I have these strengths. And this is actually very, very consistent for me. And it just keeps being this way. And it keeps being this way. And I'm going to start looking at as a strength and saying, This is who I am. And this is what I create. This is what radiates out of me, this is what I have to offer to everyone else. And so I'm going to use that as my strength. And then all of the things that are undefined in my chart, all the things that are fluid, the things that are I'm sampling, I'm going to allow myself to say that that's just playful, I'm no longer going to shame myself, for example, me when we're talking about health and fitness, like, I don't have a defined sacral, which is the center of energy and excitement and productivity. Okay, and I don't have a defined ego Center, which is the center of willpower and motivation. So anytime I think about working out because of the way that I've grown up in the society that I live in, I feel like it takes energy and willpower. And it's not something that I have consistently. And so now I get to say, Oh, I get to play with different ways of using my body without attaching my value to it, which is what I had done in the past, before I learned Human Design. Before I learned human design, I would say Oh, I'm a person who doesn't have a lot of willpower, oh, I don't have enough motivation to stick to any program. Something's wrong with me. Now I'm like, Oh, I'm actually designed in this lifetime to have nothing to prove. So I get to play with my willpower and the things that motivate me. And I also get to release them and try on new things. And the same thing with my productivity and my energy, right? I get to play when I have this influx of energy come through or when I'm around someone who has that center defined, I get to play with it and be excited about it. And then I don't shame myself for taking more breaks and more rest in between. Because that's that's how I'm designed. And we were talking about this before you hit record with Serena Williams, right. It's like, she had this massively successful career. And then she had an injury. And now it's time to take a break. And she's a mental projector. And so I imagine she has narratives around you know, how productive she can be and how much energy she can output and the things she does in between matches. So, yes, one of the many things I love about human design.

Bridget Moroney  13:35

Yeah, no, it's, it's so it's so fascinating. And I like that you brought up the whole idea of playing like, you know, learn yourself, accept yourself, like that acceptance part piece, I think is so critical again, and like in any type of coaching, whether it you know, you know, whatever field you want to go into there, but it's so critical. And then, you know, as you mentioned, once you you, you solidify that, then it's then it's play experiment and things like that versus like, I'm going to experiment with this, but because but not from the mindset of play and experiment, it's more of like, oh, maybe I should do that. And it's, you know, again, coming from a place of not truly knowing themselves. Yeah, Serena Williams, it's I obviously don't know her personally, I can't speak for for, you know, her mindset and things like that. But I do think about her. I think about her situation in general. And then like you said through the lens of her her unique design, because she did have this phenomenal career. I mean, you want to talk about the GOAT there she she at this point in history, I would say and I think many would agree is one of the greatest of all time tennis players if not female athletes. I mean what Ah, you know, I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about I have so much admiration for her, but it's just like, you know, what she had accomplished in her career and, and I watched a documentary about her and just kind of her health. And when when she went through motherhood and things like that she had an embolism. I don't know if you were aware of that. So she's, she's gone through so many things. And yeah, this knee injury that she had, it's, it's unfortunate, but as you mentioned, you know, now she's at this point where, at least physically, it is time to maybe take a break and rest and everything else like that. And so let's get into to human design a little bit more deeply. And I don't I'll leave it up to you and how you want to introduce this, again, kind of gave an overview. It's an empirical system, but there's so many parts to it. Like, truth be told, I don't even like, there's just so much detail between like lines and numbers. So I don't know if there is a best way just to kind of give, I don't know, I don't know, you tell me, what are maybe the the biggest things that we can focus on or should focus on, especially in the light of health, performance, exercise, all of that.

Tangie Nadimi  16:19

Yeah. So if you're listening, and you haven't already, you can go to thefeelgoodexpert.com, go to your chart, you can get a free chart, and look up your design. And I think it helps to kind of follow along and get an idea of like, oh, this is how I am versus this is how another person is and this is how I show up. Interesting, interesting. Interesting, right? So there's that human design is, I mean, it's just the coolest, right? So I said it's an empirical system, meaning like, once once it's introduced to you, it starts to prove itself. And you start to really resonate with like the words that are coming up and the different ways that you manage your energy, and it's super cool. And the way that it came about was this man named Ra Uru Hu, who before, I mean that he changed his name to Ra Uru Hu before his name was Alan this man named Alan. You had, you had this download, okay, he's living in Ibiza, Spain, and he had this eight day visit with a voice, okay. And the voice kind of like, downloaded this instruction manual for him to combine Western astrology. With the I Ching, which is an ancient system of Chinese divination. There's, there's 64, 64 ways of moral decision making basically, and the Kabbalah Tree of Life, okay. And then the chakra system. So we took these four ancient systems that that societies have been using for 1000s of years, we put them all together, and it basically creates a map of you. And so like the very first things, you learn about your human design, or your type, strategy and authority, and generally everything in human design goes back to type strategy and authority, because this is going to tell you the way to manage your energy and the way to make decisions. And I mean, that gets you pretty far, that's gonna get you pretty far in life, just knowing how to manage your own energy. No longer be ashamed of it no longer feels like something's missing, just kind of have this acceptance of this is who I am, and this is my energy. And here's how I manage it. And then as opportunities come to you through your experience, you know how to make decisions, you know how to make the decisions that are most aligned to you based on your design. So just putting in your birth date, exact time and location is going to pull up this map for you. And you and now all of a sudden you have like this, this work this workbook, right this thing that you can work with that you that is very strategic and tells you exactly what to do and how to do it. Okay, so human design, there are five types, kind of like astrology, right? We have the 12 different signs. The first thing you learn about human design is you learn your type. 70% of people on the planet are generators and manifesting generators, which means they have a defined sacral, which is what you have Bridget, and this gives you lifeforce energy, you create lifeforce energy within your body and it radiates outside of you. The thing is, you have to be excited about what you're engaged with. Because the inverse is true. If you are ignoring your gut responses, if you're ignoring your sacral the life gets sucked out of you. You literally feel everything drain out okay? So this is 70% of people pretty simple respond with your gut to what's coming to you respond with your gut to opportunities based on your level of excitement because this is your body literally telling you do you have the energy to sustain this commitment or not? And so if your guts like heck yes, feels you know, you feel sparkly, and like just fills your whole body with energy. You're like, okay, yeah, I've got the energy for this because this excites me. And if you feel like everything gets sucked out, like what's wrong with me? Do I need more coffee? Why can't I do this the way that other people do that? Why can't I do this thing that this person wants me to do? But my body tells me No, that's, I mean, that's a gut no. The gut doesn't speak in words. It's like caveman sounds like, Oh, yeah. And so anytime you're starting to like use words to try to rationalize the decision, that is you getting away from your body.

Bridget Moroney  20:23

Red flag, kinda.

Tangie Nadimi  20:25

Red flag! That's the first two types generators and manifesting generators. The next type is a manifester. Okay, and they are designed to get things started for us, like they're trailblazers, which means they are very individualistic people. And they've got to like be on their path. And they cannot ask permission. And they cannot take a lot of input from the outside because it differs them from their path. And it's usually very different. It's very outside of the box. But it's how they're designed to be. And so in through conditioning, they become people pleasers, and they start to get away from themselves in their search and feel very misaligned. And they're different than 90% of people. And they're like, why am I not like the generator? Why don't I have this define sacral. But really, a manifester is the most magical when they're doing whatever they want to do. If they don't, it says, Then there's projectors, which is my type. And also, we don't have the defined sacral. But we're here to provide efficiency, we're here to provide guidance, we're here to like, make people's lives a little bit more streamline. And if we are in our energy, we're really trying to be productive all the time and keep up with the generators, it doesn't give us the opportunity to step back and say, How could this be better, right? Doesn't give us the opportunity to get this like 30,000 foot view and say, like, Oh, now I see now that I'm not in the weeds in the process. Now I see how this could be different. Let me provide some guidance. And so those are the four main types, there's a rare type called reflectors that only represents 1% of the population. They don't have any of their centers define. And so they basically absorb and amplify everything and everyone. And it can be very confusing if you don't know human design. But they're all of the types are designed to work perfectly together. And that's what's really cool. And so when you stop shaming yourself and trying to be who you're not, you start to see that you really do have a place in this world. And it's actually very, very important. And not denying the way that you're built helps you find your place and feel aligned and like feel really good. That's my whole thing. Like don't do it. If it doesn't feel good. If human design sounds like the dumbest thing you've ever heard, don't do it. Throw it away. Okay, I knew about human design probably five years ago. And I was like, That's ridiculous. Like, that's got numbers in it. That's, I mean, that is just that's too much. Like, I don't know what you guys are doing over there. But that is that's insane. Get away from me, right. But it because it it came into my energy field because it came into my aura, just stayed there. And it started to fester. And I knew that my oldest son was a manifester. And so it started to change the way that I parent, because how do you parent someone that you can't tell what to do? Right? You got to think outside the box, you got to do things differently. You have to like really kind of follow their lead and let them self direct. So it changed the way that I parent, I really understood my son better than I understood myself. And before I understood myself, but once I saw like, this person can't not be a manifester, like, that is the only box that checks. You know, all of my life like that box checks. And so when I saw that, and I'm like, Okay, well, what's my type, and I started to live in that and embody that I was like, Oh, snap, this kind of works, right. And then I started to delve deeper. And I started to delve deeper. And then I started to look at other people's charts, right, and this is how it works for anyone, you get curious about it, and then it just kind of just digs into you and you can't not do it anymore. So that's like the main thing, understanding your type, your strategy and your authority. So according to human design, nobody has authority that's outside of their body, right? You are not supposed to listen to somebody else about your body ever. Your your authority is within I mean, a reflector, their authority is through lunar cycles, but still, they're going through their decision making process as a sovereign being. And so this is what I love about human design is just understanding those three things like if you never learned anything else, you're going to massive shifts, I mean, things are going to change in your life. And it's funny how much those few little words resonate as you begin to learn, and then there's like the fun stuff. Once you've been in it for a little bit, a little while you've been practicing. You can learn about your your environment and your digestion and your strongest sense. And all of the arrows and all of the planets and all of the gates and all of the channels and and then how do I interact with this person then oh, there profile numbers, right? There's just so much there, what's my purpose? There's answers to all of the questions are there. But it's so easy to dive in and get started. Just knowing these first three things.

Bridget Moroney  25:14

It's, it's really empowering. I will say that, you know, just speaking from my own experience, like you said, and I'm one of those people were like, yeah, all of the numbers and like I, I, as you mentioned, just have like, that basic understanding of, I guess, my type, which is generator, and I think even understanding that and accepting it, who I am, has helped me so much, because as you said, like, it's it's, it's the excitement verse. And I've, I've, I've, in hindsight, thankfully, I'm not in the, the situation of having my energy drained anymore, but I can go back and and look at different parts in my life, where it was very soul sucking, and everything else like that. And, and exactly what you said, the narrative is like, you know, and there's that kind of taking in the, the narratives from society. It's like, why can't I do this better? Or why is this so difficult for me, I should be doing this. And, and one thing that, I don't know if this is necessarily a human design, an aspect of human design or not, but it's like, just because it's something that I've learned, it's just because you're competent at something doesn't mean that that's what you should be doing?

Tangie Nadimi  26:38

Yeah, exactly. I mean, like, people give me you know, the double chin, and eye roll when I'm like, Just can you just do more things that are exciting? For no reason? Can you tell me more fun, just have more fun, just do more? Like what? No. And it's, it's funny, because generators are so often taken advantage of for their energy, that they get used to it. And they think this is my life. And I'm like, Absolutely not, please have on for no reason. Because anytime I say, Okay, you're a generator, and you make decisions based on your level of excitement. People are like, well, I don't, I'm not excited. Nothing excites me anymore. Like, how do I do that? And I'm like, don't apply this rule to only the biggest things in life. You don't look around and say which purpose is the most exciting? You don't look around and say which career can I hop into and suddenly be excited? It doesn't work that it starts with like doing cartwheels in the front yard, okay? It starts with solo dance parties. It starts with doing things that are fun, for absolutely no reason. Because then you get that embodied experience. Again, you get that childlike energy, you get that excitement, you get filled up, okay? It turned on, lit up, filled up, excited, energized, you feel it, because you have no expectation, and you have no narrative around doing little things that are fun. But then you you, you start to have that that communication with your body. And so when a new career opportunity comes in, now you're so in tune with your gut, that you immediately get this response like Aha, or right, and you don't go to your head anymore, because your guts like absolutely not. I know, I don't have the energy for that. So that's, I mean, that's the suggestion that I always give. And then there's, you know, there's another layer to this as you were talking, and I'm thinking about you, and I'm thinking about Tiger Woods. And you both have this undefined G Center, which is enter of knowing where you're going, knowing who you are, and loving what you do, okay, which is like, for you and me and him because I also have it undefined. We're just trying things on. Okay, we're just we're sampling we're playing along the way we're not designed in this lifetime to pick one career and just stick with it forever. And I know that that sounds a little counterintuitive for Tiger Woods. However, his G center is fully open, okay, there's no gates in his G Center, which means he was absorbing and amplifying the direction that someone else wanted him to go. And we saw that we saw that in his lifetime, he had no concept of his own direction, having that center fully open. He was just like, you know, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. And I have this energy near me that is so clear and focused on direction I'll take that and I'll make that mine. And that's actually a little bit misaligned. And then we see other patterns in his life come up kind of like acting out right? Because with that fully open center. He was he is designed to just kind of like go through life with a lot more fluidity. Identity, fluidity. fluidity, fluidity in the path that he takes and the different careers that he has. That's how he's designed to go through life. But if he holds on to that, that narrative of his father, then he's always gonna feel like something's a little bit off. Something's over Little bit misaligned. What's wrong with me? Why can't I nail this down? Why can I love this career? I'm good at it. Why can't I love it? And it's like, no, that's not the question to ask. It's like, what else is exciting in the world? What else can I try on? What else can I play with? And so that's you and I as well, right? Like we've tried a lot of paths like human design, I'm almost 40 And I just got here. I've done a handgun classes, I've painted murals, okay, I used to have a an investment license, like I've done, I've tried on all of the thing and parenting as a stay at home mom, for seven years like, and in the past, I would shame myself and be like, Why didn't I figure out my life sooner? Why didn't I go to college and like, you know, nail down that degree and just do that thing forever. And I could have been so much farther ahead. And I could have been so much more successful or whatever. That's actually not true. I would have felt like, crap, right? Because that's not how I'm designed. I'm not designed to just nail down one thing designed to sample and play with careers. It's not as big a deal as society makes you think it is. Right? As long as you're bringing in income, who cares? And even if you're not, I mean, as long as you're eating

Bridget Moroney  31:10

as long as Yeah, exactly. As long as like going back to like, kind of the basics of human survival or needs there. Like food, shelter, water. Yeah. Like, um, yeah, yeah, it's so so much so much that I resonate with there because yeah, just like, I'll just kind of echo you know, you know, my, my personal history or career history, I kind of mentioned it, but it's like, yeah, I've definitely sampled a whole bunch of different things. And when I look at myself, compared to my peers, you know, a lot of my friends, they got their job right out of college, they're in the same throughout the same company. 20 years still, and and, you know, I hope it's working for them. It seems like it's, you know, it's providing them what they need, you know, in life, and that's great. But, yeah, that that didn't, that didn't, I guess, go that way. For me. And again, it's like, having that gut instinct, like, going back to like, when people would ask me in my, my younger, my earlier years, you know, in the 20s, or in my 20s. Um, but yeah, I would just be like, the one thought that came to me, and I don't know if I ever said it out loud to anyone, but it's like, if I were, if I were to have a job where I had to sit in an office all day. I believe the words I used was, it would crush my soul, which is such a generator thing. Um, but yeah, but but getting back into the, I guess, kind of the more health fitness thing about it like, Yeah, that's so interesting, what you said about Tiger Woods, because anyone who knows his personal history knows that, yeah, from an early age, his father influenced that. And he, again, someone who's had a massively successful career, but if you're familiar with his personal life, and everything he did, as you point out, kind of have these acting out. And so it does make me wonder, it makes a person wonder, like, Is this is this truly your passion? Like, I heard in another podcast interview, someone asked Tiger Woods, like, you know, what do you think of when you get up in the morning? And it's like, winning. That's, you know, so kind of which, okay, yes, you're, you're the greatest of all time, like you have a very successful lucrative career, but kind of tapping into what you were saying about just enjoying things and doing things that like, light you up, like, I guess what I what I would argue is like it again, it makes one wonder like, okay, winning is your focus, which any athlete wants to win. It's your job, but it's like, what if the narrative were like, I'm really into golf, or like this, this, this game just inspires me? And maybe it does. You know? Maybe there's some other interviews out there? Well,

Tangie Nadimi  34:11

he does have, he has his ego center defined. Okay, so he is motivated, he's motivated to manifest because he has the throat center tied to the ego center, like he's motivated to, to achieve what he wants to achieve materially using that defined ego center. But having the fully open G center is like, but who am I? Right? Who am I, at the end of the day, I'm, I'm always searching for my identity. I know that I can channel my willpower and my motivation to win. I know that I have a competitive spirit. I know that this helps me manifest material things in life, but who am I? And that's the question that he's asking. And then he also had, I mean, he has three fully open centers. So you know, I can go all over the place with that, but I'm glad you brought that up because it's like These energy, we all have nine energy centers, and they each have a way of communicating. And once you start to learn how the energy centers communicate, you start to understand what's yours and what isn't. And what's behind that narrative. And where did that come from? Did that come from outside of me? And it's something that I'm holding on to that isn't mine? Or is this me? Right? Is this something that's consistently a message from my own body that actually works for me, so,

Bridget Moroney  35:25

so getting into health and exercise, there's the primary health system for from human design. And so I guess, if you could tell us a little bit more about that,

Tangie Nadimi  35:34

okay, so this is actually a very exciting part of human design. For me, according to human design, you have like, a physical body aspect. And then you have a personality aspect, okay. So it's like, my, my genetics, like the physical body that I got the brain like, everything biological. And then it's like, who I think I am. And so so many different methodologies tap into, like, who you think you are personality tests, ask you who you think you are. But it doesn't actually combine that with like, how you're wired, like how your physical body has been put together. And so this is what human design does. If you look at any chart, there's on the left side, there's one color, that's the design side, that's the physical body. And on the right side, there's another color, that's the personality side, that's like, how you perceive Okay, who you think you think you are, basically. And so the primary health system says, Okay, we're going to look at this physical body, we're going to look at all of the different attributes that you came in with, we're going to look at all this plate these placements. And based on these placements, there are certain ways to nurture and care for your physical body that help you optimize the function of it, particularly the brain function. And that's where we get primary health system. And that's why it's on the left side of the chart, because this is how you care for the physical body. And then you also combine that so everything in your chart is a combination of who you think you are, and how you're actually built and wired and what you came in with from your, you know, genetic code. So the primary health system gives you clues and direction as to how to use this, this vehicle that you're in. And some of the things that we get from it. When you look at your chart properties are what is your strongest sense, in human design, we call that your cognition. It's like the way that you take in the outside world, which of your senses. And in human design, we have six, which of the six senses is strongest for you? And for you to kind of perceive and, and conceive things as they come to you. Then there is your digestion, like how do you actually digest food in your system? What are the optimal either ways to digest or the conditions in which to digest? And then there's environment as well that says, like, what, what place can you put yourself in, that makes you feel most aligned with who you are in your physical body. And so all of those things will show up in your chart properties. Not every website has it. Some do, some don't, some have a few and not others, I made sure to put all three of those things on my website. So if you just type in your info, you'll be able to see those things and kind of start to align and support your physical body so that you can also emerge into your personality and your purpose.

Bridget Moroney  38:27

Well, speaking about digestion there, I guess, let's go. Let's kind of talk about that a little bit there. Because you mentioned something about, I guess it relates to my digestion before we started officially recording, just talking about when I should eat. And I guess that kind of plays into the digestion, like when, how and everything else like that?

Tangie Nadimi  38:50

Yeah, so there are 12 different types of digestion and human design. And the bottom six are like the way you consume. And then the top six are the conditions in which you consume. And so there are some people that it's only conditional, and there's some people that it's only like, literally the way that you you eat the food. And so for you, you're in the the upper tones, meaning like, do what you want, as long as you're meeting these external conditions, because this is what's aligned for the physical body that you came in with. And here's was indirect light, right? So there's direct light, and there's indirect, okay, so someone who is direct means that it's ideal for them to eat most of their meals when the sun is up. And so you're the opposite. It's really ideal for you to eat, consume most of your calories, not in daylight hours, right? And I you know, that that doesn't align with most of what you hear. However It's, it's, it's what your body likes. And so if you kind of try it on for size, and you say, Does my body like this? Once I've released the narratives and the conditioning around what society supposed says I'm supposed to do with my body I just try this on and say I'm just gonna eat most of my meals before the sun comes up or after the sun goes down, and just kind of see what falls into place. This is what human design does for you. And it's not like dogmatic, you don't have to do it and you're not gonna die if you don't do it. It's it's empirical, right? And so as you go farther along in your experiment, and you're honoring your type, strategy and authority, you may find that things start to emerge and new things emerge and patterns emerge, and you start to see like, Okay, I do have these certain hunger cues at nighttime. Why? I don't know why. Oh, because my body just kind of came in with that.

Bridget Moroney  40:34

No, and I liked that you mentioned the word dogmatic because it's ironic, because we are talking about something that has a spiritual element or a basis in spirituality. But in my opinion, and I think a lot of people, other people share this opinion, nutrition is very dogmatic. Because yeah, you have these, you know, kind of the whole tribe mentality. I'm just thinking specifically, like, you know, my experience in the world of CrossFit there, the Paleo diet was, at least at one point, and is, I think it's probably still to some degree, pretty popular, but it became so dogmatic and the tribalism around it is like, yeah, paleo, but um, but aside from that, like, yeah, just nutrition in general, there, there are so many different types of diets, so many different applications. And again, everyone kind of has their own take. There like intermittent fasting, I'll just using that, as an example. Intermittent Fasting is something where like, some people love it, but then there's some people that are like, Oh, it's bullshit, you don't need to do it. But it's like, okay, but there's some people out there too, like, what you're saying is like that, genuinely don't need to eat breakfast, or don't feel hungry. But then it's like, oh, but if you want to do this, this and this, you need to be able to consume this. And and I guess that's kind of going back to like being dogmatic or not like, I think for people who exercise and train for specific purposes and outcomes, sometimes, in my opinion, you might need to do something in order to achieve those results, right?

Tangie Nadimi  42:17

I mean, I think if we look at all different, all the 12 different types of digestion, we can find a diet to match. And we were kind of talking about this, before we started Serena Williams, Tom Brady are both consecutive appetite and consecutive is a little bit of a weird one. This is one in Human Design says eat one thing at a time, just one like one single ingredient, eat one ingredient at a time. That's consecutive appetite. And when you look at like how, when paleo started that that's kind of what it looked like, right? It's like getting very, very basic and getting very, very much into Whole Foods. And getting away from all of the stuff that's mixed together and all the processed foods and just like looking at these high quality, whole food ingredients. That's consecutive appetite, it's just you, you consume literally one single ingredient before moving on to the next on the other side of that one is alternating appetite. Okay, and this is your, you're consuming the single ingredient, but you're alternating it between each bite. Okay, so it's like charcuterie board. And there are people that just love that style of eating like that snack plate type of eating. Okay, mine is closed taste. And on the other side of close taste is open tastes, which means we eat the same things over and over again. And I've done this my whole life. I've literally done this my whole life. And I kept talking myself out of it, because I'm looking at society. And I'm looking at what everybody else is doing. And I'm like, Oh, maybe I should eat more variety, right? Oh, I'm gonna be unhealthy if I don't get every single color of food in my plate every single day. And it's like not, I'm actually designed to just eat the same things over and over again. And I'm I'm a total weirdo about it, right? Like, we are the most brand loyal people in the world, I would go to 10 different stores to get the one type of milk that I like, because like, I know, it fits like a puzzle piece in my body. And if I eat anything else, like everything just goes haywire. The next one is hot and cold thirst. And we've seen these diet fads about like eating only soup, are eating only smoothies, right? And I am in my little head, I just imagined, like whoever came up with this stuff. This was there. This was their digestion. And it fits so well that they thought everybody else should do this, you know, which is what we do to else in the world. But it's like, yeah, that's super aligned for your type of digestion. And not everybody else's, because then we go up into the conditional ones. And there's high and low sound. There are people that love to eat with the TV blaring or they have like headphones on or they like to have like lots of conversation or like to be in restaurants where there's lots of sound, and that's a line for them and doesn't matter what they eat. And then there are people that need silence. They need absolute silence, but society would tell us that we're supposed to eat communally like If everything you ever see in the world is like everybody at the dinner table together, which is not, it's not aligned for everyone and we go up to the next tone, there's calm and nervous touch. So there are people that they're nervous, their digestive system is buzzing, they can't sit through a meal, they can't sit still. And these are the kids that get in trouble. You know, when they're younger, because their parents want them to like sit, still don't move, don't kick your feet at the table, but they digest better when their bodies moving, because their bodies buzzing. And then there's calm touch. And these people like they need very much calm surroundings, like they don't want to sit at the table, there's lots of talking, and then all of this stuff happening, right. And then we get to the highest one, it's indirect, light and direct light. And so for someone like you, that's indirect light, society would tell you that everything happens during the day, you're not allowed to be nocturnal. But your body might be telling you otherwise, right? Like, I really want to do this carb loading at the end of the day, right? Like, I have the most energy at night. And I have all of these ideas that society is telling you that I have to sleep at night and be awake during the day, and I don't know what to do with myself. And then of course, there are people that are direct light, and they just want to have patio weather all year long, right? They just want to sit outside and eat. They just want to soak up the sun while they eat. But you know, society would tell us to go sit at the table, right? You have to be sitting at a table you can't be go sit on a lawn chair and eat. Why would you do that? Right? And so it's like looking at all these different things. You can find places of alignment all over the world. But when you're looking in the wrong spot, or you're surrounded by the wrong energy, you start to feel ashamed like, well, I'm different than that. Why am I not paleo? Because I'm not what human design does. I said, Eat whatever you want. But human design does say eat things that the sun has touched, okay? Because this is where energy comes from the sun. Everything on the planet gets energy from the sun. So if you're eating something highly processed, there will be consequences. No matter your digestion time, right? If you're drinking soda, like there will be consequences. Drink it at night, maybe there will be body cause bodily consequences because the sun hasn't touched it. It's not it's not actually food. And so anything in human design, we're talking about real and Whole Foods.

Bridget Moroney  47:13

That is the one thing I think as as dogmatic as the as nutrition can be in general, it's it seems like in my opinion, or observation is that that's the one thing that people can mostly agree on. There is like, if you're, if you're consuming high quantities of ultra processed foods, it's not gonna bode well for your digestion or just overall health really quick talking about Serena Williams. And yeah, Tom Brady, we, you know, again, you and I were talking about this in the beginning, both of them are very, I would say probably 80%, at least in the case of Tom Brady, plant based and people who who know Tom Brady and follow him and his lifestyle it is it is, I would say unconventional in the context of an American football player. Because if you look at football players, it's it's usually a lot of high protein and other sorts of things. People People took interest in his his diet and his eating habits. One because How old is he now? He's like, 43 years. I'm like that he's he's officially I think the the oldest, he's 45. Okay, I wanted to say 45 there. The last two years of my life, I've just, you know, like all of us. But yeah, I mean it and again, it makes you it makes you think because he is the oldest active football player. Right now, if not in history. Again, I would have to go back and look at people like Peyton Manning and Brett Farve and see how far they made it. But I guess the point that I'm drilling down to is like, as a nutrition coach, as someone who's interested in in performance and health, like his diet, whether you agree with it or not, or you think he's like, you know, whatever, kind of doing some weird, some weird shit, they're like, it's working for him and it's allowing him and his body to perform. I mean, he's not just like playing football. He's He's winning the freakin Super Bowl. At Yeah, I guess going back to the age of 43. Now at this point, yeah, like, it's incredible.

Tangie Nadimi  49:14

Yeah. And they're both consecutive appetite, which means their digestive systems are ancient, okay, like, we're looking at, like caveman type of eating. And so people with this type are seeking out the freshest and the finest whole food ingredients like that put their body wants, okay. And there's a little bit of a balance here, right. So when you're an athlete, you've got to look for the freshest and finest whole food ingredients and then you have to make it healthy for you so that you optimize your function, sometimes with consecutive alternating appetite because they're such foodies. They start to like look for foods that are super indulgent and rich, because they love like fine, fine ingredients, and then they be because they're looking for these foods that are very rich and indulgent, it's it's mixing ingredients together, right? So you're taking this super, really healthy ingredient, but then you're adding salt and butter and cream, and you're mixing it all together. And then your body doesn't know how to digest that. Because it enjoys that that whole food ingredient. But it doesn't, it doesn't digest more than one thing at a time super well. So when you look at someone who's plant based in Whole Foods, a lot of times, they're they're taking in these like really, really high quality ingredients. And I think you said that he does eat meat intermittently, but it has to be super high quality meat, they're taking that in, and they're taking it in one at a time, so that they can be very, like clear in their body and in their digestion. And they can optimize the function of this vehicle. And that's one of the things that super aligned in human design, right, it's like starting to understand, Oh, I've been craving these these fine ingredients, but I've been mixing them up. So let me start to take away all of that extra stuff that that doesn't stimulate my body, it stimulates my brain, right? Like when we when we processed sugar. When we add lots of fats to things when we add salt, like that's, that's more of a brain stimulation that's more of like a little hormone hit, then it it like stimulating this vehicle. When you start to get like really clean and clear about your diet, then your vehicle gets optimized. And Human Design is just another layer to say Okay, and this is a shortcut. This is a way to do it that works with this system that you have.

Bridget Moroney  51:30

Yeah, no, it's it's it's so interesting. I mean, I'm just thinking I'm just reading or looking at Tom Brady's diet right now and talking about like singular ingredients or things like that. And I think this is where his diet gets criticized because he eliminates nightshade vegetables, which if you talk to like a registered dietician, or nutritionist or anyone who's more Science Based they're like oh, there's no science to support that but for him in his digestion at least you know that's what I'm inferring. But yeah it's it's a it's a lot of foods are eliminated, including nightshade, vegetables, foods containing gluten, dairy, corn, soy, MSG, there's no coffee or alcohol. foods containing GMOs, sugar, trans fats are not allowed. The diet focuses on consuming whole foods over processed one's plan follows an 80/20 pattern consisting of 80% vegetables, whole grains and beans, other 20 is lean meats. And I would probably added, you know, because he's Tom Brady, and has the the accessibility there probably it's grass fed, you know, wild caught like that, again, like the finest of ingredients. certain fruits are also consumed, protein powders, bars, nuts, seeds are on regular rotation. Again, I would I would probably comment there that that's probably the athlete part because I'm just thinking about digestion. The reason why many athletes can and should and do consume protein powders and protein bars is because of just you need some sort of nutrition or energy and that's quick digested, like you can't sit down and eat a chicken breast and some a cup of rice before football practice. Right. So yeah, and I would just note, like we were talking about, you know, again, human design is is very individualized. And that's so wonderful about it. And in the context of nutrition, especially with someone like Tom Brady, I think this is where people in general miss the mark is they see like, oh my god, Tom Brady eats like this. He's amazing. He's 45. And still, you know, winning Super Bowls. I'm going to eat like that. And then they eat like that. And maybe it doesn't work out for them. So again, it's kind of like that. That disclaimer there about any diet. I think all diets work for you like there's. Have you ever heard of the carnivore diet? Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's it's ridiculous. And again, it gets it gets a lot of shade thrown its way but some people really thrive on it. And yeah, who am I to say, don't do that if it if you're thriving on it.

Tangie Nadimi  54:03

I literally did this to myself last week, and I gave myself just the worst, horrific food poisoning because I decided in my little brain, instead of like listening to my body, I decided in my little brain, like I need to do more, I need to be healthier, I need to work out more I need to eat more protein, I need to do XYZ right. And so I went to the store and I bought a bunch of greens and I bought a bunch of fish and I was like I'm going to eat this like super healthy diet. I'm gonna have you know, high protein and I have a lot of vegetables. I'm not gonna have as many carbs as I usually have and I'm just gonna do that. Like the people out there do right? And so I brought this salmon home. I tried to cook it I don't know how to cook the things. First of all, what I tried okay and then I kept like breaking it up to make sure it was fully cooked because you know this is and then I put it on the cutting board and I like took one bite and being close tastes all I had to do was look at it. Literally when I looked at it. I was like I don't want that, but I'm trying to force something that doesn't fit, right. So I took a bite and I'm like, still don't want hate disgusting, right? So I'm like, if I covered in salad dressing, it'll be okay. If I put it in a salad and I just put a lot of dressing on, I won't notice it and I'll get my protein right. Three more bites. I'm like, I hate this. This is horrible. This is not me. I didn't want to cook it. I didn't want to look at it. I didn't want to eat it. Like I absolutely know. Every single day what I want to eat absolutely. Like, there's no question. I eat the same things over and over again. No consistency there. I ate it. That night, had cramps in my stomach all night. That's odd. The next night, I mean, shitstorm. Okay, when I mean that literally Oh, no, oh, consecutive hours of just everything that has been in my body this year not being in my body anymore. I'm just horrible. And it was such a lesson to me. Because one, I have a fully open ego center. So I always think I have something to prove when I don't know, I'm like, trying to prove to myself and others that like I can be really fit. And I can be really healthy, and I can do the things. And when I do that, and I go outside of my own digestion, all I do is shame myself and make myself sick, right? Because I got past this, I go back into my little pattern. I mean, I have the same thing for breakfast every day. I have the same thing for lunch every day. If I feel like eating dinner, it's gonna be the same thing. And I'm so happy with it. And I never gain weight. I mean, I haven't gained weight in 12 years, right? This is just it. This is it for Me. And anytime I now that I know my design, anytime I veer away, it's like, I've consciously know, I consciously know what's going to work and what isn't. And it's just me thinking that I have something to prove. When I don't, I actually don't. So here I am back today in my little closed taste. And we eat things seasonally. Okay, so like for open or closed taste. Ideally, we would be eating foods locally, according to the local season. But some people eat like, I'll eat something for two or three years at a time. And then one day, I'll wake up and it's disgusting. I can't eat it anymore. And then, you know, there are certain things that cycle in and out based on season, like extra fruit during the summer, not during the summer extra soup, things like that. But just getting to a level of self acceptance there. And just saying like, this is it, this is my body, this is what my body wants. And I can I can now observe, I can be an observer of all of the things that are happening in the world. And I can look at you, Bridget like doing your you know, picking things up and putting them down again. And I'm like, that's so cool that she just gets so much excitement picking things up and putting them down again, like Tom Brady, and he's like, super cool diet, right? And like, you know, people that are doing the Paleo things, and I can be like, Yes, I'm observing that like, that is part of my reality. And that's super cool. And I don't have to absorb that. I don't have to make that who I am. Because now I know who I am. And I'm aligned with myself. And I kid you not like it feels right? You have any doubt, this is what happened. My friend had me download my fitness pal and track my calories. He's like, Yeah, you eat a lot of carbs. And you know, that's a lot of calories, then I'm like, okay, so I tried to do the opposite. But this is what I'm saying, my, this is what my body wants, and I don't gain weight, or no, there are no adverse effects, or I'm not ill like I feel the healthiest I've ever felt in my life. My body doesn't change, like, my skin is great. I look young, like everything is fine. The only time anything isn't fine is when I try to take something in from society. When I try to make a narrative that isn't my own mind and shame myself. That's the only time things aren't fine. And again, this is what I love about human design is it gives you that framework gives you that context to be able to communicate to people and say, I honor what you're doing, because I see who you are and how you are and how that works for you. And this is who I am. And this is this is what works for me. And we're different people. And that's cool. I mean, if all of society could just say that, wouldn't we be in a better place?

Bridget Moroney  59:07

Really quick. So I want to get into exercise by type. And I guess in the in the context of these, these athletes that we're talking about here, maybe even sport by type I know we kind of talked a little bit about Tiger Woods, but exercise by type. So how how does that kind of work with with the Human Design System?

Tangie Nadimi  59:29

Yeah, so we talked about how generators are the majority of people. So if you have that generator energy, either you're a generator or you're a manifesting generator, it's important for you to exhaust all of your energy reserves every day, so doing like high intensity exercise, like having something that type pulls energy is going to be really important for a generator. And if you're not doing that, you might start to notice problems with your sleep because you have leftover. You have energy reserves still because Your energy hasn't been depleted every day. So for a pure generator, right, you don't have the defined throat connected to a motor center, you're not a manifesting generator for a generator, it's like you may find that thing that excites you, and just do that thing. And maybe you do it every day, right. But the important thing is to like what you're doing to like the workout that you're doing, because we know that there are a bazillion available, I mean, there's just literally billions of workouts available to like, the thing that you're doing is the utmost of importance, to feel that gut response to the exercise that you're doing. So that you, you go back to it, because you're excited about it, and you keep going back to it. And then it puts you in this rhythm and this cycle of being able to deplete your energy reserves, and sleep really well. And get more embodied get really in touch with your gut. Because you are feeling that excitement on a daily basis, you're engaging with something that you love for a manifesting generator, they get impulses, and they change their mind a little bit more often. So they're really good at refining. So they might like a certain exercise one day and a different exercise the next day, right. And they might like to go to different classes and sample different things. As long as you're excited. Well, it's okay to follow those impulses. But it's the gut first, right? It's not the brain first, it's not like the throat versus the gut first. So make sure that you're responding based on your level of excitement. And then do as as many different workouts as you want. Like I have a friend, that's a manifesting generator, and she loves to lift, and she loves to do cycling, and she loves to do Zumba. And she'll just go in this rotation of things, and she'll follow her energy. So you're going to consistently have the energy as long as you like what you're doing. And again, there's so many narratives in society that like working out is supposed to be hard, you're supposed to challenge yourself, you're supposed to push yourself and you're supposed to do things that you don't like, right? generators and manifesting generators do the things you like to do. Number one, very, very important for a projector, which is what the type that I am in, this represents about 20% of people, we don't have that defined sacral Okay, and we have a much more sensitive aura. So it's really okay for a projector to kind of like use the energy when it's there. And rest when it isn't like resting is actually just as active for someone who's a projector. Because if you are trying to act like a generator, you're gonna make yourself ill in the other centers, and we talked about Serena Williams a little bit without that definted sacral. Even if you're, you know, you're excited about new love what you're doing, you still don't have those consistent energy resources. Okay. And so we'll move we'll try to move to the other motor centers, right. So the one below is the route, and we'll give ourselves Adrenal Exhaustion by trying to use that other motor if we have it, or we'll move to that center of willpower and motivation. And we'll give ourselves heart palpitations or heart issues, or move over to the emotional center, right, or we'll move over to anywhere that we can find in our body, and we'll exhaust a whole other system, because we're trying to act like somewhere that we're not. So for me as a projector, like, I'm active when I'm active. And when I'm not, I'm not, and I have to be okay with that. And it just doesn't take a lot for me, like going on walks, I love it. And it's like a good exercise. It's good cardio for me, like I'll go, you know, I go on hikes, long distances up and down hills, but I'm not running. I'm not running. That's not for me, it may be for some projectors, but it's not for me. And so really honoring your energy. And the other thing that I'm doing now that I've learned through human design, is I can call in people that have centers defined that I don't, so I can kind of feed off their energy when they're with me. So like working with a trainer, for example, if that trainer has a defined sacral and or a defined ego center, then I can feel their energy in their motivation when they're with me and I can use it and then I can go and take a break after the fact right I can go back into my own energy field and I can I can, you know move through the world the way that I do, but I can use that support person to give me that that little extra boost of energy that doesn't naturally occur in my body. And it's similar for manifestors but a little bit different manifestors, get these impulses. Okay, so a manifestor most likely will get super excited about this new workout, and they will go headfirst and all in for a little while. And it's like zip and then they run out of steam. Okay. And so that's that's just how your body works. And it's okay to get excited about something new. Try it on, do the thing, let your body experience it and then take a break from it, and then wait for the next impulse to come in. And then lastly is our reflectors. And so no definition in their system. All of the shapes in that body graph are white, and so they can do anything that anyone else can do as long as they don't try to make it consistent. Okay, so like I said, Pulling in a support person that is specific to working out and letting that person letting yourself reflect that person during that time where you want to achieve that goal. And then when they go away, not shaming yourself for taking breaks, and napping, and resting and just being in your energy, and doing whatever it is that you know, you enjoy doing with your life, but pulling in that support and allowing that to be the thing that pushes you forward into whatever type of workout that you want to do. That's all five.

Bridget Moroney  1:05:33

Remind me again, really quick. Which one is is Tiger Woods, we've said so much about is he a reflector No, not

Tangie Nadimi  1:05:40

manifestor. He's a manifesting generator.

Bridget Moroney  1:05:42

He's a manifesting generator. Alright. Yeah, again, going Oh, that's right, because we were talking about the, maybe his challenges there of like, he spent his whole life dedicated to golf. And maybe that's not, you know, we could speculate maybe that's not suitable to him. But um, well, you

Tangie Nadimi  1:05:57

might do training. Sure, leading to tournaments and golf, like golf might not be the only thing that he does or to, to work out his body, right. And so he may find that there are other things that he enjoys doing that he's interested in, like, maybe lifting weights, is something that he does to supplement that career that he has, or maybe running, or maybe a whole bunch of different things like my other friend, that's a manifesting generator, maybe he switches it up. But be him being attached to that career that is golf, right. Like, that's what we see, but possibly behind the scenes, like he's doing other things to supplement that.

Bridget Moroney  1:06:36

Yeah, it's interesting, I never really thought of it in the, through the lens of, of human design, I mean, certainly, I would just overgeneralize here, any athlete here does use other types of exercises, you know, weight training, you know, aerobic training everything, because that's, that's just what strength and conditioning is. And that's just kind of the nature of the game. Like, even though someone's like golf player, like, they're still going to be lifting weights, because they need to get their backs and their hips and to be able to generate that power. But, you know, I guess, kind of going back to what we're talking about, with what feels good, and what makes them come alive. They're like, maybe there is something about these other training modalities that that kind of brings him that, that soul satisfaction or fulfillment, there really quick, you were talking about certain certain people like being able like hiring a personal trainer, and being able to use that, that energy and enthusiasm makes me think about group classes. And you know, again, like coming from like, you know, when I used to do CrossFit coaching at gyms, like, you start to see people show up at the same classes, either because one their friends are there. So again, it's kind of like feeding off of that energy. And, you know, and again, like, on the surface level, it's like, oh, it's, it's my friend, and I want to I want to work out with Tangie today because she's my friend, and I like hanging out with her, but maybe there is like that deeper type of connection or energy that to motivate because especially referencing CrossFit, CrossFit is one of those sports of fitness or training modalities where it is, it is competitive, right? You're, ideally you're competing against yourself, you're trying to push yourself, in my opinion. So there's that or there's it's just, it's the coach again it's the trainer.

Tangie Nadimi  1:08:27

Yeah, and a lot of that comes from the ego Center, one of my best friends. Her chart is very similar to mine. She just she has one more energy center than I do. But we both have the ego center undefined and she loves I mean, she is obsessed with peloton, like it's her thing, okay? And that's what she goes for. She actually goes for the motivation. And so she goes and she listens to these instructors and she absorbs and amplifies the motivation, okay, and the motivation is there when she is the in the energy and listening to the voice of that instructor. And she just, it's like it, it does something magical to her and so she came to me one day. She's like, think I'm gonna be a motivational speaker. Like I want to motivate people like like they do on peloton because they're just so motivational. I just love that. And I'm like, I love that for you. And I'm, I would be really happy to see you try it on. But please don't like attach your, your value or your worth to be able to do that. Because you're going to feel that when you're in the energy of those instructors, you're going to feel that when you're in the moment. And when you're not. It's a little bit more transient and that's okay, right? Like we all have the ability to have willpower, we all have the ability of motivation, and we all have the ability to you know, say things that that trigger something in other people. That's why people go to these like conferences and they go and see motivational speakers. However, when you have a center that is undefined or inconsistent and you start to think that like this is what will give me value this is what will give me worth Right, this is who I'm supposed to be. And then it's not consistent for you, then you start to feel really ashamed. And so human design that helps you kind of release those narratives, but still enjoy the benefit. And that's exactly what I said, like, when I look for a trainer, I'm gonna have to find out their birth time because like, I want to know, what am I getting? Wait, like, what's going to be my energy when you show up, and I tell this story a lot, one of my best friends, her, her chart is very defined, and she's a manifesting generator. And she comes over to my place, often my kids kind of think of her like an auntie. And so I can be like, the most unmotivated slug, like I can just be glued to the couch. And as soon as she walks in the door, like I cannot help but to just like pop up and start doing the things like I just suddenly feel motivated. Because I have that center fully open. And she has it defined, and she just carries that energy of getting things done. Even when I'm like sitting in my office on my computer, I'm like, can you come sit nearby, so that I finish this email, because when you're nearby, I feel motivated. But when I'm by myself, a lot of times I don't. And so it's, it's beautiful to be able to, like, have that self acceptance, and then see how our relationships can really like, we can serve each other. And we can create this compatibility and this chemistry between ourselves and others, and really be able to like, call and support people like you call and support people like me that have whatever it is that is undefined for you. So that you can kind of play with and experience something in this universe and create something new for yourself, rather than trying to like go at it alone and feel like you're an island with all of this inconsistency in your chart. It's like, well, how do I do that? Here and then it wasn't, and then it was here, and then it wasn't? So it's really it's really a cool thing.

Bridget Moroney  1:11:49

It is, it is and yeah, I, I love the the relationship aspect of it all, because, like, as you were saying to me like it, you know, the first step, I guess, again, in the process is just understanding and accepting yourself. But then it's like, as you brought up, like, it's like, okay, I'm, you didn't say deficient, but I guess deficient or or undefined is the is the language I'm undefined and this aspect, but, you know, I, maybe I can resource someone else there. It just makes me think about like, maybe some of these deeper, more subconscious, things that are at play here. That's

Tangie Nadimi  1:12:26

all Yeah, I mean, in human design, we have something called connection charts. So first of all, you can just look at any chart, and the things that are overlapping the things that are colored in and overlap, that's a basis for friendship, okay? Because it's like I see you, you see me, and neither of us is really influencing the other because we're each bringing our own energy, and we recognize this energy. And then the centers that you know, you have undefined and a person another person has undefined defined, or vice versa. Like this is this is chemistry because it's like, oh, that's new, I feel a new energy here, right? This is exciting. Like, I haven't felt this before, right? We say that a lot when we meet someone I've never felt this way before, is because you're like pulling in energy to your aura that wasn't there before. And the cool thing, when we do connection charts in human design, there's something called an electromagnetic channel. And so if you have a gate on one side of an energy center, and someone else has a gate on the other side, and in the next energy center, that's harmonic, okay, that completes a channel, then all of a sudden, like you have this connection, and this new way of communicating, that wasn't there before. And it only works between you and that one person, right? Like I've synced up with people, because I have the 11th gate, and it's coming from the Arjuna. I've seen with people who have the other side of that the 56, gate in the throat. And all of a sudden, like, we just have all of the stories to tell, just tell all of the stories, right? Because this is a gate of, you know, taking your experiences of the past and kind of like creating perceptions around them and like making sense of the world, and being able to express that verbally. And so I sync up with people and they're like, they'll say things like, Well, I've never told anyone this story before. I've never had so many stories to tell, wow, I forgot that that even happened. But suddenly, you're here and I want to tell you this story. And it's like electromagnetic channel. And this happens all over the chart. There's 36 different channels potentially. And so you connect with someone and like, get this like Sparkiness excitement. And it's like, wow, I have this potential that I didn't see. And then I didn't know before. Where did that come from? Oh, it's because when you put these two auras together, it creates something brand new, and you get to look at a brand new chart. And I think that that's kind of like what's happening. When you team people up. It's like you're able to see how that energy shifts. And if it's the match with the intention, right if the if it's a match with the sport that they're doing, for example, and they're creating this channel that's creating more energy and it like gives something to each person and they're able to like have this fluidity all of a sudden sparks are flying. But when you match up with someone, and maybe there's too much in common, and each person, there's competing energy, right, or you have too many channels that are overlapping, and each person thinks they're right, because they have their own consistency, and they have their own perspectives and their own thoughts and their own energy and their own intuition, whatever it may be, then you get like this, you know, butting of heads. And so it's a super, I mean, there's just a bazillion directions, I can go on human design, as you can tell. I know much. But yeah, it's fascinating.

Bridget Moroney  1:15:30

Totally. Yeah, I know, there's like, you know, like, we kind of said in the beginning, there's, there's just so much to it. And yeah, we could probably do a whole series on all of this yet. With that said, you know, cuz we, even though we, well, I could, as the generator that I am. Go on for a really long time about this. You know, I guess, are there any, any kind of like, final thoughts? Or anything else left to say, just kind of bookend what we've discussed, I guess, specifically talking about the exercise and digestion and just acknowledging that that that is very much just like the tip of the iceberg, what we've what we've discussed today. Yeah, it is,

Tangie Nadimi  1:16:13

I mean, as I've said, I'm the feelgood expert, and I want you to do what makes you feel good. Like, I really, that's what I want you to do. And if that's human design, amazing. And if it isn't, no problem, I am not offended whatsoever. But there is a little caveat here to like, kind of understand the world in which you live, particularly when it comes to food, right? Because and just electronics and all of the things that are available to us in general, there are so many sensory inputs that we can have, that disrupt our hormones there just are okay, and so you have to get clean and clear for any of this stuff to make sense. And for me, generally, like step one is to just understand your chart, understand your design, understand what energy is consistent for you understand what's amplifying, and the easiest way to do that is like what's colored in? Okay, cool. That's me, that's consistent. And if you go to my website, and you kind of like roll over each of the energy centers, you get like a quick description. And I also have hyperlinked a lot of the descriptions, go to free videos, where you can just kind of like get a better idea, but just kind of like getting in alignment with who I am. And then taking inventory. Like, what am I taking in from the outside? That isn't me, or isn't mine, or is something that I'm trying to use to supplement my energy and excitement, for example. So so often, we'll look for dopamine, to supplement or serotonin or any of the feel good hormones, we'll look for those in the wrong places, because we are actively engaged all day long and something that we hate. And so it's like, take inventory. What is it in your life that's working? And what isn't? That's, I mean, that's one of the first things any coaches is going to ask you in a coaching call, Hey, what's working right now? It's not working, because that's where we're going to start. So take inventory, like, how many hours of screen time am I having? I know, it's embarrassing. I know, I don't want to look at it. And I know, it's like, you know, I'm not supposed to do that. And there's so many other things that I could do. Don't make a story about it. Just take inventory. Okay, this is what I'm doing, because my body needs something that it's not getting from from somewhere else. So this is what I'm doing. And how much sugar Am I taking in? Okay, just, I'm taking inventory, just so that I know. Okay, just the number of grams. And I'm not going to make up a story about I'm just going to take it because something is coming in from the outside that doesn't fit. And so if I take the inventory and I say have XYZ amount of hours of screen time, and I have this much sugar, and I do you know I sleep this many hours and I do XYZ thing, okay? So when I'm eating sugar, what's triggering that, for me, it was like, I'm tired, because I was tired of acting like a generator. I mean, I spent my entire life trying to be a generator, and I was tired. And it wasn't, you know, right for me to sleep the number of hours that I slept, supposed to wake up earlier, you know, you're supposed to get seven or eight hours, you're not supposed to get eight and a half and I was supposed to get nine hours we get 10. Don't do that, right? That's like that doesn't work for my body. But I tried to fit, you know, a square peg round hole. So I wake up in the morning, I'm like, Well, what can I do to supplement the energy that isn't there? Because I think I'm supposed to be a generator. Alright, let's drink a bunch of coffee. Okay, I'm gonna spike and then I'm gonna crash. Alright, let's eat some sugar. So I could spike again and crash again, right? Because I need to be productive. I'm placing my value on my productivity. But once I learned human design, I'm like, oh, that's I need to place my value on my naps. That's actually where in my meditations, that's actually where I'm gonna get the most out of life here. And so just taking inventory without any shame without any blame without telling any stories. Just write it down somewhere, right? Make a spreadsheet, whatever you want to do. And then kind of like cross reference that with your chart, and you can look at just the general themes, it lines up with the chakras. And so many of us really, you know, we have a general idea of what the chakras mean. And so it's like, okay, my route, okay, like, I'm not feeling grounded. I'm not feeling connected with my physical body. Why is that? Oh, it's because I'm having some kind of escapism, you know, habit. And I'm not feeling like I'm really in reality. And now you know, I'm starting to have symptoms of depression or anxiety or whatever, okay? And my root's undefined, I need to do something to remind myself that I have a physical body, how can I do that? I can be in the sunshine, I can walk outside barefoot, like, I don't have to create a whole exercise regimen like I don't have to create a whole big thing. Like, I can just remind myself that I'm a human, in this bag of bones in a meat sack floating on a space rock, like, that's all I need to do in order to feel a little bit more grounded every day. And that will help me create balance in these areas of my life that feel a little off, or I'm looking for these little hormone hits. That's it, like pretty freakin simple to just take inventory, and then weigh that against your chart and kind of like get curious. I always say curious over critical. I'm curious about this. I'm curious if and this is how I got to where I am. I mean, it took 15 years. But like, I'm curious about why I'm so tired. I'm curious about why I have such a sweet tooth. I'm curious about you know, why I feel this way around this person. But then when I'm around this person, everything's makes so much more sense. Why can I communicate clearly here, but I can't hear why is that I'm so curious, right. And so, for me, human design just became that framework to where I can understand myself. And it's a context where I can a language where I can communicate with others, and I can coach them very, very specifically, this is you, this is how you are, and this is what we can do with that inventory. But I mean, you don't have to pay me to do like, you can just kind of look around, like just get really curious about what's in my life. And like I said, Remember, remember, remember, no stories, it's facts are not like do not tell a story about it, do not create a narrative, don't like pull in, like the traumas and all of the things, you don't have to do that as a step one in human design, all you have to do is say like, what's here, okay, and then what's me and what isn't. And if you see a lot of things that are white in your chart, like me, I have seven undefined centers, it's like, wow, I pull in a lot of energy from the outside, I'm very sensitive. It's really okay for me in my design to be generally an antisocial person, right? Like, I plan things in advance, I make my commitments I show up to them. And then I take a break. And that's okay, because that's how I'm designed. I'm not a generator, I don't need to go right from this to the next productive thing to the next productive thing to the next productive thing, I can do this. And I can feel fulfilled and excited, and I can take a nap. And then I can do whatever I feel like doing after that. And it's hard. It's hard when you look around at society, and you have these expectations that I should be way ahead of where I am, or this is what I should do, or this is how I should feel. And this is how I should look, you then let that go for a minute. And then and then you'll start to really start to really get from that lack to that self acceptance. And then when you when you've got that self acceptance, then go, come find me, come find Bridget, right, like pulling your support people because you're like, Okay, I didn't feel good. Now I understand who I am and how I am. And now I'm ready to pull in these these support people so that I have very clear focus and intention. And then I get to create the reality that I want. And I get to be very specific with my desires. And I get to really ask, I mean, I get to ask for what I want. Like, we think that we can't, for some reason, we all think that we just can't ask for it. No you can, you get to do that. And so that is I mean, that's self improvement, that's expanding into creation. If you if you look at self improvement from any other angle, it's going to be automatic fail. But if it's like playing, if it's expanding, it's what I can create. If it's curiosity, then it's like, okay, you're improving all over the place and you can't even measure it. You have to measure it because it's happening so fast, and it's so effortless. There's my rant.

Bridget Moroney  1:24:26

Speaking for myself, and I hope anyone who's listening to this shares my sentiment, but I feel I feel personally inspired to have that curiosity for my chart again. And yeah, I love the invitation, to play I love the invitation to be curious and to let go of the narrative. Thank you so much for for today and just that final rant, if you will, or just message call to action, you know, take home lesson there. It's it's been so fun. And again And like I said, I could personally could go on for hours and hours about this but it's it's been a real treat and and yeah, thank you so much Tangie

Tangie Nadimi  1:25:10

 Thank you for having me this I mean I always I always love talking to you and hanging out I mean, it's so

Bridget Moroney  1:25:15

really quick I know you've you've mentioned your website and everything else like that but if people want to get in touch with you if they want to learn more about human design in general or through you if they want to, like look at their chart, where can they find you and all of this awesomeness,

Tangie Nadimi  1:25:30

I always joke that I'm the easiest person to find like, I'm first of all, I might be the only person on the planet with my name, like my full name, because it's so unique and it's so different. But I'm also easy to find because it's important as a projector. So if you're a projector and you're listening, it's important as a projector to be seen and acknowledged and then invited. Okay, so I'm like, I'm chillin. I'm chillin over here. I'm reserving my energy like, I'm not putting my feelers out. Like I'm not doing the things like I'm waiting for invitations. So if you're interested in human design, or anything that human design has to offer, I know it's a complex systems, you have questions about our use some guidance or some direction, come at me like I'm ready for it. So I'm on TikTok, primarily, that's where I create all my video content. And it's super fun. And it's a very easy way to just like kind of get your feelers into every corner of your chart. But TikTok doesn't allow for DM's, so you can follow me there and watch the videos. But it doesn't allow for DM's unless we are mutually following each other. So I'm also on Instagram, my handle on TikTok is @thefeelgoodexpert my handle on Instagram is @thefeelgoodexpert, really easy to kind of like follow along and get graphic images on Instagram, you can DM me there. And then of course, my website is thefeelgoodexpert.com, you can pull your chart, it's absolutely free. You can do it as many times as you want it, I don't ask for your email address, you just type in yourself, you can type in your mom, you can type in your dad, you can talk to your brother, your sister, your kids everything. And you can do as many charts as you want absolutely free. No problem there. And like I said, my website, I'm creating some integrations to where you can really quickly and easily like grasp all of these different concepts. So if you go on my website, you can roll over each energy center and understand the names and the themes of them. And then I also have hyperlinked a lot of the different chart properties. And it'll just go, even if you don't have TikTok, it'll open you up to a one to three minute video that will give you like a really quick, easy usable information on your specific chart. So highly recommend that. Of course, I'm not the only person doing human design on the planet. So there are a bazillion other websites that you can go to. And again, I won't be offended. And you can you can use another website and you can still come ask me questions, no problem at all. But obviously, I have a preference for my website because I made it and I like it. And I try to make the the information really easy and digestible for you, I have a course coming on how to read your chart and read the charts of others. And then I have customized PDFs coming in this this should all be like in the next two months or so. So you'll be able to go pull up your chart. And then quick click one little button and get a fully customized report of of who you are. So all of that is super exciting. I have a YouTube channel. I mean, I have Pinterest, my friend and I have started a podcast on Patreon where you can hear kind of more personal stories like I told today, as I go through my life and how human design relates and impacts and in relationships in parenting in career. So if you follow me on any social media platform, there's going to be a link in bio that will take you to all the other ones. So I try. Like I said, I try to make myself easy to find.

Bridget Moroney  1:28:41

I was gonna say girl, you are everywhere. I'm really quick. So a couple of things. Obviously, I will be putting the link in the show notes for all of the things that that TangiE mentioned, but also what's what's the name of your podcast

Tangie Nadimi  1:28:57

there. We talked about electromagnetic channels for a second there a few minutes ago, and my friend and I, we complete this one channel. It goes from the Ajna, the center of like, perceptions and perspectives and opinions, it goes from the origin to the throat, which is where we really express things. And it's called the channel of the alpha. So she and I complete the channel of the alpha, and for whatever, like, we have like five different channels that that do that. But for whatever reason, she enjoyed that name. And I was like, All right, alpha female. Cool, do it. So it's the channel of the alpha on Patreon. And it's exclusive content, you're not going to find it anywhere else. I think it's a very easy price point to get into for us to be able to share our personal stories and show up every week and give you know, a lot of detailed information on how to like, people always say like, Okay, I understand human design to an extent but what's the practical use? Like what do I do now? Like, how do I show up in my real life? Like I hear all the things you're saying and all the letters and the numbers, but But what do I actually do? And so this is this is what we wanted to create as a place where it's like, this is how my actual life works. And we have examples of 10 different people, right? Because we each have our kids, I have two, she has three, I have my kids dad, that, you know, we're not together anymore. But he's an example that we use. She has her partner, I have my friends that I refer to. So it's like, all of the different types. And all of the different things get covered in real life examples with me, and my friend who doesn't know the first thing about human design. So she asked a really great question. Because I didn't, you know, like, you see, I tend to get on my rants, I'm like, oh, and then there's this. And then there's this. And then this is . She's like, Okay, wait, what is that thing again?
