39. Discovering Human Design for Self-Awareness with Ashley Watkins
Are you curious about what truly drives your energy and decision-making? Ever wondered if there’s a tool that can help you understand yourself—and your team—on a deeper level? Let’s explore the world of Human Design, a practical yet mystical framework that’s transforming how we see ourselves and work together.
Today, the team at The Thread is joined by Ashley Watkins, a certified coach and educator, who shares her journey from the classroom to coaching, and how Human Design became a pivotal tool in her transformation. We break down the “big three” of Human Design—Type, Strategy, and Authority—and discuss how understanding these can help you live in alignment, make better decisions, and thrive both personally and professionally. You’ll also hear candid reflections from our team as we compare Human Design to other assessments and talk about what it means to trust your inner authority.
