131. Are You Overreacting, or Is Your Body Trying to Tell You Something? Human Design & Menopause

What if the feeling you're having is real... but it doesn't necessarily mean you need to do something about it?

In Part 2 of this series on Human Design and emotional waves, Lori Lisai explores what happens when emotional energy intersects with perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal changes can heighten sensitivity, change our reactions, lower our tolerance for bullshit, and make it harder to recognize what is actually happening in our bodies.

Human Design doesn't explain your hormones, but it can give you a framework for understanding your body's patterns and your own decision-making process.

Lori digs into the difference between having a defined or undefined Solar Plexus, how emotional waves can amplify the meaning we attach to everyday situations, and why a mood doesn't always need to be fixed, explained, or turned into a decision.

Most importantly, she gives you a simple process for figuring out what the hell is actually going on:

• What are you experiencing physically in your body?
• What meaning are you immediately giving that sensation?
• Is this yours, or are you picking up someone else's energy?
• If you have emotional authority, where are you on your wave?
• Do you need to communicate right now, or do you need to wait?

You'll also hear practical examples of communicating your needs to the people you love, allowing yourself time before making big decisions, and recognizing when a recurring feeling deserves deeper attention.

Your body is communicating with you. The work is learning how to listen without immediately turning every sensation into a story.

If you're ready to understand your own Human Design and how it intersects with what's actually happening in your life, that's exactly the kind of work Lori does with women in private readings and coaching.
