Gate 42 - The Cycle Slayer: Why Failure Keeps Repeating in Business

What if failure in your business isn’t actually failure, but an unfinished cycle asking for your attention?

In this episode of The Gates in Real Life, we explore Gate 42 through the lens of Human Design, Gene Keys, and the real-life experience of building a business. This gate carries the energy of growth through cycles... beginnings, endings, lessons, and the expectations we attach to all of it.

We unpack how unmet goals, money stress, and the pressure to “make it happen” can keep coaches trapped in repeating patterns... and why true growth often begins when we loosen our grip.

Inside this conversation, we explore:

• Why the same business struggles keep showing up
• How expectation creates suffering and attachment
• The difference between forcing and trusting
• What “failure” is really here to teach you
• How Human Design and Gene Keys can help you move through business cycles with more awareness
• Why celebration isn’t about everything going right, but honoring the process

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same loop of chasing goals, questioning yourself, or wondering why it feels harder than it should, this episode will help you see those cycles differently.

And maybe with a little more grace.
