32. Why Consistency Doesn't Work for You (And Why That's Not a Problem): Human Design Variable

If your eyes have ever glazed over looking at a launch plan, content calendar, or a time-blocked week and thought, "I get why this is supposed to work, but I’d rather do literally anything else," this episode is your permission slip. Through the lens of Human Design, we’re exploring how your mind works differently and why that was never a problem to fix. We cover the shift from the old model of survival-based strategy to the future of receptive leadership and how to build a business that honors your natural way of thinking. Topics include: * The Strategic Chasm: Why the gap between your true depth and your outward business expression feels so frustrating. * Variable 101: An introduction to the four arrows and why they are need-to-know info for real-life business application. * Leftness vs. Rightness: The mechanics of being Strategic (active/focused) versus Receptive (passive/open). * The Library vs. The Librarian: Why a receptive mind isn't meant to recall info on demand, and how it thrives when prompted instead. * The Future of Business: Why 5-year plans are becoming archaic and how we are moving into an age of individualized, embodied leadership. * Differentiated: A sneak peek into my upcoming masterclass on mental architecture and the six motivations. Ready to start operating according to your cognitive design? Join me this May for a live masterclass on Human Design Variable. We’ll cover Leftness vs. Rightness, the 6 Motivations, and how to practically apply this to your offers and marketing.

31. The Clairs: Recognizing Your Intuitive Gifts with Jazzy The Mystic

Have you ever just known something — taken a different route home for no reason, felt something was off about a situation everyone else seemed fine with, or made a call that turned out to be right later on? For many people, these are the first signs of intuitive gifts that have been there all along. In this episode, I'm joined by Jazzy The Mystic, a 6/2 Self-Projected Projector who built a successful law career before a spiritual awakening at age 30 changed everything. Jazzy now works as a Spiritual Guide for high achievers, helping them cut through the noise and reconnect with the internal guidance system they've been overriding with logic. We get into the six Clairs — what they are, how they show up, and how to start recognizing which ones might already be active for you — why your logical mind tries to talk you out of your instincts, and what it looks like to bring these gifts into your work. We cover: * Jazzy's shift from a logic-focused upbringing to discovering her natural mediumship gifts. * How a disappearing salad forced Jazzy to pay attention to the spiritual activity in her home. * The 6 Clairs — from Clairsentience (clear feeling) to Clairgustance (clear taste) — how to start recognizing which ones are already showing up for you * Similarities between Self-Projected Projectors and Manifestors, and how they can tap into their authority without waiting for permission. * Practical tips for highly sensitive, receptive people to clear their energy and maintain boundaries. * Why the logical mind tries to talk you out of your strongest instincts.

29. Human Design 101: How to Stop Overthinking and Make Confident Decisions

Information alone isn’t enough to create real change, and Human Design is no exception. To get real transformation from this system, you must begin making new decisions. The problem is, most of us were taught to make logical, mentally-sound decisions, and psychology shows that our mind prioritizes safety above all else (even if it makes us miserable). In this episode, we’re going deep on why people struggle with Strategy & Authority, how waiting for the right opportunities can keep you stuck, and how to build self-trust through low-stakes action. Read the blog version of this podcast here. [https://keolaniyoung.com/2026/02/19/human-design-101-how-to-stop-overthinking-and-make-confident-decisions/] We explore: * Why simply learning your Human Design doesn't help * How I navigated a sudden move with Emotional Authority * Why certain authorities require mental processing * The role Cognition plays in day-to-day decisions * The limitations of using Strategy and Authority alone Connect with Keolani: * Join the Variable Masterclass Waitlist [https://keolaniyoung.com/human-design-variable-masterclass] * Get Your Free Human Design Chart [https://keolaniyoung.com/human-design-chart] * Book a 1:1 Human Design Reading [https://keolani.thrivecart.com/human-design-reading/] * ⁠⁠@keolaniyoung on TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@keolaniyoung] * ⁠⁠@keolaniyoung on ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/keolaniyoung] * All the links [https://keolaniyoung.com/links] If you enjoyed this episode of Great Measure, don't forget to rate, review, and share this episode with a friend!

28. How to Post Less and Sell More with Sara Joelle from BTL Copy

It’s time to stop letting the fear of being 'salesy' sabotage your bank account. If your offers are ~chef’s kiss~ but you struggle to promote them as often as you should, this conversation is a permission slip and kick in the butt to start selling with confidence. In this episode, I’m joined by Sara Joelle, [http://www.instagram.com/btlcopy] a Copywriter and Marketing Mentor who helps people connect with their ideal clients, increase their revenue, and gain the confidence they need to lead their brand to their next success story. We explore: * Why we feel like we’re annoying when we sell, and the specific reframe to keep on a post-it note by your desk so you can dissolve that belief for good. * Why you need to speak about your offer WAY more than feels comfortable, and how to do it without being repetitive. * A practical framework for selling brand-new offers without testimonials (or transformative services where the results don't feel completely tangible). * The 3-year-old blog post that’s earned Sara over $30,000 in revenue, and how you can repurpose existing content to sell more without posting more. * How to write copy that feels like a natural extension of your personality rather than an overly-professional avatar that zaps your energy (and your magnetism).
