Perfectly Designed and Deeply Conditioned: Isn’t it Time to Reclaim You

1

You’ve been told to fix yourself, to be more, do more, change who you are. But what if the real work is about unlearning what never belonged to you in the first place?

You came into this world whole. Then life layered on expectations, doubts, and detours. It’s time to strip that away and discover your true self—one step at a time.


I hear a lot about the need for transformation. So have you. 

So many coaches talk about the need to transform and encourage us to work towards transformation. I’ve been among them. But today, I got to thinking what message might actually be received. Are we telling you that you’re not good enough and only we can help you be better?

That question gave me pause.

  • What is it I am really providing for clients? 
  • What is the end game for my clients?

So, I stepped back. Paused some more. Reflected. 

And I realized that every single one of us is in a constant place of evolving. 

You are not the person you were five years ago, and you won’t be the same person five years from now. I know I’m not.  It’s a process gleaned from your experiences and lessons learned (or not) from them. It’s examining the limiting messages you’ve received to identify what needs to go. 

It’s understanding your patterns and decisions that keep you making the same mistakes over and over. If you’re asking the question “Why is this always happening to me?” – then it’s about you and your behaviors. You and your patterns.

Evolution is a journey of transforming into a stronger, more empowered version of who you are today. 

What I do is use a magnificent tool – Human Design – in partnership with intuitive coaching, essential oils, and oracle cards to serve as a guide for your journey to becoming all that you are meant to be.

Here’s the foundational beliefs I have:

#1. You were born perfectly designed. Then life happened. It happens to all of us. Too often, you are made to feel different, awkward, uncomfortable with who you are. You don’t really grasp why you’re not like others in your natal family. You were misunderstood. Human Design clarifies your unique composition so you can stop trying to fit in and begin being comfortable with who you are. 

#2. Life brings all kinds of conditioning messages that we internalize that become limiting beliefs. These beliefs stop you from being all that you are meant to be. Human Design identifies where the conditioning may be, where you’re holding those beliefs, so that you can begin to change them. 

#3. Every single one of us is a unique being. The biggest gift you can give yourself is to know you and come to love all parts of you. Once you appreciate your unique identity, you can begin to live as you are designed – authentically, creatively, and powerfully. Human Design shows you your energetic DNA and can show you where you shine.

#4. Many of us feel less than. Some of us are made to feel bad because we don’t have willpower. Some of us feel ignored and not seen. Some of us are pressured to know all the answers. Some of us can’t be on time for anything. Some of us find we talk ourselves out of what our intuition tells us – often with poor results. Human Design explains your way of being so you can stop fighting yourself. Once you understand these things about you, you’re able to create strategies that support you and how you function.

#5. Burn out is a real thing. It comes from overworking, over-giving, not being able to say no, feeling guilt or shame if you can’t keep up, and just plain feeling exhausted. Taking breaks is unheard of – who ever heard of taking care of oneself first? That’s not how it’s done. Human Design shows you how to best use your energy, make your decisions, and nurture yourself.

Your journey doesn’t have to be filled with the potholes of life. All the pieces of your puzzle are there. I guide you to placing them in the right place to create the whole of you. I know you were born perfectly designed. Getting started is easy. It’s up to you to take the first step. Simply go to aprilgoffbrown.com and schedule your first reading. In 60 minutes you will be on your way to a greater understanding of just how amazing you are so that you embark on the next leg of your journey to evolving.  I hope to see you soon.

The symbol of my business combines the dragonfly and the unalome because it represents your life journey.

The dragonfly’s journey begins beneath the water’s surface until the time is right and it emerges as a graceful, winged being. This profound transformation makes the dragonfly a symbol of change, growth, and the courage to embrace new opportunities.

The unalome is a representation of the path of life. Its base marks the beginning or awakening. The spirals and curves trace the twists, turns, and challenges you face along the way. As the line straightens, it symbolizes the wisdom you’ve gained.

Your journey may have challenges but it is meant to bring you a life of purpose as only you can be.
