Welcome to episode 338 of Live Happy Now.

How well do you know yourself and do you want to know more?

That's the question we're going to explore on this week's episode.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and this week I'm joined by Aaron Claire Jones, a leadership coach who specializes

in human design. Combining ancient spiritual principles to create a holistic approach to understanding

your own behavior and energy, this concept has been gaining more attention in recent years.

Aaron says it can help us clarify what we're designed to do and how we work with others.

So let's hear what she has to say about it. Erin, welcome to Live Happy Now. Thank you. I'm so

So I think with everything that I share, like take what feels resident, supportive, useful, throw the rest away. This is very much meant to be a tool and it really just gives us kind of a language and a framework to really reflect on how we operate best.

And it's something that you didn't create this. This is really a wonderful combination of ancient

wisdom and modern science. And so can you talk about those two things, what it's rooted in

and what the science is of it? Yeah. So, you know, it's a very mystical system,

obviously based on our time date and place to birth. It's been around since 1987. The way that he received it and the way we've kind of seen it manifest is that it pulls from lots of different systems. The astrology, the Aiching, Kabbalah, the chakra system, quantum physics, genetics, kind of biochemistry really give us a kind of a map of how we operate. But, you know, I think that,
