In Human Design, the will center, sometimes called the heart center or the ego center, is the center where we derive our sense of self worth. It empowers us to be adept in the material world and create an awareness of the cash money value that we have to offer others.
And what a fascinating paradox that is: self worth and the value one gives to the world.
Two totally different things. And yet, so intimately tied together.
And here is where it gets really interesting…
Only about 37% of the population have a defined will center. Which means that 63% of the world is likely to struggle with the dance between self worth and giving value to others.
So, if you've been under the impression that your "self worth issues" are unique, stop wondering. It isn't just you. Its most of the world.
This is one of the many reasons why I adore Human Design and the alchemical journey we take in the Human Design Map portal. With your chart, you're handed a map that guides you straight to your “issues” with self worth and even gives you clues about the value others receive from you.
By looking at your design from an objective, empowered stance, it becomes obvious where you're caught in stories of unworthiness rather than embracing the value others naturally receive from you. Inside the map portal, I don't just show you the way, but guide you on 'how' to become aware of the energetic gifts you assuredly give the world around you.
And here's the straight truth about that:
Worthiness is not a “real” thing. It is a construct of toxic religion and patriarchy and is a savvy method of control.
When you are busy chasing worthiness, you will have no energy left to express your fullest potential. You won’t be able to use your will wisely.
In other words, the only reason “worthiness” feels like such a problem is that you’ve been conditioned to believe that your authentic self is too much or not enough. You’ve been taught to sacrifice yourself and have been painted the illusion that others' pleasure is in your hands.
And, like I said, that is some toxic and patriarchal religious bullshit.
You don’t actually need to “become” worthy. Or “deserve” what you most want in life. Or be, do, have more.
Because that is synonymous with chasing your tail. Is it not?
“Becoming wise” in the will center isn’t about running faster on the hamster wheel.
It is a matter of using your Human Design as a map for alchemizing your stories of too much, not enough, worthless, or undeserving into unshakeable self worth. It is about no longer letting the validation of the outer world provide evidence of your gifts. It is about not needing outer evidence at all. Instead, it is about knowing your gifts, inside and out, rececicng them first, and then sharing them with the people who gobble up your authenticity like candy. .
No more chasing.
And in that wise and powerful stance, the value others receive from you becomes drippingly obvious. It will no longer be an option to jump through hoops or desperately beg others to “see your worth.”
It will simply be a matter of embodied knowing. Of making the contribution that only you can make by being authentic. Of being true to your north star.
The “real” journey of the undefined will isn’t in trying harder to “be worthy.” It is in reclaiming your capacity to know and express your authentic (metaphorical or literal) voice – even when it makes the powers that be quake in their boots.
Unshakeable SELF worth.
And that is the journey we are taking here.
Your Human Design is the map.

p.s. If you are already one of my Human Design Map clients, be sure to review the “empowering beliefs” sections within your map, especially the ones for your conscious sun gate. Notice if any stories of not enough, too much, unworthy, or undeserving come up. And if so, bring them to the deconditioning toolbox inside the portal and let’s alchemize it together. There is a login link at the very bottom of this email.
p.s.s. Also, if you are a map client and in business, be sure to read the quick and dirty guide on Human Design and Business Messaging. It really brings up this whole thing about outer world value. We’ve been having some brilliant conversations over there and, no doubt, it will be illuminating for you, too. It’s in your portal dashboard under the section called Quick and Dirty Guides.

Want to learn human design from me in an affordable and more collaborative way? Now you can. The short version is that I am now on substack. Subscribe here. Here's the long version... I started teaching Human Design in 2020, and in all honesty, quite reluctantly. I took a deep interest in the system after learning about my 5/2 profile. When I say it completely shifted my perspective the moment I heard the term "double projection field," I mean for real for real. A lifetime of shame instantly...
Right on time for the new year, I have a new article on my website for the five human design types and strategies. In this article, you will learn about: how your aura works and interacts with the world what your strategy is and what its for (and for some types, what it's not for!) signs that your current strategy is working (or not!) Plus an overview of all five types. You'll come away with insights on how to harness your energy to create aligned opportunities to fulfill the auric purpose....
As the sun continues its transit through Gate 14, embodying the archetype of the Prosperity Lumen, here is my contemplation on gate 14 and what it takes to create prosperity. Gate 14 is undefined in my chart and as a Projector, so is my sacral center. When I am unconscious of my energy boundaries, I can easily get caught up in the sacral energy of the people around me and amplify it. And, let me tell you, when someone is on the “high” end of the spectrum, that experience is amazing. But when...
