063. Lose Your Hope and Gain Your Power: A Human Design Perspective on Guilt Motivation

Travel and Work with Human Design - Practical tips for Freelancers and Digital Nomads Entrepreneurs

Have you ever felt crushed when things didn’t turn out the way you expected? That gut-wrenching disappointment when you were so sure something good was coming … and then it didn’t?

Expectations can feel like hope, but in reality, they often set us up for heartache. In this episode, I’m getting brutally honest about how expectations rob us of our joy, fuel our inner frustration, and disconnect us from the present moment.

Especially for those with Guilt Motivation in Human Design, expectations aren't just harmless wishes — they’re the gateway to pain, disappointment, and disempowerment.

In Human Design, Variables represent some of the deepest, most nuanced aspects of who we are going far beyond Type, Strategy, and Authority. One of these Variables is our Motivation, which describes how we are naturally wired to pursue goals and navigate the world.

For people with Guilt Motivation, like me, the shadow side is Hope. When we slip into hope, we disconnect from our true alignment and give our power away to uncontrollable outcomes. Learning to recognize and release these unconscious patterns is a key to freedom, self-responsibility, and true presence.

If you’re tired of being trapped in the cycle of hoping, waiting, and feeling let down, this conversation is for you. It’s time to break free.

I am curious if you resonate with the topic of hope and expectations that we are covering in this episode.
