How my journey began
My name is Nicole Hoover and I have been on a self-healing journey for most of my adult life. Early in life my parents divorced and both re-married. Growing up I didn’t feel like I belonged with either of my families. In Elementary school, I was sexually abused on and off for 6 years. All of this lead to depression and anxiety in my teen years. I married my high school sweetheart 3 months after I turned 18 and for the first time in my life, I felt like I belonged. By the time I was 20, I decided that I no longer wanted to identify as being a victim, and so began my self healing journey.
As I sit here now, in true Manifesting Generator fashion, I can see the thread through the past 20 years that led me to Human Design. At first I fell back on my Christian foundation and found comfort in the Bible during anxiety attacks. It helped, but I was still suffering.
In my mid 20's I discovered yoga and fell in love with the breathing and flow of this modality. I didn’t realize it at the time, but yoga was grounding me in my body and in the present moment. I was no longer depressed, but anxiety would still rear its ugly head occasionally.
The Oprah Winfrey show introduced me to Deepak Chopra and the healing power of meditation. This changed my life, and if there is one small thing you can do to have a HUGE impact on your life, it is the practice of meditation.
The next step on my self-healing journey was the discovery of essential oils and the healing power of nature. I have never been one who liked to take medication, so discovering the world of plant based medicine was mind blowing. During this time I was also introduced to Louise Hay’s book “You can Heal your Life” and I learned just how powerful our thoughts are.
By the time I was in my mid 30's, my mind was wide open, and I started devouring self-help books. I wanted to be the best person that I could be. A light in this world. I started learning about healing crystals, sound healing, energy healing and light work. One of my good friends introduced to me Angelic Reiki and I spent a few years becoming a Level IV Angelic Reiki practitioner.
Then in January of 2020, in a casual conversation with my Sister, she asked me “Have you heard of Human Design?” Even though I am a 3/5 profile, I have more line 1’s in my design than any other number. The line one is about gathering information, details and knowledge. So this question sent me down the rabbit hole. I pulled my chart, and then started reading everything I could find on Human Design.
I quickly discovered The Human Design Podcast with Emma Dunwoody. I signed up to have Emma do an unpack with me and my mind was blown! She just met me, but knew so much about me! I could see the HUGE potential of Human Design and I wanted to share it with everyone I know.
A year after discovering Human Design, I signed up for Emma Dunwoody's Mastermind Course and learned how to unpack Human Design Charts. I also took her Purpose and Abundance course which has led me here, following my dreams, taking imperfect action, starting a podcast. I look forward to sharing how I am living my Human Design Experiment and encouraging you to experiment with yours.
Are you ready for a life changing experiment of self discovery?
