In this episode, we dive into the perception of human design as a predominantly feminine tool. In my experience with both male and female clients, I’ve seen how human design can be a tool for everyone, regardless of gender. Men often prefer a much more practical approach which naturally fits human design perfectly. Women often approach human design from a much more intuitive, sensitive perspective- which is also great, but can sometimes make human design appear girly. This is an ideal episode if you’re a curious man or a woman who wants her man to start learning about human design.Follow Madeline's on Instagram @healthy_madelineLook up your Human Design Chart HereBook a reading with Madeline hereVisit Madeline's website here
