Welcome to Leadership by Design Podcast.
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:13.919
I am your host, Karina Polonia Tripp, and I'm so excited for today's conversation about grounding your body for business success.
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:24.719
And you've may have heard you may have heard so many times all of those posts on Instagram, all of those videos, how to ground yourself.
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:43.600
But when we look at grounding from human design and BG5 perspective, we have very unique way on how to ground our body and also how to ground our mind and our light into this earth.
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:48.960
And I'm talking today about personality and design earth.
00:00:49.759 --> 00:01:07.920
And it's exciting for me because I'm in this experiment right now where I challenge myself to just act on inspiration without overthinking and preparing any notes whatsoever and coming here and channeling what's coming through my body.
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.480
I was literally going to the toilet and I had the thought.
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:21.920
I went and I did pee, and I'm like, oh my god, I just had the biggest realization and the simplest realization, and it's all about grounding.
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:41.760
So listen, recently I came out of a very long moment in my life and business where I needed to heal my body, and I stopped selling for quite a long time for publicly for almost a year.
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.359
I was selling behind the scenes, but not really publicly launching anything.
00:01:47.519 --> 00:02:10.479
And I had an attempt uh in March 2025, but that was the moment that a lot of chronic illness symptoms came on, and I was in this loop of constantly feeling tired and unbalanced, and just in such a free state.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:30.400
And recently, because I built my capacity, I did a lot of nervous system work and somatic parts work, but I realized something that just changed the whole perspective on how I need to show up so my body, my nervous system is actually feeling safe.
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:45.120
My mind was very grounded, and I was able to embody that part of me where my personality sign is 47 gate and it's grounded in 22nd gate in the earth.
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:47.919
And I don't have problems with listening.
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.639
This is what really grounds my mind, what grants grounds my light.
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:57.759
And I had clients where I was listening to their stories through voice notes.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:19.039
I have this process in my work where I am really encouraging my clients to share a lot of stories, emotional things, because this is what grounds my realizations, and I'm able to bring these realizations for them and create incredible transformations because they have those aha moments.
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:30.879
So my mind, my personality was feeling very, very good, but my body had some wobble and I wasn't that much consistent.
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:36.800
I struggled a lot with having a rhythm, and I would go into many extremes.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:47.199
I've completely opened sacral centers, so it's very easy for me to be overwhelmed with energy and not knowing where to put my energy.
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:57.680
So when I'm in this state of not knowing, I very often go into the freeze where I just collapse and still I'm seeing this pattern over and over again.
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:10.400
And you know, um, at some point you just observe when we deal with our not-self-tendencies from a human design perspective, and we want to decondition.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:18.240
One of the things that we need to do is actually focus on observing this, noticing it.
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:27.199
If you don't have strength to act differently, just notice without blame, shame, or guilt, and just observe.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:34.240
I'm not saying that I was perfect in not guilting myself, my mind was loud, it's always going to be loud for us, okay?
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.800
Not self is not going away.
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:50.959
Um, but the process of observation needs to happen for me, and sometimes things take longer for me because my personality works in the cycles.
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.040
47th gate is in the abstract stream, all right?
00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:06.959
So that means that there is beginning, middle, and end, and it takes time for this realization to just land.
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:37.600
And when they do for me, it's just this jolt of energy that everything just started to make sense, and with a long story uh context, I realized that for the last couple of weeks I was showing up more consistently and I started to sell, and I had so much fun, I had so much energy and creativity that comes from me.
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:42.560
I'm like, of course, selling is grounding me.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:49.519
Gate 26 is my body sight earth, it's like unconscious earth.
00:05:49.680 --> 00:06:46.319
This grounds this 45 that it's coming from unconscious sun activation, where my way of educating my tribe about material life is grounded in actually selling, and it doesn't have to be selling services, although if you have a business that's what you do, but also if you are somebody on the cross of rulership or you have 26 gate in any other left-angle cross, somewhere there, if it's especially in your personality or design earth, then you know, okay, if that's true, you need to ground yourself by selling, selling ideas that support your community, being this person who is here to really connect with others and manipulate memory for the benefit of the tribe.
00:06:46.560 --> 00:07:05.279
It's not a negative thing to say that the 26 gate is this manipulator, it can be in the lower expression of this, like this trickster, but in the end, it's about reframing things in a way that people believe that they can be the best.
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:06.800
Right?

00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:14.399
This is all about being the best for yourself, for your people to support them on material plane.
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:25.360
So this aha moment gave me permission to sell, where I am selling you just my idea.
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:29.600
I don't have to sell you anything else.
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:34.319
It can be just, I don't know, 10 minutes podcast episode about this idea.
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:53.360
So I want you to think about your grounding and balance both in unconscious on unconscious side and conscious side as something that you need to do to specifically ground yourself.
00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:15.680
And if you have any business stuckness around like maybe not being able to be consistent or having some sort of like ebbs and flows where you show up and maybe it's about um visibility issues, but can be about anything else, about your routines.
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:22.639
Check your earth, especially on the body side when we talk about the body, but also your personality.
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:27.040
Maybe your mind is ungrounded and you feel that you are scattered.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:41.919
So let's say if you have fifth gate in your unconscious earth, routines, habits, certain flow needs to happen for you.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:48.879
Something that it's repetitive, something that it's logical for you to be grounded in your body.
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.759
So I want you to look at this activation.
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:59.120
Let's say it's a third gate, and it can be on any side, right?
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:01.440
It can be personality or design.
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.120
It's a third gate.
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.759
It's the gate that speaks about difficulty at the beginnings.
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:14.559
If this is what grounds you, it may be kind of a mind fuck.
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:19.919
Because who wants to be grounded by just difficulties?
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:26.159
But it's this gate of ordering, it's energy of ordering, making order out of chaos.
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:33.120
It's a portal for quantum leap, but it happens out of nowhere, it's not really out of nowhere.
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:43.600
There was this process of feeling like you are stuck, but actually, it was an incubation for new mutation to come online.
00:09:45.679 --> 00:10:04.240
So, yeah, we can be grounded in 64 ways, and then if you put line on this, and then color and tone and all of those bases, like there's no other human on earth who is grounded like you are here to be grounded.
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:13.120
So I'm not saying that all of those typical grounding practices are not good, but I'm talking about something that you can experiment with.
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:27.600
Human design is all about experimentation, but for me, this realization that actually, if I want to feel safe in my body, if I want my nervous system to be ready to expand, I need to just sell.
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:59.360
And I did it in my first uh twenties, like I would sell all the time, and at this point, I had a successful business and I was so much in my passion, and then through Saturn return and going on the roof, like of course it's normal that I would withdraw and kind of like lick the wounds and process the mistakes and all of that, and it's been an incredible journey, but my mind is sometimes has opinions and it's not happy, ever happy.
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:03.360
But I just wanted to share it from share this from the heart.
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:12.320
This is just me unconsciously speaking to you because my selling needs to happen on the unconscious side, it's unconscious, it's designed.
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:34.320
So, what the fuck I'm doing sometimes, you know, trying to prepare more and like organize my thoughts because of my neuro spicy brain and all of that, and I just can show up here, even if I'm not the most articulate, even if my grammar sucks, if I'm just rambling out of thin air.
00:11:34.639 --> 00:12:01.919
So, this is my invitation for you to contemplate and to share in the comments what is your grounding and balance, and how can you from now on honor that and allow yourself to commit to being grounded, otherwise, your light will just spread over not being actually here on earth in material form.
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.320
This is what earth does for us.
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:10.000
So, if that was helpful, I want you to take this journey further.
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:31.759
And I have two invitations wherever feels good for you, if you want to understand how to translate your human design chart into a business ecosystem that attracts soul-aligned, amazing clients, and I've had so many incredible people coming to my world.
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:43.440
I'm just so excited to welcome new bestie clients into my ecosystem, and this gives me so much grounding because I was selling, right?
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:49.919
So, if you want to do that, uh you can sign up sign up for my free workshop Rooted in Design.
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.399
The link will be in the description below.
00:12:52.559 --> 00:13:06.559
And if you want to take your business journey deeper with me, I have few spots left for a beta price for my program Stellar Positioning.
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:12.960
And I got 10 spaces and half of it is already filled.
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.879
At this point, I'm recording it on 6th of November.
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:24.240
So if you are listening to it in real time, you can check the link and see if this is something for you.
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:31.440
And this is also my invitation for you that sometimes selling is not only about our offers.
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:58.080
So if you have 26 gate in your design, it doesn't need to be in Earth or the Sun, anywhere in your design, you are here to sell consistently if it's in defined heart center, or be wise about selling and share this wisdom with others and teach them, help them, support them how to sell.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.399
So that's all what I want to share today.
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:07.279
And in the next episode, I will go back to the topic of imposter syndrome part two.
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.039
So yeah, stay tuned.
