When You’re a Generator or Manifesting Generator Who is Here to Do Something Completely New
A common thread I see between many of the Generators and MGs I work with is that we cannot find a pre-existing outlet for our purpose, and we are here to do something new on planet Earth. So, how do you know this is you? And if it is you, how do you navigate the process of figuring out what you’re here to do and how to make it happen? Let’s break it down…
FIGURING OUT OUR PURPOSE
Starting eight years ago, I began to get the feeling that there was something else possible out there - a new way of living in full alignment with my true self. However, this was just a vague knowing, because who even was my true self? And how would I know when I found it? Up until that point, I was mostly concerned with finding a stable career that would pay me enough money to live comfortably, having mostly harmonious relationships with friends and family, and finding a life partner (which were all proving to be difficult, but I was making progress over time). As I began to heal wounds, question patterns, and learn to accept, appreciate and love myself (which sounds trite but…was a whole journey), I began to see something new emerging—I felt in touch with an inner sense of purpose, and a desire to express that purpose in the outer world.
However, I was still far from actually knowing what my purpose was or how to express it. I was looking around at all the possibilities and (even though I didn’t know it, because I didn’t know about Human Design) responding to each one. No jobs that existed out there were really calling to me, so I stayed with my comfortable and mostly satisfying career as a project manager. I spent my free time doing things that were fun, with no end goal in mind, like painting, basketweaving, reading books about channeling, meditating, healing internal wounds (this one wasn’t really fun, but it was necessary), learning about North Nodes, numerology, and astrology, going to an energy healer, learning how to read tarot, journaling, designing an oracle deck, going on walks and hanging out in cafes.
It was not a bad life! I sensed that, despite not being able to define my “purpose,” I was somehow getting further on my path. Looking back, I can see how I was living a perfect 1/3 Generator life, doing what energized me as much as possible, learning everything I could, having a lot of valuable experiences, making a lot of mistakes, and going deep into everything that felt like a “yes.”
All of this is to say two things:
1. As Generators and MGs, we cannot instantaneously figure out the specific three-dimensional expression of our purpose —we must live our way into it, day by day!
2. Looking at what I enjoyed doing, there was no clear path to pursue that already existed. With interests out of the mainstream like aliens, inner work, and creating oracle decks, it was pretty clear that if I wanted to make money in a new way, I wasn’t going to find my dream job listing on LinkedIn. To be honest, if it existed, I would have applied!
Hmm…perhaps I was here to do something that didn’t yet exist.

MOVING INTO THE UNKNOWN
Once I determined that I wanted to eventually make money doing something that felt purposeful to me, I realized I likely needed to pave my own path. As an important note: I don’t feel everyone has to make their purpose into a job or money-making venture, but many want to!
Because I couldn’t look to the outside world to provide me with the playbook, I knew I needed to rely on some alternative tools to help me get where I was going (even though I had no idea where it was). I found the most solace in tarot, North Nodes, meditation, and energy healing because they all had one thing in common: they were connecting me with my inner guidance. I wasn’t always able to know exactly how to make decisions and take action, but I was doing okay. I knew I couldn’t rely on the outside world to guide me, so I needed to do my best to look within. It was working—work opportunities, the romantic partnership I had always dreamed of, and creative outlets were materializing.
Human Design came into my life as soon as I took the biggest leap yet and left my career. I didn’t know what I would do next, and nothing was off the table. But with this new tool, I had confirmation on how to tap into what would bring me the most satisfaction and a life most true for me. While the last few years of starting a business and supporting myself financially by sourcing my path from within have not been easy, I am happy to say that my initial hypothesis about the potential to live a life that feels natural and true to me has been correct. While I truly feel there are infinite ways we can express our deeper soul purpose in the three-dimensional world as humans, tapping into my inner guidance has helped me manifest one of them!
SUPPORTING OUR PATH TO DOING SOMETHING NEW
So, for those of us who are here to do something new, the key seems to be: honor your inner guidance. Instead of following someone else’s playbook, you’re going to have to create your own. Thankfully, this is more than possible. And, I am so happy I am here to create tools and use my own gifts to help you.
I’ve created a place to access my favorite tools, info, and exercises for Generators and MGs who are here to do something new on the planet— The Generator/Manifesting Generator Glow-Up.
It’s not easy to do something new on this planet, but if you know that’s your path, it’s worth it!
Love,
