106. How Your Environment Directly Impacts Your Business Success

podcast Jun 17, 2025

When it comes to building a thriving, aligned business, most entrepreneurs focus on strategy, offers, and mindset. But there’s one piece that’s often overlooked—and it can make or break your momentum: your environment.

In this episode, I dive into how your environment, both physically and energetically, plays a massive role in your ability to show up, create, and grow your business with ease. Through the lens of Human Design, I explore the six environment types and how each one supports your unique way of doing business.

Your Human Design Environment = Your Energetic Power Source

Each of us is designed to thrive in a specific type of environment. In Human Design, this can be one of six types:

Caves – safety, intimacy, and control
Markets – dynamic, collaborative, multi-option spaces
Kitchens – creativity, hands-on process, and sensory richness
Valleys – openness, clarity, and grounded flow
Mountains – high-level thinking, perspective, and vision
Shores – fluidity, duality, and transition

When you’re in the right environment (physically, emotionally, and energetically), you feel it. You show up more confidently. You speak more clearly. And the people who are meant for you, clients, collaborators, and community, can actually find you.

Real-Life Alignment = Real Business Shifts

In this episode, I share how understanding my own Markets environment changed everything. From the types of events I attend to the way I design my business offers, aligning with this part of my Human Design has helped me grow with less resistance and more joy.

I even made a major move across the state of Colorado with my family, intentionally choosing a location that aligns with all of our designs and astrology. The result? More energy, more momentum, and more alignment in both life and business.

Start Where You Are

Whether you’re creating an offer, attending an event, or choosing what kind of clients you want to serve, your environment matters. And it’s not just about the space you’re in, but the people you surround yourself with and how your energy responds.
