111. A New Approach to Parenting through Human Design with 2/5 Generator Angie Grandt

podcast Jul 03, 2025

What if the meltdowns, the miscommunication, and the constant second-guessing in parenting aren’t problems to fix, but clues pointing you back to connection?

In this heartfelt and wisdom-packed episode, I sit down with parenting coach and Human Design guide Angie Grandt, a 2/5 Generator with years of experience supporting families, foster and adoptive parents, and children with complex behavioral needs. Angie brings the kind of real-talk-meets-radical-compassion energy that makes you feel instantly seen, and wildly inspired to parent differently.

The Moment That Changed Everything

Angie and I first met sitting in the back row at the International Human Design Conference, two strangers who instantly connected. That moment turned into a deep friendship, and in today’s episode, we bring you into the room with us for one of the most important conversations I’ve had around parenting, energy, and personal alignment.

Angie shares how learning about her own two children’s Human Design completely reframed the way she supported them, and herself. From helping a manifesting generator grandchild move energy through smoothie-making (yes, really!) to honoring her projector daughter’s need for rest and recognition, Angie offers grounded, real-world examples of what Human Design looks like in action.

What We Talked About

The real reason so many parents feel like they’re failing (hint: it’s not about your strategy, it’s about energy)
What “unmet energetic needs” really mean (and how they often show up as behavior problems)
How to parent without falling back into conditioned patterns, even when it’s hard
Why understanding your child’s design gives you a whole new toolkit for connection
How our own healing impacts the way we show up, and shape the next generation

Key Takeaways

Your child isn’t broken. They’re designed differently.
Human Design isn’t about adding another “parenting rulebook”, it’s a lens for freedom.
Connection starts with understanding, not control.
Energetic alignment is possible for everyone in your home, and it begins with you.
