Beyond the Words EP41

[00:00:00] Dimple Thakrar: Hello and welcome back to Beyond the Words with me, Dimple Thakra, and today I have the honor and privilege of having the most incredible woman on today. I have to tell you, I have not met this lady in real. This is the first time we're meeting to have a conversation, but I feel like I've felt her for a long time.

[00:00:22] Dimple Thakrar: She has a presence about her that is so elegant and so authentic and you'll feel it. You'll get to know this beautiful woman who is polished and true all at once. It's just divine to have her here. So without further ado, let me introduce Amy Elizabeth. Hello! 

[00:00:47] Amy Elizabeth: Hello, thank you Dimple. That was so beautiful and I'm so excited.

[00:00:51] Amy Elizabeth: This is our first time officially really talking, so it's going to be amazing and we're both so excited. 

[00:00:56] Dimple Thakrar: First of all, I would love to ask you, so you do human design, you, that's your pillar, if you like, and then, but what I have witnessed with you is, and I have taken Your courses and your collaborative courses.

[00:01:11] Dimple Thakrar: And what I've witnessed with you is that you do it in your way. I love that you do it in your way. And you are knowledgeable. In this area, so knowledgeable. I want to understand how you got to this point. I want the viewers, I want the audience to what's the backstory? Give us the juice.

[00:01:33] Amy Elizabeth: Thank you. Actually that's my slogan, human design in a way you've never experienced it before. So from day one, it's okay, I'm going to bring human design to the forefront of the coaching industry. And that was really my driving force to make sure it wasn't boring and make sure there's some sexiness in it, entice people in and also a human design is really all about your own magnetism.

[00:01:53] Amy Elizabeth: So if we can't have fun with it, if we can't embrace it and understand it to a point where it excites us, it's just not gonna, it's not gonna land. Yeah, my backstory. I actually am formally educated and was a professional teacher so I taught for about 10 years, so I got into Teachers College right after university and then right after Teachers College, I was hired on, so I was a very young teacher, I think 23, around there, 23, and I taught for 10 years My background in education and psychology was like a huge driving force of really, again, bringing human design in a different way, because I saw all of these other lenses and being able to really teach from that point.

[00:02:36] Amy Elizabeth: So my background has been extremely potent and powerful in my transition online. I am a mom of three. So during three and then I was going to say, I'm 

[00:02:48] Dimple Thakrar: going to interrupt you on this point because I want. I want the viewers, the audience to go check out. There is a picture of Amy in her bikini. Holy shit, a mom of three just you look amazing.

[00:03:04] Amy Elizabeth: Fabulous. Thank you. Thank you. And I have two bonus sons. We have a family of seven now, which is wild. But yeah, so basically I was teaching. I, when I was on maternity leave with my second daughter, I just felt this calling for more and I didn't know what it was. I saw somebody in where I live. She was doing And I was like, Oh what is this?

[00:03:25] Amy Elizabeth: She's really the first person I saw online that was offering something. And I was like, I don't know. I just feel like I should go do it. So I'm a splenic authority for those that know human design. And that was my first really like big splenic hit where I'm like, this makes. Literally no sense right now, but I'm gonna go.

[00:03:40] Amy Elizabeth: So I had my one night a week where I got out of the house and would go do my thing. I, some of the beginning conversations, I was like, I didn't really experience any trauma in my life. I had a very quote unquote, normal life. And I we really unpacked stuff. I was like, Whoa I didn't know we were going to go here.

[00:03:58] Amy Elizabeth: And I didn't ever see this. Like it really built my awareness and understanding in such a deeper way. And after our sessions, I was like, I know I meant for more I know I meant to do more in this lifetime. I really want to do my own, have my own business. Right after that, in January, this would have been January 2018

[00:04:18] Amy Elizabeth: or 19, yeah, 18 I think. I hired business coaches. I, 10, 000, I didn't have a business, I was on maternity leave, I didn't have any income, my husband at the time and I didn't like share finances, like he paid for the things, I paid for my things, so I literally was on a maternity leave income, which is a nothing

[00:04:38] Amy Elizabeth: and I was like, no, like I have a calling, I'm going for it. So I spent about five, six months inside of this container. I didn't make any money. I didn't have a business and I ended when our contract ended. I was going back to teaching. So I went back to teaching probably a month before my second daughter was officially one.

[00:04:59] Amy Elizabeth: So I started a little bit back early and I was just like, oh, like I have this notion. I just, I know I'm, I actually then started calling myself an energetic alignment business. And I just started posting online. I was just like, here we go. And talking about things after school, after I put my kids to bed.

[00:05:16] Amy Elizabeth: And I really just started to build up an audience of people being like, Oh, like I didn't know what intuition was. I launched something called intuition school or something like that. And I had a couple of people sign up. And then all of a sudden somebody was like, can I work one to one with you?

[00:05:30] Amy Elizabeth: And I was like, what is happening? Yes, let's do it. So then I ended up. That's when I found human design, and literally everything in my brain exploded, and I was like, Oh my gosh, everything makes so much sense about myself. I understood myself as a projector. I started to, really observe my children and begin to parent a little bit differently based on their energy types.

[00:05:52] Amy Elizabeth: And I remember going back to school that September. So we had the summer off, I was doing my coaching. I actually had in person clients. They would come to my house after I'd put my kids to bed. And then I I had a little tiny basement. It wasn't even an office. It was just like literally our rec room.

[00:06:09] Amy Elizabeth: And then I went back to teaching and I was like, wow, I'm so misaligned. I am rushing my kids off to daycare and school, literally getting to my own school. In the nick of time, I'm so stressed. I'm teaching all day. Every break I had, like lunchtime, I would sit in my classroom and recalibrate my energy, understanding I was a projector then.

[00:06:31] Amy Elizabeth: I would send an email. I was building my business on the side. At nighttime, I'd go home. I was still like taking clients and my ex husband now, but at the time he was in a very beginning stages of a very dark place for him. So we were going like this. And everything was on my shoulders at that time, really trying to support him through it.

[00:06:53] Amy Elizabeth: I didn't really know what was going on, and that's when I joined Melanie's Mastermind. And again, my business was now starting to pick up just organically. I think it was like 5, 000, 6, 000 for five weeks. All I talked about inside of it was talking about human design. I was so scared to bring human design into my little business on the side.

[00:07:16] Amy Elizabeth: She actually was like, you have to leave teaching. I've never said this to anyone, but you're born for this. So all of that happened. I ended up getting pregnant with my third, ended up finding stuff out about my ex. My husband at the time where how dark of a place he really was. I was having severe anxiety because I was so overwhelmed.

[00:07:36] Amy Elizabeth: I was so stressed. I was teaching. This was happening with him. And now I'm bringing another baby into the world. And I also have this side passion. Everything was like, what's going on? So I actually then took a leave from teaching. I'm like, I can't do this anymore. This was really my push to go all in.

[00:07:53] Amy Elizabeth: And I was like, I'm doing it. I had to face the music with everyone around me being like, what are you doing? Are you crazy? This is one of, a very safe job for you, your kids, you're pregnant. What are you talking about? I took the leap. I started making 10K a month, 20K a month, 30K a month.

[00:08:09] Amy Elizabeth: The month I had my son, it was like a 30 something K month. Like every month continued to get higher and higher. And I was like, whoa. And then in 2020 my ex literally left and didn't come back. Like we were completely financially dependent on myself. My son was four months old. Literally the entire world and what I understood crumbled.

[00:08:34] Amy Elizabeth: It was the most. Life changing moment, really. And the biggest test of self trust, like everything of safety was completely gone. I had this newborn baby. I was trying to navigate, these three kids by myself, everything that I just found out about him. It was insane. That month I ended up only not even having a 10k month and I had all of these finances on he wasn't paying things.

[00:09:01] Amy Elizabeth: I didn't know. We almost didn't have insurance anymore because there were so many back payments not paid. So I was catching up on all of his payments that I was finding out then taking over the mortgage and taking over this and taking over this and then having to show up online. And I was like, what am I going to do?

[00:09:17] Amy Elizabeth: How am I going to do this? And that's really where I leaned into such deep faith in God. And I was like, this is all happening for me. This is happening for a reason. And I just focused literally on being the best version of myself I could possibly be for myself and my kids so that they would feel very little residual from it.

[00:09:36] Amy Elizabeth: And I was like, focus on the business, focus on the vision, focus on where we're going. And I did. And a couple months later, I had. My first six figure month, it was, and we ended off in a million dollar year and it has just continued to grow. So it's so insane. Like looking back on it, I'm like, whoa, I can't believe that all happened.

[00:09:58] Amy Elizabeth: And that's when the world shut down. All three of my kids were home. Like it was wild and we did it, and here we are. And it's really like this direction in life where if I wasn't. Trusting the calling to where I was supposed to be going. I would right now be in a very different position. And every single day I thank God for all of those pushes and all of those, dark moments and all of the polarity and everywhere that I trusted myself and that calling and those hits to go even when it made no sense because It was all leading me to be prepared for those moments.

[00:10:37] Amy Elizabeth: It's 

[00:10:37] Dimple Thakrar: huge. Thank you so much. There's so much I want to speak about in that story. So much. The first pieces and what screamed out at me was the leap of faith you took when it made no sense to invest in yourself. Like that five months. Where you didn't have the income, you were on maternity leave.

[00:10:56] Dimple Thakrar: It made no sense. And the reason I want to start there is because, so often people will say it's not logical for me to invest in that, or it's not, but there is a deep calling and I'm not suggesting people get into debt. It's more about this. Trusting the inner knowing, trusting the pull, trusting the whispers, whatever you want to call it, right?

[00:11:20] Dimple Thakrar: And the other piece that I loved about that is that the, almost the bigger the leap of faith, the bigger the reward and it, and the quicker it happens. But the amount of courage, I want to really let this plane land, the amount of courage it must have taken for you to continue when your world is crumbling around you.

[00:11:43] Dimple Thakrar: Holy shit, I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to have three babies. very young babies, you finding out that financially your supposed security and rock is no longer that. No judgment, it's just a dark place. He had to do his thing, you had to do yours, right? Yeah. And the strength it took for you.

[00:12:09] Dimple Thakrar: To be able to go, okay, this is happening for me. Okay. Wow. I just want to honor you for that, because look at how you were rewarded. To me, the lesson in all of that is when you are absolutely in alignment and you're ready to take what I call aligned action, even when it's difficult, especially when it's difficult, because this is one of the things, right?

[00:12:32] Dimple Thakrar: So often people think aligned action is the easy option. It's often not. 

[00:12:39] Amy Elizabeth: Wait, yeah. No, thank you. And that's where I call it the unsexy work. It's there were so many days of just tears, and what am I gonna do? It's okay, trust this, right? It's all about redirecting to that bigger purpose, and I remember You know, in those first probably two months, like, when people would start to find out, or my family the look in people's eyes I literally remember that so well.

[00:13:02] Amy Elizabeth: It was like, they are so worried. They're so concerned, and I'm like, okay. We've got this, and just that reassurance and trust. I think a lot of people now for, they don't realize how much self trust it really takes to create something incredible and that courage that you were talking about to be able to step out in courage, it's all about, can I trust myself and what I feel inside and what I want, can I trust myself to go make those moves?

[00:13:33] Dimple Thakrar: So I want to know, was there ever, in trusting yourself, was there ever a plan B? Because I often say, if you have a plan B, your plan A isn't strong enough. Like you don't, right? You don't need a plan B. Was there ever a plan B or was 

[00:13:47] Amy Elizabeth: there always a plan A? There was always a plan A. My dad, actually, funny enough, it was a plan B that my dad would continue to plant in my ear, and he would be like, Amy you can always go back to teaching, you know, and I was like, no, dad, that's not happening.

[00:14:02] Amy Elizabeth: I actually said to him, I was like, I'm going to make a million dollars this year. I was like, that's what's happening. And again, I had a 9k month that January, like it made no sense. And he's okay. 

[00:14:14] Dimple Thakrar: I love it. What I want the audience to take away from this beautiful story is the absolute congruence and confidence.

[00:14:22] Dimple Thakrar: That's the frequency. That's the energy that you move. I did the same with my million, million dollar. It was dollar, million dollar year. I just decided and it made no sense whatsoever. And I, my team were mapping out like how much I would need to make a month for that to work. And I was like, don't do that.

[00:14:42] Dimple Thakrar: Don't cap me. There's no linear way of doing this. I just know. Yeah. And it's just that, it's that knowingness cause I'm a sacral authority, so it's like it dropped in and that was it. It wasn't 

[00:14:57] Amy Elizabeth: even like a non linear path Oh, I love it. 

[00:15:00] Dimple Thakrar: Yeah. Yeah. And so it was just very much that decision's made. Next. I didn't even go back to it because it was already complete. 

[00:15:08] Amy Elizabeth: Yeah. And that literally, I would say the same thing. I'm like, no I decide and it's going, I decide and I move, I decide. And I think. I don't know. I think it's just like this mindset and again, this like ability to block out why wouldn't it work, or like, why isn't it going to work like this ability to start blocking out those what ifs that don't serve the bigger purpose and literally only infusing yourself around conversations or thoughts and directing yourself towards what if it does?

[00:15:39] Amy Elizabeth: And what if I get to be like this? It happens. And what if I get, And what if I set it up like this, right? There's so many opportunities for us to be created our own world, but we have to look outside of, like you said, that linear path or the boxes and have somebody else did it and literally only play in our own world.

[00:15:56] Amy Elizabeth: I love that. I love 

[00:15:58] Dimple Thakrar: that so much. So a question that comes to mind is, What if somebody's listening or watching right now and they're like it's okay for you, right? And that's easy for you to say or they may not be, they may be simply questioning the doubt because we're human. We all have those moments of doubt.

[00:16:19] Dimple Thakrar: How would you support them in that, in those moments where you are doubtful? And I am, I have been doubtful in those moments, still in those moments, cause I'm human. So what would you, how would you support somebody in that? 

[00:16:33] Amy Elizabeth: In? Yeah, in first of all, it's like really getting support in people I've invested this entire time.

[00:16:41] Amy Elizabeth: So it's really getting support in people that know that feeling, like you just said. We can recognize that it's not non-existent for any of us even now, but to be able to know that's okay to feel, and we get to choose differently in how we move forward. We get to give ourselves those moments.

[00:17:00] Amy Elizabeth: And then we also have to choose who we're wanting to be. And I think that's the constant walk forward and the rise above. It's okay, cool. I'm feeling this right now in this moment. But what if I allowed myself to play all out? What if I really play in my potential right now? What if I detach from the thing that I'm doubting, the fear, the result, because usually that only comes in when we're not getting what we want, that fear or that doubt, we think we can't get what we want, but what if we completely detach from that outcome and start to play into the feeling and the game of life, but this is bigger than that.

[00:17:37] Amy Elizabeth: This is bigger than that. When I was going through everything, I was like, this is bigger than Somebody signing up today. This is bigger than, a, I don't know, a payment or a new I never thought about this needs to happen. I was like, this is about creating a life for myself, for my kids, for my family.

[00:17:58] Amy Elizabeth: This is all about having impact, changing other people's lives. I really held true to that bigger vision. For me, for my clients, for the world and just played in that every single day. And of course there were moments of doubt where the how and the when, and the, why or why not, or whatever I would question within, but holding onto it's happening for me and I'm growing in all of those moments is what brought me back to the vision in why I'm even doing this.

[00:18:28] Dimple Thakrar: I love that. I love the, here's what I love about it. And I want. Like this distinction to really hit home. You mentioned yourself and your family first, huge, so often. And it's the learning that I'm being called to learn in this moment again that, and you did it twice, that piece that. So often, I'm all about impact and how many people I can impact on this planet and how can I get my message out there and knowing the power of my message and the power of my frequency and what you've just taught me again in this moment, which is thank you for the reminder, me first, my family first.

[00:19:10] Dimple Thakrar: And then the big vision. And so when we do that, what happens to the frequency? How does that shift to success? 

[00:19:21] Amy Elizabeth: I believe all of us have a designed mission. And when we can play into the frequency of, like you just said, I I believe that I did this for me and my kids, like first and foremost, and created a reality where I get to be there, still being the dominant parent and 90 percent of that is me, if I didn't have this, I wouldn't be able to be everything for them, you.

[00:19:46] Amy Elizabeth: I think the frequency that it begins to emit is like a connection to your soul and your heart. And when we're operating from that, it's just, it's so pure and it's not linked in with ego and it's not linked into just money and it's not linked into, what is this going to look like to somebody else or the judgments or shrinking yourself?

[00:20:05] Amy Elizabeth: It literally is just no. So pure that first of all, that's extremely attractive and magnetic and grows and people feel that and sense that. And then for you, it's you just get to move in the way that, you're supposed to be moving. So I think it embeds a deeper level when we really break down ego and operate from that purest place.

[00:20:25] Amy Elizabeth: I think it really breaks down the doubts and the fears and allows you to release and let go. And surrender will moving forward because it's all so pure. 

[00:20:36] Dimple Thakrar: I love this it's just reminding me so much, that the power of really owning who you are unapologetically, not needing to get permission or acknowledgement from anybody else.

[00:20:53] Dimple Thakrar: Not needing it. It's nice to have, but not needing it is a completely different frequency. And I remember some of my clients that when I first started coaching would come back years later and say, we've been dimpled and I was like. What do you even mean by that? It kept happening. Pattern kept happening, people say.

[00:21:17] Dimple Thakrar: And eventually it dropped in on what the definition was, which was permission to be your authentic self. So it's not necessarily about me, I just show them the gateway on what's possible for them. They get to choose. They get to choose. And releasing of the ego means that it comes from a place of purity, like you said, and people feel that, from the masculine and feminine energy as well, in terms of that polarizing, 

[00:21:46] Amy Elizabeth: right?

[00:21:47] Amy Elizabeth: Yeah, completely. And I think even like what you were saying about being authentic, I think we don't really understand what that means on a surface level until you really get into this type of work, right? Even if people were to just find you today or find me today, it does look very superficial. It does sound very superficial.

[00:22:06] Amy Elizabeth: What are you even talking about? But to strip away those layers of in and in human design, it's the conditioning. I call it the unsexy work, but to really strip back those layers and to figure out wait, who am I and what do I want to say, or how do I want to show up? Even the identity of ourselves is so conditioned and masked.

[00:22:26] Amy Elizabeth: And when we start to do this work, it's oh. This gets to be so perfect for me, and that also drops any judgment we put on anybody else for being any different or wanting something different. And I think there's so much talk in our industry of how bad and all of these things, but when you're playing with the right people, it's actually like the most beautiful experience and growth and opportunity for This new paradigm of living and mindset and perspective and growth, where it's just so right for each person in their own process.

[00:23:00] Dimple Thakrar: I just full body chills because what's coming through for me is the way that you have this, like your branding is so polished, it's so beautiful. And you can see how intentional you are with that. And also you can feel the authenticity of it. It's who you are. Like, you're not hiding, that's just who you are.

[00:23:19] Dimple Thakrar: Right? And what I also have seen and witnessed in your work with others is that then you're not trying to make them your version, right? In the nonjudgmental, like you allow the, your clients to be who they need to be because actually that's the essence of it. To try and recreate a polished. Brand in your way will be doing them a great disservice.

[00:23:50] Amy Elizabeth: Completely. And I think this is somewhat where my background in teaching comes in because being in a classroom with so many different kids, I was already learning about differentiation and, different ways in which we teach in the classroom. That's going to hit every child hit, every child's way of learning.

[00:24:06] Amy Elizabeth: And then when I was introduced to human design, I was like, Whoa, I Actually, authentically can't teach anymore because now I know how much more different people are, in the needs of people, the way that they learn, the way that the classroom is set up. I was like, this is not of service and I'm not, hitting it in the right ways with all of these kids.

[00:24:27] Amy Elizabeth: And that was really my draw towards adults and being able to work in smaller spaces where we go that much more individualized because it's the only way in life, and understanding. The process of where somebody would be so conditioned because it's wrong, or, you're supposed to do it that way, or that person did something, that student did something good.

[00:24:48] Amy Elizabeth: So that must mean I'm bad. And, even as you sacral there are like so much energy and, how suppressed that would have had to been a lot of your life, whether that's at home or at school or everywhere, right? Very few outlets where you could actually fully be your authentic self from a very young age.

[00:25:03] Amy Elizabeth: So having that background and bringing that again into my work and now with the tool of human design has allowed me to understand people, individuals, and even the differentiation from Manny Gen to Manny Gen, in such a bigger way, and life experience and how that plays out. So there's literally no One way of doing anything in life.

[00:25:25] Amy Elizabeth: And that's what it's all about, right? Life business, make money in your own way. But again, going back to the trust to build in the confidence, to be able to know you can do that is an entirely different ball game, right? Because people are like, tell me. Teach me. Show me. It's no, this is about you. 

[00:25:42] Dimple Thakrar: Something that I would love you to expand on is you touched on it the differences between how we teach and how we learn and how we grow.

[00:25:51] Dimple Thakrar: And in terms of human design, I know it's deep. There's so much I'm not going to there's so much, but even in terms of you're a projector, I'm a manager and there's. Generators. There's reflectors. It's the other one, isn't it? How would you position information? Even your children are Mani Gens, right?

[00:26:09] Dimple Thakrar: You have three Mani Gens. 

[00:26:11] Amy Elizabeth: Yeah, so even for my kids, so I have two girls that are Mani Gens and Se girls, and then my son is an Emotional Authority. Even that difference between All three are MGs, but then we have an emotional authority so different in my processing with him, right? So for anyone that's unfamiliar an emotional authority is constantly riding waves and those waves of emotion don't mean anything, but they spike happiness or they drop into sadness or frustration, or, a lot of.

[00:26:40] Amy Elizabeth: Changing of the mind and decision making and they need more time to process things. So I could say to my girls, do you, this is actually every single morning. Do you want this for breakfast or this for breakfast? I give everyone the options. My son will sit there and he'll say, I want this. I don't give it to him.

[00:26:55] Amy Elizabeth: Like I literally waited for 10 minutes. I offer him, I continue to drop in some things. I'll repeat things. He'll say, I want this two minutes later. He'll say, actually, I don't want that. So it's even just. The interaction throughout a day where I'm like, I know he won't give me, if I give him what he says the first time, he's not going to want it in two minutes.

[00:27:13] Amy Elizabeth: So it's about, that spaciousness and. Again, to see people in the classroom and then to understand, projectors need to be seen and heard, and there's deep wisdom. It's probably obviously very overlooked in a child versus an authority figure. For Manny Jens, again, the need to be in multiple places and have differentiation throughout their day, and also the.

[00:27:37] Amy Elizabeth: The mastery that they develop through Ooh, that thing. And now I'm done with it moving on. That feeling of failure that can be embedded in a Manny Gen is huge. Generators, the ability for them to be really obsessed with something and go all in, we're often trying to be like, no, you need.

[00:27:52] Amy Elizabeth: Balance, and we need to try a little this and this, where they're like, no, I just want this to be able to be like, okay, let's trust that for them. Manifestors are here to really parent themselves. They are the authority within themselves. So there were, there's constant battles between authority and manifestors from a very young age.

[00:28:12] Amy Elizabeth: And then for the reflectors, they're really here to take it all in and show us. and mirror back to us how we're showing up in the world and what they're experiencing through us. So if we don't have an aware parent or authority figure, we're going to be embedding, missing a lot of communication and missing a lot of messaging in the ability for the parents or the authority to really grow and what that reflector is needing.

[00:28:36] Amy Elizabeth: That's huge. 

[00:28:38] Dimple Thakrar: I would love all of you to rewind and listen to that again. The gold in that is huge and life changing. And I will give you an example. I'm a sacral authority, and just even the authority, never mind whether you're a manny gen or a projector or Just even knowing what your children and partner's authority is going to be the game changer.

[00:29:03] Dimple Thakrar: Because before I knew this, I'm a sacral, I didn't know my husband was an emotional authority. We would fight so much because I would be like, just make a decision. How can you not make a decision? It's a yes or a no. And then he would feel obliged to make a decision on the spot and then change his mind.

[00:29:28] Dimple Thakrar: I'd be like, what the hell? And then that whole piece on, can I trust him? to make a decision. And then he would feel the guilt and shame of not being able to keep to that decision because it didn't feel right for him. Just that cycle created so much havoc in our marriage prior to us understanding this.

[00:29:50] Dimple Thakrar: Whereas now I, I'm able to give him the grace. This is the decision. And he doesn't feel that pressure to give me, I'll be like just let me know when you can let me know. 

[00:30:00] Amy Elizabeth: That's huge. And that in itself, this is like the beautiful gift about human design. It's not just for us.

[00:30:07] Amy Elizabeth: It's really about understanding the other. And that one little shift of Oh. He's not going to be able to give me a decision right now. And not to judge that and not to hate that and not to get so frustrated with that is like ultimate freedom for him. Like he probably feels the most understood he's ever felt in his entire life, just with that shift.

[00:30:27] Dimple Thakrar: Just that one piece, nevermind everything else, nevermind everything else, all the lines and all that, like that's. Just like that builds to the cake, right? It builds completely. Like we're both sixes, understanding that we're now in this era, we're both in our 50s, where Oh, it makes sense why we kept making mistakes and getting pissed off with each other.

[00:30:55] Amy Elizabeth: Oh my gosh, completely. That's so wild that you're both sixes. 

[00:31:00] Dimple Thakrar: It's mind blowing. And I know you are a 5'1 or 1'5, 

[00:31:03] Amy Elizabeth: which way round? I'm a 5'1, yes. Yeah. 

[00:31:07] Dimple Thakrar: So that, the detail in that. 

[00:31:09] Amy Elizabeth: It's crazy, right? Because this is again, like where we go back to people's businesses. I would never expect you to run your business the way that I, or market the way that I market, right?

[00:31:18] Amy Elizabeth: Because it's a completely different, it wouldn't land, it wouldn't work because it's not coming from you, right? So this is where people get so Obsessed with it needs to be this way. And why isn't it working? And they really lose sight of themselves. And again, like understanding self and being able to build from this place of, I know who I am and I know what works for me and just being able to stay in your lane.

[00:31:42] Amy Elizabeth: Oh, so much more success and freedom and fun. 

[00:31:46] Dimple Thakrar: So much because, there would have been times when I maybe would have looked at your business and your business model and even the way you do sales pages. And I would have felt less than because it would have been so confusing for me to have so much detail, right?

[00:32:03] Dimple Thakrar: And I would have felt the pressure of having to find all that detail 

[00:32:07] Amy Elizabeth: completely, right? Yeah. 

[00:32:10] Dimple Thakrar: Just so it's so liberating guys, as we wrap up, what I would love. To ask Amy is, Amy, if anybody wants to understand this at a deeper level and particularly they enjoy the way you express it, where do they find you?

[00:32:28] Dimple Thakrar: How can they work with you? What are the ways? 

[00:32:30] Amy Elizabeth: Yeah. You're going to find me at alignedbydesignhd. com or alignedbydesignhd Instagram. And then Amy Elizabeth, the Amy on Instagram too is more so my leadership component. But I have a human design certification, which I have a membership for with a black card.

[00:32:48] Amy Elizabeth: I have a white card, which is all of the group programs that are all human design, every design, different elements of selling, of marketing, of relationships, of communication, of self understanding and ego triggers. All of those things will be in the white card. Black card gets human design certificate with that too.

[00:33:08] Amy Elizabeth: And basically, my teachings in human design is extremely thorough, but also, again, very interesting and very engaging in a sense where you're going to understand. You're going to be able to pull this information and not just know it for you, but really learn the language of human design. And that's been a really huge tool for me, where can I speak human design without understanding the language of human design.

[00:33:27] Amy Elizabeth: I'm a big fan of the word speaking human design, and really reach people without being like here's why. And here's what it means, because this is where people are actually going to get the transformation is just feeling a connection where, oh, I'm seeing, I'm understood. She gets me right.

[00:33:40] Amy Elizabeth: And that's, that I think is the key language, universal language, really for everybody to understand. And then I always have fun programs. I'm super official. I have, there's always a play on words. So there's just a. There's so many things. So just come hang out on Instagram and that's where you'll find whatever's going on.

[00:33:59] Amy Elizabeth: Thank you. 

[00:34:00] Dimple Thakrar: Please go and check out Amy's work. It is just like you've expressed, it brings human design into the real world and allows us to implement in a beautiful, subtle, elegant way without having to speak the human design language. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[00:34:22] Dimple Thakrar: One final question that I ask all my guests, which I would love to ask you today, which is, if you could give the audience one piece of advice that maybe you've been given or that's your own on, for the audience, that would be something beyond the words. What would that mean? 

[00:34:43] Amy Elizabeth: Everything is happening for you and really learn how to trust yourself.

[00:34:49] Amy Elizabeth: Those are, those have been the most impactful for me and really like the foundation what has brought me here. If I didn't Lean into those two statements or elements, I don't know what life would be like right now. 

[00:35:06] Dimple Thakrar: I feel like those are your codes of conduct.

[00:35:08] Dimple Thakrar: Trust everything is happening for you and really trust yourself. And I feel like even adding that, especially or even when others around you don't believe it or it doesn't make any logical sense. Even more 

[00:35:23] Amy Elizabeth: yeah, and I think there's something so beautiful too about like also allowing yourself like compassion with that, right?

[00:35:30] Amy Elizabeth: Like even when you said that there could be like a bull running forward like that's a visual I had like where you're just like a bull and you're like this must happen and I trust myself and nobody else trust me. But like to be able to again like really encompass grace and compassion with like why somebody wouldn't understand.

[00:35:46] Amy Elizabeth: Or why they would want to put you in a box. And a lot of times it's really out of love and what people know to be true for themselves. And how they would trust themselves. So I think there's like this lens of a lot of grace and compassion in learning how to trust yourself around with other people.

[00:36:03] Dimple Thakrar: I love that. The elegance and the sophistication in that compassion. So profound. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for jumping on today and gifting us this time. It's been divine. Really.

[00:36:28] Dimple Thakrar: It's just who I am. So without further ado, thank you so much audience. What an honor and privilege to have you here today. I absolutely value your time, your energy, your space, and your constant support in this work, this mission. It's a collective. So grateful to Amy today. Thank you so much for joining us.
