Podcast Description
Welcome to Nine Centered, the New School of Human Design Podcast: Where we have grounded conversations on Design, Deconditioning, and life through a nine centered lens.
This is a space for conversations that bring clarity, practicality, and embodiment. We dive deep into the real experiment of living your design, asking critical questions, challenging 7 centered narratives, and exploring new insights in the system that have emerged from years of lived experience.
This isn’t pop HD, and it’s not the pedantic legacy approach—it’s The New School of Human Design.

Caroline Dijckmeester-Bins joins James and Teresa to get into what it means to live life as a Manifestor. The anger, the loneliness, the beached whale conditioning, and what it's taken to stop hiding behind other people's words.
Caroline is a 4/6 Splenic Ego Manifester, certified Human Design analyst with The New School of Human Design, and a journalist based in Amsterdam. She works with people through what she calls ”In Your Own Words” sessions — a process of helping people find their own language for who they are and what they do, drawing on her journalism background and HD knowledge.
