In this episode of Real Human Design Stories, I had the joy of sitting down with Carla Unger, a 2/4 Emotional Generator whose journey embodies resilience, healing, and trust in the wisdom of her design. Carla has spent nearly two decades as a massage therapist, yoga teacher, and essential oil educator, blending her deep understanding of the body with the energetic insights of Human Design.

Our conversation moved through powerful terrain—grief, transformation, and what it truly means to honor your “yes” and “no.” Carla’s story is a reminder that even through loss and upheaval, our design continues to guide us toward alignment, empowerment, and purpose.

Key Themes Discussed

• Healing from loss and finding purpose through Human Design

• Early experiments with strategy and authority

• The role of emotional awareness and learning to honor the “no”

• Exploring variables and the Four Transformations

• Living the energy of Gate 14—prosperity and humility

• Combining essential oils with Human Design for emotional and somatic support

• Stepping into new directions: teaching massage and creating a philanthropic project for at-risk youth

Aspects Discussed of Carla’s Human Design

Carla is a 2/4 Emotional Generator with a Triple Split Definition and the Right Angle Cross of Contagion—a design that naturally spreads passion, inspiration, and energy into the collective. Much of her story reflects this contagion energy—sharing what she loves, lighting up others, and learning to trust her emotional authority along the way.

We also explored her connection to Gate 14, found in her chart multiple times, and how it has shaped her understanding of prosperity and purpose. As she moves through her Uranus Opposition, Carla’s life has become a living example of the humility that Gate 14 teaches—that true wealth is not about money, but about alignment, generosity, and sharing what matters most.

Personal Reflections

This conversation with Carla touched me deeply. Her willingness to speak about loss, healing, and honoring her inner authority felt like an embodiment of radical self-trust in action.

I loved hearing her story about the fishing trip where she felt the frequency of her body shift—a beautiful metaphor for how our design recalibrates when we truly listen. I also appreciated her holistic approach to Human Design—how she doesn’t just study it mentally but feels it in her body, through her environment, her cold-thirst determination, and even her connection with essential oils.

Carla’s path reminds us that prosperity is energy. It’s the satisfaction that comes when we follow what feels correct, share from the heart, and allow abundance to flow in its own way.
