Feeling flaky, burnt out, or like something’s “wrong” with you might just be your design, and RJ is here to show you why.

In this episode of The Board Talks, Cameron Hogan and RJ explore how Human Design helped her make sense of a life lived in bursts: building a startup from India until her energy vanished almost overnight, learning she’s a Manifestor whose energy is “like rocket fuel,” and finally giving herself permission to rest without calling it wasted time.

They also get into pronoia (the belief that life is working for you), why burnout gets worn like a badge of honor, and how RJ went from ghostwriting for others to sharing her own voice. Here’s how she works with her energy now:

1. When the surge is there, ride the wave.

2. Even then, operate a little under your max capacity.

3. When it’s gone, rest, and don’t see that time as wasted.

To close, RJ gives Cameron a live, intuitive Human Design reading.

About Our Host

RJ 🌹✨

RJ Iyer is a writer and Human Design guide obsessed with self-expression and self-actualisation. She writes daily—for herself and sometimes for purpose-driven brands. As a Human Design and intuitive guide, she helps people decode their blueprints and step into alignment. She sees both as the same work: translating what’s invisible and deeply felt into language people can use. She’s fascinated by what makes people uniquely themselves and loves reflecting back the gifts they carry. She’s drawn to depth—in people, conversations, and experiences. More than anything, she believes life is a beautiful adventure meant to help us come home to ourselves. If you share this perspective and value presence, authenticity, and becoming your fullest expression—reach out. She loves connecting with kindred spirits.
