Episode 22: How You’re Wired Matters: Human Design for Leaders with Maggie Hilpisch

The Raw Side of Leadership by Dr. Denisa Weber

Today I’m sitting down with Maggie Hilpisch, a human design guide who blends spiritual wisdom with real-world change. We explore what it means to trust your inner authority, especially after burnout, overgiving, and years of pushing through life on sheer willpower. I share my own initial skepticism in learning about human design, the resistance I carried, and the surprising permission slip that cracked something open for me. The conversation also gets deeply personal as we unpack relationships, cycles of ambition and rest, and how much clarity can come from finally understanding how you’re wired.

In this episode we’ll explore…

• How human design work supports self-trust beyond overthinking and self-doubt.
• What prompted my initial skepticism after too many personality and strength frameworks.
• The postpartum doorway that makes human design feel deeply validating and clarifying.
• Why resistance signals a pause, and why human design stays non-dogmatic.
• The couples lens that turns charts into compassion and communication tools.
• What Maggie’s identical twins reveal about nature, nurture, and layered chart nuance.
• How generator energy creates sustainable drive, plus discernment around commitments and access.
• The open heart center pattern of proving, overgiving, and empty success chasing.
• How entrepreneurial lightning strikes alternate with lulls, which are actually refueling periods.
• Why leadership compassion grows when team designs differ, without excusing harmful behavior.
• How leaders stabilize overload by auditing energy, delegating, and honoring each type.
• Why embodiment takes years, and why inner authority connects with spiritual guidance.
