197+ Manifestor Women Said This...

Embracing the sacred, confusing, and necessary chaos of being a Manifestor.

The Most Common Experience

Back in 2019, I conducted a survey of 197 Manifestor women. I asked them about their lived experience with this design—what challenged them, what liberated them, what stuck with them the most. The number one answer?

Feeling misunderstood.

And I get it. It’s not just that people don’t “get” us. It’s the weight of constantly being misread, mistrusted, projected onto, or forced into someone else’s mold.

While there are techniques to manipulate others into a sort of comfort with our movements, here’s a truth I want to offer you instead:

Embrace your Mystery.

“Deep inside you is a process so precious that no eyes dare look upon it.”

You are not here to be figured out. You are not a riddle to be solved.
You are here to birth something the world hasn’t seen before. And that’s not supposed to be comfortable for anyone, not even you.

Intimacy ≠ Explanation

Here’s what no one tells you: being understood has very little to do with your words.

In our close relationships with partners, children, family, even best friends, we crave to be seen clearly. But the mistake we make is thinking understanding comes from explaining ourselves better.

I’ve done it too. Wasn’t informing going to help?

I’ve tried every combination of words to translate my chaos to the more predictable people around me. But what changed things wasn’t language. It was consistency. Not in behavior—but in presence.

I don’t show up as constant. I show up as myself and I show up safe.

That distinction lives in the nervous system, not the mind.

We must remember that much of the misunderstanding we experience comes not from others failing to hear us, but from their inability to sit with how our energy disturbs their illusion of control.

Being with a Manifestor is a kind of somatic training ground where someone learns to coregulate with a force of nature.

I’ve also noticed that my most understanding relationships happen with other Manifestor women.

A Mystery to Myself

I’ll admit it: I don’t even fully understand myself.

I’m guided by internal signals that defy logic. Urges move me like storms; sudden, powerful, inconvenient. My mind often argues. My schedule protests.

But I follow, because the source is deeper than both.

So how do you explain that to someone else?
You don’t.
Maybe you can’t.

So what’s left?
You live it.

When People Can't—or Won't—See You

After analyzing hundreds of Human Design charts, I’ve come to see how much of perception is shaped by mechanics. Some people simply can’t see us clearly. Their Design and conditioning create blind spots—spiritual astigmatism, if you will.

They don’t see you accurately because they literally aren’t wired to.
Or they have had experiences that they drape over reality instead of seeing the present.

They are effectively blind…
So why are you still performing for their approval?

Sometimes people misunderstand us because we are unpredictable. Sometimes it’s because they are scared. But more often than not, it’s because they refuse to question or understand their own perspective.

From the Mouths of Manifestors

Some voices from the ManiSisters:

“I often find myself always proving myself to others… even when it’s not expected. Like I want people to know I’m trustworthy or a good person.”

“Oof. My Generator friends saw the social side of my 5th line, but when I withdrew, it got ugly. I explained myself every way I could. It never landed. The projections were stronger than the facts.”

“Being misread, iced out, feared, ‘othered’, judged before being known… it’s the air I breathe some days.”

These aren’t isolated experiences. They’re echoes of a larger truth:

The Manifestor was never meant to be easy to understand.

Acceptance Over Understanding

Here’s what I’ve learned in my bones:

The best thing next to being understood is being ACCEPTED.
They don’t need to “get” you. They don’t need to fully grasp the logic of your movements. They just need to trust your heart and theirs—and accept that your way might never make sense to them.

And that kind of acceptance doesn’t come from over-explaining.

It comes from being transparent without justification.
It comes from showing up again and again as yourself—fierce, flawed, and faithfully following your internal current.

In this kind of relationship, the other doesn’t use misunderstanding to try to make you abandon your Self.

Don’t Take It Personally

Whenever I’m spiraling around being misunderstood, I return to Don Miguel Ruiz’s Four Agreements—specifically the second one:

“Don’t take anything personally. Nothing other people do is because of you. It is because of themselves. All people live in their own dream.”

You are living your dream.
So are they.
Don’t let their confusion pollute your clarity.

For Those Feeling Misunderstood

If this hits home, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep shape-shifting to be palatable.

Inside the upcoming workshop, The 7 Deadly Relationship Poisons, I’m diving into why Manifestors are so often misunderstood—what contributes to the gap between our actions and others’ reactions. We’ll explore what really helps, and how to know when to stop trying to be understood.

Final Word: Embrace Your Mystery

You are not simple. You are not static.
You are a cosmic event wrapped in human skin.

Even if you try, there is no shrinking yourself to be graspable.
Start trusting that your sacred mystery is exactly what the world needs more of.

You are hard to see and even harder to comprehend.

And that’s the point.

Yours in Sisterhood,
