The Source Code Podcast with Adrianne McDonald

Living Your Mythic Life with HD & Gene Keys

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the concept of living a mythic life — one filled with purpose, passion, and soul-level connection — by exploring your Design Venus, or the SQ (Spiritual Quotient) in Gene Keys. The SQ represents your emotional journey and how you connect with the world from the heart, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a sacred gateway that invites you to step beyond just surviving and into thriving as the hero of your own story.
We’ll talk about what it means to live your life as a personal hero’s journey, where each challenge is an invitation to grow and where your emotional experiences unlock deeper wisdom. I’ll also share insights from my own experience with Gene Key 14, and how moving from the shadow of compromise to the gift of competence shifted my perspective on abundance and creative flow.
Join me for some heart-centered practices that will guide you in embodying your SQ and stepping into the magic of living fully from the heart. This is all about infusing your everyday life with meaning, transformation, and the beauty of your unique sacred story. Let’s dive into your mythic life together!

Embracing the Messy Middle with Insight from Human Design & Gene Keys

In this episode, we’re diving into the transformative power of the "messy middle." You know that space where life feels a bit chaotic, like you’re shedding the old but haven’t fully stepped into the new? Yep, that's the messy middle, and it's not something to dread—it’s actually where all the magic happens! We'll explore how this period of uncertainty, emotional turbulence, and inner conflict is a gateway to deep personal growth and self-discovery. I’ll share how understanding your Human Design and Gene Keys—especially your unconscious Mars placement—can give you profound clarity and guidance through these transitions. This is all about learning to trust the process, leaning into the discomfort, and embracing the evolution unfolding within you.

Why Therapy Isn’t Enough: Embracing Spiritual Modalities for Deep Transformation

In this episode, we explore why traditional therapy, while incredibly valuable, may not always be enough for those seeking deep, transformative healing. Therapy often focuses on the conscious mind, offering essential tools for understanding our thoughts and emotions.
But modalities like Human Design, Gene Keys, and Shamanism delve deeper, addressing the energetic, spiritual, and unconscious layers of our being. We discuss how these practices can complement therapy, helping us to align with our true essence, unlock hidden potential, and reclaim fragmented parts of ourselves. By integrating these transformative modalities with therapy, we can achieve a holistic approach to healing that taps into the full spectrum of mind, body, and spirit.
Whether you're new to these practices or looking for deeper insight, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what it means to truly heal and transform from the inside out.

The Secret to Radical Self-Trust: Navigating Life with Human Design

In this episode, we dive into the concept of radical self-trust through the lens of Human Design, with a focus on how understanding your unique Authority can guide you through periods of confusion. As we explore the current Human Design Gate 64 transit, the Gate of Confusion, I’ll share insights on how this energy can shift from mental chaos to clarity through imagination and illumination. We’ll also discuss how each Human Design Authority—whether Emotional, Sacral, Splenic, Ego, Self-Projected, Environmental, or Lunar—provides its own path to making aligned decisions, even amidst uncertainty. By embracing confusion and trusting in your personal process, you can unlock the transformative power of your Authority. Tune in for a deep dive into self-trust, the magic of transits, and how Human Design can help you navigate life’s challenges with clarity and confidence.

Discover Your True Motivation:Unpacking Human Design's 6 Types

In this episode, we delve into motivation—unpacking why not everyone is driven by desire, contrary to popular belief in the personal development world. We explore how each person has a natural motivation type that, when honored, allows them to engage authentically with the world. However, when people fall into transference, they adopt behaviors and motivations that aren't truly theirs, often as a coping mechanism to meet external expectations. This misalignment can lead to discomfort, frustration, and a lack of fulfillment. We also discuss the different types of motivations, such as Fear, Hope, Desire, Need, Guilt, and Innocence, and their respective transfers, offering reflective questions to help listeners recognize and realign with their authentic selves.

Unmasking Your True Self: How Human Design & Gene Keys Reveal the Real You

In this episode, we dive into the concept of masks—both the ones we wear with others and the ones we wear with ourselves—and how they impact our ability to form genuine connections. Inspired by a recent visit to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and the current Human Design transit through Gate 59, which emphasizes intimacy, we explore the Gene Keys' teachings on dishonesty, intimacy, and transparency. By reflecting on the intimate relationship we have with ourselves, we examine how Human Design and Gene Keys can guide us in unmasking our true selves, fostering deeper self-awareness, transformation, and more authentic connections with others. Through reflective questions tailored to each Human Design type, we offer insights on embracing authenticity and moving beyond superficial layers to live in alignment with our true nature.

Trapped by Tiredness: Escaping Half-Hearted Living

In this episode, we explore the theme of feeling trapped, particularly through the lens of Human Design and Gene Keys, focusing on the concept of half-heartedness versus full commitment. I discuss how Nietzsche's quote, "When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago," resonates deeply especially with Generators, Manifesting Generators, and those with a line 5 in their profile. We dive into the shadow of Gate 29, the importance of deconditioning, and the role of forgiveness in moving beyond frustration to live a more meaningful, fulfilling life. Join me as we uncover practical ways to break free from half-heartedness and fully embrace your path.
