Nine Centered: The New School of Human Design Podcast

Welcome to Nine Centered, the New School of Human Design Podcast: Where James Alexander and Teresa Brenneman have grounded conversations on Design, Deconditioning, and life through a 9-centered lens. This is a space for conversations that bring clarity, practicality, and embodiment. We dive deep into the real experiment of living your design, asking critical questions, challenging 7 centered narratives, and exploring new insights in the system that have emerged from years of lived experience. This isn’t pop HD, and it’s not the pedantic legacy approach—it’s The New School of Human Design.
