Not every story is a LinkedIn post. But some stories ask to be shared.

Like the ones that help us understand how we’re wired.
How we make sense of the world.
And why some of us need to speak things out loud to actually process them.

First—let me say this:
I hear the frustration in posts like:
“Not every activity needs to be a LinkedIn post.”

There’s a real need for space.
For presence.
For living life without narrating it.

I get it.
And… some of us are simply built to share.

My youngest daughter is the perfect example.
Every day after school, the moment she steps through the front door, the stories begin.
Not “Hello” Not “I’m hungry.”
Just full-on download:
Who said what, which friend cried, who injured during gym, the games during the break, and the mystery of the missing lunch box.
She talks all the way to bedtime—and sometimes keeps going even after she’s fallen asleep.

I used to think:
“How does she not get tired of talking?”
Now I realize… this is how she makes sense of everything. It’s her superpower.

Some of us need to share to understand.
We learn through our words, not before them.
Sharing isn’t showing off.
It’s how we organize chaos into clarity. For ourselves and for others.

And yep—there’s a system that explains this:
It’s called Human Design Psychology.
(Here comes the nerdy part…)

Inside this system, there are three main “wiring patterns” that describe how people interact with the world:

• Some are wired to lead with individuality (they innovate).
• Some are wired to protect their people (they support and care) - like me.
• And some—like my daughter—are wired to share with the world.

These people have what’s called collective circuitry, which breaks into two flavors:

• The logical path is about spotting patterns and saying, “Hey, here’s what might happen if we don’t change course.”
• The abstract path is all about stories—reliving moments, finding meaning, and saying, “Here’s what I’ve learned, maybe it’ll help you too.”

Sound familiar?

If you’re wired like this, here’s how to honor it:

• Stop apologizing for “overthinking out loud.” It’s not overthinking—it’s processing.
• Share what you see, even if it feels small. Someone else might be stuck in that same fog.

Trust that your reflections are valuable. You don’t need to “fix” everything. Sometimes you just need to say it.

So… are you someone who learns out loud too?
If you’ve been biting your tongue, what truth would come out if you gave it a voice?

P.S.
Don’t worry, I still let my daughter finish her school-day novel every evening. It’s our favorite “podcast.”
