Do you ever make decisions because you think you should... not because you actually want to?

This episode is for you.

Today we're diving into heart decision-making (also called ego authority in Human Design), the style that's all about one question: Is my heart in this?

Not "Is this the smart choice?" Not "What will people think?" But... do I actually want this?

If you've ever:
• Said yes to something because it seemed responsible, not because you wanted it
• Felt guilty for wanting things for yourself
• Struggled to separate what you want from what you think you should want

This episode will help you understand how to tune into your heart's desires and make decisions that actually feel aligned.

Key Takeaways:

1. Heart authority operates on "hell yes or no": if your heart's in it, it's a yes

2. Watch for the word "should": it's a red flag that you're overriding what you want

3. Guilt often shows up: give yourself permission to put yourself first

4. Following your heart isn't selfish: it's aligned, and that benefits everyone

5. Tune into your body: where does a "yes" feel like? What about a "no"?

Do you ever get a split-second knowing about something and then talk yourself out of it?

Or have you ever ignored that quiet inner voice and later thought, "I should have listened"?

This episode is for you.

Today we're diving into splenic decision-making (also called splenic authority in Human Design)—the style that's all about real-time intuition and split-second instinct.

If you've ever dismissed a gut feeling in the moment, or you're someone who needs to trust your body's immediate wisdom, you'll want to hear this.

I share how splenic authority works, why the spleen "whispers" only once, and a powerful story from my dad about honoring that split-second knowing—even when it doesn't make logical sense.


Key Takeaways:

1. It operates in real-time—split-second instinct for safety
Splenic authority is about in-the-moment intuition. Your spleen is constantly scanning: what's safe for me right now? What's healthy for me? It's your body's real-time protection system.

2. The spleen whispers—don't dismiss it
You might hear a voice, get a flash of knowing, or feel a subtle nudge. It's quiet. It won't shout. And if you ignore it, it can go silent. But you can bring it back through presence.

3. You won't always know why in the moment
The reason usually reveals itself later. Trust the information even when your mind can't explain it. That's how the spleen works.

4. Everyone's signals are different
Some hear it as a voice outside themselves. Some hear it as their own voice. Some get a flash or image. Discover how YOUR spleen communicates with you.

5. Practice presence to strengthen the connection
The more you slow down, tune in, and honor those subtle nudges in daily life, the stronger your connection becomes. Build the muscle with small decisions so you trust it for big ones.

Do you ever say "yes" when your body is screaming "no"? Or feel like you're overthinking every decision because you don't trust your gut? This episode is for you.

Today we're diving into sacral decision making (also called sacral authority in Human Design), the style that's all about trusting your body's immediate gut response. If you've been told to "think it through" when your body already knows the answer, or if you've ignored your gut and regretted it later, you'll want to hear this.

I share how sacral authority works, why it's not about what you SAY but how your body responds before you speak, and how to discover your unique body signals. Plus, I tell the story of how I was unknowingly asking my daughter to respond twice—and what changed when I learned about her decision-making style.

Key Takeaways:

1. It's not about what you say—it's how your body responds first
Sacral decision making is about your body's response BEFORE you speak it out loud. If you're explaining or reasoning, you've already moved into your mind. Your body knows immediately.

2. Ask specific, time-bound yes/no questions
Not "Do you want to travel?" but "Do you want to travel this summer for two weeks?" The more specific the question, the clearer your body's response. Vague questions create vague answers.

3. Your body speaks its own language
Some people lean forward (yes) or backward (no). Others make sounds like "uh-huh" or "mm-mm." Some nod or shake their heads before they realize they're doing it. Everyone's signals are different—discover yours.

4. Follow what lights you up
This decision-making style is about joy and energy. What makes you feel expansive and alive? That's your yes. What makes you contract or feel heavy? That's your no. Trust it.

5. You can practice this all the time

While sacral authority is powerful for big decisions, you can practice it daily. The more you tune into your body's responses, the stronger your connection becomes. It's a game changer.
