In this solo episode, Paula dives deep into one of the most crucial (and overlooked) aspects of Human Design: conditioning by Type. Whether you’re a Generator, Manifestor, Projector, Reflector, or Manifesting Generator, you’ve likely been living with patterns that were never yours to carry.

Conditioning often begins in childhood and comes from family, school, society, and especially our open centers. In this episode, Paula breaks down how each Type gets most heavily conditioned, and offers grounded, practical insights on how to begin releasing those patterns so you can return to your natural, authentic rhythm.

✨ What you’ll learn:

• Why Generators feel stuck or unsure how to make decisions

• The trap of overthinking and restlessness for Projectors

• How Manifestors lose power by avoiding communication

• What Reflectors need most to protect their energy

• How to begin the deconditioning process

• Why Strategy & Authority still matter most

In this soulful and energizing conversation, Paula Fehrmann is joined by Lea Cristin Besemer, Human Design Mentor, Podcaster, Coach, and radiant example of someone living life in high frequency. Together, they explore the intersection of prayer, purpose, and partnership, how asking for what you want with full-hearted clarity can reshape your life.

Lea shares her personal practice of “praying for it all,” how she calls in both love and aligned work, and what it actually looks like to live in surrendered action. The episode flows through themes of worthiness, magnetism, emotional self-responsibility, and using embodiment as a compass for aligned decisions.

✨ What we talk about:

• What it means to “pray for it all” and actually receive

• The energetics of magnetism in love, business, and creativity

• Embodiment as the bridge between vision and reality

• What Lea did differently to call in healthy and powerful connections

• How to trust your own enoughness, even in the waiting

• Taking up space as a woman, emotionally and spiritually

• The truth about desire, disappointment, and divine timing

Do you feel like your Splenic Authority should whisper, but… you’re not quite hearing it that way?

In this episode, Paula breaks down one of the most misunderstood aspects of Human Design: what the Spleen actually is, and what it’s not. You'll learn how your body speaks through the Spleen and how the mind can disguise itself as intuition.

Paula also shares a practical “Splenic Toolkit”: a collection of phrases and energetic postures you can use when your spontaneous knowing doesn’t align with other people’s expectations or formerly made plans.

This episode was inspired by a Reddit thread.

Splenic Toolkit: Sayings for speaking your truth with clarity & care

• That doesn’t work for me, let’s find another way.

• I’m doing this for me, not against you.

• I’d rather not promise you that.

• I totally see your perspective, and I’d like to choose differently.

• I think I’ll go ahead and forgive myself for that right now.

• I’m realising I’m not really interested in that, could we speak about something else?

• I’d prefer to be with myself right now.

• I’m sorry I was wrong.

• I changed my mind.

• It all sounds logical, but my gut is telling me something different.

• I’m not available for that, and I’d rather be honest than resentful.

• I know this might be inconvenient, but I need to trust what’s right for me right now.

• Thank you for trusting me to be honest, even when it’s hard.

After hosting two back-to-back retreats, I kept hearing the same question come up: "What does it actually mean to be emotional or non-emotional in Human Design?". So I decided to revisit one of the most downloaded episodes on the podcast and give it new life.

In this solo episode, I break down the foundational difference between defined and undefined Solar Plexus energy, what that means for your emotional experience, how to work with your authority (instead of fighting it), and why understanding this piece is crucial for relationships, self-trust, and nervous system regulation.

Whether you’re brand new to Human Design or deep in your experiment, this episode will help you tune into your emotional wave, or your spontaneous knowing with more compassion, clarity, and confidence.

🔑 Takeaways

• The difference between emotional and non-emotional authority

• How emotional waves affect decision-making

• Why waiting for clarity matters

• How non-emotionals are conditioned to feel what’s not theirs

• Tips for navigating emotional intensity in relationships

• How to bring nervous system awareness into your authority practice

In this episode of Human Design 101, we continue our Living Your Design series by exploring what it looks like when a Generator lives in deep alignment, without ever having formally studied Human Design. This is a grounded and honest conversation about living the experiment intuitively, led by the body and the sacral’s quiet wisdom.

We speak about the beauty of living your design naturally, through intuitive decisions, embodiment, and the sometimes messy process of deconditioning. You'll hear how self-compassion, frustration, and curiosity play a role in creating an aligned life, even without needing all the technical knowledge of the system.

This episode is a reminder that Human Design isn't about doing it perfectly, it's about listening deeply, experimenting courageously, and living with presence.

Takeaways:

• You don’t need to study Human Design deeply to live it meaningfully

• Generators thrive when they honor their sacral yes

• Frustration is a signal, not a problem

• People-pleasing keeps us disconnected from what’s true

• Rituals and embodiment practices build a bridge back to self

• Self-compassion is essential in the deconditioning process

• Life is a living experiment, not a formula
