Human Design 101.

Welcome to the very first episode of Accept & Reflect — a new monthly series on Human Design 101 with Paula & Lea.

In this series, two Projectors (Paula – a 5/1 Splenic Projector, and Lea – a 3/5 Splenic Projector) come together to process the past month’s lessons and share openly through the lens of Human Design and Astrology.

Our intention with Accept & Reflect is to:

• Offer you realistic insights, solutions, and tools.

• Remind you that whatever you’re going through, you’re never alone.

• Help you feel that life is happening for you, not to you.

• Empower you to move forward with ease and even excitement for what’s next.

This first episode dives into relationship needs, breakups, and healing , and how we can use Human Design and Astrology to navigate heartbreak and rise stronger.

After listening, we hope you’ll feel lighter, supported, and ready to welcome whatever life is throwing your way, knowing it’s ultimately working in your favor.

Welcome back to Human Design 101! After a little pause, I’m so excited to be back with you and to share what’s been moving in my world.

In this episode, I open up about why the podcast went quiet for a while, the big life transition I’ve been navigating (including moving to Lisbon!), and how my Human Design has supported me through it all.

You’ll hear:

• Why I paused the podcast and what felt important about coming back now

• My personal story of choosing Lisbon as a Splenic Projector

• The very human doubts and fears that came up along the way

• How Human Design can be an anchor in times of transformation (real talk)

If you’re in your own transition, this episode is here to remind you that you already have the map inside you. Human Design is a tool to help you return to yourself, again and again.

Have you ever wondered if Human Design is actually making things harder instead of easier? In this episode, we’re unpacking a big question: When does Human Design support your growth, and when does it hold you back?

We’ll dive into:- Why we sometimes use Human Design as a reason to stay stuck
- The traps of over-identifying with your chart
- What to do when you feel low or unworthy (and what NOT to do)
- A simple process for moving through hard moments without overcomplicating it
- When to use Human Design as a tool, and when to step away from it

If you’ve ever found yourself overanalyzing your chart, waiting for the perfect transit, or wondering if your struggles are “because of your design,” this conversation will bring relief and clarity.

In this episode, Paula Fehrmann sits down with Sofia Mellano, a 2/4 Reflector and embodiment coach, to explore the fascinating intersection of the nervous system and Human Design.

We dive into:

• How nervous system regulation looks different for each Human Design type

• Why alignment isn’t always about excitement (and what to look for instead)

• The role of safety and embodiment in decision-making

• Dating and relationships through the lens of your nervous system

• How to use Human Design as a tool for empowerment, not as a box that limits you

Whether you’re curious about deconditioning, learning to trust your inner authority, or creating nervous system safety in your relationships, this conversation will give you powerful insights and practical takeaways.

In this episode, we explore one of the juiciest, most misunderstood aspects of Human Design: your open and undefined centers.

Whether you're completely open in the Head, trying to prove your worth in the Heart, or feeling overwhelmed in the Solar Plexus , you’re not alone. These centers don’t just describe where you’re vulnerable to conditioning… they show you how you’ve been shaped by the world around you.

We’ll dive into:

• What an open center is

• What each center can feel like when it's open or undefined

• Why these areas can be sources of deep wisdom or lifelong wounding

• How to recognize when you’re acting from your conditioning

• The hidden gifts of openness in your chart

This episode is inspired by a deep-dive Reddit thread, real-life patterns I see in clients, and my own experiences as a Projector with several open centers.

✨ If you’ve ever felt too sensitive, too lost, or too affected by others, this one’s for you.

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.

Inspired by a brilliant post by @humandesignwithsofia, I unpack how a trauma response can mimic a “Sacral Yes,” and why nervous system regulation is such an essential ingredient when we talk about aligned decision-making in Human Design.

We explore:✨ The difference between a grounded yes and a dysregulated one✨ How urgency, adrenaline, and stimulation can hijack your clarity✨ What a true, sustainable sacral response actually feels like✨ Why this conversation matters for all types, not just Generators

This one is a gentle nudge back into your body. Because your truth doesn’t spike and crash, it lands and lingers.

Let me know how this lands for you. Was there a moment in your life when you confused a high for a yes?
