"Do you love me?" "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know? We've been together for 25 years!" "I don't know."

In this fascinating episode of Love By Design, Joan explores Gate 55—the Gate of Abundance, also known as Eternally Indecisive Love. This is the only Love Gate that lives in the emotional system, where nothing is ever stable, and it carries one of love's greatest mysteries: the sacred art of not knowing.

Gate 55 says: "I don't know if I love you. I don't know if I hate you. I cannot know—and in that unknowing lives something magical."

Joan reveals why this gate is under mutative pressure (literally evolving), how it creates the most beautiful unrequited love poetry and art, and why some people are designed to love through mystery rather than certainty. This episode will revolutionize your understanding of emotional uncertainty in relationships.

⸻

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

✨ Why Gate 55 is the most misunderstood Love Gate in Human Design
✨ How living in the emotional system creates eternal uncertainty

Not all love needs to be certain to be real.Some love is more beautiful when it remains mysterious.

What if I told you that some people are designed to struggle in love—and that this struggle is actually the pathway to their greatest purpose?

In this deeply moving episode of Love By Design, we explore Gate 28—the Gate of the Great Struggle, also known as the Gate of Love and Purpose. This is individual love at its most romantic, melancholic, and transformative.

Gate 28 says: "There is no purpose without love, and no love without purpose. And I must struggle to find both."

If you've ever felt like your relationships needed to have deep meaning, or wondered why love sometimes feels like beautiful suffering, this episode will illuminate one of the most profound Love Gates in the system.

The struggle toward truth with another person can be the most romantic thing of all.

Some love is meant to transform you, not just comfort you.

What if fantasy in relationships isn't a betrayal—but actually a form of love?

In this provocative episode of Love By Design, Joan explores Gate 41—the Gate of Dreams, Fantasy, and Contraction. This is the only Love Gate that binds love and sexuality together, creating one of the most misunderstood dynamics in human relationships.

Gate 41 says: "I want to experience love. I want to feel it. And I can't experience love without the full spectrum of human desire—including what I can't have with you."

Joan challenges cultural conditioning around "mental fidelity" and explores how understanding Gate 41 can actually deepen intimacy rather than threaten it. She reveals why this gate influences all other forms of love, and how to navigate rich fantasy lives within committed relationships.

Warning: This episode contains mature themes and challenges conventional relationship norms.

⸻

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

✨ Why Gate 41 is the most controversial Love Gate in Human Design
✨ The difference between fantasy as design vs. dysfunction
✨ Why cultural "mental fidelity" creates shame and disconnection
✨ How rich imagination can serve rather than threaten real relationships
✨ Practical guidance for navigating fantasy in committed partnerships

Do you see the potential in everyone? Do you love people by wanting to help them become their best selves? Have you ever been called "critical" when you thought you were being helpful?

In this episode, we dive into Gate 58—the Gate of the Joyous, also known as the Gate of Perfecting Love.

This is the energy that says: "I love you, and I see how amazing you could be... let me help you get there."

Joan explores how it shows up as both the gift of refinement and improvement, and the shadow of constant criticism that can destroy relationships with enormous potential.

If you're someone who naturally sees what could be fixed or improved in the people you love—or if you've been on the receiving end of someone's "helpful" corrections—this episode will illuminate one of love's most complex dynamics.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

✨ Why Gate 58 is the most misunderstood Love Gate in the system
✨ The difference between corrections from love vs. corrections for control
✨ How to bridge the gap when "love" sounds like criticism
✨ Why Gate 58 carriers often feel unloved and misunderstood
✨ The ancient evolutionary purpose of this challenging energy

Love can include the desire for growth.But love must also include acceptance.Wisdom lies in knowing when to offer which.

Have you ever found yourself saying—or feeling—"Look at everything I'm doing for you... don't you appreciate me?"

In this deeply personal episode, Joan shares intimately about Gate 40 — the Gate of Aloneness, Delivering, and Earning Love.

This is the energy that says: "I'm doing this all for you, so you'd better love me."

Joan reveals her lived experience with the exhausting Gate 40, and how she transformed from someone who earned love through sacrifice into someone who serves from genuine love.

She explores the difference between being a resentful "mule" versus a joyful provider, and why the ego only knows it's in love when it's working for somebody.

If you've ever felt like you carry everyone else's load while keeping score of what you deserve in return, this episode will be both mirror and medicine.

⸻

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

- Why Gate 40 creates the "I do everything for everyone" pattern
- The difference between service that earns love vs. service that flows from love
- How ego love operates differently from all other types of love
- Why some people are natural providers and how to do it without resentment
- How to shift from keeping score to serving freely

⸻

"The ego only knows it's in love when it's working for somebody."

"When love becomes transactional, it's no longer love. It's a business arrangement. And business arrangements breed resentment."

Your service is a gift, not a transaction.Your provision is joy, not burden.You are worthy of love before you do anything to earn it.

Ever wonder why you keep meeting the same patterns in different people? Why every relationship feels like déjà vu—different face, same dynamic?

In this deeply personal episode of Love By Design, Joan Nwosu dives into Gate 44 — the Gate of Coming to Meet, also known as the Gate of Ancestral Memory.

Speaking from lived experience (Joan has both Gate 44 and Gate 40 in her design), she reveals how this energy explains the magnetic pull toward familiar relationship patterns, even when your mind knows better.

We explore how Gate 44 shows up as both authentic shared success and its shadow form — conditional love that depends on what you can achieve or provide together.

If you've ever felt like love had to be earned through success, or found yourself in relationships where your value was tied to what you could build together, this episode illuminates why—and shows you the path to unconditional partnership.

⸻

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

✨ Why Gate 44 creates the "same person, different body" pattern
✨ The difference between love enhanced by success vs. love dependent on success
✨ How ancestral fear drives us toward familiar relationship dynamics
✨ How to shift from conditional love to collaborative love
✨ Questions to break the cycle of success-dependent relationships

You are not here to earn love through your achievements.You are here to enjoy love through your authentic partnerships.

You’ve done the therapy. You’ve learned your Strategy. You’re tuning into your Authority.

But when it comes to love—how do you actually express it?

In this episode of Love By Design, Joan Nwosu introduces the Love Gates — the 11 energetic portals in Human Design that govern how we give and receive love.

These aren’t just romantic tendencies. These are deeply encoded love languages in your body graph.

We begin with Gate 10, the Gate of Self-Love and Authenticity. Joan unpacks how this gate can show up in both its transcendent (embodied, magnetic) form and mundane (performative, approval-seeking) expression — and how it may be secretly shaping your entire relationship history.

✨ What the Love Gates are — and why they matter in dating

✨ Why Gate 10 is the foundation of all aligned love

✨ The difference between embodied magnetism vs. performed love

✨ How to shift from seeking approval to radiating authenticity

✨ A self-love practice to activate your own Gate 10

You don’t have to perform to be loved.

Your authenticity is the magnet.

What if you’re not attracting aligned love because you’re broken… but because you’re out of sync with your natural energetic flow?

In this episode of Love By Design, Joan Nwosu breaks down Strategy in Human Design — the built-in energetic rhythm that shows you how you’re meant to attract, respond to, and receive love.

Joan walks through how each of the 4 main Human Design types (Manifestor, Generator/Manifesting Generator, Projector, Reflector) is designed to engage with the world — and how forcing love often leads to burnout and heartbreak.

She also shares the power of learning to receive — and how following your Strategy helps you drop the chase and trust your magnetism.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

✨ What Strategy means in Human Design

✨ How each type is meant to engage with others in dating

✨ Why forcing love pushes it away — and receiving invites it in

✨ How Joan, as a Projector, finally stopped overgiving and started attracting

✨ A gentle experiment to start following your own energetic flow

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

🌟 Strategy for each type:

• Manifestor: Inform before acting

• Generator/MG: Wait to respond

• Projector: Wait for the invitation

• Reflector: Wait a lunar cycle (or more time)
