Ep 90 | Why Splenic Authority Isn't a Whisper: Trusting Your Instincts without Guilt

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.
