Our Best Tips For Tuning Into Your Authority

All right, it's time to party.

I wish that this, moments like this make me wish this was a video podcast because that dance was priceless.

Uh, yes, um, well we can't start off an episode of the podcast without being a little bit goofy as it helps us ease some of the, uh, long distance Conversation tension. It's always, it's good today, but some days it's really bad cause the, there'll be a slight delay in

Oh yeah.

the voice. And those days are tricky, but, uh, yes. So today let's talk about what we're talking about today on the podcast. Today we are talking about your authority. And we're hoping to share with you some really quick tips, um, or tactics that you can use. To just tune back into your authority. Because a little reminder, well, Brandy, you're always very good at saying these things very succinctly. So could you give us a little refresher on what our authority is in human design? Hmm.

part. I'm like, it's one of my favorite parts of human design, but truly, like when we think about like our authority, our authority is how we make aligned decisions for ourselves, how we enter in to, you know, and choose the right opportunities for us. And when we think about decisions, it's, we all make thousands of decisions every single day.

Yeah.

you know, this one can be, again, like a pretty sticky space and, you know, I've been experimenting with my decision making authority for several years now, and I'm here to tell you it is still very much a work in progress. So.

Yeah. I was, um, doing a little like reading for a couple of new friends the other day, and I said to the guy, I was like, Oh, you're yours is trust your gut. Do you feel like you did all these decisions? He's like, no. And then he just like left the room. He didn't

He's like, I'm

no, I don't make any of my decisions that way. But then it was revealed that, um, his partner who's, uh, Oh, I'm I think she was self projected. Um, she often makes the decisions, like, for him. Like, she can pick up from him what decision he actually wants to make. So it's like, well, she's just reading your gut reactions.

Right.

cues. So, yeah, anyway, it was, uh, it was, it was very interesting, um, as she was very open to it and he was like, no, I'm very skeptical of these things, like I

Yes, he was very affronted.

yeah. But, uh,

he's like, no thank you, stranger.

yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. He's like, and it's

His gut told him he was out.

Um, but all, but yeah, definitely with some, so there's that, um, there's that invitation that wasn't there to share that. Anyway.

so, there are seven different types. Of authorities, which feels like so many But I think it's important to understand that The majority of people are, you know, very few of these types. Like, so, you know, 50 percent of people, it's like just over 50 percent of people have a wait for clarity or emotional authority. And then there's another, hold on, let me just double check on this number here. I'm like, now that I'm going to spill the goods, I have to be accurate.

Yeah. Um. but before we get into that, we do have something else we want to share. So we don't talk a lot on this show about what we actually do if you want to dive more into this human desires stuff. So before we talk, we are going to share these tips on your authority. Did just want to mention a couple of things we've got going on at the moment that you might be interested in. Um, so Brandy, do you want to go first?

Sure thing. So, we both wanted to talk about how we work with clients, um, and people that are interested in digging deeper into their human design, whether it's for their work, personal development, to, you know, understand their relationships with their family better.

Yeah. So once or twice a year I run it's three months or 13 weeks, um, course, and really this is for people who run their own like fitness or wellness business. Uh, and it's really about working out how to align with your human design so that you can. Create a business that feels successful to you. So most of the time when we look at what online people are saying and doing is like a very specific way that they want us to like build our business.

Awesome.

Awesome. All right.

dive in.

Let's dive in. So where, who are we starting with? I always put my, me, myself first. Okay. Okay, so I'm, this is for those of you who are also splenic authority like me, which sometimes is called intuitive knowing authority. So this has been one that's been really, uh, liberating for me to learn, but like Brandy said earlier, it can be really hard at times to. to actually use this. Um, oh wait, we're jumping ahead of ourselves, Brandy. We were going to share something else first.

Oh, that's right.

All right, pause everyone. Sorry for those of you who are splitting authority. I'm just going to leave you hanging there for a second. Uh, so as we were, we were doing this, so we did want to share that there's kind of some general things with your authority that is good advice, no matter what your authority is. So this is sort of the similarities we see with human design. And then some of these have sort of more specific parts to it, which we will go into.

What those things are.

So the first thing with authority is that none of us are meant to make a design from, uh, sorry, I

a decision.

I've got human design on the brain. I'm meant to make a decision from a really like heady space. Um, so pros and cons lists are out people. Uh, so that's the first piece of general advice is to stop overthinking it. Um, and particularly for those of you who have like a defined mind or a defined head or both, which there's me, uh, it can be really easy to get stuck in your head, try and make decisions. And that's not where you're meant to make.

All right.

Do you want to share some stuff about the spleen with us? And I'll tell you whether that rings true for me.

All right. Yes. Okay. So for those of you with a tune in to your intuition or a splenic authority, you know, this is that decision making authority that comes with an intuitive moment or with an intuitive knowing in the moment. So this one is like the quietest of authorities and can be kind of elusive. So something that could be really useful to people with this authority is to have something in your toolkit that really helps you quiet down your mind and helps you tap into your intuition.

Yeah, where are you when I need that brandy? Where are you when I'm there slinging that thing down? Hey, stop! Just yell it out from

Listen, I'm looking for that person for myself as well. So,

yeah, absolutely. So, the notes I had on this, because a lot of people who have this authority, or even people who are trying to understand someone who has this authority, is they, um, They really struggle to understand what, what is, what are you feeling into? So for me, what I've noticed is that the voice is really quiet, as you said, but it's also confident. It's not quiet and meek. Um, it knows what the right thing to do is in the moment.

Yeah. It's usually our bossy mind or emotions.

Yeah, that's right. Or, for me, with an open emotional centre is someone else's emotions. Yeah, okay. Do you want me to speak about yours?

yes, please. So, I have a wait for clarity authority or which is also known as an emotional authority. So, Kyle, it's probably my emotions that are, are getting in the way of your decision making.

Look, someone who, and this is actually another good piece of advice for the previous one, but people who are in control or have a good handling on their emotions are like very healthy to be around. Uh, cause you can see them handling that in, in a safe way and they're not necessarily trying to like inflict their emotions upon them. The people around them, which is, which is hard because what you say, it's 50 percent of people have this as their authority.

Yeah, I think that? that's, yeah, that's pretty spot on. So I think it's really about like, after you get that initial instinct, it's really about that pause and giving yourself. Time to process before you commit. It's like you're waiting for the charge to dissipate. before you enter into the commitment.

always like, can I get back to you on that, you know, that's your new favorite phrase as well.

I I I love that one. Can I get back to you? And even when it is exciting like letting people know like that sounds really exciting, you know, Can I get back to you in a day or two? You know, I just I need I need to check out a few things and those few things I need to check out are my emotions all right, so let's talk about trust your gut So, this is another one that a large portion of people have, is this Trust Your Gut.

practice like when the stakes are low. Uh, on, yeah, what do, actually not, what do I want to have for dinner tonight, terrible question to ask someone with a gut authority. So something you can also do is, can you reframe, can you give me some options, can you start listing out the options, and then for each option you can be like, pizza, mm, no, Indian, mm, no, you know, going, you know, going through the list one by one.

authority, is that the conditioning that those of you with this authority may have is people telling you, Are you sure? And this is, I guess, true also for Splenic, because this is something that I try not to do to my son, is ask like, Are you sure? Do you want to take more time? Why don't you sleep on it? Because that can really lead people to doubt themselves, right? And so again, just know if you're like, this is not something that I feel comfortable with.

Yeah. All right.

right,

What are we looking at next?

pick one.

Yeah. Let's do I like self projected or talking out. Yeah. So the next one we'll look at is. This happens when you don't have your splenic, you don't have any of the three sort of main centers that help us make decisions. So your spleen, your sacral, your emotional center, but you do have your throat, uh, but you're not a mental projector. So there's another element in there. I'm forgetting.

Identity.

You throw it to your identity. Thank you. Uh, so the, it's, it is more rare. These next four, we're going to talk about a much, much more rare. They're a small percentage of people.

If you don't know what's happening to you.

Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And like, why aren't they listening to any of my advice? Because that, because if you have this authority, that's the thing you're not talking to other people to get their advice. You're talking to people to be able to tune in to your own authority and what you know is the right decision for you.

Yeah, I think that's important that if you have this authority manage the expectation So that you know when there's projectors and a fellow projector on the other end, we're not salty that you're not taking our advice

Yeah, that's right.

From projector to projector and One of my closest girlfriends has this authority and you know, what's interesting is oftentimes I find After she kind of goes through these, you know These conversations where she's processing, she apologizes. She's like, I'm so sorry. I've just been talking and I'm like, no, I'm and I remind her I'm like, I'm your sounding board and she's like, oh, thank you so much.

a bit crazy with my nephew as well, but yeah, I think, yeah, just the talking out loud and that's the thing, it doesn't have to be to someone else. So that's another thing as well. If you feel like you don't have anyone in your life who you can talk to like that. Then, um, yeah, try just doing it in the shower.

All right, let's talk about the next one that's very similar, but again, a little bit more nuanced. So it's talk it out and be in the right space. This is also an authority that is only available to projectors and it's similar in terms of, you know, it's, it's process based that when talking things out, it's, but it's also important because these people have basically everything from the throat down open, correct?

yeah, so they'll have the throat, the head, uh, and the mind. I'll have either all three or any, any

or two. right, of those. So, Knowing that you have so much openness in your chart, you are incredibly sensitive to the energy of the space that you're in and the people that you are around.

yeah, in fact, that's like recommended that you don't make a decision just based on that one space or person, but that you, you do go and talk to quite a few people. Um, and my other tip here is like, you might have a friend who likes listening to all your stuff, but then wants to give you advice or they, you know, want to tell you what they think is the best thing to do. That's not necessarily what you want. Cause again, we're tuning into our own authority.

So good. So good.

All right, we've

so last. Oh yeah, we do have two left. I skipped over one.

Or, ego.

That's right. So let's do tune into your willpower. So, tune into your willpower is the key. Um, you could be a manifester or a projector and have this as your authority. So, you know, for those of you that have this authority, it's so important that you are entering into commitments, that you are really being pulled toward, that your heart is like fully in, that you, You are certain that you want to see that thing come to fruition.

Yeah, it's a, it's an interesting one. It's cool to hear people talk about this, who have this authority. Because, that's usually the first thing that I say is like, Oh yeah, my heart wasn't really in it and I just couldn't, I just couldn't do it. Um, so yeah, I think, you know, with the other ones we've talked a lot about like, if you feel, you know, like emotional authority where you feel like really excited about something and it's like, well, actually you need to wait a little bit.

Yep, I have a girlfriend that has this authority and Yeah, I know. And so it's like, I have two girlfriends. One is, you know, a, um, talk it out, and the other one is attuned to your willpower. And I'm like, you two have like some of the most rare authorities. It's so cool. It's so cool to like see, you know, these play out on a regular basis. And with my girlfriend that has this ego authority, you know, often times I just tell her, I go, fast forward the tape.

Yeah. Alright. Uh, reflectors have a unique authority. Um,

Yes. Have you ever met a reflector that didn't just like want to cry when they heard their authority?

Yeah. I think for other authorities, like generators look at that and they're like, oh, yuck. Um, but yeah, so the, the reflector authority is to wait a lunar cycle.

Good one. Good

there.

Yeah, working is genius. I love that. You know, I think that what I want to precursor for reflectors is for your small daily decisions, honor what feels good to you in the moment. Like you don't need to wait a month to decide what you're going to eat for lunch

Yes!

or what, or what movie you're going to

hungry projectors walking around.

Poor, poor reflectors just starving themselves over there.

yeah.

but it's like, you know, I think what's important for reflectors to really understand is that the most important thing is, even if you can't get it, give it 28 days is, To not feel like you're being rushed, right? Or pressured into making a decision that you are really taking your time to, whether it's to talk to different people that you trust, um, feeling how that decision feels in different moments, in, you know, almost similar to like an environmental.

That's a good analogy.

Right? It's like you kind of like somebody kind of like knows what they should generally do, but no one's ever like taught them how to balance or like pump the pedals. And so, you know, once you can understand how to, how to do those skills, you know, maybe you won't fall off as much.

Yeah, and like stuff, I'm sure you find this hard with your authority too, but stuff is like moving so quick and it's only speeding up, um, that we, yeah, I can imagine just the pressure to feel like you need to make decisions. So finding people who really respect your wisdom when you're given the space to make decisions is like big fun.

One of the things that I have definitely found is that when I feel like I don't have a choice but to make a decision in a very short period of time, usually that means it's a no for me because it doesn't honor my process. And I'm like, well, if I have to make this choice right this second, then my answer is no, because that's not how I can make a decision.

Mmm. Yeah, I was going to say something similar for the Spleenic Authority as well. Like, if there's no Spleenic, if there's no intuitive hit, then usually the answer is no. But that's hard, because And I'm sure you've experienced it because sometimes I want to do it or I feel like, oh, I should say yes to this or I don't.

misaligned place. Yeah.

I know we're getting into a topic you want to do another episode on, on the fear gates. But, uh, yeah, but yeah, we, we go into this. So that's another one. And you see, you see that, I mean, this podcast is online, so let's talk a minute about the online world. You know, we see this all the time. I find it so interesting that 50 percent of the population has emotional authority and yet we see so many high pressure, scarcity tactics online,

now!

which I guess that's the reason they work is because we're forcing people who don't have a gut or a splenic authority to make this decision in the moment. Uh, but yeah, I'm always fascinated to have see behind the scenes of like. How many people, not even how many people are asking for refunds, but how many people actually completing the course or doing the course?

Stop.

That's the statistics. That statistics is from a big chain, worldwide chain gym. And they know that. They're banking on the fact that 70

That you're not coming.

use it less than once a week. Will, will contribute very list, very little to the running costs of the gym. And everyone else is pretty much subsidizing the memberships of the people who do actually go.

Yeah, the 30%, 70 percent of you are paying for the 30 percent that actually go.

And I always have to explain that to people when they're then looking at like, oh, but why is that trainer so expensive? And it's like, because every single one of their clients goes and, and they're making sure that every single one of their clients goes. And so they don't have seven out of 10 clients who are just paying for everyone else. Uh, yeah, so

I'm like, that sounds like a very projector business model.

Yeah, yeah, it does this. Damn, that's what I should have done. I should have bought the local gym. No, I can't. I can't. But then your recognition goes out the window, you see. So, um, yeah.

So we'll definitely do a follow up episode to this one that's about, you know, maybe some places in your design that can kind of get in the way of our authority.

Yeah, yeah. Um, yeah, I would find that really interesting too. But I just wanted to say I really enjoyed this episode. It was really fun.

Yeah, me too.

I think you're right. The authority is up there with some of the So it was really good fun geeking out on it. Uh, and, uh, yes, if you'd like to work with either one of us, reminder links are in the show notes. Brandy's available as long as she's not full up. Um, my aligned success program is going to start, uh, within the next month or so. For weeks ish since you listen to this depends when you're listening to this, um, so make sure you check that out sooner than later. All right,

Amazing. Great to chat.

great to chat and until next time, everyone, goodbye.

Bye!
