#8 When Your Authority Meets Real Life - Splenic vs. Emotional Authority, Following Your Intuition & Building Deep Self-Trust with Jenna Britton

Practical Awakening - Human Design & Spirituality

In this week’s episode we dive deeply in the Splenic and Emotional Authorities. My guest Jenna Britton, 6/2 Splenic Projector, opens up about her journey into trusting her intuition after a divorce and an unhappy relationship. We very candidly share our experiences of not following our intuition, how that turned out and what we did to build deeper self trust. Jenna debunks the idea that the Splenic authority only speaks once and I share how you can go through a couple of emotional waves while facing the reality of life and limitations in our society.
