Should I Say Yes? Part 2

By Alisa UF Davis


You don’t need a spreadsheet.

You don’t need a psychic.

You don’t even need advice.

You need to follow the compass that was built into your body before you ever took your first breath.

This episode is about that compass—your inner authority—and how different Human Design types are wired to make big, bold, life-altering decisions. We’re not talking theory. This is the raw, real-life version. The moment when you’re staring at a YES-or-NO fork in the road and wondering:

What the hell do I do now?

Last week in Episode 21, I shared my own personal story of making a massive business decision using my Manifestor inner authority. I cracked open the energy and emotional chaos that came with it. This week? We’re continuing that journey—but through the lens of three other incredible designs:

  • Projector with Splenic Authority

  • Reflector with Lunar Authority

  • Manifesting Generator with Emotional + Sacral Authority

If you’ve ever found yourself hesitating, second-guessing, or pushing through decisions just to make the discomfort stop—this one’s for you.

Let’s walk through how this same exact decision—signing up for a TEDx-style speaking program—might unfold for each of these designs.

If You’re a Projector with Splenic Authority…

You’re not here to hustle.

You’re not here to force.

You’re here to wait for the invitation—and then feel the whisper of your spleen.

The spleen doesn’t shout. It doesn’t rationalize. It doesn’t ride emotional waves. It speaks quietly, instinctively, and only in the now. One whisper. One flicker. A yes—or a no.

And it’s gone.

So for you, the invitation arrives—someone sees your light, your depth, your power. They say: “I think you’d be perfect for this program.”

That’s when you pause—not to analyze, but to listen. Deep inside the body.

You might feel a soft yes. A subtle glow. A quiet deepening.

And then your mind chimes in with fear and logic and pressure.

But the spleen already answered.

And if you honor that first whisper, you move from instinct—not from fear. You move with clarity—not with urgency. And if the answer is no, you don’t push. You pivot.

That’s the Splenic Projector path. And it’s powerful.

If You’re a Reflector with Lunar Authority…

You’re not designed to make quick decisions.

You’re not built for pressure.

You’re here to wait—to honor the cycle of the moon.

If someone invited you into something big—like a TEDx program—you wouldn’t rush to say yes. You’d feel the invitation… and then give yourself 28 days (or close to it) to experience how that decision lands in your system across time.

Each day becomes a mirror.

Each mood, each setting, each environment offers new data.

Clarity doesn’t come in a moment. It comes in a pattern—the consistency that emerges after the emotions settle and the moon has lit up every corner of your chart.

And when that pattern steadies into a truth that doesn’t waver?

That’s when you move.

Not from hype.

Not from panic.

But from deep, embodied wisdom.

That’s the Reflector path. And it’s breathtaking.

If You’re a Manifesting Generator with Emotional + Sacral Authority…

You’re fast—but your clarity is not.

First comes the wave:

That high of “Oh my god, this is IT!”

Then the low of “What if I crash and burn?”

Neither is truth.

You wait. You breathe. You let the wave move through you until you hit solid ground—emotional neutrality. That’s when the second part begins.

You go to your sacral. You ask:

Do I want this?

And your body answers:

Uh-huh (yes).

Or uh-uh (no).

Clear. Immediate. True.

And you trust it.

Even if the mind is screaming.

Even if someone says “last chance.”

Even if your coach is dangling a discount.

Because when you wait for emotional clarity and ask your gut from that neutral place?

You become unstoppable.

So Let Me Ask You This…

If you’re a Projector with Splenic Authority:

Are you giving yourself the stillness to hear the whisper?

Or are you overriding it with logic and fear?

If you’re a Manifesting Generator with Emotional + Sacral Authority:

Are you riding the wave?

Or committing too soon—or too late?

If you’re a Reflector with Lunar Authority:

Are you honoring time and space?

Or letting pressure cloud your truth?

Because Here’s What’s True:

Your inner authority isn’t a vibe.

It’s not a feeling.

It’s a biological compass. A cellular knowing. A built-in truth detector.

And when you learn to hear it—and follow it?

Everything changes.

You stop leaking energy.

You stop shape-shifting to make other people comfortable.

You stop fighting your own design.

And your real life begins.

Not the performance.

Not the hustle.

Not the proving.

Just the truth.

Your truth.

And from that place?

Everything flows.
