What if alignment wasn’t just about what you do…but what you allow?

In this episode of Designed for More, Julie invites you into the feminine art of receiving — from yourself, from others, from life itself. This isn’t about striving harder or proving your worth. It’s about softening the clenched fists, opening the heart, and remembering that you were designed to be resourced.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why receiving feels unsafe for so many of us — and how conditioning has shaped that story
• The feminine principle of receptivity and how it balances the masculine drive to do and achieve
• How each Human Design type can struggle with (and reclaim) their ability to receive
• Personal stories from Julie about learning to soften into support in marriage, motherhood, women’s circles, and business
• Practices and a guided visualization to help you embody receptivity in your daily life

Reflection Questions for Integration:

1. Where in your life do you find it easier to give than to receive?
2. What story do you carry about what it means to ask for or accept support?
3. How does your body respond when you say to yourself, “I am safe to receive”?
4. What small moment of receiving can you allow today — without deflecting or earning it first?
5. Where do you long to soften, but habitually brace or control?

✨ This episode isn’t just teaching — it’s a felt invitation. May it remind you that you don’t have to hold it all. You don’t have to do it all. You were designed to receive.
