What if the frustration you feel isn't a sign of weakness but wisdom? What if your body knows something your mind hasn't yet recognized?

The Quiet Rebellion of Honoring Your Design
I spent years pushing through strategies that left me drained. I followed the formulas. I implemented the systems. I did everything "right"—and still, something felt fundamentally wrong.
Maybe you know this feeling too.
In this week's Joy First conversation, Jazze reveals something that resonated so deeply with me: that this disconnect isn't random. It isn't because we're doing it wrong. It's because many of us are following paths designed for energy systems completely different from our own.
Instinctively as I've made 'joy first' decisions, prioritizing the ways I'm well-equipped to work and push hard, and letting of the ways I'm not - I've moved into this kind of working... but I love Jazze's approach to this through Human Design.
Understanding your Human Design isn't about adding another personality test to your collection. It's about liberation. It's about the quiet rebellion that happens when you honor your natural energy instead of forcing yourself into strategies that were never meant for you.
Five Energy Types, Five Different Paths
During our conversation, Jazze introduced the five energy types of human design—manifesting generators, projectors, manifestors, generators, and reflectors. Each moves through the world differently. Each creates differently. Each needs different conditions to thrive.
What fascinated me most was learning how these differences impact everything from decision-making to work schedules to communication styles. Through this lense so many of my different clients' skills and struggles make so much sense!
"When you understand your design," Jazze explains, "you stop fighting against yourself."
This isn't just theory. This is practical rebellion against systems that profit from your uncertainty.
The Radical Act of Joy-Based Decisions
There's a moment midway through our conversation where we dive into one of my favorite topics: fear-based versus joy-based decision making. The distinction seems simple on the surface, but its implications for our lives and businesses are profound.
This is the core of the Joy First way.
How many of our decisions come from fear rather than joy? How might our paths unfold differently if we listen to joy, and our body's innate wisdom instead of overriding it with "shoulds"?
What Becomes Possible When You Work With Your Design?
This conversation challenges the foundation of how many of us approach business. It questions the very idea that there's a "right" way to work, create, or succeed.
What if success isn't about forcing yourself to fit proven formulas? What if it's about discovering the formula that's already written in your energy? What if the struggle isn't necessary—it's just a sign you're swimming upstream?
In a world that demands conformity, understanding your human design is an act of defiance. It's permission to trust yourself. And in that trust, you might just find the joy that's been waiting for you all along.
Listen to Transform Your Approach
If you've ever felt misaligned with conventional business wisdom, if you've questioned why certain approaches drain you while others energize you, this conversation might hold the missing piece.
Jazze shares specific insights about each energy type that could transform how you approach everything from your daily schedule to your biggest business decisions.
