Hey Golden Child!
Happy December! Can you believe it’s December already? This year has flown by for me!
As I sit here on this cool December evening, reflecting on 2025, I'm struck by how dramatically my approach to life has transformed over the past few years. Two powerful frameworks have converged in my journey: the principles from Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, and the profound insights of Human Design—which I've woven into my daily existence since 2022. (Get your free Human Design Chart from my website www.jalisahardy.com.) Today, I want to share how these approaches have helped me navigate challenging health issues, make authentic decisions, and design a life that truly resonates with who I am.
When Design Thinking Meets Your Design
When I first encountered Designing Your Life, I was already deep in my Human Design journey. What fascinated me was how perfectly these systems complement each other. While Human Design reveals who you are at your core—your energy type, strategy, and authority—Burnett and Evans' framework provides the process to build a life that honors that authentic self.
The five principles from Designing Your Life became my foundation:
- Curiosity: Instead of asking "What's wrong with me?" when my blood pressure spiked, I asked "What is my body communicating?"
- Bias to action: Rather than accepting my doctor's fear-based recommendations at face value, I prototyped different approaches aligned with my Human Design profile
- Reframe problems: Viewing high blood pressure not as a crisis but as valuable feedback from my body
- Awareness: Recognizing when I was operating against my Human Design strategy (as a Manifesting Generator, I've learned to respond, not initiate)
- Radical collaboration: Seeking support from those who understand both design thinking and Human Design
The Power of Coherency
One of the most transformative concepts from Designing Your Life is the idea of coherency—the alignment between who you are, what you believe, and what you're doing.
When my doctor pressured me to take medication immediately for my blood pressure, my Human Design knowledge helped me recognize this wasn't aligned with my strategy. As someone with a Sacral authority, I knew I needed to wait for my gut response. Through journaling (a key practice from Burnett and Evans), I clarified my workview and lifeview:
- Workview: I believe work should energize me, not deplete me
- Lifeview: I honor my body's wisdom and trust its signals
When these views clashed with the medical advice I was receiving, I didn't panic. Instead, I prototyped alternative approaches: breathwork aligned with my energy type, specific movement patterns, and dietary adjustments that honored my unique biology. Within weeks, my blood pressure decreased—without medication.
This experience taught me that authentic living isn't about rejecting external advice, but about designing solutions that resonate with your true nature.

New Way to Support the Mission of The Golden Child
My journey toward authentic living has led me to create The Golden Child—a space where people discover their true design and learn to live accordingly. But to fully serve this mission, I need to address my own financial design.
This is where Jubilant Money enters the picture—a revolutionary platform that connects purpose-driven individuals with anonymous donors who believe in their mission. Through Jubilant Money, I have the opportunity to become financially free by paying off my debt with community support. So far, I've paid off one credit card and reduced the interest on another to 0% working with Jubilant Money and Women's Money Matters.
Unlike traditional crowdfunding, Jubilant Money creates a sacred container where donors give anonymously, free from expectation, and recipients receive without obligation—only gratitude. This aligns perfectly with my Human Design strategy of responding rather than initiating.
By supporting my journey, you're not just helping me pay off debt—you're investing in:
- Creating more free content about Human Design and life design
- Developing resources specifically for parents navigating their children's Human Design
- Building a community where people can live authentically without financial stress
