As I sit here just 3.5 years after launching my first human design and business offer and nearly 5.5 years after beginning to live synonymous with my design, I can’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for my past self. When I began studying human design, there was no rhyme or reason. I asked for a sign, got it twice, and stepped on the path.

The truth is I couldn’t unsee human design. I couldn’t unsee the truths, the validation, the explanations for all those times when I was told I was crazy, sensitive, a failure, or made to feel wrong for the way I saw the world. I couldn’t unsee all those times I had been projected upon and searched for evidence for weeks to prove to myself I did communicate. I couldn’t unsee the 80% certainty of my decision-making or the bitterness I felt when someone didn’t recognize me. I couldn’t unsee any of it, and there was so much of it….and so I began my journey for which I will be eternally grateful to past jamie for trusting herself to step onto this path.

When I think about the past few years, in true third-line fashion, coupled with my 28-38 Channel Of Struggle, it has been challenging, to put it mildly, AND I wouldn’t change a thing. This time of year is always a point of reflection for me…where I feel as though my new year starts now. A point where I let go of what has happened and set forth on the horizon to something new. The next milestone in my mission. Inching closer and closer to bringing my vision to life.

I have a big vision for what I want to bring into this world, and day by day, decision by decision, I bring it to life. This business I’ve built, the trauma, head trash, and mindset fuckery I’ve reframed and put down, The generational norms that I am breaking. The childhoods I am giving back to my children. The power and confidence I’ve reclaimed in knowing exactly who I am. The intentional way with which I’ve carefully curated my life, my business, my ecosystem, and the world around me.

It’s all by design. I sit here staring out into the sound. Fog has wrapped itself around the mountain this morning. Yet that mountain still stands. I can see its shadow and vibrant colors of fall peeking through. The first light of the East Coast is trying to show itself. The mountain still stands tall, even in the fog. The sun still rises even if we can’t see it.

I’ve spent the past 5 years clearing the fog of all the baggage that’s not mine, which I’ve been carrying. The societal norms that bind us. The systems I’ve been forced to fit myself into. The way it’s supposed to be done. I’ve spent the last 3.5 years decluttering the view of all the business shoulds and not enough, or that’ll never work.

I used the “you’re crazy” from others as a sign that I was pointing in the correct direction to build a business perfectly tailored to the whole of who I am. Even if the world can’t see the beautiful view from the mountain I’ve created, I know what I’ve built is exquisitely designed for me. I’ve had so many people ask me, “How have you done it?” or “I want a business just like you.”

The reality is… it’s not some big secret. It’s not always easy, fun, or sexy. It’s certainly not perfect. It’s messy. It’s filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It’s filled with life and a spectrum of emotions. It’s the culmination of decisions I’ve made multiple times each and every day to honor the whole of myself. To commit to what future Jamie will thank for me. To show up, get vulnerable, and face the hard truths about who I am and am not. To claim what I want and do not. To build a business where I don’t have to settle, shrink or compromise. A business around the whole of who I am. Perfectly tailored to me and the life I want to create and, more importantly, live.

It’s been perfectly imperfect this journey, and it is only just beginning.

And it all starts with me and my commitment to getting back to the nature of who I am by honoring my design.

It is often said that humans overestimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in 3 to 5 years. As I stand here today, I couldn’t agree more.

You can change your entire life in a short amount of time, and that decision begins with you.

If you want to step on the path to build a life & biz by design, I invite you to take the first step with the HD Your Biz – The Catalyst Report. Inside is everything I wish I had known about my design when I began this journey, except it will be perfectly tailored to you for your journey.

With your design in mind,

Jamie
