The Recipe for Joy - using your Human Design
Joy isn’t something fluffy or fleeting. It’s the foundation of my life, my brand, and the energy I want to create a movement around.
When I made the decision to use my Human Design as a guide, everything shifted. It eased the process of finding alignment and sped up the creation of joy — because I finally had a framework for living a life I truly loved.
When I left my corporate career, I had to redefine what success meant for me. It wasn’t promotions or pay cheques anymore. My new definition came quickly:
Loving what I do. Loving who I do it with. Loving who I am.
That last part — loving who I am — turned out to be the clincher.
When I started my first business Heal Yourself Happy in 2018, I asked myself the same question again: What does ‘happy’ mean to me? At that time, healing from PTSD, depression, and disordered eating, “happy” meant feeling content with where I was and excited about what was ahead.
And when I chose joy as the core energy for my brand, I asked myself once more: What’s my recipe for joy?
The Ingredients of Joy
Like baking a cake, joy needs certain ingredients working together. Here’s mine:
Peace of mind
Health of body
Lots of love
A bag of dreams
Magical sprinkles (the uniqueness that is me, the uniqueness that is you!)
Peace + Health = The Foundation
Think of peace of mind and health of body like butter and sugar in a cake. They form the base that everything else builds on.
In Human Design, peace of mind comes when you live in alignment with your Energy Type, following your Strategy and Authority. It’s not about “getting life wrong” — it’s about trusting the way you’re designed to move through the world.
Health flows when your energy centres are in balance. Each centre in Human Design connects to part of the body. When you’re aligned, energy moves smoothly; when you’re not, it shows up in headaches, tummy troubles, burnout, or fatigue.
Love = The Structure
Love is the eggs and flour. It holds the cake together and adds richness and flavour.
In life, love is what connects everything — your purpose, your relationships, and ultimately, how you feel about yourself.
Through the Human Design lens:
Your Sacral centre lights up when you’re doing what you truly love.
Your G centre is your compass for self-love, identity, and aligned choices.
Your Heart centre reminds you that joy isn’t about comparison or competition — it’s about following your truest of desires.
Dreams = The Rise
Dreams are the raising agent — the baking powder or soda that makes the cake rise. Without them, life stays flat, where you feel stuck or trapped where you are.
In Human Design, your Crown centre is the space of inspiration and divine connection. Your dreams give you something to reach for, to lift you higher, and to keep you expanding.
Magic = The Sprinkles
And then comes the magic. The sprinkles on top. That’s you.
Your uniqueness is the flavour no one else can bring. In Human Design, this is reflected in your Profile lines — the way you’re here to express yourself, connect and interact with others, and live out your purpose with your own unique set of behaviours and personality traits.
Joy Is Serious Business
I take my joy seriously — because I’m serious about living a life I love.
And here’s the best part: you already have all the ingredients inside you. Human Design is simply the recipe book that shows you how to combine them in a way that works for your unique design.

Joy this summer
This summer was created by design using my Human Design - As a Generator it was simply doing more of what I loved, with who I love, in a way that means I love who I am being. I have created a way of working, multiple businesses that fuels me and allows me to be with my true loves - my family - and attract clients I love. AND it allows me to look after myself mentally and physically…
““I’d been forcing myself into boxes that weren’t right for me, and it left me exhausted. Human Design gave me language for something I’d felt for years and Ali has helped me find a way back to myself.”
