I’m thrilled to be sharing this episode describing the pillars of what living a Designed Life means - the practices, processes, perspectives, etc. For so many years I’ve been operating with these pillars in my life and they’ve been infused into my work, but only recently did they fully coalesce into these principles.

The main 3 that operate in a cycle are:

1. ​It starts with you – reclamation
2. ​Know what you’re choosing – alignment
3. ​Water what you want to grow – cultivation

This cycle is then supported by 4 secondary pillars, each connected to a different element:

1. ​ do hard things with great self-care – earth
2. ​ time is what you make it – air
3. ​ it’s all beauty – fire
4. ​ everything has a ripple effect – water

I describe in detail what each of these pillars mean and what they look like in action so you can understand your own life through the lens of Design.
