Most of us aren't missing information. We're missing alignment. This may often feel like 'procrastination' or 'resistance' or 'an inability to focus'... but I've found the root cause is usually friction caused by continually trying to contort yourself into something that doesn't fit.
Have you been trying to apply someone else's framework to a business that was built around someone else's strengths, and wondering why it feels nothing like freedom, and a whole lot like dragging a wheel-less wagon uphill?

We will come together every two weeks for eight weeks to work on the four areas of alignment that matter most right now:
Who you are
How you make decisions
How you want to be perceived
and How you build momentum.
All in the aim of helping you clarify and amplify your unique humanity... the most essential tool you have in an AI world.

Not a to-do list. Not just pages of notes that will rot in that notebook you may not pick up again for 3 months.
But a decision made, true clarity gained, a practice started. And if you find yourself wanting to stay connected, cool! We do this work all year, and we can point you towards the next step that fits what you need most right now.

💡 JOY FIRST DECISION MAKING

Learn how to read the difference between what energizes you and what just feels productive, and get real support saying no to what drains you.
🤝 A SMALL, REAL ROOM

This isn't a webinar. Drop the mask, ask the real questions, hear other women ask the ones you thought you were carrying alone.
✨ WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE
✨ WORK AT YOUR OWN PACE
No countdown timers, no urgency theatre, no "falling behind." Just gentle accountability and the reminder that sustainable success takes time.
You probably already know what your business needs. You just need somewhere to actually do the work, and someone to help you find the alignment that will unlock your focus.
These aren't traditional webinars dressed up as workshops. They're four real working sessions across June and July, where we'll find your alignment, do the work, and (if you want it) show you the next step that fits best.

The magic isn't in what you'll learn. It's in what shifts when you finally take the step you've been over-thinking, in the company of women who get it.

Gifting these sessions is part of how I give back. The results you'll get are 🔥🔥 and yes, I could charge for them (many of my peers have insisted I should).
But holding this space and offering my energy and expertise is one super accessible thing I can do to make a real difference for women trying to build lives and businesses the joy first way, so I'll keep doing them for as long as I can.

ENERGY

Working with how you're built, not against it.
Jazze brings a rare combination of marketing strategy and energetic intelligence. She's the person I trust most to help women step out of hustle culture, to design their businesses, offers and marketing activities around how they're actually wired (instead of what they've been told they 'should' do).
I've been hoping she'd come share her genius with us for ages and I'm thrilled we've finally found a time on the calendar to connect. She will be sharing the very basics of human design and how to find brilliant short-cuts towards more aligned decision-making, with special workshopping and tools available live that you won't want to miss!

IDENTITY
IDENTITY
The alignment under the alignment.
Most founders skip this and build everything else.. and then spend years trouble-shooting why nothing is working or everything feels so uncomfortable.
The identity work we'll do live together, is perhaps the most important exercise any Founder can be doing right now (in preparation for the AI slop-fest that we're collectively stepping into).
You'll leave with a clearer sense of who you are, who you're really for, and what your business is actually here to do. If you've been feeling like you don't know what to say, or you're saying all the right things but they're not landing, this may just fix it.

EXPRESSION
EXPRESSION
Self-expression as strategy, in your brand and in your life.
Once we get clearer on who we're for, we can get clear about how to express it. We'll walk through Colour Brand® (my proprietary methodology built on twenty years of colour psychology + brand-building experience) and do a live colour audit on a volunteer brand so you can see how applied colour psychology actually works.
You'll leave with clarity around your colour personality: the visual logic that fits the brand you're becoming (and the ideal client you're attracting), and one specific thing to change this week (in your wardrobe, your home, or your brand) to find your spark again, and feel more like yourself.

ACTION
ACTION
Your humanity, amplified.
Your humanity, amplified.
Where our previous three sessions compound into something seriously actionable. Once you know who you are (Identity), how to make decisions in alignment (Energy), and how to express that with intentionality (Expression), you have everything you need to use Ai as a powerful amplifier of your unique humanness.
I'll take you behind the scenes of Brand Oracle: the Claude project setup I've built for myself and for some of my clients, that knows our brands better than any contractor I've ever hired (and after 20 years in this business, that's saying something!).
You'll also get a sneak peek at an AI tool I've built specifically for our Joy First Founders' Circle community.

I'm not just a coach, I'm a fixer. I don't just listen, guide breathing techniques, or ask questions: I roll up my sleeves and get in the muck alongside you.
If you've been in the game long enough to know what works, but feeling exhausted from doing it all alone? I see you.
My clients (who btw, are nearly all Neurodiverse) think of me as their business bestie who doesn't fall for the 'I'm fine' response or the 'I've got it all together' mask. Instead, I understand the real weight of what you're carrying and the toll it's taken over time. I'm here to help lighten the load...

EMBODIED BUSINESS STRATEGIST
Jazze Jervis is an embodied business strategist and creator of Constantly Converting By Design: the first program to bridge proven business foundations with Human Design and nervous system work.
After building to seven figures in under three years, she hit burnout and an autoimmune diagnosis that forced her to rebuild everything. Now based in Portugal, she developed her "By Design" methodology to prove you don't have to choose between solid strategy and sustainable energy. You can have both. Her movement, Richness Without Sacrifice™, is the result.

How are these workshops different from others?
Most workshops focus on doing more. We focus on doing what matters. And we're going to use this time to help you figure out what the heck that is. After twenty years of testing what works, the through-line in every successful client I've had is alignment. So that's what we're working on together.
