TINA’S PERSONAL EXAMPLE
When I was in my late 20s to early 30s, and I had already accepted the fact that my livelihood was not going to come from a systemic solution, I knew I had to carve my own path and allow my imagination to flourish. No conventional job would give me joy. There wasn’t a livelihood […]
PERMACULTURE AS A COMPASS
Throughout the Earning phase, the following permaculture ideas are particularly useful: Obtain a yield. In permaculture, every system must produce a yield. A garden that doesn’t grow food, a water system that doesn’t deliver water, a community that doesn’t generate connection – these are systems that need to be redesigned. The same is true […]

One of the most important principles in this module is the idea of a regenerative livelihood: work that regenerates you rather than depletes you (or is degenerative). The question is not just “Can I earn from this?” and not even “Will I still want to do this in five years?”, which is the classic systemic […]
THE ETHICAL LIVELIHOOD DESIGN ROADMAP

Exercise 5: Get your free HUMAN DESIGN chart
(Please note: I’m in no way affiliated with this site, I recommend it as a starting point, as this is the site of the human design originator. There are plenty more websites with information!) “The Human Design System is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science, combining Astrology, the I Ching, the Hindu-Brahmin Chakra […]
Exercise 4: My support system
Step One: Draw a simple map of the people in your life. Mark those who are open or excited about your transition in one colour, those who are neutral or uncertain in another, and those who are clearly resistant in a third. Where is the energy? Where is the resistance? Who do you need to […]
