About Sivan Hardie
Radical Truth-Teller. Cultural Disruptor. Genius by Design.
Sivan Hardie is what happens when intellect collides with instinct—and refuses to apologize for it.
She’s not here to go viral. She’s here to go deep.
A visionary creator, podcast host, and the force behind Genius by Design, Sivan has built a space for the misfits who make culture but rarely feel seen by it.
Her voice slices through the noise with humor, soul, and surgical precision—calling out the BS, breaking open stuck narratives, and putting power back in the hands of those who actually move the needle.
Sharp mind
loud heart
She’s not your average host—and this isn’t your average platform.
Sivan Hardie is a retired New York State attorney turned creative entrepreneur, impact comedian, and the unapologetic voice behind Genius by Design.
After experiencing profound personal grief, she made a decision: no more shrinking, no more pretending, no more waiting for permission. She turned her pain into purpose, her voice into a vehicle, and her perspective into power.
Now, through her work as a storyteller, speaker, and creative strategist, Sivan helps people rethink what it means to be “too much,” “too real,” or “too emotional” in a world that doesn’t know what to do with depth.
Whether she’s unpacking mental health myths, torching toxic narratives, or helping purpose-driven brands tell the real story—Sivan’s message stays the same: Honesty is healing. Humor is impact. And your truth is your strategy.
She’s got a
Story
Sivan Hardie is a truth-teller, social architect, and the force behind Genius by Design.
She’s built platforms, led movements, and stood on stages—but her real work started the moment she stopped performing and started telling the truth.
From business to media, philanthropy to storytelling, Sivan moves at the intersection of clarity, creativity, and cultural disruption.
Sivan has watched the most brilliant voices shrink to fit systems that were never made for them. She’s felt what it’s like to be too bold, too complex, too real for spaces that only reward performance. And instead of dimming her light—she lit a fire.
Through Genius by Design—her podcast, rants, and unfiltered media platform—she challenges people to think deeper, speak louder, and unlearn everything that taught them to perform.

Reward
a message from Sivan
I didn’t create this podcast to go viral. I created it to stay sane.
Genius by Design is where I put the truth when there’s nowhere else for it to go.
It’s the space I built after loss, after burnout, after being told I was too much, too deep, or too loud.
This show is my release. My reminder. My rebellion.
It’s what I gave myself after surviving what tried to silence me.
Every episode is raw, unscripted, and real—because that’s how life shows up.
And if you’re here, maybe you know exactly what that feels like.
Welcome to the reward.
