Authentically Aligned Most of us have a story we've been telling ourselves for years. A story about why we can't have the thing we want, why we're not ready yet, why other people succeed but somehow we don't quite get there. What if that story isn't the truth? What if it's just a program your mind has been running on repeat since childhood? In this talk, I take you inside the subconscious patterns...

Authentically Aligned Kirem Marnett was a practicing acupuncturist, a third-generation healer with a clinical practice, a corporate past, and a gift she kept quietly in the background — the ability to see spirit animals and archetypal energy during meditation. Then COVID took her practice. Grief took someone she loved. And the life she'd carefully built came apart at the seams. She calls what happ...

There’s no highlight reel here—just the reality of what it takes to keep going when no one...
