The Aligned Life Podcast

Send a text Finding and living a purposeful life is a hot topic for people in my community and the personal growth space at large. This week I share about how we each have two paths of purpose in this life and what they each are so you can begin living on purpose and in your purpose in 2024 and beyond. To live a life of purpose you must have full belief that you are here on purpose and the people...

Send a text Peak health isn't 1 thing, it's a combination of many habits that all stem from the belief "I matter". When you fully believe that you matter (and therefore your health matters), you will inevitably take steps towards creating peak health. In this weeks' episode you'll learn about how limiting believes are created, how sneaky some of those limiting beliefs...

Send a text Last week on Instagram I put out a "No complaining challenge". Since what we think and what we speak about creates our feelings, complaining will obviously create negative feelings, and it makes sense that we should eliminate it from our life. The problem for many people is that complaining actually gives you (short term) energy in the moment, and the more you've done it...

Send a text Self respect comes through living in alignment with your values, keeping your word with yourself and taking immaculate care of yourself + your well-being. To me, peak health is the ultimate form of self respect because it's honouring your mind and body. Peak health is not a certain body shape or size, it's quality sleep, proper hydration, consuming whole foods, daily movement...

Send a text Have you ever felt like you're stuck in rut or lost in life? Directionless? Apathetic? Unfulfilled? Off purpose? Whatever you want to call it, I believe it can happen to all of us at one point or another. The good news is: You're never stuck! The "bad" news is: You can't blame something outside of you for why you feel this way ( >_<) In this weeks' e...

Send a text In this weeks' episode I share a quote from A.H Almaas on how problems and difficult situations are created for you, by a part of you that wants the best for you. This may not be everyone's belief system, but it's a part of mine and what I teach in the Align membership and adopting this belief system has helped me live a more meaningful and connected life. Listen to this...

Send a text This weeks' episode explains why being proactive instead of reactive, is so important. There is a 1% realm and a 99% realm. Everything starts in the spiritual (or energetic realm) first and trickles down to the physical realm but depending on our consciousness, we see and react to the physical world, forgetting there is so much we can't and don't "see" yet. Sha...

Send a text Falling in love with your life is two parts: there's the mindset and alignment. 1. Mindset: you need to have the consciousness (thoughts, beliefs and feelings) available to enjoy and love your life. 2. Alignment: you need to be in authentic alignment. This is the action piece: it's a process of stripping away what doesn't belong in your life and adding in what is aligned...

Send a text This is a powerful and deep episode to help you "see" your patterns which are causing you pain, discomfort or keeping you small. A pattern is a reoccurring theme that shows up again and again in your life. The people or circumstances may change, but the feelings you experience is the same. It's a pattern when you've experienced it two or more times. The important th...

Send a text I'm about a week away from race day for the 1/2 marathon I've been training for this summer and in this weeks' episode I share some things I'm doing to prepare for the run. (Pro Tip: This episode is not just for runners ;)) Each of these tips is a mindset tip, even if it doesn't seem like it at first: all change first starts in the mind as a thought. Learning h...

Send a text Today's episode is a fresh take on Discipline. To me, discipline is freedom, but I don't really think about how I need to be a disciplined person, I think about what I want and what's important to me, and I spend time believing it's possible, then the discipline to accomplish things follows. Discipline doesn't have to be, nor should it be, your goal. Make what...

Send a text Today's episode is about wanting it all: Why you should, why people don't and what that really means. In a course I'm taking this was a quote the instructor said: "You should want it all" and he also said, "not only should you want it all, the creator also wants you to have it all" and I am very aligned to this way of thinking. I think most people don...

Send a text In today's episode I share some of my core beliefs about life, health, relationships and being on purpose.

Ps.  Share this episode with a friend who also loves personal and spiritual growth. Pps. Ready to take this work a...

Send a text For you to create a better life for yourself you need to learn how to act greater than how you feel. I'm not talking about a feeling of intuition, I'm talking about the fleeting feelings we sometimes have that we use against ourselves. The feelings that we have when we are in a reactive state. In today's episode you'll learn the difference between being reactive and...

Send a text I have been so excited to share this topic with you on the podcast: The Shadow Self. The shadow is the term used to refer to the parts of ourselves we deem as unacceptable or unloveable based on our early childhood experiences.  If we experienced shame or pain growing up, or saw other people go through a painful or shameful time we may disown certain aspects of ourselves relating to th...

Send a text I had a poll on Instagram asking how you were feeling about summer and your routine and an overwhelming majority of you replied that you were slightly anxious about things being off so I decided to share some thoughts on this weeks' podcast episode. If you are new to creating a self care routine, worried about how your routine will look this summer or wanting to change it up, this...

Send a text A couple of weeks' ago I did an episode on The Law of Resonance and I shared something I learned from Dr. Wayne Dyer: "You don't what you want you get who you are." This week I share another thought: "You don't get what you want, you get what you believe." We also unpack beliefs a bit more: how deep they can run, where they can come from, and how to l...

Send a text This week we are talking about stress. Your mind is beyond powerful - that can be the best news ever, or not - depending on if you use or mind or let it use you. When you google the definition of stress you'll get: "Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation." How I think about stress is that it's not caused from some...

Send a text Today's episode is expanding on an Instagram post I made last week: "It's amazing how you always seem to find what you look for." I share examples from my own life of times I was looking for what I didn't want and found them to help you notice how you may be doing this too in your life. It's also important to know that our mind has a negativity bias and it...

Most people are familiar with the concepts of Law of Attraction, but the law I share in today's episode is what I consider the real Law of Attraction. The most important thing with personal growth is that you are able to listen and learn with an open mind and get curious about how this info...

Send a text It's a cliche because it's true - actions do speak louder than words. It doesn't matter (necessarily) what you say or what you tell yourself or others that you believe - it matters what you actually do, it matters how you actually treat people, and it matters the energy you do it in! Today's episode I share a story about me teaching this life lesson to my two older...
