The Energy Aligned Woman

A hidden cove on the Big Island. A few locals on the rocks with one towel and a book. And then Cynthia and Rhett, the only snorkelers in sight, in full gear, on the hunt for a sea turtle. Rhett never wondered for a second whether they belonged. Cynthia, in her matching teal fins and four feet of water, found herself asking: Should we stay? That question shows up far beyond the beach: at work, in r...

There is a tool you already have access to — right now, in this moment — that can interrupt the loop in your mind, help you release energy that isn't yours to carry, and shift the effect that any activity has on your body. It doesn't require a purchase, a practice you haven't learned yet, or time you don't have. It requires one thing: permission. In this episode, Cynthia walks through three forms...

It's not the big, dramatic guilt that does the most damage. It's the quiet kind — the hum in the background after you didn't finish something, didn't call someone back, felt too happy when others weren't, or set a boundary that someone else didn't love. In this episode, Cynthia unpacks why that low-key guilt isn't just an emotional inconvenience. It has a home in your body, it lives in your Root C...

You've taken a personality test and felt it — that full-body yes of recognition. And then the quiet that follows: but that's not actually how I feel right now. That gap isn't evidence that you're not her. It's evidence that she's covered. In this episode, Cynthia walks through all seven chakras as a kind of personality test — not to label you, but to give you feedback. Your body already knows wher...

Have you ever caught yourself saying "I could never do that" or "that always happens to me" or "I'm the type of person who..."?

In this episode, Cynthia explores why identity is the CEO of your life and reveals the most powerful identity yo...

You've seen it on Instagram. Someone manifesting their dream life — effortlessly, whimsically, powerfully. And you can't help but wonder: does this actually work? And if it does, why does it seem to work for some people and not others? Today Cynthia pulls back the curtain on what is actually happening in the brain and body when we choose to manifest — and what neuroscience reveals about why alignm...

We talk a lot about feeling blocked. But here's the question nobody asks first: blocked from what? If we don't know what we want to create in our lives, we can't actually identify a block — because we have no destination to be blocked from. In this episode, Cynthia reframes the whole conversation around what it means to feel stuck, disconnected, or like something is in the way — and gives us four...

A retreat with a group of women in all different places in their lives sparked a conversation about what we're each creating next — and what's getting in the way. Inspired by that conversation, Cynthia shares three reasons we stay stuck in energy that isn't working for us, and practical solutions for each one. Because stuck doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes it just looks like life — busy, fu...

A Marco Polo conversation with an old friend sparked a question: have you named what you're creating? Not the habits, not the goals, not the checklist — but what you're truly creating underneath all of it. This episode is about why naming it changes everything, and three reasons why claiming it boldly is the most important step you can take before the next season of your life begins. 3 Reasons to...

Manifesting is having a moment. It's everywhere — and yet, for a lot of women, it still isn't working the way they hoped. This episode isn't about vision boards and positive vibes. It's about three things that are quietly running the show behind the scenes — and what to do about them. Cynthia shares three manifesting truths that most conversations leave out, including a story about asking God for...

You already know what it feels like to be brave — that moment fear showed up and you chose the other side anyway. The release. The freedom. The quiet (or not-so-quiet) "YES." This episode is about what happens after that moment — and why doing it again matters more than you think. Cynthia shares a story about her five-year-old niece who got nervous climbing onto her shoulders to hang her artwork —...

Have you ever just felt low? Not dramatically — just flat, sluggish, sitting on the couch in a cloud of self-doubt with nowhere to be? That's where this episode started. Cynthia was in that exact moment — and instead of staying there, she danced her way out of it. Literally. And it worked. That's what this episode is about: 8 simple, practical ways to shift your energy in the moment. Not a persona...

We made it to the final paradigm. And I saved one of the most important for last. Six weeks ago this series started from a few conversations I had with women who were feeling a tug toward something more — but also feeling resistance to leaning into it. As we unfolded that resistance, much of what was underneath was rooted in a quiet tension between their desires and their faith. The alignment was...

Have you ever felt a clear desire — something your spirit has been pulling you toward — and then frozen? Not because you did not want it. But because you were not sure if it was the right move. The right time. The right direction. So you waited. You researched. You asked everyone around you. You prayed for a sign clear enough to remove all doubt. And while you were waiting — the desire stayed. And...

Have you ever felt like your circumstances were a sentence from God? Like if you just endured long enough — gracefully enough, faithfully enough — you would finally earn your way out? That belief has a name. And it is quietly keeping you out of creator mode. In this episode Cynthia tackles Paradigm 4 of the Mind the Wedge Series — the belief that suffering is how you grow. Not the truth that hard...

Imagine waking up and not having to chase anything. No keeping up with an invisible standard. No checking your behavior against an arbitrary list. No wondering if you did enough yesterday to deserve something good today. Just — open. Available. In the flow of what is already being given. That is not a fantasy. That is your natural state. And in this episode Cynthia walks through the third paradigm...

EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this episode of the Energy Aligned Woman Podcast, spiritual alignment coach Cynthia Burkman tackles one of the most paralyzing limiting beliefs women of faith carry — the belief that there is one right plan and it belongs to God alone.

Have you ever felt that pull toward something you deeply desire — and then felt the doubt creep in right behind it? That cycle of excitement followed by uncertainty, of wanting and then wondering why you can’t seem to get there, has a name. It is the “not enough” paradigm. And it may be quietly creating a wedge between you and God and between you and the life your spirit already knows is possible....

EPISODE DESCRIPTION Something big is coming — and in this episode, I am finally saying out loud what I have been tiptoeing around.

In this honest, personal episode, I share what has been coming up in conversations with wome...

Episode Summary What if the thing you've been waiting for is already on its way — and the only thing standing in the way is a belief you didn't even know you were holding? This episode started with a water aerobics class and turned into something much bigger: a conversation about the rules we make around how good things are allowed to show up in our lives — and what it means to truly co-create wit...

Episode Overview What would you wish for if a genie gave you one wish? And what if he bypassed all your indecision and simply said — I gift you with abundance? In this episode Cynthia redefines abundance from the inside out. Not as a destination, a possession, or a number in a bank account — but as a frequency. A capacity. Something already available that most of us are simply not yet aligned to r...
