Episode 2: My Journey Towards Alignment ✨

Welcome to Becoming Aligned AF, the podcast that’s all about breaking free from the “shoulds” and creating a life that feels unapologetically YOU.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal story—how I went from pandemic-driven hustle mode to an intentional journey of alignment, clarity, and yes, some messy self-discovery. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t easy, but it was SO worth it. 💡

Here’s what we’ll explore:
  • How I balanced a full-time job at Stanford and my entrepreneurial dreams (and the burnout that came with it).
  • The life-changing decision to pause my business and prioritize my own healing.
  • Why redefining success and embracing YOUR version of fulfillment is key to alignment.
  • Lessons from brilliant women in my circle who are rewriting their own rules for success.
  • A little witchy inspiration: how grimoire thinking—documenting and sharing life’s learnings—can create ripple effects of empowerment.
    • ✨ Key Takeaways:
    • Alignment isn’t about perfection; it’s about a practice of intentional moves.
    • Your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s—lean into what truly lights YOU up.
    • Surrounding yourself with a supportive, growth-minded community is a game-changer.
      • 🌟 Action Step:

      Start your own “grimoire”! Jot down the lessons, habits, and traditions that inspire you. Think of it as your personal guide to living intentionally and unapologetically.

      Quotes to Live By:
      • “The path to alignment begins with giving yourself permission to redefine success on your own terms.”
      • “Let’s burn bright and live with so much intention that our people see the shooting star in us.”
