Hypothetically Intentional

Have you ever missed subtle signs from the universe until Spirit had to drop a "2x4" right in front of you? 

Join host Michelle Aalbers and artist Alysia Coffield as they unveil their secret collaboration two years in the making. In this episode, they explore the fine line between subtle divine whispers and unmissable cosmic wake-up calls, how laughter softens life's hardest moments, and what it really takes to transition from dreaming about a project to taking real-world action as independent, woman-owned small businesses. 

Plus, get a sneak peek into the sacred container of their creative process—from fully completed guidebook drafts to 100% traditional hand-painted canvases.

What if we approached the transition of a season not with chaotic rushing, but with deep, conscious intention?

In this episode, I’m sitting down to reflect on that late-August energy shift—that moment when summer starts to wind down. The time of year when the back-to-school rush threatens to hijack our peace. Feeling a bit energetically depleted myself, I was doing the dishes this morning when a powerful realization hit: if I’m not intentional about how I wrap up my summer and enter my fall, my current joy is only going to be temporary.

Inspired by a friend’s sacred ritual of "closing her garden," I explore what it looks like to create our own sacred closings and sacred openings. How can we pause, honor where we are, and prepare our mind, body, and spirit for what's next?

In this episode, we explore:

• Navigating the collective energy shift from late summer into fall
• How to protect your inner peace when your energetic battery is running low
• The beautiful metaphor of "closing your garden" for the season
• Creating simple, sacred rituals to honor life transitions
• Listening to what your mind, body, and spirit truly need right now

How often do you stop and check in with your internal energy before moving through your day? In this solo episode, Michelle dives into personal energy awareness—exploring how we experience our internal capacity, notice shifts in our physical body, and project that energy to others, even across a Zoom screen. 

Michelle discusses the power of a quick daily check-in to assess your current state, align how you want to show up with how you are actually able to show up, and give yourself grace if your capacity is feeling low. Plus, she shares an invitation for you to try a simple, one-minute energy check-in ritual to better support yourself throughout the week.

Whether you love long drives or find them a bit tedious, being intentional before you step into the car can completely transform your journey. In this short solo episode, Michelle shares her personal "soul care toolkit" for road trips—from audiobooks for learning and curated playlists to the power of self-reflection and capturing creative ideas through hands-free voice memos. 

Michelle also reflects on a magical, nostalgic moment from when her kids were small, proving how a little imagination and clever thinking can turn a stressful moment into a sweet memory.

Have you ever noticed how tightly we cling to the meaning we give past events—especially when those meanings stem from our old wounds?

In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, Michelle shares a lighthearted story about a night of psychic stand-up comedy before diving into a profound visualization: the distinction between a single snapshot in time, the personal narratives shaped by our conditioning, and the ultimate, Divine truth of our experiences.

Join Michelle in bringing curiosity, playfulness, and higher perspective to the stories that hold you back.

Have you ever pulled a tarot card upside down and felt an immediate flash of worry? In this solo episode, Michelle reframes tarot reversals from a sign of regression into what they truly are: a scenic detour. There is nothing wrong, no failure, and no backward movement when a card flips. Instead, Michelle explains how these detours invite us to connect with the energy of the card before it, providing a beautiful path toward deeper clarity and comfort.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the "right" things on your healing journey, yet somehow you’re still getting stuck in a loop of pain or stagnation? In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I invite you to step out of the boxes you’ve been trying to fit into and explore what it truly means to Choose Yourself®.

We often talk about self-care and healing, but the real magic happens when we learn to honor our own unique alchemy. When we ignore our inner wisdom, the universe has a way of sending a "Spiritual 2x4" to gently (or not so gently!) give us the opportunity to shift back into alignment. I share how choosing yourself consistently builds the scaffolding for deep inner trust, allowing you to connect with your capital-S Self—even when external circumstances feel challenging. 

Plus, I share an exciting update on my forthcoming book (the dirty draft is done!) and a sneak peek into The Spiritual 2x4 Oracle Deck, with a Kickstarter campaign coming soon! 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What it actually means to Choose Yourself® to build lasting inner trust. 
• How to recognize when a "Spiritual 2x4" is trying to get your attention. 
• The one simple question to ask yourself to ensure your spiritual practices are genuinely yours.

In this solo episode, Michelle dives into the subtle but profound weight of the language we use with ourselves. By examining the hidden energy behind common phrases like "I caught myself," Michelle uncovers how we inadvertently slip into cycles of guilt, shame, and self-punishment. You’ll discover how a simple, conscious shift to the word "noticed" brings neutrality and grace to your physical body and your healing journey.

What if the very things that exhaust you are just invitations to change how you are dancing with life? 

In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I sit down with my friend Shylla Webb of Inner Matter for a beautiful, messy, and deeply grounding conversation about what happens when logic meets magic and human meets divine. Shylla shares her journey from navigating childhood grief and a rigid religious framework to realizing that true faith isn’t about forcing black-and-white answers—it’s about leaning into infinite possibilities. 

Together, we explore how to discern the difference between your highest self and your egoic mind, the profound practice of letting go of what no longer serves your capacity, and why shifting from a "grind" mentality into a state of flow changes absolutely everything. If you’ve been feeling frozen by choices, stuck in the hustle, or afraid to step into the unknown, this episode is your reminder to extend the same grace to yourself that you so freely give to the rest of the world.
