What are you focused on? Building momentum, or seeing results?

I realized I was starting to focus more on results, focusing more on how much other people were accomplishing (and how much I wasn’t), and focusing on things I had no control over.

Do you get in these spirals as well?

If so, this episode is for you.

We talk about how to truly feel momentum, focusing on what we can control, releasing attachment from the outcome and timelines we’ve set for ourselves, change our perspective on things “happening,” big and small wins, and some questions to stop and ask yourself to get you back into alignment with your life and your work.

I am committed to slowing down, focusing on what I can control, and truly know that my actions determine my momentum and progress.

Here is the book I mentioned in the podcast:

Today's episode we have the one and only, Kat Cozadd, a life coach who has built a multi six-figure coaching business and hosts a very successful podcast talking all things manifestation called The NO Bullsh*t Manifestation Show.

Kat Cozadd shares her story of growing up in a household of addiction, being severely bullied in school, then in 2019 finding herself $70k in debt and working 60+ hours a week and seeing no light at the end of the tunnel.

This is when she was introduced to the idea of intentional manifestation. Within just a few months, her life was drastically different. She started sharing her story on social media, leading her to coach clients one on one and building her coaching program the Abundant Babe Academy.

Since 2019 she has helped and coached over 300 women, lives debt free, travels the world often, and does the work she loves.

Our conversation cuts out the fluff and truly breaks down the process of manifesting the life of your dreams, giving you tangible takeaways you can implement now.

More about Kat:

Kat Cozadd is a Life & Fulfillment Coach that focuses on helping other women learn how to tap into & use intentional manifestation to create the lives that they truly desire for themselves. After being at her “rockbottom” moment in June of 2019, Kat was introduced to the concepts of manifestation & The Law of Attraction and it completely transformed her life. From being $70K in debt, working 60+ hours a week in a dead-end job, living paycheck to paycheck and feeling so hopeless, Kat used intentional manifestation to create the life & business of her dreams that now offers her a life of complete freedom. She has taken all of her lessons over the past few years & created coaching resources, such as her top rated podcast The NO Bullsh*t Manifestation Show, to now help hundreds of thousands of people. 

Today's episode was inspired by a listener's question and did you know you can ask me about questions, topics, or challenges that can be answered in a future episode? You can reach out on Instagram @melissamachat and let me know what you would love to be supported with in order to live more purely aligned to you!

The question for today was about vulnerability, and how do you show up as all of you without fear of being rejected?

I've personally been learning this at a deep level and I believe this is a part of the inner work journey and remembering who you are, coming back home to yourself, and owning your power.

It's also important to identify what the real fear or hesitation is and what's going on beneath the surface.

What are you afraid of by showing up as all of you?

What are you hiding?

Is it something personal that actually doesn't need to be shared?

What if owning who you are is actually helping the right people find you and you can use it as a filter?

We go deep on this episode into the journey of becoming more authentically ourselves, and it's time we own all of us and use that as a light to help others find us!

I'm committed to no longer holding back, and it's empowering and liberating to free yourself of this fear and it's time to OWN IT!

When's the last time you checked in if you are falling into the trap of believing someday when I ______, THEN I'll Have _______?

Someday when I achieve a certain milestone, THEN I'll feel successful...

Someday when I make a certain amount of money, THEN I'll be happy...

Someday when I get my business stable and up and running, THEN I'll feel at peace...

Someday when I build my business, THEN I can afford help and can take a break....

What if that's not how it actually works because someday may never come?

You're actually giving your power away to an external event or circumstance in the future, instead of focusing on being present in the moment.

We are chasing things more than we realize and if we don't stop to check in with ourselves and reflect, it's easy for this to sneak in without even noticing it.

What would need to happen so you could experience what you're chasing now?

How can you see what's already right in front of you and appreciate what's already there?

Take a moment and reflect on where this might be showing up, and what is it that you really want when you get "there"?

Is it more freedom?

Releasing pressure and stress?

Feeling safe and stable?

Identifying the true intention behind the chase is what can allow you to start making adjustments to experience what you want now.

Stop waiting for someday, take your power back, and how can you have the essence of what you really want today?

Purely Aligned was officially launched June 7, 2022 and here we are celebrating 1 YEAR AND 66 EPISODES and I am so grateful to everyone who has reached out, shared the podcast with someone who could benefit from it, and who takes the time to listen and it truly means the world to me, so THANK YOU!

I wanted to share the 3 biggest lessons I've learned over this past year that can be applied to entrepreneurship in general, not just starting a podcast, and see how these lessons can apply to your journey as well.

The 3 Biggest lessons are:

1.  Doing it for You First - Are  you doing things in your business because you genuinely love it and it gives you energy?

Or are you doing things in your business for external results?

If you're playing the long game and relying on external results, it's a lot easier to give up and quit when you aren't seeing metrics and validation that it's 'working'.

Or are you doing things you love and you would do no matter what if you see results or not?

2. Trusting the Timing- Trusting it's all working out exactly how and when it's meant to and it's all adding up no matter what!

How deeply do you trust it's all happening whether you can see it or not?

It can take time to grow and some people see success really fast which is incredible, but what about the one's who don't see it right away?

What happens when you're putting yourself out there, and then assigning meaning on whether it's working or not and what that means about you?

It's about learning to detach from external validation and trust and surrender.

3. Falling More in Love with the Journey and the Process - It's falling in love with becoming the next version of you, and learning to be present in the moment and love where you're at now.

When you are in alignment, when you trust the timing, and when you fall in love with the journey and what you're doing every day, it becomes enjoyable because you're loving your life and what you do!


Where are you on your journey right now?

How can you implement these lessons today so you can start to be more present in the moment and appreciate where you're at?

What do you need to do to live more purely aligned today instead of 'someday when you get there'?

Thank you again for being on this journey with me and I would love for you to help me celebrate by sharing Purely Aligned, writing a review, and say hello on IG!

Today's episode is taking you behind the scenes of a HUGE breakthrough I recently had that has changed everything for me!

This is a personal experience I wanted to share with you because entrepreneurship can be isolating and lonely at times, and it can be extremely frustrating when it feels like things aren't working.

And if you're like me, I would blame myself. It must be my fault, I'm doing something wrong, and what do I need to do to fix it?

My default was to buy more programs, hire more coaches, and spend A LOT of money to try and fix myself.

And I was stuck in a loop and getting triggered over and over again and I couldn't figure out why.

I would say, "If my business was making money, then this wouldn't be an issue".

Which led to more pressure, more guilt, and more shame and feeling like I was failing.

Until my coaching call with my 1:1 coach led to a breakthrough I didn't even know I needed.

She challenged me to stop buying things for 3 months, which I quickly realized wasn't going to happen because I might be borderline addicted....(it's a problem, I see it now!)

And then we realized, what if I spent this money on HIRING SUPPORT instead of trying to fix myself?!

We can only fix things, do the inner work, and clean things up to a certain degree, and at some point, it's time to look forward and make sure we are clear on where we are going.

And my vision was so big, it wasn't clear what I was needing now in this moment.

Sometimes it's a simple reframe that can change everything, and for me it was why not redirect, instead of restrict and I'm putting my CEO hat back on and seeing exactly why things weren't working, and what actually  needs to happen to move forward!

This episode is a very important conversation around sustainable success, and are you creating your business in a way that is actually sustainable for you?

It's really easy to get caught up in what we should be doing to be successful, and follow someone's model because it worked for them, so why wouldn't it work for you?

It's not that the model is right or wrong, the real question is what you're following in alignment with you and HOW you want to be building your business and when's the last time you took a moment to check in and ask yourself if you are still in alignment with your vision.

It's really easy to follow someone else's model because you want what they have, but if you aren't careful, you might be building something you may not actually love or want.

And our ego's love to chase success and the next milestone, but again, are you doing it in a sustainable way?

Or are you in such a hurry to achieve the next thing that you are creating something that won't last if you take your foot off the gas?

It's time Entrepreneur's learn how to build a business they love and that's actually sustainable, and where you can take your foot off the gas and the business keeps going because you're building something that isn't 100% dependent on you showing up with your live energy.

It's great to learn more about yourself and take personality assessments, learn your Human Design or Astrology Chart, DISC profiles, etc...

But are you using this information in an empowering way?

Or are you keeping yourself stuck in a box because that's just how you are and that's what your results told you?

I absolutely love learning more about my blueprint and I've taken most assessments out there, including Astrology and Human Design classes, and I see how easily we can get stuck in the information instead of using it to help us see what we need to work through.

And there are also ways we can use this information to better understand how we operate, how we communicate, and also what to pay attention to.

If your curious about learning more about your Human Design or Astrology Chart, there are free ways you can find this information. (These websites might have paid options and I use the FREE profiles ONLY!)
