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!)

The worst financial advice I ever received is.... increase your lifestyle and expenses to keep you motivated.
This episode shares WHY this is not sustainable and can lead to burn out, and how forcing yourself to stay in the grind and continue to find business is actually coming from a place of lack.
The best financial advice I ever received was splitting my income into 4 bank accounts so I could see what I really had, and a $10,000 check is NOT $10,000 to go splurge and spend!
These are my personal experiences and opinions, and please make sure to consult with your financial team/CPA before making any decisions and how much you should be putting into each of your accounts!
If you want a more positive way to stay motivated, check out the 3 Keys to Consistency so you can build a business where you're actually excited and inspired to take action and be consistent.

DISCLAIMER: This podcast episode covers topics that may be sensitive such as body image and how judgmental and harsh we can be towards ourselves.
I really wasn't sure if I was going to move forward with this episode or not because it's extremely personal, and I realized it really is a conversation we need to be having and it's not talked about enough.
My self-talk, the way I saw myself in the mirror, my perception of my looks was completely filtered through the most negative perspective and I didn't realize how it was affecting my life until I had an awakening at NLP Master Practitioner training in 2020.
I realized the way I saw myself wasn't necessarily true, and my journey to loving myself began.
We are so conditioned that we 'should' look a certain way, when in reality we are judging ourselves compared to photoshop and social media filters that aren't realistic or real.
We can be picking ourselves a part when today is the youngest we will be, and someday we will look back and wish we were nicer and loved ourselves more.
Have you ever looked at a photo of yourself from the past and realized how amazing you looked then?
Do you wish you looked that way now?
What if we are missing out on the best years of our lives because we're being so harsh and critical, instead of appreciating our bodies in this moment.
I know this can take time, but what if we started small and just received it when someone gives you a compliment?
What if you look in the mirror today and you find something you're grateful for?
This is a journey and a process to falling in love with yourself again, and it's never too late to realize what's already right in front of you!

It's time to take back control of your mind, your life, and your business!
If you've listened to Episodes 4-7 it's about the Alignment Vortex of Self-Discovery, a 4 step process to help you make adjustments to make sure you are living in pure alignment, and I realized there's another layer to this that adds to this process.
It's beyond getting clear on your vision, doing a reality check and audit, being clear on your energy and intention, and then taking inspired action.
It's actually taking back control of your mind, your life, and your business and being clear on which area is needing support.
It's taking back control of what you CAN control which is your time, your boundaries, your standards, and what you're spending your time on.
Where do you have a choice that maybe you didn't see before?
What is something you can do to get some of your time back?
Entrepreneurship is a process and a journey and it doesn't need to take over your life and control you.
So which area do you get to focus on next?
Mindset, Systems, Hiring, or Leadership?

What do you do when things don't feel clear and how do you handle the unknown?
Are you trying to have all the answers and figure it all out before making a decision?
Because clarity actually comes from action and movement!
Trying to figure it all out first is only going to bring more resistance and frustration, and it's taking that first step that will help allow the clarity to come in.
Sometimes it's about doing nothing at all, going for a walk, going outside, having fun, and disconnecting to remember why you're doing this in the first place, and what you actually want.
So if you're looking for clarity, you're confused about your next step, or you are searching for answers, listen to today's episode to remind yourself that it's taking baby steps forward that will help you find what you're looking for.

What if you're not actually behind, and you don't need to catch up?
What if you're exactly where you're meant to be and it's about trusting the timing?
Is it possible you are trying to fit into a box and doing what you should be doing, instead of doing what would work best for you?
This weeks new episode of Purely Aligned is an important message about this mindset of being behind, should be doing more, and always feeling like you need to catch up.
And a question I love to ask is.... You're behind according to who?
Who’s rules are you following, and the guilt and shame of what you should be doing or are supposed to be doing is a sign you may not be doing what’s best for you.
Check out the quick 20 min episode so you can release the guilt and beating yourself up because you’re not behind and you don’t need to catch up!

Did you get into entrepreneurship to have freedom in your life?
Do you feel like you have freedom in your business now?
Or has the business taken over?
I believe there are 3 stages on the entrepreneurial journey that lead to ultimate freedom.
1. Alignment
2. Scale
3. Build Wealth
And this isn't someday when you've achieved a certain level, then you can be free and enjoy freedom in your life....
This is how can you start to build, plan, and create things in a way that you can have it now?
What is your definition of freedom?
For me it involves passive income, and a mentor once asked me what my passive income goal was, and I had never thought of it that way before.
Listen to the full episode to find out what the real path to entrepreneurial freedom is and how each stage has it's own challenges and blocks that can prevent you from achieving your goals if you aren't aware of what's really happening and how to solve it!

Have you ever said "I wish I was more consistent?"
"Maybe I need more discipline, motivation, and need more accountability.."
If you are not being consistent doing what you're 'supposed to be doing', do you really want to be doing it in the first place?
The secret to consistency is NOT force, accountability, and discipline.
The secret IS making sure it's coming from you and what you want to do in the first place.
And I have created something new to help you create a business model that is true to your vision and how you want it to be!
3 Keys to Consistency:
A Real Estate Agent’s Guide to creating a consistent business that will make lead generation, finding more business, and making more money easy
If you’re a Real Estate Agent who wishes you had more discipline, motivation, or you don’t understand why you know what to do but still aren’t taking action, then this is for you!

So what are the 3 keys?
1. Why
2. How
3. What
1. Why- Why are you doing this? Why did you get into this business? What was your vision?
It's reconnecting to your vision and what you want to create
2. How- If no one told you how to do it, how would you do it?
When's the last time someone asked you how YOU want to do it? What excites you? What are you already doing? If you could build a business in a way that gives you energy and you enjoy doing it, wouldn't you rather do that instead of forcing yourself to do things you're 'supposed to be doing', but don't actually want to do?
3. What- What's really stopping you from taking action?
Wouldn't it help to learn how to identify what's really getting in your way? Is it a fear or is there a skill that's missing? Learning tools you can use when life happens and you're feeling stuck to identify what's really going on gives you resources to do something about it!
There is a BIG difference building a business in a way that someone told you because that's what you should do, instead of building it in a way that works to you and is aligned to your vision.
There are thousands of ways to succeed in this business, and it's time we take a moment to figure out what we want in the first place.

Is there an area of your life that seems to be easier than others?
It can be relationships, business, physical health, etc. and does one area seem to go better and come easier, or is there an area that seems to be more of a struggle?
How much are we forcing, pushing, and trying to make something happen without realizing we've become attached to the outcome that we want?
I realized something huge during a conversation with a friend, which was what would happen if we look at the areas of our life that are going well and seem to come easier, and figure out WHY!
What are we doing that's different, who are we being, how can we apply that to the areas we are struggling with?
It's detaching from the outcome, being unattached, and applying that energy to the areas that feel like they aren't working.

Hustle and Grind is not sustainable, and can we please normalize rest, recovery, and putting our energy first?
What if we lived in a world where it was honored and respected to reschedule or ask for an extension? (there is a disclaimer to this in the episode and it always starts with effective communication of course)
An Instagram post from last year reminded me that we need to continue this conversation that sucking it up and pushing through leads to burnout even faster and it's honestly not healthy at all.
How long are you willing to force and push before the signals to slow down start to get louder?
What if this is really about normalizing asking for what you need?
It's also MS (Multiple Sclerosis) awareness week and I'm sharing how the lessons I've learned about listening to my body actually apply to entrepreneurship and this conversation as well.
The free hiring class I mention in this episode is linked below, and it's time to let your body lead and learn to slow down to listen!

Purely Aligned was originally created by Melissa Machat in June of 2022 to help empower entrepreneurs to create life and business on their terms. With the original 82 episodes and some incredible…
What was really happening with Melissa behind the scenes at that time though was a Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, restructuring her Real Estate business, and trying to figure out how to also run an online business and podcast while her body was shutting down which led to pausing Purely Aligned in September of 2023.
Since pausing Purely Aligned, Melissa has been on a journey of grieving an old life and identity, closing down all of her businesses, untangling her self worth being tied to productivity and achievement, and navigating her new normal of no longer being able to work due to MS.
This new season of Purely Aligned is sharing the behind the scenes of the lessons learned during the 3 year pause, navigating life with a chronic illness, and sharing advice and financial hacks that have helped Melissa throughout this new season of life.
