• When you are in pure alignment, you don’t need force or accountability because you are inspired to take action, that’s where the magic happens
• If you are doing that and not seeing results go back to the other steps and see where things might be out of alignment and where you are following someone else’s rules 
• It’s constant practice and use these tools daily, it's an ongoing process
• Where are you using “should” “supposed to” or feel guilty or bad or feel shame because you didn’t do something or thought you should do something
• What if you reframe it, pick an area in life that you do feel a little guilty that things aren't as easy as you would like it to be, what is it about that that you are resisting? 
• Is it the way you are doing it or the reason you are doing it and what would you rather do it instead?
• What is the bigger intention and purpose behind why you are doing it
• Break down why you may not be doing the things you want
• Gym example, can I feel healthy and fit without going to the gym. Yes
• This is about finding what lights you up, the essence of what you want to do
• Where can you identify the area where you are feeling inconsistent and what would you do instead?
• When you do things that nobody has to convince you, that’s what you love and is true to you
• Its the essence of who you are
• Step 4 is evaluate where you are still doing things out of obligation instead of doing what you want and choose something that aligns with you
• Its about making daily adjustments

Melissa explains Step 3 of the Alignment Vortex of Self-Discovery, Energy and Intention. The Alignment Vortex of Self-Discovery is the 4 step method she created to help you live a purely aligned life!

• I believe this is the missing piece of alignment that is not talked about enough or not taught
• When you’re in alignment you’re inspired to take action
• For me something was missing  
• We put people on a pedestal  
• What is the energy and intention behind why you are doing what you are doing?
• Is it for external validation to prove and show that you are great, are you giving your power away to other people?
• Are you doing it for an expectation and result?
• This is part of becoming and embodying who you are what you came to do and owning your voice and your power
• Its a process of becoming more authentically you and less about doing
• I wanted to do the same thing that other online business owners were doing and I wasn’t getting the same results as they were and it was bringing up a lot of things that I had to deal with 
• Its another planet to me of feminine energetics 
• The energy behind it is what matters
• Detach from the outcome
• All these things and emotions came up when I was going through it
• Questioning "when will it happen" will prolong the suffering because its lack and distrust
• I just wanted an answer and know what to do
• What is the energy behind it? Are you attached to a result and expectation?
• Intention - what is the reason you are doing what you are doing? Is it to prove to belong or for validation? 
• For me, it was to feel like I belonged, that I was worthy to be in the same room other incredible women
• If I wasn’t making money I was assigning that I wasn’t good enough 
• Are you attached to someone's results but not doing it according to how you want to do it 
• “Trying” is a clue or word that you’re not doing things according to you
• Are you chasing someone's else results? 
• If there were no rules what would you do?
• Money is a byproduct of you living your purpose and being purely aligned 
• We have so much experience and knowledge within us now
• Now I feel it so deeply that this is working for me better than I could even imagine
•  It takes time to actually program and embody that you are enough
• When you are in it, it is hard to see it 
• What if this is part of your path to becoming purely aligned
• Take a moment to pause, reflect, and disconnect listen to what you already know, the answers are already within you

Melissa explains Step 2 of the Alignment Vortex of Self-Discovery, Disrupting the Patterns. The Alignment Vortex of Self-Discovery is the 4 step method she created to help you live a purely aligned life!

• Step 2 is disrupt the pattern
• Last episode step 1 is vision, did you have an awareness that something is out of alignment?
• There is no need to self implode or disrupt or start over right away, it starts with awareness 
• Step 2 is part of the awakening and we are noticing the patterns and doing an interrupt to wake us up and ask is there a different way, is this even what I want?
• The first thing we do is uncover rules that you are following that you don't even know you are following 
• An example is an early riser what defines early, and do we associate that with success
• We have a natural rhythm in our bodies and we are all different 
• Disrupt going through the motions because you are following someone else’s 
• Are you willing to do the inner work to make sure you are living as purely aligned to you as possible? 
• How to disrupt the unconscious patterns, get into the thoughts, patterns, fears, beliefs
• I suggest have a coach, guide, or therapist to get whatever support you need because sometimes you need the support
• Sometimes the self awareness can be enough to change things, it doesn’t necessarily take years, it’s small adjustments that can be made daily
• Things can change fast when you decide, when you choose, and when you are aware in the first place
• The first question to ask yourself is “where might something be out of alignment?” and I suggest choosing one area in life (health, relationships, finances, career, etc.)
• Check in with your vision and have you realized or know what you actually want, we want to identify what the gap is
• Sometimes it can be huge and it can also be small shifts
• Huge gaps take time to undo and restructure and change things to get back on path
• Be clear about your vision and what you desire to figure out the first step to make it happen
• When you are clear, opportunities, solutions, people, and things seem to appear out of nowhere and all of a sudden possibilities are available to you
• Who is already in your environment? Sometimes the answers are right in front of us but we don’t even see it
• Slow down to do the audit and evaluation to see where you can make small adjustments 
• When you grow new things comes up because you are at a new level and having new experiences
• This journey is daily reflections and daily adjustments

Melissa explains Step 1 of the Alignment Vortex of Self Discovery, Vision. This is the method she created to help you live a purely aligned life!

• Step 1 is vision
• Wherever you are right now,  can you look back and see what you were dreaming of and wishing for back then, do you have an element of that right now? Most likely yes
• Will it ever be enough? Why did I feel like it was never enough, because I had to get to the next thing and had this chase of someday
• Step one and vision ties into it because are you even clear on what you want? 
• We are programmed to see the things we don’t want and create more of that
• What you resist, persists and sometimes it takes time to process
• There is no way to predict what we want our life to look like, there might be an essence, an idea, a picture, of what you want
• What is it about that, that you want? Is it freedom, time and space to enjoy life, to travel, to do what you want when you want, is it health and feeling good?
• Vision can be many things, dive into the essence of what you want, not exactly the how or the why you want it and create something on your terms
• It’s easy to get caught up building something the way someone else is doing it based on their results because it seems like the only way to do it 
• It's great to model someone else’s success just make sure it’s the way you would do it
• Where are you currently frustrated or following someone else’s rules or methods because it works for them 
•  What would you do differently if there were no rules? Ask yourself the questions, pause and reflect to get clear on what you want
• Get clear on what you want and be aware of coaches and programs that are teaching their method and holding you accountable to the way they do it
• We don’t know what we don’t know, yes I had an idea about what I wanted, but deep down is that really what I wanted or what I wanted my life to look like?
• When I say growing your business or scaling business what do you think? This is where you really need to take time to reflect and think of the ideal scenario for you and your business
• Dive deeper into your definition of success and check in to see what is important to you and what you actually want
• Deep down in your unconscious you know the answer
• What are you inspired to do? You get make the rules, decide and choose
• We have permission to do it our way and play and experiment 
• Sometimes taking action is the best way to figure out what works, what doesn’t and to change it if we need to
• Take some time to get clear about what you want

Melissa explains her definition of alignment and signs to look for that you may be out of alignment without realizing it.

• How do you know if you have it? Are you in are you out of alignment? What does it even mean to be purely aligned? 
• I struggled with mindset and had severe anxiety and had to work through the what is wrong with me default 
• Even though I understood alignment it took me a few years to really experience things at an uncomfortable deep level to see there were pieces of alignment that are not being taught
• My intention for today is you walk away having a clear understanding of what may feel that is not working, what is frustrating to you, where are you saying you’re going to do something and not taking action, to give you clarity of what is going on
• Alignment is when your conscious and subconscious actually line up when your thoughts and behavior are in agreement
• What people tend to think is laziness or a lack of something, it’s something in your unconscious that is actually preventing you from taking action, something is out of alignment, that is the foundation of what I’m teaching
• If you feel guilt or shame because you are not doing enough and know you can be doing more, that may actually be a sign from your unconscious mind that you are following someone else's methods and rules of what it's supposed to look like instead of following what you want it to look like 
• This journey is learning to become more authentically you
• There are 4 pieces to alignment
• The Alignment vortex of self discovery - a tool you can use in all areas of your life. Life is not linear and not someday when I fix and get better, and become the next version of myself, then I’ll be happy and feel good and feel fulfilled 
• Its adjustments made in your life daily where you are repeating lessons and doing things over and over again but every single time you are repeating a pattern its actually getting you closer to pure alignment 
• Its reflecting and making small adjustments everyday not a someday get there, it will help you make adjustments daily and experience alignment no matter what
• Step 1 is vision, what do you actually want, it’s self reflection and remembering who you are, be clear on what you want to create
• Step 2 is disrupting the patterns, an alignment audit, where is the gap, what is missing, where are things not aligned the way that you want them to be 
• Step 3 is energy and intention, what is the energy and intention behind it, is it wanting to fit in and be good enough or doing it because it genuinely makes me happy no matter what
• Step 4 is inspired action, taking inspired action
• It can be the smallest things that make the biggest difference and something that everyone gets to experience if they are willing to do whatever it takes to make those adjustments
• I’m here to awaken you to the realization you’ve been unconsciously chasing things your entire life and guide you to pure alignment
