The Alignment Tribe Podcast

Hello, everyone! Before we dive into today’s episode, I first want to say thank you so much if you participated in our very special event, Stop Self Sabotage Forever. It was so much fun for me to be able to give you that behind the scenes look at what we do inside Align + Design Your Life.

I know that for people who came into that event and participated, they had some amazing breakthroughs. I know that to be true, not just because people told me that, but because there are very few people who are doing what we do in the Alignment Tribe. There are very few people in the personal development world who are creating breakthroughs and transformations in this way. It’s a totally different way of doing things and being able to experience it in the Realign Process is hard to describe in words — it’s really an experience and I’m just so thrilled that you all came in and had that experience.

So, on to today’s topic — how to create more confidence and trust. The reason I wanted to talk about this today is that it ties in really nicely with what we did in the live event. Basically the opposite of self sabotage is following through. It’s doing what you say you’re going to do and that is really a big part of creating confidence.

I don’t know about you, but I used to think that confidence came from success. That once I had some success, then I would feel confident about what I was doing. That might be a structure that most of us buy into that starts at a really young age. But then what happens when you’re doing something new, when you are launching a new program, when you’re admitting to yourself that you’re ready for the next level, when you want to start a mastermind, when you want to start a podcast, when you want to write the book, when you want to launch the new business, whatever that is — if you’ve never done it before, then you haven’t been successful at it yet.

So if you are wanting the success before you gain the confidence, you’re kind of stuck, right? Let’s dive into that on this episode, how to get unstuck and to start moving toward accomplishing the big goals.

Listen in to the full episode:

What you’ll hear:

How having confidence and trust connects with stopping self sabotage

Why it’s important to create confidence before success and how to do this

How to stop relying on results for confidence

How your daily habits help you feel good about yourself, no matter how small they are

In this episode, Christina and I talk about what it means to find your voice, to make the tough decisions that allow you to live your true nature and purpose.

Christina is a successful mortgage lender who started her own business as a young woman in a predominately male industry. She wanted to be a better leader, serve her clients, and create a business that had purpose and meaning. That meant breaking ties with her father’s business and overcoming huge obstacles — from limiting beliefs that she was too young to do this to family and colleagues doubting her and not wanting her to “rock the boat.”

She discovered her inner strength through mediation, journaling, and learning to listen to her higher self, her intuition. It’s a raw, honest, beautiful story about taking aligned action and trusting that following your intuition will always work out best.

Listen in to the full episode:

What you’ll hear:

How Christina found her own voice in a male-dominated industry to become one of the most successful mortgage lenders.

How Christina overcame mindset barriers and created confidence in herself.

A bit about Christina’s “just because” outcome — that she wanted to be a leader with purpose.

Finding peace with hard decisions by being connected to your higher self and higher purpose.

About Christina:

Christina Harmes Hika is a top producer for C2 Reverse, a Division of C2 Financial Corp, the largest mortgage broker in the country. She has 17 years of experience in Real Estate, Mortgage Lending, 8 years specializing in Reverse Mortgage.  She achieved her Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional Designation at only 30 years old.

Getting an early start in her father’s office in high school through college and earning her BS degree in Finance and Economics at San Diego State University, Christina knows her way around real estate and mortgages. She began implementing technology and tools from the forward side and real estate world about 5 years ago when she noticed the need to become more efficient. Tech tools became necessary to coordinate with other loan officers, their clients, the client’s children, lawyers, and financial advisors in various locations with different schedules, she could see they all could potentially block the process if left out of the conversations.

Christina believes there’s some magic in the “face-to-face” or “kitchen table” approach to reverse, she has helped bring that same feel to her work with clients virtually.

If you are inside The Alignment Tribe Facebook community this week, then you had a great experience, oh my gosh! Our Stop Self Sabotage Forever event was amazing. It was so so great.

I chose to do an event based on overcoming self sabotage because I have seen over and over again that this is a common thread with the women I meet. They often want one thing but end up doing something completely different, and this all falls under the umbrella of self sabotage.

So, if you aren’t in the group, let me just give you a little recap of what we did inside there this past week on this episode because you still have the opportunity to go be a part of it! You can join the event (and the group) at the links below.

Listen in to the full episode:

What you’ll hear:

Why Kristine chose to do an event centered on self sabotage

Why self sabotage is structural rather than personal

How to make achieving what you want so much easier

The next steps you can take to become the powerful creator of your life and make the transformational sustainable for your lifetime

I am absolutely thrilled and honored to have our guest with us today. Shayah Muller has been a friend, a business partner, a colleague. She was the very first person to ever come onboard The Alignment Tribe. She came in as a listener to my podcast when it was still called Uplevel Your Life.

We built a friendship on Instagram that turned into me asking her to help me build my business on social media, and she has done that so beautifully. She’s really been an integral part of helping The Alignment Tribe to grow and reach so many more people and through that process and that time, she’s also built a very successful business of her own.

I wanted to bring her on this week to talk about not just the business she has today, but how she got there and her entrepreneurial journey because I think it’s such a beautiful example of how to listen to what your market wants and be willing to solve their problems.

Listen in to the full episode:

What you’ll hear:

Why Shayah left her well-paying full-time job (with benefits) to start her own business.

Why you don’t need credentials or degrees to do something.

How Shayah worked through the mindset shift of raising her prices and recognizing her value.

The importance of listening to the needs of your audience.

Shayah’s advice for stepping into your role as CEO.

Why you need to take time to celebrate wins, even the small ones.

About Shayah:

Before becoming an Online Marketing Strategist for Wellness entrepreneurs, Shayah was running her own health and wellness business as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Yoga Teacher. She was working 1:1 with clients, running online group programs, designed her own recipe books, and hosted yoga retreats abroad.

After becoming successful in building and leveraging her own online platforms to maximize business and location independence, she began to pivot her business to help other wellness entrepreneurs do the same.

Shayah’s experience with website design, digital marketing, and social media management coupled with her in-depth knowledge of the health and wellness industry makes her the perfect missing piece to support you and your business virtually.

Today I want to talk about why you don’t have to believe in yourself to get what you want. This notion or idea that you have to believe in yourself in order to get what you want is I think very well intentioned, but it’s very misguided and it’s keeping people stuck.

It drives me nuts when I see talented, amazing, wonderful people wanting to do something with their life, but holding themselves back from doing it because they think they have to believe in themselves more before they go for it. I see it happen so often that I just had to break this myth and give you the truth, give you the truth of what you actually need to create what you want in your life.

Let’s unpack this so that you can be even more of a powerful creator of your life today.

Listen in to the full episode:

What you’ll hear:

Why it can be harmful to believe the myth that you just have to believe in yourself to get what you want.

How loving yourself is not the same as believing in yourself.

The reminder that the things you want are for YOU and remembering your “just because” outcome.

What you actually need instead of simple belief in yourself.

The importance of taking action rooted in alignment.

How to release resistance to finding your desired outcomes.

When I see people struggling with creating the outcomes they want in life, it’s usually because their focus, attention, and energy are scattered.  If you’re not getting the results you want, feeling burned out, feeling scattered or unsure of what you want or where you’re going, then this episode is a must listen.

When we are unsure of what we want, focused on fixing the past or making sense of our mistakes, if we don’t hold our boundaries and allow others to take our energy, then we end up feeling stuck. The easiest way to start creating momentum towards what we want is to focus our attention and energy in the right direction.

In today’s episode, I’m uncovering how powerful it can be when your focus, attention, and energy align with what you want to create!

Listen in to the full episode:

What you’ll hear:

What not focusing on your energy and attention on the thing that you really want can look like

How creating your focus and channeling your energy and attention in one direction can create a momentous shift for you.

What you can do if you have lost the ability to dream or be imaginative.

The importance of setting an intention each and every day.

Remembering that you are an energy source and this can be used for you instead of against you.

Why making the decision to stop living in your past can be the first step in making a massive shift in your life.
