I am thrilled to announce that after facilitating Living in Alignment podcast for almost two years, I came to the realization that Living in alignment has served its purpose and it's time for it to come to its natural conclusion.
This will be the last year for Living in Alignment. we have completed 54 episodes and will always have here on the platform to share with our community !
The good news is that we will be moving onto a new podcast project.Yay!
The Conscious achiever.
The purpose of the conscious achiever is to disrupt and reframe how we think about achievement and wellbeing in the workplace, invite new models of leadership that promotes work/life harmony, mental health and alignment. Our goal is to activate and motivate to live a more holistic view of a fulfilling career and happier life. The aim is to collect and tell stories from people, businesses, and leaders about how they anchor in self-leadership, happiness, compassion, and positive impact. It is my hope that the podcast will help growth seekers, leaders, business owners, organizations and anxious achievers reframe how they think about achievement and invite them to create conscious cultures in business, life, and the world.
=>I would love to hear if anyone has recommendations of people I should keep on my radar as potentials to interview!
=> Meanwhile, keep an eye on Instagram and LinkedIn for the first episode to drop in September.

“When we are blocking our ability to receive, we’re also blocking connection. We are blocking our ability for people to get close to us. ”— APRIL BOYD
For women, precisely, giving tends to be our default; our wheelhouse. Many of us have no problem giving, whether during holiday time or throughout the year; but when it comes to receiving, it can be a whole other story.
In this week’s episode we discuss with guest expert April Boyd the impact receiving can have, how important it is to be able to receive, even if it is hard, and some tools to switch from an over-giver to an easy receiver. April is a psychotherapist and coach and host of the “Is it Them or Is it Me?” Podcast. She helps women and couples across the globe to show up, speak up, and connect with more courage, confidence & kindness. She believes in boundaries, truth telling, and that you can do everything you want to do, just not all at the same time. When she’s not doing the work she loves, she’s usually lost and searching for coffee and Wi-Fi in some country.
“I think the pendulum have swung too far, where it moved to in order to be a contributor you have to be self sacrificer”— APRIL BOYD

We all have different parts inside of us. This is perfectly normal, not psychotic. There are no bad parts, from exiles to protectors to managers and firefighters. But our relationship with some parts is often better than others, and a wonderful path to healing and growth is to repair our relationship with all of our parts.
In today’s episode we are going to explore the wonderful path of the internal family system with guest expert Jennifer Patterson. Jen will give us a quick introduction to basic internal family system concepts, what it's like to experience different parts of us, and practice IFS for healing and restoring wholeness. Jennifer is an Internal Family Systems Practitioner, a PhD biologist and a co-parent to a lovely, growing teen. She’s committed to helping people both find self-compassion and healing within themselves and to spreading that self-compassion and healing power to others.
“I always like to notice the parallels between IFS and shamanic healing, they talk about part of our souls will orbit around trauma ”— JEN PATTERSON

If you are feeling positive in this moment or wondering how a life coach or positive intelligence educator is challenging the concept of positivity, don't continue listening ....or perhaps you could invite some curiosity
For the rest ; who are trying to toughen up, bottle up your emotions, push aside or ignore your emotions just so you can belong to a culture that prizes for positivity or praised for being strong, then maybe this episode t is worth listening to.
"Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we're holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we'd rather collapse and back away. They're like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we're stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it's with us wherever we are" _Pema Chodron

Do you get the feeling like you’re merely existing instead of really living? Most people think that if the calendaris full of repetitive activities and busy all the time (whether social or career) they are alive. It is hard to say but most people are spiritually dead. I relate to this lifestyle in my old days. This lack of lust for life may stem from living on autopilot—living out of alignment-making unconscious,mindless, automatic decisions that don’t align with how you really want to work and live. Living out of alignment looks like you are not conscious about your desires and dreams, just following others, what society and culture think you should desire or want, wanting something because you have been conditioned to want it, wanting something because others have it, wanting something because you feel inadequate and not enough.
In this episode on Living in Alignment Podcast, I give you some guidelines to help you identify your unconscious habits and introduce you to **6 habits that can help you anchor in conscious living.
"*To me , Conscious living goes down to self respect. It is about staying aware and connected to what I need and what would serve and support me daily"*

“Because I over-exert myself, I need to fuel myself with food to keep the nervous system in constant relief. Food becomes the tranquilizer, the energizer and the companion.”
*“Overeaters are obsessed with food and confuse it with love, they are terrified of losing their Abusive lover.”
“It’s not the outer appearance in service of the persona of the accomplished woman, It’s really going into this dark alley and seeing this hungry exiled animal that is us and meeting it. ”*

We always try to eliminate certain foods under the guise of “I’m being healthy” “I have to take care of my body”, and not realizing the impact it could have …increase in obsessive & compulsive thoughts, anxiety, inflammation, binge eating, emotional eating and even eating disorders.
While Eliminating food groups may work for a bit, for some of us our primal instinct to nourish our body with all food groups takes over, causing us to overeat the food group or foods we have been avoiding. What is more sustainable than eliminating foods/food groups is becoming a competent eater.
