Finding alignment and the ability to return to yourself again and again supports resiliency as you navigate the waves of life. Alignment isn’t a fixed state we achieve once and then maintain effortlessly—it’s something we come back to again and again. It’s especially important during times of transition, uncertainty, or change. When things feel off, it’s not a sign of failure, but often a signal to pause and check in. This practice of reconnecting to yourself helps you make choices that reflect who you are and what you value. Whether you’re facing a major life shift or engaging the small, repeated decisions of daily life, cultivating a relationship with yourself through the practice of alignment helps make clarity feel more accessible and easeful.

 

In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I invited Kim Romain to join me in a conversation about cultivating a practice that supports finding alignment and the ability to return to yourself again and again.

 

Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:

  • How to tell the difference between belonging and fitting in
  • What alignment really feels like—and why it's not about perfection
  • Understanding supportive resilience (as opposed to the societally weaponized)
  • Reclaiming your power to choose, even in hard moments

 

Through this episode, you’ll learn how to work with alignment as a living practice—one that supports clarity, resilience, and choice through both major transitions and everyday moments.
