Date Yourself Instead - Babe, the breakthrough is COMING for you - the delay is PREPARING you.

Episode Date: April 13, 2025

The breakthrough happens when we're about to throw in the towel and give up on our manifestations and our dreams. It's easy to feel discourage when things feel stagnant and slow, but God is simply preparing you for the biggest blessings. IT'S ALL IN HIS DIVINE TIMING.

Before you receive the thing you asked for, if you asked God for a specific thing, a specific relationship, a specific career, a new path, a new start, you're often given its opposite. Sometimes we're faced with the biggest challenges before the biggest breakthroughs. And this isn't to be seen as punishment, but as preparation. You are being divinely prepared for the next level of your life. I've spoken about this before in my episode How to Break the Cycles on the podcast. I posted it a little while back. That episode was one of the most downloaded episodes we've ever had on the podcast. I talk a lot about how sometimes the universe will test us and break us down and really give us all of these trials and challenges before we make the final level. before we get to the final round, before we have the breakthrough,

before the grand finale where I receive what I'm asking for, I receive abundance, I receive the blessing, and what I've wanted to manifest for so long, I'll be put through the ultimate test. There will be a season of silence where nothing seems to be happening. There will be challenges coming my way that I didn't expect. There will be roadblocks and detours and people will drop out of my life. There's isolation moments where I feel like I'm back.

battling all of these things on my own. I have to go in full fucking warrior mode in order to get to the next level. Life is a game. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Life is a game. And once you master it, once you know how to take over the game and hack the game, it becomes easier to deal with life's challenges. I'm creating this episode today because if you're currently trying to manifest a better life for yourself, a better future. If you want abundance, wealth, a new relationship, and you're feeling stuck, you're feeling struggle. If you want to manifest better health, weight loss, any type of new timeline for yourself, there may be a period of stagnation, of stillness. That's okay because that is the preparation period before the breakthrough,

before the miracle. Before you get what you truly want and desire, God is going to put you through the final round and the final test to make sure that you are fully prepared and divinely ready for what you have asked for. The last few months of 2025 from January to April have been quite interesting for me. I have been tested with my patience, my career, my goals, what I'm trying to achieve for the podcast for Date Yourself instead. I'm in the midst of building a mission, a global movement. It's something that brings me joy. I love doing what I do. I'm so grateful. I'm divinely blessed that I get to wake up and go to a studio and speak on a podcast. It's the ultimate dream for me. However, it has definitely come with its challenges. It has come with so many tests

spiritually, mentally, emotionally, even physically. There have been days where I've struggled to carry on because things weren't going according to plan. In the beginning, I'm sure you've heard this story before if you're an avid listener of date yourself instead, I was trying to sign to a podcast network. This was a dream of mine. This is something that I wanted to be sponsored by a network such as Spotify or IHeart, one of those big networks. I was speaking to a bunch of them.

I was working, blood, sweat, and tears in the studio recording, editing everything myself, putting in the hours, putting in the work, marketing everything myself, building my social media out. There is so much work that goes behind the scenes of building a podcast, of scaling it, of making it a successful one. It was such a dream of mine and such a passion of mine, and I put everything I had into building it. Now, when it came time to the meetings, to getting in front of networks, to having those conversations around money and work and building the brand to the next level, nothing felt

aligned. Nothing felt right. It felt like no one understood the vision or appreciated my value or saw the direction I wanted to take the podcast in. It was like every conversation I had was a roadblock and I felt like I was going in circles having the same talks with so many different people, so many executives, so many people at these different companies that didn't understand the long-term vision. They were in it for the money, make some sort of sale, me. I don't know what it was, but they were in it for the money and I could read through that energy. Everything is a business. This is an industry where everyone wants to make money. And that's understandable. I knew what I was getting myself into prior to going into this industry. However, I pride myself on

authenticity and integrity and my values. If something doesn't feel fully aligned or it doesn't resonate fully with my vision, I can't go through with it. It doesn't matter what check or contract is placed in front of me. If it doesn't feel authentic to my brand, if it feels like something's off, I always trust my gut. There were just so many moments while I was building outdate yourself instead where I felt so stuck. The last few months have felt similar where I'm kind of back at square one, assessing everything, I'm revaluing the brand and I'm in conversations with companies once again about scaling, about branding myself a certain way. And it hasn't been easy. There's a lot of slow progress being made. And although it is progress and I see everything as a

blessing in disguise and I know this is a test of the ultimate patience, it has felt very stagnant for me. The last few months have really been a test to my patients, but also a very valuable reminder that everything truly is happening for you and not working against you and everything is happening in divine timing to protect you to favor you to guide you in the right direction even when things feel slow stuck stagnant even when things feel really difficult there is always a reason behind the timing of everything divine timing when it comes to work when it comes to love when it comes to everything in life that is something we are often don't think about enough because when we're in the moment, we can get frustrated.

We can ask ourselves, what's going on? Why isn't this happening for me? Why can't I manifest this? Why is it not my turn yet? We can go in that direction and beat ourselves up over the timing of things and why things aren't playing out the way that we want them to. Or we can choose to fully trust and surrender to it and understand that everything is happening for us and not working against us. So tying it back to the beginning of this episode before you receive the thing you asked for, you're often given its opposite as preparation. That is a common experience. I was in Bali for the first few months of this year. It felt strange because the podcast wasn't charting anymore. It wasn't expanding the way that it was at a rapid pace and things felt

very stuck and slow. It made me a little discouraged because suddenly I felt like no one was listening and everything I had put into the podcast, everything I had done for it. There were so many things happening at the same time with my health, with my mental health, and with my work that I suddenly felt like I was being pressed up against the wall again. And I've gone through moments like this before so I know how to handle them. But this time was different because instead of getting discouraged and upset. I decided to look inwards and tell myself, this is all happening for me.

This is my time to rest, recharge, appreciate the current moment, and relax, because maybe in six months from now, things will look very different. Maybe in six months from now, I'll be so busy and life will be so abundant and so expansive and moving so fast that this is my time to rest and appreciate the moment

and really ground myself in the process. present. This is my time to just work on myself, work on my mental health, work on not needing external validation to make me feel a certain way. Use the opportunity that you have when things feel slow, when things feel stuck, or they're not aligning in your favor. Use those moments to work on yourself in a different way. Refram it. Reframe the moments that are difficult and say, you know what, maybe this is a blessing so I could look more inwards at my life. So I can appreciate slowing down for a second. Because in a few months from now, in a year from now, maybe life will be so drastically

different that I'll never get this time back. Maybe I would have wished I had capitalized on those slow moments, on the moments where nothing was happening, on the moments where it felt like God wasn't listening to me. I was having a conversation with one of my friends about relationships and getting married. We all talk about wanting our soulmate and the love of our life. But at the same time, now that I really understand this concept of appreciating the present moment because you can never get that moment back, I'm learning how to embrace being single more than ever. I'm learning how to appreciate my alone time and know that this time with myself,

where I love myself and I have my own company and I can really work on my character and work on my dreams and my goals. In a year from now, I may be married to the love of my life, but it's nice to appreciate being single. There was an interview I watched of Dua Lipa not too long ago, and something she said really, really stuck out to me. It was this concept of really feeling blessed and feeling grateful that you get this alone time. In the meantime, while you are single and while you don't have your partner, it's being able to really love your own company and anchoring yourself in your own energy and just loving where you're at right now and really, really appreciating it and getting to know

you on such a profound level. So when you do meet your husband, you know that you fulfilled that single chapter. You know that you did everything you could in your period of being alone. in your period of not having a partner, and you lived it to the fullest. You had fun with it. Being single should be exciting. It should be celebrated. It should be a period of time where you really just bask in your own divine, loving goddess energy. So when eventually you do meet your person, which you will in divine timing, and I know that you will, you're going to come from a place of knowing that you lived out your best single life and now you're with someone and you could appreciate

that as well. But stop rushing it. Stop trying to jump into a new timeline if you haven't fulfilled the current timeline yet. If you haven't lived out your current timeline yet to the best of your ability, why are you trying to race and jump into the next chapter of your life so quickly? Learning how to ground and be present and appreciate where you're currently at is a superpower. It's a divine blessing and superpower to really, really embrace the current moment and your current status in life. Once I got comfortable with that over the last few months, I let go of control and surrendered everything. I surrendered the concept of pushing and forcing and working so hard and stressing over things I couldn't control with my work, with my life, with my health. I just surrendered it.

And I gave it to God in the universe and I said, you know what? This is a period of my life where I'm being called to relax and rest and not beat myself up and just chill. There's a time and place for everything. There's seasons of life where things are going to be moving, things are going to be abundant, things are going to flow. And there's going to be other periods of time where things don't feel that way. And that's the human experience. It ebbs and flows. That's how we grow.

That's how we evolve. that's how we learn. I used the last four months from January to April to gather more information about myself and who I am. I embraced it. Instead of trying to force work on myself and to push myself into a corner where I was more unhappy and stressed, I completely surrendered. And I gave it to God and I said, you know what? This is a period of reflection for me. I know that blessings are coming.

I know that miracles are coming for you. I know that abundance is coming for you. If you're currently going through a season of life where you're feeling discouraged and lost and you're feeling like nothing is working or clicking right now, I promise your time is coming. Your time will come. Embrace the present moment now knowing that you're never going to get that time back. So you might as well live it to the best of your ability. Appreciate the slowness.

Appreciate the moments where you're forced to grow and reflect because in a year from now, your life could look so different. Your life will look so different. Sometimes we're given the opposite of what we originally asked for because God wants to know, can you hold the vibration of faith when your reality looks like the opposite? Can you maintain your faith and your trust in him when your 3D reality looks the opposite? Can you trust him fully and wholeheartedly? Can you open your mind to the possibility?

that this is just a season of waiting and the next season will be filled with miracles and abundance and blessings. Will you embody the energy of trust and faith when you feel isolated, when you feel in doubt, when things aren't going according to plan, will you still hold the frequency of faith and divine trust? Can you believe in abundance when your bank account looks like lack? Can you believe in money miracles and flow and abundance in your life when you're struggling financially? That's the key to mastering your reality, to hacking the universe, to hacking the video game of your life. It's about having unwavering faith in the hard moments, in the challenges, in the trials that we're faced with. Can you trust God? Can you hold the frequency of faith? Ask yourself that. Because once you,

Once you master that and you see beyond the physical and you know that blessings are coming your way, they will come your way in your divine timing. Every single test is asking you, will you become the version of yourself who is truly ready to receive what you've been asking for? Are you fully prepared to hold the energy of what you've been asking for? If you're asking for a financial miracle, can you hold the frequency of that financial miracle? The reason why you hear these stories of people winning the lottery, hundreds of millions of dollars, and then they go broke because they don't know how to handle the frequency of that type of money, that's a very common thing. We hear about these people who win the lottery and then all of a sudden, five years later, they're broke.

And you're like, how did that happen? How did they spend all that money? It's because they weren't able to hold the frequency of that amount of money because they weren't prepared for it. You have to be able to prepare yourself for the blessings that you want. for the miracles that you want to receive, God is going to prep you before you receive them. And sometimes that means going through periods of trials, isolation, loneliness, feeling discouraged, feeling like your backs up against the wall.

That's the name of the game. And once you pass those tests, get ready because your life is going to be so incredible. Your life is going to be everything you prayed for once you fully know how to hold the frequency of faith. This applies to relationships. Before you get love, before you meet the person of your dreams, you might experience a deep loneliness. You might go through isolation. And this could last for a significant period of time. I have people who message me from the podcast account on Instagram saying, I've been single for five years, six years.

When is my time? I'm frustrated. I want to give up. I've been doing all the work. I've been healing myself. And nothing's happening. That void is there to teach. you about yourself. I truly believe this with all of my heart. I truly, truly, truly believe that

the longer you wait, the bigger the blessing. The longer you have had to hold out, the bigger the blessing, the bigger the miracle, the bigger and better the relationship. When you finally meet your person, it will be a thousand times more than you've ever even expected or prayed for. when you're experiencing a period of loneliness and you're feeling hopeless and dating feels impossible and you feel like you're never going to find the one reframe it my person is on their way and it's up to me to hold that frequency of faith my soulmate is currently building themselves and working on themselves and prepping to become the greatest version of themselves as i'm doing the work healing bettering myself and showing up every day with faith i know my person is out there doing the work and holding the

frequency of faith. When we finally meet, it's going to be a thousand times, a hundred thousand times more than both of us had ever even prayed for. Loneliness is not a punishment. It's an invitation to love yourself so deeply that you're not reaching for temporary distractions or external validation. When I got to London, I was in Bali, London, you know me and jump around. I landed in London and my initial instinct was to think of the past because I've dated people here. I know people here from my past. But I haven't talked to or seen those people since my healing journey started a year ago. When I really put my foot down and said never again, I'm not tolerating shitty behavior from anyone ever again. And I'm doing me. I'm fully focusing on myself and

truly giving myself to my healing journey. I haven't associated with my past since I began my kundalini work. For those of you have listened to my How to have an Energy glow up episode, you know what I'm referring to. I've been doing deep trauma work and I haven't entertained anyone. I haven't dated anyone. I haven't spoken to anyone because I chose to really center my energy into myself. I really wanted to give myself the time. proper time to heal and love myself to the point where I just knew that the next person I'm with is going to be my husband, the love of my life. It got to a point where it started getting really isolating and lonely. It got lonely because in the moments where I was coming home every

night, it was silent, it was quiet in my house, I was going to bed, I started to think about the memories I had with my past and my exes and cuddling and spending time with someone and laughing with someone and hugging someone and feeling loved. It's a normal thing to want that, to want to be loved, right? I love deeply and when I'm in a relationship, it did make me happy in a lot of ways, even though those relationships, none of them worked out. There were a lot of good moments too. When I got to London, I started thinking about those experiences again with the people that I've dated here. I've dated several people here that I've had those experiences with. There was a moment where I was like, should I message one of them? Should I message this person?

Should I hang out with this person? Should I go back to the past because I'm not seeing anyone right now? It's a fresh start. I'm back here. I'm back in a city that I love. I said to myself, this is an initiation process. I've changed. I've grown. I've healed. I've healed. I've evolved. I've transformed. I've put in so much work to heal and change myself and set myself up for the right person. And now is the time to really honor that. Honor my boundaries, honor my worth, know how precious and valuable my energy and my time is. There's no time to look back anymore. At this point in my life, if I'm looking for the real thing, if I'm looking for the love of my life, I can't go backwards because, My energy is precious. My energy and time are very valuable commodities. I know my husband is on his way. I know that it's going to happen very soon.

But I also know the period before that can come with loneliness. And instead of fearing that, instead of being afraid of that and letting it consume me, I'm choosing to embrace it. Embrace the present moment. Embrace where I'm at. Embrace the time that I'm never going to get back. it's bittersweet because there is a part of me that loves my alone time that loves my own company that loves taking myself out to eat and doing my own thing and not having anyone to text

I love that I love being in my cocoon of my own energy it can be a beautiful divine thing and sometimes it's nice to really know myself at a deep level where I'm not depending on anyone to feel a certain way it's a beautiful thing so instead of fearing the loneliness, fearing being alone, fearing being on this journey by myself, I'm learning to put that energy into creation and to loving myself, committing to myself, anchoring in my own energy, and putting that sad energy in those moments where I wish I had someone into divine creation. What do I mean by divine creation? Instead of putting my energy towards pain, I'm alchemizing that energy into purpose, into meaning,

into art, into something that brings me joy. For example, the podcast, instead of dwelling on thoughts of negativity and doubt and anxiety and fear, I'm alchemizing that energy and redirecting it into the podcast, making new episodes, creating new content, making new TikTok videos, making new Instagram posts. What I do for work is my outlet for creativity. Your outlet for creativity may be something completely different. it may be painting dancing it may be singing it may be going for walks it may be going to the gym whatever it is for you alchemize the energy alchemize your pain into purpose put your energy into

passion projects honor yourself love yourself put that energy into something productive that makes you feel good that makes you more inspired to keep moving and keep pushing forward i know for me another passion project that i'm going to be working on in my period of being single is music. I gave up music years ago and I had a little bit of an incident where I was put off by the music industry and it kind of steered me away from that for a while. But for my own sake of being happy and being in my own creative flow, I'm going to start doing music again. And that's going to be something that I focus on more. What can you be doing in your spare time? that you're waiting for their text, anxious over a relationship, clinging onto the past,

replaying past memories with your ex. Instead of doing all of that, where could you be refocusing your energy to appreciate the current moment that you have for yourself? Don't waste it on the people that don't love you or care about you. Don't waste it on the people that can't see your worth. Don't waste your precious energy and your thoughts. Don't give these people your mental space. anymore. Put your energy and your thoughts into a passion project, into something that makes you feel good, that makes you feel better about you. This also applies to finances. Before you get abundance, before you get a raise, before you get promoted at work, you might feel extreme lack in your life. lack makes you redefine what abundance actually means to you.

I'll give you an example. I'm in a season of my life where I've been trying to manifest certain goals financially. And I've thought about it a lot and I know where I want to be and I know the targets and I know the mission and I know what I'm trying to accomplish. A couple of days ago, I had my expensive Cartier ring stolen. okay it vanished out of my jewelry box i'm not going to get into the full details but let's just say it was very suspicious the ring was stolen i know it was stolen i don't know the details about who stole it but i had an idea and the energy was just off i was feeling really weird about it i have never had something like this happened to me before i've never been stolen from

especially something expensive like that. It was a really weird new experience for me, and it felt gross. To have something stolen from you that means something to you, that's sentimental to you, that has significant value to you, you know, I bought that ring for myself as a gift to celebrate my success of the podcast, and it meant something to me. So to have that taken away and also having an idea that someone took it was a weird, unsettling feeling. But instead of getting upset and worked up over it, I actually meditated on it and I approached it and reframed it in a totally different way. I took this experience as a test from God to see if I would react from fear or hold the frequency of what I actually desired.

When something is taken from you, that means you're going to get tenfold what was taken from you. And it's coming your way. For example, if that ring is taken from me, that means I'm going to have so much abundance coming in in the future as long as I hold the frequency, regardless of what's taken from me, I will be repaid back for that. I took it as a divine test from God. It was a test to see if I would react from fear and freaking out or if I would hold the frequency of true wealth and abundance because I was trying to manifest something so much bigger than a cardiac ring, right? then this ring was stolen for me. If I had already had what I wanted to manifest, this amount of abundance that I was trying to create for myself,

would I be upset about this ring being stolen? No, I wouldn't. It is unfortunate, right? It's a weird situation. But would I be upset over it? No, because it's not about the money. It was just about the sentiment. I took it as a divine test to see if I could hold

my frequency and just let it go and let it pass and understand that everything happens for a reason. Whether you understand the reason or not, whether you know why it disappeared or not, why it was stolen from me or not, I just had to let it go and make peace with it and accept it because there was nothing I could do about it. I had to surrender to it. Even though it stung in the moment and I was a little disappointed in the moment, I had to sit back, detach and observe and say, you know what? this is the ultimate test to see how I'm going to react in the moment, but I'm at peace with this. If someone wanted to do that to me, if someone wanted to steal for me and they needed that money or whatever it was that they needed, if they were at that much of a loss, they needed

that money and they needed to steal, let it be. God will always reward you with 10 times, 50 times, 100 times more than what you lost. if you're a good person with a good heart and a soul and you've been through some bad breaks and you've had things taken from you trust that you will be repaid tenfold for what you lost if you react with fear you're going to delay your biggest blessings but if you stay anchored in your worth you're knowing your future you collapse time you're not being tested because you're being punished you're being tested because you're about to experience the biggest breakthroughs of your time.

That's what this is about. These are little tests. And when you hold the frequency of abundance, of love, of trust, of faith in God and the universe, you will be rewarded for that. Don't let the physical reality fool you. Don't let the 3D version that's happening in your reality right now fool you from your future. Don't talk yourself out of your blessings and your miracles because the current state of

your reality isn't what you want it to be right now. Nothing is permanent. Everything is temporary, including the current moment that you're in. If you're feeling hopeless, if you're feeling stuck, this is your reminder right now. Nothing is permanent. Anything can change at any time. One of my favorite quotes that I live by is that anything can change at any time. God can work miracles overnight. Anything can change at any time. I was just getting my hair done. I was just getting my hair at one of my favorite salons in London. This woman that does my hair, she's an angel. I love her.

She's just a beautiful soul and she's much older than I am. She's been married already. She's had children already. And we were talking about dating and relationships. She told me a story this morning about a woman who was single for many years and she came into the salon and she told the woman, I'm ready to get married now. This woman disappeared for six months and came back a full. blown wife. She came back with a husband. She was married in six months time. Anything can shift and

change at any moment as long as you hold the faith in the frequency. The woman who was doing my hair said, when you want, you get. When you want, you get. If you put what you want out into the universe and you hold that faith and you hold that frequency and you're truly ready for it and God knows you're ready for it, you will inevitably receive what you asked for. So this woman, single for many years, was married in six months. It happened literally overnight. Another example that I saw recently was a woman I follow. The stunning woman had been single four months ago.

I hadn't checked on her social media in a while. I didn't see her stories or whatever. And then I tap on her story the other day and she's full. out engaged. She went from single to engaged in four months. She messaged me saying, when you know, you know, it just happens so fast. It happens so quickly. This is what I'm talking about. Anything can change at any time. So that is a mantra that gets me through the hardest moments, the moments that feel stagnant, the moments that feel slow. When you know that anything can change at any time, your world opens up. Life becomes more magic because you realize that it's all

in the energy. It's all in the shifting of your brain. It's all in the shifting of your thoughts. It's all in the shifting of your faith. Just because things aren't the way you want them right now doesn't mean that's always going to be the case. It doesn't mean this is your destiny forever. Anything can change in the blink of an eye. Your future is still waiting for you. That's how I've always lived my life. When I was in Bali, I was talking to some of my friends at dinner about this concept of quantum jumping. And leaping into your desired reality and being able to manifest by truly using the power of your energy and shifting your thoughts. They were like, you know, it's so crazy to me how you built this huge brand, this podcast and everything you've been working on. It's only been two and a half years.

And I was really reflecting and I'm like, oh my gosh, it really only has been two and a half years. It feels like way longer, but it all happened so fast when I decided that that's what I wanted. when I decided that there was no other choice. I put myself in the mentality of I do a podcast full time. I teach women about self-love. I teach women about self-worth. And this is my full-time career. And I embodied the identity of it.

And I kept going and I had faith, even when I had no listeners, even when I had zero dollars in my bank account, even when I was broke, depressed, I had to move back home with my parents. Even in the trials and the tests and everything I went through, even when I got rejected, by networks or they told me I wasn't worth the money I knew I was worth. I kept going. I held the vision. I held the faith. I knew that eventually it would all pay off. And now it's paying off. Now I'm coming into a period and a season of my life where I know blessings are coming my way. Abundance is coming my way. And yes, there have been ups and downs. There have been moments where

I wanted to give up, where I felt discouraged, where things were slow, things weren't working, things weren't manifesting the way that I wanted them to. But the key is to hold the frequency. of faith, keep going, keep aligning yourself with the higher vision when things aren't going according to plan or you feel like you're at a low, it's up to you to perceive it as a slingshot that's only going to propel you that much further when you get to the end goal. As I said, the longer you have to wait for something, the longer things feel stuck or stagnant, the bigger, the blessing in the long run. Keep telling yourself that. The other thing I want to mention is the power of your word. And this is something that I'll reiterate on a lot of episodes moving forward.

I want to change your future and your way of thinking. If you currently are trying to build out your dream life, to change your life, to change your reality, the power of your word is everything. What you're speaking to yourself, telling yourself, narrating to yourself on a daily basis is everything. The more you hold your faith and the more you speak positivity and the more you speak about abundance and you don't speak from lack or fear or anxiety or sadness the more you tell yourself everything is working out for me everything is in my favor everything is working in my best interest god has my back god is my provider i'm abundant i'm prosperous i'm surrounded by amazing people i have amazing friendships i'm manifesting the love of my life when you keep telling yourself that

eventually it becomes true this is a foolproof way to manifest your dream life hold the power of your words understand that your words have power they hold frequency they hold energy when you understand that keep resetting anytime you start to speak negativity or you start to spiral reframe it reset it pause reflect meditate take deep breath reset reframe stop yourself whenever you go down a rabbit hole speaking negative things stop yourself pause reframe reset it will get you so much further in life when you reframe from negative to positive, watch how your reality shifts, watch how it changes, watch how the world opens up for you. It's the most beautiful thing to see how much my reality has shifted when I started taking control of the words that I spoke, taking control of my faith,

praying more, surrendering more, letting go more, trusting more. It's just a beautiful thing. The last thing I want to mention is being in true alignment. alignment with your calling, with your destiny, with your future. Alignment is the new hustle. Being in alignment means you're aligning yourself with your soul's mission and you're not working from ego and you're not pushing or forcing or stressing or chasing things and you're not desperately trying to force things to happen all the time. Being in alignment is easy and effortless.

It's when you're truly in the flow of life and you're manifesting from a place of ease. You're in your energy where you feel so good about what you're trying to build, trying to accomplish. Being in alignment is the biggest miracle because that is how you hustle in the 4D. Forget the 3D narrative of, oh, you have to push, you have to grind, you have to force. No, that's not what this is about. Being in alignment causes things to flow, causes things to work out, causes the puzzle pieces to fit together.

You don't have to burn yourself out trying to make things happen all. the time. When you're truly vibrating high and you surrender and you trust, that's when things start to work out. That's when things start to flow for you. The right people and experiences will always find you when you're living in alignment and you're living out your divine truth. When you're truly in your own energy and you're trusting and you're in the flow of life, miracles will start to happen all around you. The more you push, the more you force, the more you chase, the more you post a thousand stories to try to get someone's attention, the more you stock their page, that's not going to get you anywhere. That's going to create resistance, blockages. You're going to

feel stuck. You're going to feel more frustrated. When you live from alignment, you become magnetic. People will start to come to you. The right circumstances of people experiences and opportunities will flow to you. And that's how you're supposed to live. That's how it's supposed to feel. It's supposed to feel easy, effortless, in flow. That's what living in a living in a lot. That's what living in a lot. alignment truly is. In the midst of a hard time, in the midst of stagnation, when you feel like giving up, just remember the more you shift your energy inwards and trust and meditate on things and you surrender to God, to the universe, and know that everything is working for your highest good and in your highest favor. That's where the magic happens. That concludes today's episode of
