Every month, Christina Slaback joins me for a conversation exploring behind the scenes of podcast and personal development, intuition, and whatever wisdom wants to come through in that moment.

But this month looked a little different — our schedules simply didn't align for us to record together live. So rather than skip it, we each recorded our own reflections separately, and I've put them together for you here.

There's something fitting about that shift, honestly.

This year has brought a different kind of energy — challenging, transformational, and full of invitations to slow down.

Growth isn't only forward expansion and momentum. Sometimes it requires a pause: a chance to reflect, integrate, and align — or re-align, or pivot — before moving forward again.

This month's format change is a small embodiment of that very lesson.

This Month's Question

What is one belief you had early on that you no longer believe?

I couldn't stop at just one, so here are the three shifts that have reshaped how I move through the world:

1. From "things happen to me" to "things happen for me." I used to feel like circumstances simply landed on me, out of my control. Shifting to "for me" changed everything — challenges became invitations, setbacks became redirections, and everything started to feel meaningful instead of random.

2. From "alignment requires action and control" to "alignment requires presence and allowing." I once believed alignment was something you achieved through effort and grip. Now I know it's found through presence — showing up, being me, and allowing what wants to unfold rather than forcing an outcome.

3. From "I am always alone" to "I am never alone." Underneath everything, I used to believe that at the end of the day, it was just me, figuring it all out solo. Now I know that spirit guides, angels, and loved ones who've crossed over are always supporting me, whether I feel it in the moment or not.

I share these not so you adopt them exactly as I have, but so you feel permission to ask the same question of yourself: what have you quietly outgrown?

In the full episode, you'll also hear Christina's own reflections on this month's question — recorded separately, but very much in conversation with mine.

Even apart, we found alignment.
