And you know, we're doing the 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.539 Alignment Reset series this month and we had 00:00:12.539 --> 00:00:18.699 David on last week and next week, this Monday, 00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:23.899 or actually this week, right? And then next week, 00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:27.100 Monday, we're gonna have Courtney McDermott on, 00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.129 all right? And so I got two people in this studio 00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:36.990 that can see a chat here. All right. All right, 00:00:37.009 --> 00:00:40.689 perfect. So we're good to go, y 'all. And I just 00:00:40.689 --> 00:00:44.490 want to say thank you for being here. And so 00:00:44.490 --> 00:00:47.229 we do this live, and then we record it, and then 00:00:47.229 --> 00:00:53.750 we put it up on all the RSS feed to show on all 00:00:53.750 --> 00:01:01.289 of the podcast forms. platforms. So you get to 00:01:01.289 --> 00:01:05.170 watch or listen to this after this live show. 00:01:05.689 --> 00:01:09.230 And once again, we're starting to market this 00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:12.049 day, Friday Night Lives, because we want a lot 00:01:12.049 --> 00:01:18.150 of audience here so that we can engage in what 00:01:18.150 --> 00:01:21.709 it takes to live successfully as a human being. 00:01:22.250 --> 00:01:24.010 There's a lot of things that we're facing with 00:01:24.010 --> 00:01:30.159 today. be it politics, be it personal life, be 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.480 it all of that, right? And so this is a community 00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.280 in which you get to ask questions, experience 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.519 things, and right now I'm doing the alignment 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:41.840 reset for the next two weeks, and then we're 00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:43.620 gonna have guests, and then I'm still gonna come 00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.500 up and do solos and all that kind of good stuff, 00:01:45.579 --> 00:01:50.799 okay? So you can come here and be a part of the 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.599 live studio. You could be on Facebook, you could 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.299 be on YouTube, and then we send links out to 00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:00.859 be on Riverside so that I can see you right here 00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:04.540 in the chat, and we could ask questions, answer 00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:07.939 questions, and some of the people that will be 00:02:07.939 --> 00:02:11.979 in the community will actually talk to you and 00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:17.080 actually bring you up to be on an actual video, 00:02:17.379 --> 00:02:21.240 all right? So. Let me just make sure everything 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:25.020 is good. So, yeah, man, you know, this is an 00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:27.659 interesting time for us, you know, as human beings 00:02:27.659 --> 00:02:31.240 and we're as we're moving into 2026. This is 00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:35.939 the second going on the third week of 2026. And 00:02:35.939 --> 00:02:41.139 we've been talking about the alignment reset, 00:02:42.340 --> 00:02:46.199 the alignment reset. And it's a great topic, 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.919 you know, so. What I really want to talk to you 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:57.099 about Tonight is The space that most people they 00:02:57.099 --> 00:02:59.400 really don't talk about right and it's not because 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:03.780 that space is rare rare but because It's uncomfortable. 00:03:04.300 --> 00:03:07.960 All right, it's the space You end up when the 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.300 version of you that you use that used to work 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:14.060 no longer fits but the next version of you really 00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:17.740 hasn't fully taken shape shape yet and You know 00:03:17.789 --> 00:03:22.569 I have a client that I coached, and we're actually 00:03:22.569 --> 00:03:25.870 maneuvering through that space right now. And 00:03:25.870 --> 00:03:29.330 if you're in that space, what usually gets triggered 00:03:29.330 --> 00:03:32.789 in that space first is not wisdom, which we talked 00:03:32.789 --> 00:03:35.469 about today. It's kind of a panic, right? Because 00:03:35.469 --> 00:03:39.909 we're taught directly and indirectly that we're 00:03:39.909 --> 00:03:43.680 supposed to always know who we are. And that 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:46.460 identity is something is supposed to be solid, 00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:51.439 stable, and definable. So when that solidity 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:55.000 starts to loosen, I would assert that the mind 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.659 immediately goes to work trying to fix the filling. 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.659 And it starts to asking questions that sounds 00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:05.680 reasonable, but I would say that it's actually 00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.680 rooted in fear. And the questions would be like, 00:04:08.740 --> 00:04:12.280 who am I now in this space? where I know where 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.400 I'm going, where I think I know where I'm going, 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.220 but what behind me, it feels comfortable, right? 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.100 So it's like, who am I now? Why don't I feel 00:04:22.100 --> 00:04:28.639 like myself? Why can't I get back to how things 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.699 were or how things used to be or how comfortable 00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:35.720 I used to be? And the thing those questions all 00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:37.959 have in common is the assumption that you're 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:43.350 supposed to go back. But what if what's actually 00:04:43.350 --> 00:04:49.029 happening is simpler and more honest than that? 00:04:49.149 --> 00:04:54.370 What if an identity expired, not dramatically, 00:04:54.889 --> 00:04:58.329 not all at once, but quietly? So what I'm asking 00:04:58.329 --> 00:05:01.189 or saying is the way you use to organize yourself, 00:05:01.350 --> 00:05:04.689 stop working overtime without consciously deciding 00:05:04.689 --> 00:05:08.490 it. So most people, I would assert, don't notice 00:05:08.490 --> 00:05:10.689 identity change while it's happening. Like when 00:05:10.689 --> 00:05:13.910 you're in the middle of it all, you don't notice 00:05:13.910 --> 00:05:18.310 the change. So the strategies that used to carry 00:05:18.310 --> 00:05:22.009 you don't have that same energy anymore. There's 00:05:22.009 --> 00:05:24.569 a difference that you're experiencing, right? 00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:28.350 The motivations that once drove you don't move 00:05:28.350 --> 00:05:31.569 you anymore the same way. The way that you used 00:05:31.569 --> 00:05:34.689 to show up starts to feel heavy. It's forced. 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.759 you know like you're wearing uh something that 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.620 like truly no longer fits right so naturally 00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:46.060 naturally people reach for familiarity they try 00:05:46.060 --> 00:05:48.600 to rebuild the older version of themselves because 00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:53.839 it's you know it's known people feel familiar 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:59.839 right so here's here's the jewel okay familiar 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:04.079 doesn't mean that you're aligned All right, so 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.379 you're not aligned with the familiarity of things. 00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:10.779 It's just what's What you're used to it's what's 00:06:10.779 --> 00:06:15.220 practiced and This is where I think where people 00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:16.939 will continue operating from what's familiar 00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:19.579 because it provides stability not because it's 00:06:19.579 --> 00:06:23.800 true They try to decide who they are before they're 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:27.000 they've allowed who they were to fully release 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.180 and They try to skip the in -between but the 00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:35.620 in -between It is an empty space. It's not a 00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:38.139 void. I would say that's like, it's incubation, 00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:43.480 right? It's a space or a working space. And here's 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:48.279 what I'll say. Like I'm somewhat in an incubation 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:53.560 space. I'm getting to grow who I am in this space. 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.420 And it's where, you know, something real starts 00:06:57.420 --> 00:07:01.000 to organize itself into the person and the places 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.649 where I'm going. So I've been living in that 00:07:04.649 --> 00:07:09.310 space for quite some time and you know Here's 00:07:09.310 --> 00:07:11.310 the amazing thing. There's there's a space of 00:07:11.310 --> 00:07:14.949 creativity that happens there as well If you 00:07:14.949 --> 00:07:18.129 just sometimes if you just let it be you're not 00:07:18.129 --> 00:07:21.769 trying to force an outcome That's a it's a beautiful 00:07:21.769 --> 00:07:25.310 space to be in Okay, so when you're aligned to 00:07:25.310 --> 00:07:27.389 the purchase future self that you're becoming 00:07:27.389 --> 00:07:36.399 You're not forcing anything So, right now, I'm 00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:39.579 building a media company called Fei Wei Media 00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:42.740 under the Orients Group. And that's where, you 00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:46.100 know, where moments where I wanted to find, there 00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:47.540 were moments where I wanted to find it early, 00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:50.439 but let me explain what Fei Wei means, the word 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.660 Fei Wei. Fei is the middle of my mother's name, 00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:56.399 right? So the funny thing is I called it El Michael 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.899 Productions, so vain, right? It was very vain, 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.019 but it didn't give me a heart to move things 00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:06.379 forward. And so I just changed the name. I changed 00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:09.199 it to Fei Wei. And Fei Wei is the middle of my 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.180 mother's name. My mother's no longer on this 00:08:12.180 --> 00:08:17.079 plane. But once I did that, it was like something 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:25.319 aligned. And in the realignment of the alignment, 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:30.220 I was trying to define it. And it's still really 00:08:30.220 --> 00:08:36.139 defining, defining itself. So as much as I can 00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:38.139 explain it, it's just what I just showed you. 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.940 And I don't have to lock it down right now before 00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:45.279 it's actually becoming what it is. And it's becoming 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:52.460 something that's beyond my idea. And so I love 00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:57.240 that the space of the in -between, it's up and 00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.799 down, left and right. It gets crazy. but there's 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:05.399 a space of creativity, right? And when you try 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:10.559 to force an outcome, there's something, you know, 00:09:10.659 --> 00:09:13.519 it feels off and you get to experience that in 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:17.980 that space, okay? And when you're trying to force 00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:19.980 something, like I said, it feels off and it's 00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:23.539 not because, you know, you know, I don't really 00:09:23.539 --> 00:09:29.370 know what I'm doing or, you know, It was just, 00:09:29.389 --> 00:09:34.009 I was trying to force a certainty. But what changed 00:09:34.009 --> 00:09:39.149 for me was the slowing down. Like I said, slowing 00:09:39.149 --> 00:09:42.450 down in that space. And slowing down enough to 00:09:42.450 --> 00:09:45.850 let my system settle and actually identify with 00:09:45.850 --> 00:09:49.049 the person I'm becoming. Not the one who needs 00:09:49.049 --> 00:09:52.830 to control or control the outcome. And when I 00:09:52.830 --> 00:09:56.950 did that, as I'm doing that really, things started 00:09:56.950 --> 00:10:00.169 showing up. A possible partnership is showing 00:10:00.169 --> 00:10:04.850 up. A possible funding is showing up. And there 00:10:04.850 --> 00:10:09.269 is work to do in all of that. But I don't have 00:10:09.269 --> 00:10:12.970 to grind. I don't have to grind. I don't have 00:10:12.970 --> 00:10:18.350 to force outcomes anymore. I just do what I'm 00:10:18.350 --> 00:10:22.289 really aligned with and meant to do. Do what 00:10:22.289 --> 00:10:26.919 I need to do in the work of it all. get out of 00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:30.159 the way and let the universe, God, spirit, whatever 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.340 you call it, do the rest, okay? And when I'm 00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:37.759 aligned like that, like I said, partnerships 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:40.919 show up, conversations open up, opportunities 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.820 come to surface that I couldn't have planned 00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:47.879 or controlled or tried to control. And these 00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.779 doors are opening that I didn't even know existed. 00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:56.409 And it's not because I stopped working. But because 00:10:56.409 --> 00:11:00.009 I stopped interfering and that's the difference 00:11:00.009 --> 00:11:03.570 In the universe, you know, I would just say doesn't 00:11:03.570 --> 00:11:06.950 respond to force it responds to coherence and 00:11:06.950 --> 00:11:09.669 so when I stopped trying to make something happen 00:11:09.669 --> 00:11:13.970 and focused on Staying aligned with what was 00:11:13.970 --> 00:11:17.490 organizing. It was like the larger picture could 00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:20.070 finally move forward right and I'm still practicing 00:11:20.070 --> 00:11:23.090 this All right, I'm still practicing this. And 00:11:23.090 --> 00:11:26.710 this is what I would love to have community here. 00:11:27.110 --> 00:11:29.649 So we can have these kind of questions, see what's 00:11:29.649 --> 00:11:32.230 showing up for you, see what kind of questions 00:11:32.230 --> 00:11:38.210 you have, and see where you're in the space where 00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:43.509 identity is showing itself to you from the past 00:11:43.509 --> 00:11:47.049 or the one that you're becoming. And so I would 00:11:47.049 --> 00:11:50.090 assert that the old identity In this space when 00:11:50.090 --> 00:11:52.110 I as I'm trying to create something, you know, 00:11:52.110 --> 00:11:54.429 it wants to push it wants to control it wants 00:11:54.429 --> 00:11:57.990 to force Force results so it can feel secure 00:11:57.990 --> 00:12:02.950 because that is the comfort spot right The identity 00:12:02.950 --> 00:12:05.889 that's emerging though doesn't operate that way 00:12:05.889 --> 00:12:08.629 It still takes action, but it doesn't try to 00:12:08.629 --> 00:12:12.269 dominate the process and just do a check -in 00:12:12.269 --> 00:12:15.870 with yourself Okay, is that identity that you're 00:12:15.870 --> 00:12:21.399 living into? really making space for you while 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.320 you're still comfortable with the past identity. 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.919 Alright, that's the in between that I'm talking 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.840 about. You're still moving. You're still working 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:34.740 and creating. You're still but you know, you're 00:12:34.740 --> 00:12:36.720 just no longer, you know, trying to overpower 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:42.879 the overpower the moment and in that space. Sometimes 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.480 you feel like it's passive, but it's not passive 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:51.309 being passive. Alright, it's the alignment with 00:12:51.309 --> 00:12:54.730 responsibility. I would say and this is why demanding 00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:58.389 certainty from yourself in this season the season 00:12:58.389 --> 00:13:05.429 that's like in the in the in between It's a season 00:13:05.429 --> 00:13:07.629 that you may feel like yourself it's like you 00:13:07.629 --> 00:13:09.850 feel like you're thrown off But that's just a 00:13:09.850 --> 00:13:12.730 reemerging of the future identity coming forward. 00:13:13.669 --> 00:13:18.190 So certainty belongs to the old identity It already 00:13:18.190 --> 00:13:20.450 knows how to operate. It already has language. 00:13:20.549 --> 00:13:24.450 It already has habits. But the identity that's 00:13:24.450 --> 00:13:26.929 forming doesn't have that yet. So when you're 00:13:26.929 --> 00:13:29.809 trying to force clarity too early, you default 00:13:29.809 --> 00:13:33.690 back to what's practice instead of allowing what's 00:13:33.690 --> 00:13:37.490 true to organize and bring you forward to the 00:13:37.490 --> 00:13:40.570 future, the future reality that you're creating 00:13:40.570 --> 00:13:44.929 for yourself. And I have to watch myself here 00:13:44.929 --> 00:13:48.840 because you know, not rushing fey way media into 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.419 a definition just because people feel like I 00:13:52.419 --> 00:13:54.600 need to have a definition or it should be done 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.059 by now or not rushing my own identity just because 00:13:59.059 --> 00:14:02.059 the old label doesn't apply cleanly anymore, 00:14:02.059 --> 00:14:07.340 right? That pause, it isn't confusion. The pause 00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:10.759 that I'm in that I keep finding myself in is 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.940 a discipline, right? And it's the same discipline 00:14:15.210 --> 00:14:22.450 that I'm inviting you into, really. In that discipline, 00:14:22.570 --> 00:14:26.990 it's just like, so the old identity is just really 00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:30.629 a force of habits that you've practiced over 00:14:30.629 --> 00:14:34.370 and over again. And the new identity doesn't 00:14:34.370 --> 00:14:37.970 have those habits yet. And so it's a discipline 00:14:37.970 --> 00:14:41.450 to begin to create the future that you're living 00:14:41.450 --> 00:14:46.190 into, all right? So. That's the in between All 00:14:46.190 --> 00:14:48.970 right, and I really want it out man. I wish people 00:14:48.970 --> 00:14:52.230 were here So I'm inviting you come on. Let's 00:14:52.230 --> 00:14:53.950 have this conversation. Okay, so let me just 00:14:53.950 --> 00:15:00.009 kind of land this cleanly The discipline I'm 00:15:00.009 --> 00:15:05.809 inviting you to right It the discipline I'm inviting 00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:11.750 you to in between now and next Friday It isn't 00:15:11.750 --> 00:15:16.330 about doing more It's about interfering less. 00:15:16.389 --> 00:15:19.750 It's about paying attention to where you're trying 00:15:19.750 --> 00:15:23.750 to force outcomes, rush clarity, or explain yourself 00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:29.830 before something actually settled. So this week, 00:15:30.710 --> 00:15:34.509 I invite you to notice where you're still operating 00:15:34.509 --> 00:15:38.710 from what's practiced instead of what's aligned. 00:15:39.710 --> 00:15:42.409 And I'm right along with you. I'm going through 00:15:42.409 --> 00:15:47.220 the same thing. because something bigger is being 00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:50.039 formed, and the old identity cannot move forward 00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:53.960 into the future that I'm living into. So notice 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:58.679 where you're trying to control timing instead 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.039 of staying coherent with what's forming. That's 00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:04.740 awareness all along by itself, and the awareness 00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:10.240 is the work. That's the work. So I invite you 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.669 to do that. I encourage you to do that because 00:16:14.669 --> 00:16:18.230 like I continue to say over and over again, we 00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:22.490 don't want to recreate a 2024 or 2025. There's 00:16:22.490 --> 00:16:25.850 purpose for us to live and there's a purpose 00:16:25.850 --> 00:16:30.629 that we can live into. And so forcing something, 00:16:31.450 --> 00:16:34.149 when you're trying to force something, there's 00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:37.429 a resistance there that occurs and that's just 00:16:37.429 --> 00:16:40.129 not where we want to live. We don't want to live 00:16:40.129 --> 00:16:42.679 in the resistance. All right, be non -resistant 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:46.080 to the greatness of you that is that is for me. 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.600 OK, so let's see. We went about 18 minutes, which 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:55.200 is cool, man. This is cool. So I'm trying to 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.919 see if I want to say more, but but I think I'm 00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.320 OK. So look, I want you to be connected. And 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.259 if you want to stay connected with what we're 00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:05.759 building here, there are two ways to do that. 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:10.819 Right. So first is through the newsletter. And 00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:12.920 that's where you'll get updates on, you know, 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.400 upcoming episodes when we're going live and how 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:18.400 to stay connected with, you know, with the work 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.720 as it unfolds. Again, you know, we're kind of 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.119 really in the beginning stages of this of the 00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:27.099 new stage of the podcast. And that's how you 00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:29.380 stay connected. So if you want the links, the 00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:31.940 schedule and to stay in the loop, that's where 00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:36.259 to go. So I actually I'll share the link here 00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:45.000 now so that you can. Let's see what we got here 00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:57.940 so that you can Go and be So you can go so go 00:17:57.940 --> 00:18:01.099 to that website Thriveworldjourney .com you can 00:18:01.099 --> 00:18:03.680 sign up for the newsletter And you can stay in 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.819 touch with you know what we're doing what we 00:18:05.819 --> 00:18:09.319 got going on All right, and the second way is 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.720 the studio you know that's a separate experience 00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:17.960 okay and if you want to join us live in the studio 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.559 ask questions be part of the real -time conversation 00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:24.940 uh you can sign up and we can send you i think 00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:27.519 we'll probably be seeing this studio link directly 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:31.279 through the newsletter um that's a way into the 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.099 studio uh through the newsletter all right uh 00:18:34.099 --> 00:18:36.740 because we can we can communicate you know the 00:18:36.740 --> 00:18:38.559 access of all that kind of stuff and the timing 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:44.779 all right Um, so the other part is let me see 00:18:44.779 --> 00:18:51.200 here. Do I have the link here? All right. All 00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:55.859 right. All right. Show it to you one more time. 00:18:57.380 --> 00:19:03.380 There we go. And so that is the link. All right. 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.779 And if this conversation, if it resonated, with 00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:09.819 you and you want to, you know, something to work 00:19:09.819 --> 00:19:12.880 with in between sessions, I want to invite you 00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:16.400 to spend time with the Empowered Path. There's 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.680 a book, Empowered Shift, and then there's a workbook, 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:21.680 The Empowered Path. And it's not a shortcut, 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.339 you know, it's not a fix for what we're talking 00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:27.539 about here. It's truly a companion. Empowered 00:19:27.539 --> 00:19:30.680 Path is a companion to the Empowered Shift book. 00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:34.420 It's a way to give structure to what we're talking 00:19:34.420 --> 00:19:36.220 about, which is the in -between. So you can stay 00:19:36.220 --> 00:19:39.160 oriented while things are organizing themselves, 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.980 while the unknown is organizing itself. So the 00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:47.980 first chapter is available for you and is there 00:19:47.980 --> 00:19:51.500 to support the work. And like I said, it's not 00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:54.200 a rush process, right? It's not like I read this 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.240 and I get like everything answered overnight. 00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:03.470 So let me share that link there. Oh, let's see. 00:20:03.470 --> 00:20:06.069 Give me that. There we go. Show that link right 00:20:06.069 --> 00:20:09.710 there. There it goes. It's a bitly link. It's 00:20:09.710 --> 00:20:12.309 not a fake link. It's a bitly link. You won't 00:20:12.309 --> 00:20:15.509 get spammed or anything like that. So that is 00:20:15.509 --> 00:20:20.029 the first chapter. All right. And get that workbook. 00:20:20.390 --> 00:20:21.950 Get the first chapter. Read through it if you 00:20:21.950 --> 00:20:25.470 want more. There's a link at the end where you 00:20:25.470 --> 00:20:28.349 can get the rest of the book there. OK. So on 00:20:28.349 --> 00:20:34.769 Mondays. the podcast at 7am this Monday coming 00:20:34.769 --> 00:20:38.410 up is going to be an amazing conversation with 00:20:38.410 --> 00:20:41.130 Courtney McDermott. That conversation really 00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:44.130 goes directly into what it looks like to lead 00:20:44.130 --> 00:20:47.329 and create from alignment when the old ways no 00:20:47.329 --> 00:20:50.049 longer work. It's a strong continuation of what 00:20:50.049 --> 00:20:52.309 we're doing right here, especially if you're 00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:56.089 sensing the pull to evolve but haven't had the 00:20:56.089 --> 00:21:00.019 language that it requires. Check out the podcast 00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:05.119 on Monday morning 7 a .m. So between now next 00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:10.180 Friday Don't try like don't try to resolve anything, 00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:13.720 you know, just don't resolve right just don't 00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:18.339 rush to define, you know, what's happening to 00:21:18.339 --> 00:21:24.160 you in the in the middle space and Just realize 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:27.119 that something new is for me Don't try to get 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:30.539 ahead of the process like we talked about discipline 00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:36.140 stay discipline and Awareness stay aware right 00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:40.480 stay aligned with what's true? Instead of what 00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.920 you feel is familiar. That's a big thing like 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:49.480 we We fall back into familiar familiarity right 00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:54.769 and we then look at the word or the The psycho 00:21:54.769 --> 00:21:58.170 and we use the word Stuck and I hate that word 00:21:58.170 --> 00:22:01.289 because humans don't get stuck. We don't We don't 00:22:01.289 --> 00:22:04.230 get stuck a truck get stuck, right? But we don't 00:22:04.230 --> 00:22:07.349 get stuck. We just live on we live in old familiar 00:22:07.349 --> 00:22:10.869 patterns, right? Like I said, listen, i'm going 00:22:10.869 --> 00:22:12.450 through this too, right? I'm going through this 00:22:12.450 --> 00:22:17.369 with you with you and you know It's a it's just 00:22:17.369 --> 00:22:20.309 a human condition and nothing's wrong right? 00:22:20.609 --> 00:22:25.289 It's all okay so Just stay aligned stay aligned 00:22:25.289 --> 00:22:27.529 with what's true to you instead of you know, 00:22:27.529 --> 00:22:31.470 a thing that's familiar to you. Okay, and We're 00:22:31.470 --> 00:22:34.450 all at our own level alone that our own levels 00:22:34.450 --> 00:22:37.690 of understanding All right live in the trust 00:22:37.690 --> 00:22:40.970 that the universe is working for you God is working 00:22:40.970 --> 00:22:45.109 for you. All right, and just realize that your 00:22:45.109 --> 00:22:50.690 life is It's happening and it can happen in the 00:22:50.690 --> 00:22:54.559 way that that you're aligned with, either the 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:56.579 one that you're becoming or the old one that 00:22:56.579 --> 00:23:00.339 you're living. Okay, so we'll be back next Friday. 00:23:00.420 --> 00:23:03.680 Continue the conversation. We have two more episodes 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.359 of the alignment series.
