Living in alignment isn’t always comfortable. It means saying no when it’s easier to say yes, speaking the truth when silence would be safer, and holding to your values when expectations pull the other way. In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, we talk honestly about the tension of alignment—why it’s hard, why it matters, and how even small acts of living in line with your values can change everything. You’ll hear examples from work, health, and relationships, plus practical tools and mantras to help you stay grounded when pressure rises. By the end, you’ll see that alignment isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. And every small choice to choose what’s real over what’s easy moves you closer to the life you actually want.
