What is "Alignment"?

Welcome back to the Soulful Sessions Podcast! It's been a little while since a new episode has been released and we thank you for your patience if you have been eagerly waiting.


In this episode Desirée discusses what it means to be in "alignment". This is a hot topic within the personal development and spiritual community and it is one that can be easily misconstrued to the idea of feeling good 100% of the time.

In this episode, you will discover what alignment isn't, what it is and how to frame the concept of alignment in a way that is supportive of creating true fulfilment. Be sure to stay tuned until the end where Desirée walks you through a mini guided exercise to support you in gaining clarity on your version of aligned living.

Lessons From 2021

Tune into this final episode of 2021 to connect with some of Desirée's biggest lessons learned this year. In this solo episode she discusses the importance of perseverance, vision, embodiment and intention setting. She shares with you how to fight for your goals even when all odds are against you. As well as some of her personal experiences this year that helped her learn tough lessons. 

"Who you are behind closed doors is just as important as who you are in front of others. I grew up hearing the phrase “fake it til you make it” and while that is true in some ways, the way you become the person you want to be is by tapping into that version of yourself when it would be easier not to, when others aren’t looking and when you don’t yet feel like her."

You will be sure to feel inspired listening to this short and sweet episode to end off the year!
