Transcript

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast, quick episode today to acknowledge a pivot that's happened in the podcast and how it is a little bit outta alignment.

So, so far the podcast has either been. Very esoteric. You know, I talked about human design, I talked about astrology. I've talked about numerology. I've talked about life metaphors of shedding, and it's been definitely pretty heady and theoretical. I tried to always have examples that bring it down to earth.

And it was a lot of technical, spiritual concepts. It was about big collective shifts and energy. It was a lot of teaching and explaining about spiritual frameworks.

And as you can see from where the podcast is gonna be going, it's a lot more about professional reinvention, transitions, business growth during uncertainty, personal transformation, and professional transformation. Real experiences of navigating change and a lot more practical stuff. Because I'm a five one heretic, there will always be commentary that's a little bit pushing the envelope around society and this and that, but it'll it'll be less of a spiritual metaphysical teaching podcast and more about navigating all of the things including mindset.

2025 is a lot about fundamental collective and personal reinvention.

You know, I always kind of assume that the people listening are the people who have been listening the whole time. But if you were just to drop into an episode and read the description and you'd be like, what? I'm confused and I don't blame you. So. I guess this is a demonstration of messy middle, I don't like theoretical transformation stuff.

I wanna see the messy middle , it demonstrates you adjust in real time. You are always finding alignment. Sometimes you're doing stuff publicly, sometimes you're doing things behind the scene. This is a public podcast, so I have no choice but to acknowledge and present some of the messy middle. And I just wanna always be transparent and authentic with you, with everything I do.

Not asking permission. That's not what authenticity is. It's just about being transparent. So a deep dive into human design and astrology, they're the valuable tools. They're not the box. They're tools in the toolbox. And so while it's not. Exactly aligned with the messy middle of professional reinvention and transformation.

They're not the main focus, not the main thing that I do, and they're definitely not gonna be the main thing I do moving forward, but they are part of the process. And like I said, season two, whenever that is, we'll shift to stories.

And the spiritual e and energetic tools will be woven in when relevant, but they're not gonna be the central focus.

That's all this is. I kind of just wanna acknowledge that because the rest of season one is a series of episodes that are all gonna sound kind of like what I've already been talking about. There's all, there's a method to the madness, but in case the method to the madness isn't obvious, I just wanted to call it out if I don't really need to do that.

Laying important groundwork about the massive shifts that are coming as we move into 2025 as we move into the age of Aquarius, because those shifts change the way that we operate in the world, in the professional world, and in the business world. So looking at human design, looking at astrology, looking at ancient wisdom, not just as spiritual concepts, but its frameworks to really understand transformation.

That's what a lot of the next few episodes are about, inclusive of numerology, inclusive of all this stuff. And when we complete that foundation, it really will help you understand a lot of why all of this is significant for whatever is to come. There are a lot of podcasts in the podcasting space that are kind of focused around this notion of the pivot, midlife pivot, personal reinvention.

They are obviously more conventional than I am. My podcast would never be that because I'm not conventional, so I don't really know how this is gonna unfold, but I can't say that there'll be a little bit more down to earth than what I've done. The entire premise of this podcast is what happens when we stop forcing and we start listening.

Listening to our body, listening to our intuition, listening to the divine signs, listening to life, but also listening to macro shifts, right? That's what mundane astrology is. Let's. Read the room, let's read the collective room. So I'm doing this deliberately. Everything I do is deliberate whether or not it's apparent or not, whether or not it's apparent even to me, sometimes the deliberateness is, comes from spirit and it has a macro plan that already mapped all this out, and I'm just following along.

It's a deliberate foundation about what's shifting in the real world. And then moving into the practical reality of navigating those shifts as a human, that's what we're gonna start to weave into . But you can't really understand where you're going if you don't understand the macro forces at play.

And if you are somebody who's conventional and you're just listening to these pivot podcasts, these personal reinvention podcasts, these blah blah blah podcasts, you're not interested in the macro forces because you don't believe in it. You think it's woo, I hate that word, and I rarely use the H word because it's so disrespectful and it's so stupid.

Like, why are we calling energy Woo in 2025? Like, I, I hear smart people saying that, and I'm like, oh my God, why? So whatever you don't believe in that. You don't believe that there are larger forces at play. You're very linear. Linear. You're very practical in the way you approach. You're very pre 2027, which will make sense when I talk about human design, and that's cool.

Then you're probably not the audience for me, right? A lot of is about authenticity. It's about magnetic marketing. Forget marketing, magnetic attraction, and whatever the opposite of magnetic repelling is, whatever. If there's a word for magnetic repelling that whatever that is, that's what it is. So this is just maybe to help you understand the bigger progression, show how it all comes together, make me feel a little bit less uncomfortable about the next couple of episodes because I feel like I'm giving you a bait and switch and that makes me feel like I don't wanna be that person about what happened with this full moon cycle is a lot of this kind of popped.

But this was a very powerful full moon that had a lot to do with a culmination of energies, not just related to me, but related to collective forces.

And also the entire moon cycle of the age of Aquarius has to do with the future. Aquarius is a sign that represents the future. It's a seed planting for the future. So that's a lot of what this was, even though I kind of seed planted the future and then I'm coming back. So that's all to share.

I'll get into why I'm even bringing human design into this conversation because the way I use human design with clients as branding and strategy, and that's not what this podcast is about.

So why am I talking about it on this podcast? I'll tell you why. And why? It's not just another system to follow, but it's a lens for understanding authentic differentiation in the world. , We're gonna talk about the messy middle, the evolution of business, which includes branding by the way, and examining the tension between traditional marketing, new frequency based principles, and just some other insights about what's coming in 2025.

And then I'll probably wrap up with a episode or two. And the final is gonna be a culmination full circle that will talk about how this podcast started in the first place. And you're not gonna wanna miss that because it really. Ties back to the, hello It's me episode.

I already recorded. It's very, very fascinating how this all can come full circle, but yet it's a spiral. Like you're, you came back to where you were, but you see it from a higher perspective. I. And I trust that in a year I'll see it from a higher perspective and I trust in another year I'll see it from higher perspective.

We can spiral down too that happens in life, but let's hope this goes in the other direction. And that's it. I thank you for listening to the podcast.

And obviously, if you follow me on social media, I'm the aligned Alchemist everywhere right now. YouTube threads, Instagram. When I know more, you'll know more and you'll know and I'll make sure people who I'll make sure that it's obvious, like where you can find me and where I'm doing and all that stuff.

This is a process of allowing the unfolding. This is a process of supporting the bigger story. This is a process of navigating uncertainty. This is a process of. Dealing with the messy middle. And this is a process of what happens when you stop forcing and you start listening. And so I hope that this podcast as it goes, is a case study in that

you are your own guide and you have. The wisdom within you in a world that is designed to sell you a solution from somebody else. And we all need support from people. So that's not what this is about. But when you create from vision versus frustration you create something that is truly transformational and you create something that is long lasting when you create from something that feels like chaos.

It leads to more chaos. So as we're navigating 2025, the questions to be asking are, are you creating something that's new that you wanna be, that includes yourself? Or are you just escaping something else? Is it reaction to something? Or is it a true something that you want to create in the world? And the last one would be, are you aligned?

And that is a very played out word in the business space. If you guys were around long enough to hear my whole rant and when I changed the name of the podcast for the aligned CEO to awaken your inner magic, part of it is that I feel like the word aligned is really, really played out in business and alignment in human design.

Is beyond the aligned with your values, blah, blah, blah. It's aligned with your body graph. It's aligned with the way your energy moves. It's aligned with your actual unique superpowers that you have that I don't have, and vice versa. And if you add in astrology in the way that I do it, is it aligned with your soul path?

And is it aligned with your. Let's say, I guess you'd call them superpowers. There are different kind of superpowers in your astrological chart. I use the word branding 'cause that's how I use it. I'm sure you could use it in your strengths, right? Your, your core strengths. Is it aligned with that? And that's a big part of what navigating 2025 and 2026 will be about.

As we head into 2027. And thanks for listening to the podcast and thanks for being on the journey with me. See you on the next one.
