How has it been 3 years since the pause? | Ep. 83

You can message Melissa directly here! I paused Purely Aligned back in September of 2023, and I thought it would be a short pause and never would have guessed 3 years would have gone by. This episode is a raw and unedited behind the scenes look of what really happened over the past 3 years, what this podcast will look like moving forward, and reminding myself to let it be simple and easy. I’m grateful to be back (even in a limited capacity) and I appreciate you being here and coming along for the ride. -Melissa 

You can message Melissa directly here! Do you know the last time you truly checked in with yourself? Questioned why you're doing things in your business and the way you're doing them?What about taking a break?I realized it's time for me to give myself permission to pause, step back, and re-evaluate, and truly embrace the season I'm in right now because we are not meant to be machines and be on 24/7, and that is definitely not my definition of success or freedom.People say "consistency is key" but is pushing through just to be consistent worth it when you're feeling burnt out and misaligned? This episode shares more about why I'm pausing, stepping back to release pressure and how important it is to give ourselves a strategic pause to refocus and recharge.I also want to let everything I've already created breathe and work for me. It's so easy to get caught up in go mode and producing all of the time that we aren't realizing how much has already been put out in the world, and I think it's time to normalize that it's most likely already more than enough.In today's episode, we dive into the concept of allowing yourself to take a break, step back, and reevaluate what's working and what's not so you can re-align and live a fulfilled and balanced life.I also talk about prioritizing self-care,  breaking the cycle of constant activity and tying our worth into our productivity and achievements.I'm giving you permission to pause, and I'm not sure how long my pause will be, but there are now 82 amazing episodes for you to enjoy and go back and listen to!It would also mean so much to me to reach out on social (IG @melissamachat) and let me know how Purely Aligned has helped or made a difference for you.-MelissaConnect with Melissa: Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissamachat/The Take Action Toolkit is HERE!

In today’s episode, I talk with Natalie Ryan Hebert about how to stop denying your soul’s purpose or calling and take charge of your life.So many people believe that in order to change our lives, it must be done consciously that way we are aware of it. But truly, to manifest a different life, we must change our belief systems at a subconscious level to make it stick.Natalie shares how to stop playing small if you’re being called for more. Becoming aware of what is holding us back - whether it’s fear of judgement, fear of being seen, fear of success, or another common fear of many - and start living life for yourself.We also discuss how to make a move without knowing the answer first, having trust in yourself, and connecting with your intuition and deeper knowing. Do you know if you’re listening to your body? Natalie’s body was showing her signs of sickness and stress that she was not paying attention to and she shares how to started listening and receiving answers. Natalie poses the dilemma of what is the cost of our life vs. what we’re being paid for it, coming across upper limits, shedding old skin, going to the root cause, and navigating cognitive dissonance.Connect with Natalie:  Here is the free gift Journey to Your Wiser Self: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/625ebbcc96808aece7b0ed48Insta: @natalieryanhebert Facebook.com/natalieryanhebertAnd for those interested in learning more about my online program The Red Tent: www.natalieryanhebert.com/the-red-tent And to work with me 1:1 www.natalieryanhebert.comConnect with Melissa:  Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissamachat/ Sneak Peak....

In today’s episode, I talk with Charlene Gisele, a Burnout Advisor, about how to notice if you’re experiencing burnout, how to take care of it and how to prevent it from happening again or ever.Charlene shares her story about going from being a high-paced lawyer to a Burnout Advisor by having no sense of boundaries, saying no to self care, experiencing chronic anxiety, stress, and insomnia, and watching her dad go through a close to death moment due to burnout.Do you feel your body is sending you signals, but you aren’t listening because you don’t have the time? Charlene tells us that the signals get louder if we’re not listening, urges us to not wait for a life or death moment to slow down, and explains why alignment is so important when navigating these experiences.We go through the six pillars of noticing burnout, which pillars you may be neglecting, where you can start in slowing down, and how to look out for excuses you may be making that are holding you back. The language you use is so powerful!Charlene asks you to take a look at what mask is behind the mask of “busy-ness.” Is it a bad relationship you don’t want to deal with? An obligation to your health that you’re not paying attention to? Or maybe avoiding the feeling of “not being good enough?”She gives tips on how to approach your work proactively and preventatively, realigning your values, and how to stay consistent with your new way of being. Connect with Charlene:   Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlene_gisele Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlenegisele/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachcharlenegisele/Connect with Melissa:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissamachat/ Sneak Peak....

Book a vacation....” Ever heard  that before? It seems as if any time we go to book a vacation or fun time for ourselves, business starts rolling in. And this is because we’re already in the headspace of having fun, relaxing, vacation mode, and so we let go of the attachment of more business, our goals, making money or whatever it is that we’re always focused on. In today’s episode, I share my experience of releasing attachment from the outcome, letting go of the pressure that comes with attachment and how I’ve stopped caring (for the most part)  any sort of timeline to “success”.As I’ve mentioned in previous episodes, when you put more weight on momentum over results, you will have the energy and mindset to keep going. Because, after all, being successful is a byproduct of doing something you love. And if your shorter timeline doesn’t match up with a longer timeline, loving the process is what makes it all worth it.I also touch on how to know if you’re trying to do everything yourself, pointing out opportunities to go inward, releasing the goal and more!If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it on your social media and tag me!Connect with Melissa:  Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissamachat/What's the next step to grow your business?

In today's fast-paced world, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, leaving little time for self-care and personal well-being, and most of us are actually running on empty whether we realize it or not.In this episode, I delve into the importance of rest, recharge, and recovery and discuss practical strategies I've done to make time for myself and create a more supportive lifestyle.It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind, but waiting until we are completely drained, empty, or burnt out before recharging is counterproductive. I share my experiences of regular self-renewal and finding moments to recharge before reaching a breaking point.Living a supportive lifestyle requires aligning our schedules with our well-being. I discuss the importance of identifying a sustainable pace that allows us to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.Instead of obsessing over "finding" more time, take back the time you already have. I share creative ways to regain time, such as hiring someone to help with tasks, trading skills or services with others, and reconsidering priorities.Join us in this transformative episode of Purely Aligned, as we delve into the essential aspects of rest, recovery, and reclaiming our time.
