Reclaiming Alignment: Six Weeks of Purpose, Growth, and Abundance

I recently returned from a six-week solo trip to my home in the Dominican Republic. This wasn’t a vacation. It was a deliberate and powerful decision to invest in myself, to step away from distractions, and focus on the deep work that would deepen my alignment with my purpose.

This trip was not about doing more, although I did, do more—it was about diving inward. I spent my days coaching clients remotely, finishing up courses I have been working on,meditating, journaling, walking the beach, chasing Sunsets, sun and moon rises, eating local foods. I also went deep on cultivating awareness, raising my consciousness, and finishing the first draft of my book (yes, it’s finally done—what a moment!). I even started exploring sound healing, using my voice as a tool for growth and transformation.

Aside from a wonderful week spent with my youngest daughter (a rare and beautiful chance for us to have some quality time), I spent these six weeks largely alone at my home. It was the longest solo trip I’ve ever taken, and the solitude allowed me to reconnect with myself and dive deep into what truly matters.

Trusting the Process—and Myself

Making this trip happen wasn’t easy. The thought of six weeks away triggered guilt—my mind raced with everything I should be doing, especially for everyone else but myself. On top of that, my bank account doesn’t yet look like it did two and a half years ago when my real estate business came crashing down. But that’s by design.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been intentionally rebuilding my business in a way that’s 100% aligned with my vision, putting nearly every dollar back into it while cultivating better financial habits to ensure sustainability this time around. I’ve also been embracing a more minimalist lifestyle, letting go of what no longer serves me. To create a financial cushion for this trip, I sold some jewelry. More importantly, I took aligned action with the time I’d be away, focusing on what I would be creating for my future.

This kind of action and alignment supports the visionary and entrepreneurial spirit—taking 100% responsibility for your vision while releasing the fear and scarcity around money and time. It’s about trusting yourself, your decisions, and the process, even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.

This trip became the greatest investment I’ve ever made in myself—mentally, spiritually, and financially. It required a level of trust in myself that I haven’t always had, but the results are already rippling out into my life in ways the world hasn’t seen yet.

I’ve learned that abundance is about knowing you already have everything you need and trusting that more is always on its way even when life is challenging or throws curveballs. When you live in alignment with your purpose and vision, abundance flows. 

The Power of Non-Judgment

One of the most transformative practices I leaned into during this time was non-judgment. I worked hard on letting go of judgment—a deep seeded habit I have, judging the people I love, myself, our circumstances, and of all the labels I place on situations.

We’re so quick to categorize things as good or bad, right or wrong—whether it’s life’s challenges, or  the choices and actions of the people we care about. What I discovered during these six weeks is how often I judge the circumstances and decisions of those I love, trying to control or fix things for them. 

This instinct to manage everything for everyone comes  from love, but it also comes from fear—a lack of trust in their journey or the universe’s plan for them.I am now free from this entanglement that ultimately had me stuck in a loop of  a twisted sort of people pleasing for most of my life.

Stepping into non-judgment allows you to  surrender. Non-judgment reminds us that when we trust ourselves and stay aligned with who we are and what we’re here to do, the universe and or god are in control and life always has a way of working itself out. 

This practice opened a deeper space for me to connect with peace, faith, and alignment. It’s no longer about controlling outcomes or forcing solutions—it’s about trusting the process, knowing that every experience, even the perceived bad ones, has meaning, and staying committed to living my truth. These lessons  will stay with me long after my retreat.

What This Work Means for Me—and My Clients

This six-week journey was part of my journey of being the kind of coach and leader who invests deeply in herself so she can serve others at the highest level. I’ve always believed that if I’m asking my clients to step into their next level, I have to be willing to do the same work.

From raising my consciousness to finishing my book to diving deep into my own practices, this time has strengthened me as a guide and mentor. I’m walking into 2025 with more clarity, purpose, and alignment than ever before—and I can’t wait to help my clients do the same.

Looking Ahead: Big Things Are Coming

As I move into 2025, I’m beyond excited for what’s next. This time of deep work has sparked new ideas, clarity, and energy that I can’t wait to bring into the new year. I’ll be launching something truly transformational—an offering designed to help you step into your next level of soulful prosperity—and unveiling some exciting changes that reflect the evolution of my work and purpose.

Stay tuned, because big things are on the horizon. I can’t wait to share them with you!

Final Reflections

I am so grateful for this gift of deep work, transformation, and alignment. It was a reminder that stepping away from the noise, trusting yourself, and investing in your growth is one of the most powerful things you can do.

Abundance isn’t about having all the answers or perfect circumstances—it’s about trusting that you’re already enough and that everything is unfolding as it should.

As I step into this next season, I’m carrying this trust, this gratitude, and this sense of alignment with me. And I’m so grateful for the opportunity to walk this journey alongside the incredible clients I serve.

Here’s to growth, trust, and the power of investing in yourself.

With love, light, and prosperity,
