An aligned life filled with presence, playfulness, freedom and growth expresses itself in many ways. It shows up in our choices (and how we make them), our relationships, our words and how we live.

In short, it’s highlighted in our ability to Be, Play, and Love.

Most people miss the fact that the process of finding one's own alignment is an inner game. It has little to do with what’s happening outside of us, and rarely stems from finding the right routine, ritual, or life hack.

It’s continuously dropping into our heart space, feeling into what’s right, releasing fear, and expanding our capacity for good things. This sounds like a lot of serious work, but it doesn’t have to be! There’s nothing better than when we can weave together deep wisdom and playfulness. That’s where life gets delicious!

How do we find what flow and alignment mean to us? What gets in the way of it?

In this episode, we’re doing something different. Spiritual coach Rabbi Jessica K. Marshall joins us today to ask us some questions! We share what’s most meaningful and joyful to us and how we express it in our lives.

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode

-Weave deep wisdom into play

Is there a way to grow in our purpose without losing our playfulness? How do we find that balance?

-Be willing for things to be easy

Our society is attached to the idea of struggling if something is right. The truth is, when we’re on the right path, there’s less friction. How do we identify when we’re out of alignment and pushing harder than life wants us to?

-From control to curiosity

In most relationships, the intention is to be right and in control. How do we let go of those old patterns and get to the part where we can explore, grow, connect, and play together?
