Have you ever felt like life is getting noisier and noisier, but inside you crave stillness?

In this powerful solo episode, I share a practice that has been a lifeline for me during times of transition—a simple yet profound way to realign with your core values and step into greater flow.

We are living through what I call a collective recalibration. Old ways of pushing, forcing, and hustling no longer work. What’s being asked of us now is alignment. And alignment isn’t noisy. It’s not frantic. It’s deeply rooted in truth.

I’ll walk you through three potent questions that can bring instant clarity and calm, even if your inner Mean Girl tries to hijack the process. And I’ll share the mantra I use to anchor myself when doubt, fear, or resistance shows up.

Whether you’re seeking clarity in your relationships, career, health, or simply within yourself, this episode will guide you back to what matters most.

In this episode we chat about:

• What the collective recalibration really means and how it affects us all (0:41)
• Why alignment is quiet, not noisy (2:42)
• The role your core values play in creating peace and ease (3:46)
• The 3 questions that will help you find alignment today (4:20)
• What to do when your inner Mean Girl interrupts the process (8:05)
• A powerful mantra to use whenever doubt creeps in (8:41)

[00:00:00] The Melissa Ambrosini Show. Welcome to the Melissa Ambrosini Show. I’m your host, Melissa bestselling author of Mastering Your Mean Girl, open, wide, comparisonitis and Time Magic, and I’m here to remind you that love is sexy, healthy is liberating, and wealthy isn’t a dirty word. Each week I’ll be getting up close and personal with thought leaders from around the globe, as well as your weekly dose of motivation so that you can create epic change in.

Your own life and become the best version of yourself possible. Are you ready? Beautiful. Beautiful.

Hi, beautiful. Welcome back to the show. I’m so excited about this episode because I feel like the topic of living in alignment is really pulsing in the collective right now, and I wanna speak to it. Because everywhere I look [00:01:00] online and in person, people are stripping life back to what really matters. Do you feel that?

I sure feel that, and I see that. So friends are selling businesses, families are simplifying their life, other people are moving across the world, and I believe this is more than just a coincidence. I feel like it is a collective recalibration. It is a call to live by our deepest values rather than the noise of the world.

And I feel this too. And as we shift from winter to spring here in Australia, I have really felt a pool inward and not hibernation. I don’t wanna like stay inside and not leave my house. That’s not what I’m talking about. I wanna definitely be outside and be in nature, but the inward pool I’m feeling is tending to the love within my four walls of my house, my [00:02:00] children, my husband, which our love is the foundation of our family.

It is the glue that holds this family together. And when that is not thriving, nothing else works. I don’t know about you, but when my relationship is not thriving. It feels like everything is crumbling around me, but for you, maybe it’s not your family right now, maybe that’s not your focus right now.

Maybe this season is focusing on your health or your creativity or money or community or your spiritual path. Whatever it is, it is yours and the more that you honor it, the lighter your life feels. But here’s the tension. Alignment isn’t noisy. Your inner mean girl or your inner critic or whatever you wanna call it.

We’ll whisper things like, don’t be so selfish, you should do more. Look at her. Look at him. Look at them. [00:03:00] Look what they’re doing. And suddenly you are knee deep in comparisonitis. You are scrolling someone else’s highlight reel while ignoring the quiet truth inside you. So this is why alignment matters when your inner world lines up with your outer actions, peace follows, your health strengthens, your relationships deepen, and life expands.

Your shoulders drop down and back, and you exhale. So how do we actually live in alignment? I’m gonna give you three questions that I want you to sit with this week, but why this is so important is the world is only gonna get noisier, so we have to really make sure that we are living in alignment with our core values, [00:04:00] with what is important to us, not what so and so on.

Instagram is doing what is important to you in this season of your life. What is important to you? What are your core values? What does living in alignment look like, feel like, sound like, taste like for you. So if you’re not driving, write these three questions down or type them in the notes section of your phone.

The first one, what do I claim matters most to me? Am I out there saying My family is so important, my health is so important. My work is so important. What am I claiming? Declaring is the most important to me. Question two is, how does my calendar and energy reflect that or contradict that claim? So if you are out there claiming that your children are the most important thing to you, yet you have no one-on-one time with them during your whole week, or if you are claiming [00:05:00] that your health is so important to you, yet there is no exercise in your calendar.

Or if you’re claiming that your work is so important to you, yet you are constantly procrastinating on writing the book or launching the podcast or the program or whatever it is. So how does your calendar reflect or contradict that claim, and how does your energy reflect or contradict that claim?

That’s the second question. These are big questions, confronting questions, but if you look at my calendar. I can tell you that there is a lot of time with my children in my week. There is one-on-one time with Bambi in my week ’cause that is so important to me. My marriage is so important to me. There is a date, a weekly reoccurring date every Wednesday in my calendar with Nick Health.

A number one priority for me, a number one core value. If you look in my calendar, you can see when I’m working out. So [00:06:00] how does your calendar and your energy reflect or contradict that claim? Number three. If I were to live one degree more in alignment today, what would that look like? Close your eyes and think about this.

If you were to live one degree more in alignment today, what would that look like? Write it down. Get clear. This is how we move more toward alignment. Now, these questions, they’re not small, they are gateways. The answers are already waiting within you. Beautiful. The answers are always within you. We just have to quieten down all the noise.

And for me, one of the most important things to me right now in my life is raising my children in love with a calm, regulated nervous system and investing in my marriage. So, like I said, when I look at my calendar, it [00:07:00] reflects that. And if I am saying yes to everything outside of my home, but running on fumes with my kids, that is out of alignment.

If I’m pouring so much into something that is not in alignment, but neglecting my marriage, that is out of alignment. So these questions, they keep me honest and in alignment. Now your answers will look different to mine. Do not compare yourself to me for you. Maybe it is finally writing that book or launching that program or.

Starting that podcast, maybe it is going to bed earlier, maybe it is leaving the job that is crushing your spirit alignment. Doesn’t have to be dramatic as well. Like it is also about the micro choices that add up, like how you spend your minutes, how you speak to yourself, where your attention goes. Those little micro moments.

The choice of do I make something healthy for lunch or do I. Have a bag of crisps or do I [00:08:00] have junk food? Those micro choices are opportunities to live in alignment, and if you are inner critic, your inner Ming girl pipes up. While you sit with these questions, remind yourself that you don’t need to live for approval of anyone else.

Of anyone on social media. You don’t need to measure your worth against someone else’s timeline. There is no rush. You are not behind. You are exactly where you are supposed to be, and you don’t need to earn permission to do what feels true for you and to live in alignment. You are allowed to live in alignment where you are at right now in your life with the season that you are in right now.

So take a breath, ask yourself these powerful, game changing, life changing questions. Then listen, because when you listen, you will notice your body relaxes. The path becomes clearer, your shoulders drop, [00:09:00] and your life will start to flow more effortlessly. This is one of my favorite mantras that I want you to take.

When I live in alignment with my truth, everything flows. Say it with me when I live in alignment with my truth. Everything flows. Write it on a post-it, stick it on your mirror. Repeat it until it sinks in. This is the work that matters. Your life matters. Living in alignment with your truth, with your core values matter.
