Join us for the Aligned April Retreat! https://shecreated.co/april-2026-aligned-retreat
I’m going raw and unfiltered with you and inviting you to pause, reflect, and get real about alignment. I walk you through the wins-learnings-growth check in I did at a mastermind, how I spotted the brave actions that moved me forward, and why taking imperfect steps like hosting my first retreat and launching this podcast mattered more than waiting for perfection. I share how a tough season in 2025 stripped old identities and led me to my theme for the year ahead essence and leading from intuition and my feminine energy. We’ll explore questions for your future self, how to design your next season with intention, and where you might need a great realignment to receive what’s next. If you crave depth and community, I’ve got an intimate retreat coming up apply via the link in the show notes and come create your life by design with me.

Welcome to the abundant at the top podcast!
I'm Brittany Fox your host.
Whenever we go to create anything of in our lives
I love to start with the idea of
how do we create from a place of alignment
one of my big themes for my life and for my community
she created is create a beautiful life by design
well how do we do that
how do we know what an intentional life looks like
where do we even begin one of the places that we start
when we go to really be intentional
is to pause
is to really spend some time
thinking
about what it is we want to create in our lives
often times we're so busy go go
going as the high achieving women that we are
that we forget to actually create something new
we need to pause we need to really think about
what it is we want to create next
in our lives recently
I was at a mastermind conference in Delray Beach
with an incredible community
and I was reminded as we did this exercise
of looking at all the wins for the year
to take some time
and I do this every year very intentionally
and it's so beautiful to see
as you keep doing this work
of the AHAs as the moments
and also putting yourself in a space of community
and with a beginner's mind
because I've done this exercise how many times
I mean over the last eight years
I've done it every single year
but hearing it from a new perspective
or having someone guide you
can make all the difference
so what we did was
we started writing down all of our wins for the year
all the things that we had uh
achieved celebrated
from big to small milestones
and we just took some deep time
like over 15 minutes really
just writing those out
but I'd encourage you no matter where you're at
just spend some time reviewing your last 90 days
reviewing your last week reviewing your last year
wherever you're at at this time
to think about all those wins
because when we can actually see how far we've come
we're reminded of what's possible
and so I did this exercise
I was writing down all of my wins
and what was cool was
they also asked us this question was
what was your learnings
and this could have been a learning from
a positive experience
from the big win that you would just written down
or a learning from
maybe a difficult season in your life
and to really reflect on what you had Learned
because often times I think we just keep going
and we don't really think about the learning lessons
and this is such an important reflection for me
because I do keep going and I have these learnings
but to really think about it
to journal it to write it down
to ingrain it in my memory one
I don't want to have to learn this lesson again
sometimes we have to keep going around the mountain
but
if we can make note of that during our reflection time
then
maybe you don't have to go around the mountain again
the other beautiful question that they asked was
how did you grow this year
and I love this I mean
growth being one of my top human needs
I think a lot of people listening to this
you love to keep growing is
how did you grow this year
how did you put yourself out there
how did you overcome those challenges
it was it's a different question than the learning one
I had some really cool distinctions
of seeing how far I've come
and also what are the characteristics
and that was something that I was able to tie as well
what was two characteristics of
who you've been over the last year
and what do you wanna bring into the next year
and I
I looked at that and I saw two really cool reflections
when I looked at the behaviors and the actions
that LED me to some of my wins
my learnings and even my growth
I had two really cool distinctions that this year
I was brave I took some bold action this year
and I love these moments
and one of the characteristics for me
being brave is this grit this relentlessness
and it's one of my life mottos
and core values is to be relentless
I always say and this is something I've used in my
my tech staffing company is that we always find a way
and that became a cultural norm
because it's how me and my husband live our life
is that we always find a way
we always figure it out
and that LED me to being really brave this year
to being vulnerable putting myself out there
and I remember being so uncertain of that first retreat
I didn't have as many sign UPS as I thought
I thought about even canceling it
maybe rescheduling it
giving me more time to plan and prepare
and get it perfect
as I do
but I realized that I needed to take that action
even if I just made an impact in one person's life
it was worth putting on the retreat
to make that difference
it would also have given me the learnings
which I know now of that first experience
if I would have made that decision
to put off my first retreat
I would not be where I am today
and I just realized that that took bravery
that took courage it didn't mean I wasn't scared
it didn't mean that I didn't have fear
but courage is when you take action anyways
so I was really brave this year with that experience
with putting myself out there
with the retreat with the public speaking that I did
it's something that I've really been working on
for my skill sets and being able to do it anyways
not waiting till it's perfect
just like this podcast
I worked with a coach to put this all together
and I have had every excuse of why
to keep putting it off again and again
because I want to have the perfect plan together
I want to have the content organized
an epiphany just hit me
that you guys don't even want me all scripted
and all of my thoughts perfectly aligned
you want the raw authentic me
I mean in a day of AI
where everything's robotic and perfect
I think you'd rather hear from a human
and their experience
so I've decided to go raw and unfiltered
there is no notes here
I am just talking to you about my current learnings
what's happening because this is what we want
we want connection and we want authenticity
and I love the idea of being able to reflect on
what are the behaviors
because then we can ask ourselves this question
how can we bring more of that into the next year
and maybe you're not doing this at the end of the year
but how can you bring this into the current season
of your life
your past reflections of the behaviors that you like
that you want to keep doing
I always start my year off with a theme with a word
these typically come to me pretty strongly
in a meditation
or just what I'm hearing from my community
of what they want and where they're at in their lives
and what I realized was
as high achieving women who are business oriented
very successful in our own rights
that we are very good at goal setting
and last year the retreat
we did goal setting we set them uh
what we wanted to accomplish
we made plans and did all the tactical things
which don't get me wrong
we will be doing that again this year
what we're gonna be doing
is doing it from a place of alignment
and how do we know when we're in alignment
we're gonna be talking about this and really seeing
how do we make that intentional choice
what we started this conversation with at the beginning
is how do you live an intentional life by design
well one you have to pause
you have to think about what it is you wanna create
you think about your values
you think about the traits
who do you wanna become
is the question for future goals
who do you wanna become is such a key question
and I love this of what would your future self do
what would she say how would she act
how would she behave
and this is what we're gonna be talking about in depth
but I think about now how can we even begin right now
we don't have to wait for a conference
we don't have to wait for a retreat
we can start taking action now
so what is something that you can do
to see where you're in alignment now
where are you not in alignment
and how can you get an alignment
for who you wanna become who is your future self
and she's waiting on you
I know you because you crave connection and depth
I wanna invite you to an exclusive gathering
I have a spot with your name on it
it's a special weekend where we go deep
we will work on your goals and dreams
and identify anything that's holding you back
you're gonna walk away with not only a tactical plan
but friends that you can do life with
I see you and I wanna create a space for you
click on the link in the show and apply now
I wanna also just talk about that
sometimes in order to get to alignment
we have to go through what I'm gonna call
the great realignment
that we have to go through some really hard things
and let go of some things
that are no longer serving us
sometimes we do these things consciously intentionally
we're doing the inner work
we're doing the things
we're showing up at the conference
we're going to the therapy
we're doing the coaching
but sometimes life just gives us the test
it gives us these challenges that we have to overcome
that are outside of our control
and often times these are for our greatest learnings
if we allow them don't get me wrong
there is moments and seasons where we can't see that
we can't see how it's for our growth
and we don't need to we need to just feel the raw
real emotions
of that hard thing that we're going through
but at some point we get to the place of
this is for my highest growth
this is for the highest version of myself
and it's gonna serve me and I know that for this year
it has been a really challenging year
for a lot of people
if you're into all the things like numbers and nine
and they say that it was the year of the snake
and shedding and letting go of all those things
then you know that you've been letting go
of what no longer serves you
of patterns that needed to be changed
in order to get to where you wanna go
and with the New Year coming up
it's a new season it's a new beginning
new opportunity and it's coming
whether you're ready or not
that you have new growth coming
you have new opportunities
new beginnings and I hope that this last season
that your alignment your realignment
allowed you to get to this place of receivership
of intentional design
of who you are and who you want to be
because it's such a beautiful place
when we can create with intention
it doesn't mean that we still don't have challenges
in this next season they just look different
and they're serving a different purpose
so this year coming up what is it that you wanna create
and how do you wanna create it
through that place of alignment
I'd love to just say how for me
2025 has been one of the hardest years for me
personally
I just had some really hard challenges
some betrayal in my life with different
close relationships and it was a year of letting go of
not only those relationships
but of the identity
that I attached to those relationships
I've done a lot of work on letting go of the identity
of who I am was my business
my success of achieving this number in revenue
and financial abundance I've let go of
that's not who I am well yes
I've achieved those things
I that's not who I am as a person
and a new learning for me was I'm not also
not only my business I'm not my relationships
I'm not even my health or my fitness
because we know often too
that can be a challenge that is out of our control
we can do all the biohacking in the world
but
we can still face
difficult health challenges in our life
and having been through this really hard season
it's preparing me for what is next
which I believe for me coming up is a year of alignment
it is also connected very much to the theme of my life
that was given to me in a download
as a guidance
to what this year ahead is gonna look like
and the word for me was essence
now what is essence it is the true who I am
which I let go of those identities
I'm sure there's still work to be done
but truly walking in the identity of who I am
without the attachment of any of the things
of the relationships of the business
of the health of the fitness
of the goals of the achievement
but truly just who I am as a person
which in the raw most authentic self is my essence
is that feminine being
that's how I'm gonna lead this year
from a place of essence which what is that
it is intuition it is tapping into that inner knowing
and I just can't wait to continue to walk in
and explore this I don't have all the answers to this
but this is gonna be what my main theme is
and what I know will be a constant conversation
so
if you're have this question of walking in your true
feminine essence follow along
because we're going on a journey this coming up year
talking about this nonstop
it's a conversation I have with a lot of my friends
who are very successful
is how do we lead from that place of feminine energy
but still get stuff done right haha
I mean there's still stuff to do and how do we do it
and I love that so many of us on this journey
we've had success we've created a beautiful life
and we're at that point of impact in our lives
of being really intentional
about what we wanna create next
if you are at that place
where you are living your life of impact
I wanna hear from you
I wanna see what it is you're gonna be creating
in this coming up year
and how do you see yourself living a life of impact
