    From Burnout to Alignment: Trusting the Soul-Led Path with Christine Marcario

    Send us a text In this deeply moving episode I sit down with Christine Marcario—intuitive teacher, manifestation mentor, Reiki practitioner, and host of the Aligned and Abundant podcast—for a soul-level conversation about burnout, identity, intuition, and trusting the path you didn’t plan. What begins as a story of misjudgment and first impressions unfolds into a powerful moment of heart connection—one that opens the door to a much deeper conversation about spiritual awakening, teacher burnout, divine redirection, and the courage it takes to choose alignment over comfort. Christine shares her journey from nearly two decades in education to walking away from a career that once felt like her calling—and how the universe repeatedly nudged (and eventually pushed) her toward a soul-led life of intuitive teaching, healing, and spiritual mentorship. This episode is for anyone who feels tired of surviving and ready to start truly living! If you’ve ever felt the quiet knowing that something had to change…  If you’ve ever ignored the nudge…  If you’ve ever been afraid to choose yourself… This conversation will meet you exactly where you are. ✨ You’re not lost — you’re being realigned. In this episode, we explore: Teacher burnout and identity lossLeaving a career that once felt like a callingSpiritual awakening and intuitive developmentReiki, manifestation, and soul workMisjudgment transforming into deep connectionTrusting divine redirectionLiving aligned instead of survivingChoosing abundance over fearYou can connect with Chirsitne: All Things: https://linktr.ee/alignedandabundant IG: https://www.instagram.com/christine.marcario.coach/ Podcast: https://alignedandabundant.buzzsprout.com/ Community: https://www.skool.com/aligned-abundant-5126/about Newsletter: https://aligned-and-abundant.kit.com/afd0571963 You can find me at: https://www.instagram.com/cataton/ https://www.facebook.com/casey.taton/ You can find what sparks me at: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AgeRtyojY/ https://www.instagram.com/lmbdcelebrations/ Music by: Jason and Ashley Scheufler Artwork by: https://www.instagram.com/graphx_ink/

    When a Trigger Becomes a Glimmer: A lesson in Self-Trust

    Send us a text In this Shower Sprinkle episode I share a personal moment of being triggered by a conversation in the coaching and podcasting space — and how that discomfort became a powerful invitation to look inward. Rather than reacting or placing blame, I paused and reflected on what the trigger was revealing about my own alignment, integrity, and core values. With honesty and embodiment, I explore how triggers can act as mirrors — and how, when met with curiosity, they can transform into glimmers that guide us back to self-trust. This episode is especially relevant in a season where trust feels shaky in the coaching and online business world. I remind listeners that while external systems may shift, staying rooted in your values and inner guidance is what creates steadiness, confidence, and peace. You’ll hear reflections on: How to recognize triggers in the bodyWhy discomfort is often an invitation, not a problemThe difference between reacting and respondingHow to reconnect with your core valuesWhat it means to be led by self-trust and faithThis Shower Sprinkle is a gentle yet powerful reminder that your inner alignment matters — and that triggers don’t have to derail you. They can lead you home.

    Im Over "New Year, New Me"

    Send us a text The new year shows up loud — new goals, new habits, new pressure.  And honestly? I’m over it. In this episode I’m sharing why the “New Year, New Me” mentality no longer resonates with me — and how it often sets us up to be harder on ourselves instead of more compassionate. A new year is just another day we get to be alive. We don’t need January 1st to change, grow, or begin again. Real change doesn’t happen overnight — it happens through small, steady habits, self-awareness, and learning to listen to our bodies. In this honest, heart-led conversation, I talk about: Why harsh resolutions often lead to burnout and self-judgmentThe difference between pressure-filled goals and gentle, sustainable habitsWhy I prefer the idea of a reset over “new year, new me”How expectations — especially unspoken ones — set us up for disappointmentWhat it means to live day by day instead of constantly chasing what’s nextWhy feeling your feelings, resting, crying, laughing, and slowing down all matterHow small moments of courage add up to meaningful changeI also share what’s coming next on the podcast, including an upcoming series centered around grief, death, and legacy — and why these conversations matter more than ever. This episode is an invitation to take the pressure off of 2026.  To calm things down.  To choose ease, peace, honesty, and self-love. You don’t need to become someone new this year.  You get to return home to yourself. ✨ Let this be the year we stop pushing — and start listening.

    The Miracle of Letting Go: How My Frozen Shoulder Finally Released

    Send us a text In this deeply personal episode, I share the unexpected and awe‑filled turning point in my frozen shoulder and ulnar neuropathy journey. After months of pain, loss of function, aggressive treatments, and preparing for possible surgery, I experienced a moment I can only describe as a miracle. While jogging for the first time in months, I fell—landing on the very arm she had been guarding, bracing, and fearing she might lose function in. What followed wasn’t further injury… it was release. In this episode, I walk you through the full journey—from early symptoms and emotional resistance, to surrender, nervous system shock, fascial release, and the slow return of movement and function. This is not medical advice, but a powerful story of body wisdom, faith, and what can happen when we stop forcing and start listening. Key Reflections from This Episode: Sometimes the body locks down to protect us when we don’t feel safeHealing doesn’t always come from doing more—it can come from letting goFear, control, and guarding can keep pain patterns stuckThe body often knows before the mind is readyAsking for help and receiving support can be deeply healingClosing Note As we close out 2025, I reflect on a year that looked like setbacks—but revealed itself as deep transformation. With gratitude, humility, and hope, I celebrate the return of movement, function, and trust in my body. A powerful reminder that miracles don’t always come the way we expect—but they often arrive right when we finally let go. A Gentle Disclaimer This episode is not medical advice. I do not recommend or suggest recreating this experience. Healing journeys are unique and personal. If you are experiencing frozen shoulder, nerve pain, or loss of function, please consult a qualified medical professional.

    The Shameless Woman Panel: A Conversation on Releasing Shame, Remembering Your Worth and Building an Extrodinary Life

    Send us a text In this deeply healing and electrifying episode I sit down with my pod sisters for The Shameless Woman Panel — a raw, truth-telling conversation about shame, womanhood, embodiment, belonging, and the power of speaking our stories out loud. What unfolds is a multi-layered, soul-stirring exploration of how shame begins in childhood, compounds across years, and quietly shapes how women show up in the world — and more importantly, how we break free. Through personal stories, humor, spiritual wisdom, somatic tools, journaling practices, intuitive self-talk, sensual reclamation, and powerful “shame interception,” this panel shows what it looks like when women stop hiding and start shining. Power Sentences (For Any Woman Stuck in Shame) Each panelist closes with a one-sentence blessing: Casey: “I love you. I see you. I hear you. Your story matters, and I’m here to celebrate you all the way through it.” Jen: “You’re not alone, and you deserve love — and you deserve to pursue whatever makes you come alive.” Tracy: “Love yourself, know yourself, and don’t let anyone tell you who you are — and share your story.” Kena: “Name it, say it out loud, and shake it out of your body with music, movement, and pleasure.” Dana: “Get in community, because shame cannot survive storytelling, connection, and women rising together.” Connect with my pod sisters & Support them: Jen Chambers:https://www.instagram.com/j_b_chambers/ Tracy Hill:https://www.instagram.com/abeautifulfix/ Kena Siu: https://www.instagram.com/midlifebutterfly/ Dana Hunter-Fradella:https: https://www.instagram.com/girls.who.recover/ You can find me at: https://www.instagram.com/cataton/ https://www.facebook.com/casey.taton/ You can find what sparks me at: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AgeRtyojY/ https://www.instagram.com/lmbdcelebrations/ Music by: Jason and Ashley Scheufler Artwork by: https://www.instagram.com/graphx_ink/
