The Refined Sunday Soul-Session  Pull up a chair for a different kind of Sunday service. I’m Michelle Aalbers, and on Hypothetically Intentional, we’re trading surface-level talk for soul-level truth. Every week, I dive into the question: What if we set intentions with everything we do? Whether I’m hanging out with a guest or sharing a solo heart-to-heart, these are the candid, gritty, and beautiful stories of healing and wisdom that remind us we aren’t alone. We explore spirituality and purpose through real human connection—which means we laugh, we share, and we aren't afraid of a little tasteful cussing. Join us every Sunday for a fresh perspective on living a life of purpose. BYE! (Be You Everyday)

    What If the Stories You Tell About Your Past Aren't the Whole Truth?

    Have you ever noticed how tightly we cling to the meaning we give past events—especially when those meanings stem from our old wounds? In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, Michelle shares a lighthearted story about a night of psychic stand-up comedy before diving into a profound visualization: the distinction between a single snapshot in time, the personal narratives shaped by our conditioning, and the ultimate, Divine truth of our experiences. Join Michelle in bringing curiosity, playfulness, and higher perspective to the stories that hold you back.

    Embracing the Detour: A New Way to Look at Tarot Reversals

    Have you ever pulled a tarot card upside down and felt an immediate flash of worry? In this solo episode, Michelle reframes tarot reversals from a sign of regression into what they truly are: a scenic detour. There is nothing wrong, no failure, and no backward movement when a card flips. Instead, Michelle explains how these detours invite us to connect with the energy of the card before it, providing a beautiful path toward deeper clarity and comfort.

    How Changing Your Everyday Vocabulary Can Instantly Shift Your Body’s Energy

    In this solo episode, Michelle dives into the subtle but profound weight of the language we use with ourselves. By examining the hidden energy behind common phrases like "I caught myself," Michelle uncovers how we inadvertently slip into cycles of guilt, shame, and self-punishment.

    Logic Meets Magic: Navigating Alchemy, Faith, and Infinite Possibilities with Shylla Webb

    What if the very things that exhaust you are just invitations to change how you are dancing with life?  In this episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I sit down with my friend Shylla Webb of Inner Matter for a beautiful, messy, and deeply grounding conversation about what happens when logic meets magic and human meets divine. Shylla shares her journey from navigating childhood grief and a rigid religious framework to realizing that true faith isn’t about forcing black-and-white answers—it’s about leaning into infinite possibilities.  Together, we explore how to discern the difference between your highest self and your egoic mind, the profound practice of letting go of what no longer serves your capacity, and why shifting from a "grind" mentality into a state of flow changes absolutely everything. If you’ve been feeling frozen by choices, stuck in the hustle, or afraid to step into the unknown, this episode is your reminder to extend the same grace to yourself that you so freely give to the rest of the world.  "Why grind when you can flow? If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no."  Connect with Shylla: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InnerMatter Website: https://innermatter.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shyllawebb/ Send us Fan Mail This podcast is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute providing professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or professional healthcare services. -------------------------------------------------------------- Want more from Michelle?

    Finding the Sparkle: Why Dark Humor and Blank Calendars Are Good for the Soul

    Sometimes life keeps lifing, and we get so caught up in the heavy that we forget to pause, connect, and celebrate. In this lighthearted yet deeply grounded episode of Hypothetically Intentional, I’m joined by my wonderful friend Tanya Smart. Tanya opens up about navigating an intense season of high work stress, the beautiful relief of reaching a finite end date, and what it truly feels like to welcome a summer of pure freedom and creative play.  Together, we explore the duality of stress and celebration, the healing power of dark humor, and why it is so necessary to protect empty space in our calendars. If you are feeling overwhelmed or are ready to transition into your own season of calm, this episode is a gentle invitation to lighten the heavy and find the funny in the middle of the mess.  Connect with Tanya: Explore Tanya’s creative writing and reflections on her Substack: @TFSmart.
