Welcome to In Alignment with Annie & Marissa. Our journey to feeling better in our bodies and our lives led us through wellness trends and healing practices, and through some of life’s harder moments. Navigating breakups, chronic health issues, body image, career transitions, finding purpose and starting over throughout our 20’s and 30’s. What we realized along the way is that the root of feeling stuck in our bodies, minds and lives is often a product of being out of alignment with who we truly are. When we come home to ourselves, the world around us starts to fall into place. Because the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. In Alignment is a space for honest conversations where we give you the tools to listen inward and design the life of your dreams. We’re so glad you’re here. shiftintoalignment.substack.com

    Anxious, Avoidant, or Secure? How to Break Patterns and Become Secure in Your Relationships

    In this episode of In Alignment, we’re breaking down attachment styles and how they quietly shape your relationships, your reactions, and your sense of safety in love. If you’ve ever: * Spiraled over a shift in tone * Felt “too much” for wanting reassurance * Pulled away when things got close * Confused intensity with connection * Felt calm and wondered why it suddenly feels boring This episode is for you. We explore: * The difference between anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment * Why your nervous system reacts * How childhood dynamics shape adult love * Why triggers are invitations, not proof something is wrong * How to move toward secure attachment without abandoning yourself Attachment is not a personality flaw. It is a survival strategy you developed in response to past experiences. You are not your attachment style, and being anxious or avoidant is not permanent. The goal is not to shame your patterns. It is to understand them. When you slow down enough to look, they offer powerful insight into what your nervous system learned about love, safety, and connection. Because when you understand your attachment style, you stop personalizing every shift in energy. You start responding instead of reacting. And you build relationships that feel steady instead of chaotic. Secure love is not about finding the perfect person.It is about creating safety inside your own nervous system.

    What to Do When Your Life Looks Right but Feels Wrong

    In this episode of In Alignment, founders Annie Ripp and Marissa Vivori share the real story behind their career pivots, entrepreneurial leap, and the healing that had to happen before Shift could be built. This conversation is for the woman who has the job that looks good on paper but feels misaligned inside. The woman who feels the quiet nudge toward something more but keeps overriding it with logic, fear, or comfort. Annie and Marissa explore: * Moving from traditional, high-achieving career paths into entrepreneurship * Leaving comfortable, prestigious roles to follow something uncertain * The role of intuition in major life decisions * How healing past wounds impacts your career path * Why happiness, not status, should guide your choices * The power of community in personal growth * Listening to your body when it whispers before it screams * Signs from the universe and learning how to recognize them * Embracing uncertainty instead of waiting for guarantees Marissa shares how unexpected events and serendipity shaped her path from tech to building in women’s health. Annie reflects on the internal unraveling that preceded her own pivot and how healing and self-discovery became the foundation for entrepreneurship. This episode reframes entrepreneurship not as hustle culture, but as a healing journey. Not as a ladder to climb, but as alignment to return to. Because sometimes the biggest risk isn’t leaving.It’s staying where you’ve outgrown yourself. Get full access to Shift Into Alignment at shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe

    Trusting Yourself Through Change with Brittany Felton

    Alignment is not something you arrive at. It is something you learn how to listen for. In this episode, Brittany Felton joins us for a refreshingly honest conversation about intuition, energy, and what it actually looks like to trust yourself through change. Rather than chasing certainty or control, Brittany reframes alignment as an ongoing relationship with yourself, one that deepens as you learn to slow down, tune in, and respond instead of force. We explore how Human Design can act as a mirror, not a rulebook, helping you understand how your energy moves, how you make decisions, and why certain paths feel heavy while others feel expansive. Brittany shares how releasing the need to have it all figured out created more joy, ease, and self-trust in her life. This conversation is for anyone who feels like they are in between versions of themselves. If you are navigating change, questioning old identities, or trying to rebuild trust with your intuition, this episode offers permission to soften, laugh more, and meet yourself exactly where you are. Alignment does not come from fixing yourself.It comes from listening to yourself. ✨ Human Design as a tool for self-understanding✨ Intuition over control✨ Energy, humor, and self-love as anchors✨ Finding presence in the middle of change Get full access to Shift Into Alignment at shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe

    How Optimization Culture Is Failing Women’s Health with Izzy Fisher, Founder of Daily Basis

    In this episode of In Alignment, we sit down with Izzy Fisher, founder of Daily Basis, to unpack what it actually means to support women’s health in a culture obsessed with optimization. Izzy shares her personal journey into the women’s health space, which began with her own struggles around hormones, burnout, and feeling disconnected from her body. That path ultimately led her to build Daily Basis, a supplement company designed specifically for menstruating women, rooted in cycle awareness, nutritional education, and self trust. Together, we explore why understanding the menstrual cycle is foundational to long term health, how supplement culture often misses the mark for women, and why optimization culture can quietly become another form of self abandonment. This conversation is a reminder that real health is not about doing more. It is about listening better. Get full access to Shift Into Alignment at shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe

    The Health Breakthrough You’re Looking For Might Begin With Feeling your Emotions with Annie & Marissa, Founders of Shift

    Welcome to the very first episode of In Alignment. In this conversation, founders Annie Ripp and Marissa Vivori introduce the intention behind the podcast and share why In Alignment needed to exist. After years immersed in the wellness world, both of us reached a turning point where the constant pursuit of “feeling good” through diet, supplements, rigid protocols, and the overwhelm of wellness culture was no longer enough. This episode marks the beginning of a deeper conversation about healing, self trust, and living in true alignment with the body. Annie and Marissa reflect on their personal journeys through health challenges, emotional healing, and self discovery, unpacking how many modern wellness practices can actually reinforce disconnection. They explore the idea that health is not just physical, but deeply emotional and relational, and that unresolved emotions and past experiences often show up as symptoms in the body. The conversation dives into women’s health in particular, including the impact of birth control, alcohol, and societal expectations on mental and emotional well being. They discuss why understanding the female cycle is essential for empowerment, how intuitive and embodied living can restore trust in the body, and why radical honesty with ourselves is the foundation of authentic relationships. This episode sets the tone for In Alignment. A space for truth, self forgiveness, and healing at the root. Not fixing yourself, but coming home to yourself.

    Burnout, Gut Healing, and the Ingredient That Built a Gut Health Wellness Brand

    In this episode of Let’s Feel Good Podcast, I sit down with Maya, founder of Alya Health, to explore how one ingredient quietly transformed her health and sparked an entirely new business. After years in tech and a growing battle with gut issues, inflammation, and chronic stress, Maya was forced to slow down and listen to her body. What started as a personal healing journey led her to uncover the underestimated power of truly high-quality olive oil. Not the grocery store kind. The real, fresh, polyphenol-rich kind. We break down how olive oil supports gut health as a natural prebiotic, reduces inflammation, and plays a role in skin, hair, metabolic health, and long-term disease prevention. Maya also debunks common olive oil myths, explains how most commercial oils are cut with cheaper fillers, and shares exactly what to look for when buying olive oil that actually supports your biology. This conversation is a reminder that food is not just fuel. It is information. And when chosen intentionally, it can change everything. Key Takeaways * Chronic stress and restrictive diets can quietly destroy gut health * High-quality olive oil supports the microbiome and reduces inflammation * Olive oil functions as a natural prebiotic * Most olive oils on shelves are not what they claim to be * Olive oil does not cause weight gain and can support metabolic health * Whole foods are one of the most powerful tools for preventing chronic disease * Healing can become the foundation for building a purpose-driven business Get full access to Shift Into Alignment at shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe
