In Alignment

Annie Ripp & Marissa Vivori

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

    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
