It’s been a month of episodes (already?!), and we’re breaking from our usual rhythm to pause, reflect, and stay in the conversation—with you. This is our new monthly ritual: the improv-style, pull-up-a-cushion kind of episode where we revisit the themes that linger, the questions you asked, and the growth we didn’t see coming. From redefining disagreement to finding purpose beyond roles, we’re naming what’s still stirring, and trusting that the messy middle is where the good stuff lives.

This week, Ang and D get real about what it means to live in alignment—starting with a body scan and ending in truth-telling. They unpack how easy it is to slip into performing or conforming, and how checking in with yourself (and your people) is the key to coming home to who you really are. It’s honest, it’s vulnerable, and yes, it includes a little too-late Instagram scrolling and a powerful quote about boundaries you’ll want to write down.
