I hope you had a great weekend!

As you know, a couple of weeks ago, I was in Arizona for a retreat to kick off the Integrated Wealth Advisor certificate program I am participating in over the next eight months.

I planned on writing more about the retreat, and I may still, but I just wanted to share a little insight from this week's first day of class.

The level of excitement and energy I felt during class confirmed that the IWA is exactly what I am supposed to be doing this year with my time and money dedicated to personal growth, and those feelings have been confirmed by a couple of bald eagle sightings this weekend.

Our first class was focused on our identities and how they impact our relationship with money--I should have a new AlignedLife blog post on this topic in the next day or two.

I share this for a couple of reasons:

• Don't be afraid to invest in your personal growth and development each year.
• Pay attention to how you feel to see if the body confirms the work you are doing.
• Don't downplay the importance of synchronicities that act as additional confirmation.
• I can't wait to incorporate this new knowledge in the work I'm doing in AlignedLife+.

Ok, let's get to this week's Notes...

🎙️ AlignedLife Podcast: From C-Suite To Start Up with Frank Sawyer

​

​Apple Podcasts​

After 20 years climbing the corporate ladder inside hospitals and health systems — VP roles, COO of a major Metro Detroit hospital, navigating a global pandemic on the front lines — my guest Frank Sawyer walked away from it all to build something he believes can actually fix healthcare.

In this episode, Frank and I talk about what's really broken in the healthcare system (and why it's not a conspiracy), how he founded Health Forward to bridge the gap between healthcare innovation and the institutions that need it most, and the deeply personal journey of leaving a comfortable, lucrative career to bet on himself and his vision.

We go behind the scenes on the fears he had to overcome, the role his wife Katie played in giving him the final push, the "she don't want you anymore" moments that signaled it was time to go, and how he spent years quietly planting seeds so that when the moment came, all he had to do was hit the green button.

If you've ever felt the pull between where you are and where you know you're supposed to be, Frank's story is going to hit home.

​Same Money, Different Life "It is important to state clearly that higher consciousness does not guarantee riches. There are deeply conscious people with modest bank accounts. There are wealthy individuals operating at low levels of awareness. Money is not a moral scoreboard. But what I have consistently observed is this: people operating from higher states of consciousness tend to have what they need for their Authentic Life. The amount varies. The peace does not."

From time to time, I listen to a conversation, and all I can hear is other people talking about the Authentic Life.

See you next week (or tomorrow) and keep pursuing,
