Hey love, welcome back!

Today I’m inviting you into a manifestation practice that’s radically shifted the way I approach business, money, and personal growth: ASKffirmations. Yes—with an “ASK.” And trust me, it’s not just a cute name; it’s a potent energetic tool that can gently rewire your mindset and open you to receive what your soul truly desires.

But before we dive into the juicy bits of subconscious reprogramming, I want to share a little life update and a sacred invitation.

A New Way to Lead from Within

Over the past few months, I’ve been deep in creation mode bringing my new group coaching program to life. It’s called Align to Lead, and it’s made for the conscious entrepreneur, the heart-led coach, the healer who is tired of feeling overwhelmed, scattered, and disconnected in their business. This is not your typical strategy-focused business course. This is a deep, nourishing container for spiritual embodiment and sustainable leadership.

Think of your business like a tree. Most traditional business courses focus on the branches—strategy, marketing, visibility. But if your roots (your nervous system, energy, and mindset) are shaky or depleted, that tree will never bear the fruit you know it’s capable of. Align to Lead is all about strengthening the roots so that your leadership grows tall, vibrant, and deeply aligned.

Doors open August 15th.

Now, let’s get into this incredible tool I’ve been leaning on: ASKffirmations.

What Are ASKffirmations?

ASKffirmations are like affirmations’ wise and curious cousin. Instead of making a bold statement like “I am abundant”, which can sometimes feel forced when you’re not in that headspace, ASKffirmations invite you to pose a powerful question—one that your subconscious can’t help but try to answer.

✨ Instead of: “I’m thriving.”
💫 Try: “Why is my business already thriving in the most aligned and easeful way?”

These questions bypass resistance and open the door to possibility. They engage your reticular activating system—your brain’s filtering system—to start scanning for proof that your desire is already real and possible.

How I Manifested Aligned Support Without Financial Stress

Earlier this year, I knew I wanted to invest in a live coaching experience. But I also knew I didn’t want to overextend myself financially just to feel like I had “skin in the game.” You know that narrative, right? The one that says you have to stretch beyond comfort to uplevel?

Well, I decided to rewrite it. I used ASKffirmations to call in a new story.

I asked questions like:

“What if I can invest in support without sacrificing my peace?”
“Why is it so easy to receive the coaching I desire while still feeling financially supported and spacious?”

And sure enough, not one, but two different coaching containers opened up for me at founder’s rates—with the only ask being that I share my transformation in a case study. That was enough of an energetic “skin in the game” to help me show up fully, without burning out or stressing my system. Pure magic—and all from asking a better question.

The Two Types of ASKffirmations

There are two ways you can use ASKffirmations in your life and business:

1. Future-Oriented ASKffirmations

These guide your focus away from fear-based “what ifs” and into possibility.
🌀 Example:

“What if everything I need for this launch is already within me?”
“What if this gets to turn out better than I ever imagined?”

Perfect for when you're in a wobble and need to regulate your nervous system and shift your energy toward what’s possible.

2. Result-Oriented ASKffirmations

These are my favorite—and they’re super potent. They position you in the energy of it already happening.

🌀 Example:

“Why was it so easy to magnetize soul-aligned clients this month?”
“How did this launch become my most successful one yet?”

When you ask your subconscious these kinds of questions, your entire system begins to align with the vibration of the outcome already being real. This is where transformation truly starts to stick.

Why ASKffirmations Work (Even If You’re Skeptical)

I get it—if you’ve ever felt disconnected or fake saying affirmations, you’re not alone. That’s why ASKffirmations are so supportive. They don’t require belief. They don’t demand certainty. They simply open a door.

And the truth is, your subconscious is always answering questions you pose—so if you’re stuck in loops like “Why isn’t this working?” or “Why can’t I ever catch a break?”—guess what you’re going to keep finding?

That’s why consciously shifting the questions you ask can change everything. Because when you orient your mind toward solutions, your energy starts to follow.

Not Bypassing—Regulating

Let’s be clear: ASKffirmations aren’t about bypassing deep healing work. They’re about gently guiding your nervous system back into regulation when you’re spiraling in fear or overwhelm.

Sometimes, healing doesn’t have to mean digging deeper into the shadow. Sometimes, what you really need is a little light to help you find your way through.

And one of the simplest, most powerful lights you can carry with you is a beautiful question.

“What if I’m already on the right path?”
“What if this gets to feel good?”
“What if I’m already becoming the version of me I’ve been praying for?”

If this episode lit something up within you, and you’re craving a space to embody this work, I invite you to join Align to Lead. Curated for the Conscious Entrepreneur, Heart-Led Coach, or Healer who struggles with overwhelm, doubt, and burnout while running their business

Aligned to Lead is where we begin to shift that from the inside out. Inside this group coaching program, you’ll learn how to reconnect with your body and regulate your nervous system so that leadership becomes grounded, joyful, and intuitive again. Through spiritual embodiment (body, mind, soul integration) where we energetically recalibrate, you’ll shed the old patterns that kept you spinning your wheels and start building from a place of inner clarity and calm. This is the moment your business stops being a drain and starts becoming a true expression of your soul.

You'll finally lead with presence, power, and peace. Your decisions feel anchored. Your energy is sustainable. Your intuition is back online, and you no longer second-guess yourself. You show up with confidence, you create with flow, and your leadership style finally matches the kind of business — and life — you actually want to live. You feel like you again — but more empowered, more radiant, and more aligned than ever.

We open doors August 15th to just 10 founding members—and if you’re on the priority list, you’ll be the first to receive the full details and opportunity to claim your spot.

Let’s co-create the kind of leadership—and life—that feels nourishing, magnetic, and sustainable.
