Welcome to Aligned by Design. I'm Alexis Stone, certified EFT practitioner, and I'm here to help you get out of your head and back into your life.
Each episode, we'll talk about the nervous system patterns, limiting beliefs, and emotional habits keeping so many millennial women stuck in cycles of people pleasing, overthinking, burnout, self-doubt, and feeling behind.

The unexpected reason I struggled with visibility
In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most surprising limiting beliefs I've uncovered through EFT: the belief that authority is bad.
