Podcast Overview

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. <br/><br/><a href="https://shiftintoalignment.substack.com?utm_medium=podcast">shiftintoalignment.substack.com</a>

From bodybuilding and diets to true embodiment, with Sarah Gaines, founder of Joy Flow

<p>Sarah Gaines spent her entire teens and twenties trying to control her body, from her first diet at eight years old to bodybuilding at nineteen. She finally got the “body of her dreams” but lost herself in the process. What changed everything wasn’t another protocol. It was learning how to come home to her body instead of trying to fix it.</p><p>Today Sarah is the founder of Joy Flow, a mindful movement method helping women reconnect with their bodies and feel free. In this conversation, we get into the specific practices, the science of moving stuck emotion through the body, and the question she comes back to every single day: Body, what do you need?</p><p><strong>What we cover:</strong></p><p>* Sarah’s journey from extreme dieting and bodybuilding to true embodiment</p><p>* Why controlling your body from the outside is what disconnects you from it</p><p>* The “cookie on a Wednesday” moment that started everything</p><p>* What a somatic snack actually is, and why a 60-second practice can change your whole day</p><p>* The three-part Joy Flow movement practice: shake, dance, stillness</p><p>* Why moving your body is one of the fastest ways to process stuck emotion</p><p>* The question Sarah asks her body every day, and how to start asking yours</p><p>* The simple practice anyone can start tomorrow</p><p><strong>Where to find Sarah:</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahjgaines/">LinkedIn</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.bejoyflow.com">JoyFlow</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/bejoyflow">Instagram</a></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Shift Into Alignment at <a href="https://shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Walking is a shower for your nervous system — movement, emotion, and how to hear what your body is actually asking for

<p>A founder-to-founder conversation on movement, motivation, and why the shift from forcing your body to move to listening to your body changes everything.</p><p>It’s summer. The business is launching. The travel is real. And we’re both navigating a season where movement matters more than ever, but the old fitness rules don’t apply.</p><p>In this short founder-led episode, Annie and Marissa get real about their current workout routines, including how Marissa built a strength training plan with ChatGPT after canceling her SoulCycle membership, why Annie’s been walking 20,000 steps a day, and the deeper conversation underneath it all: when does pushing yourself serve you, and when is it the very thing keeping you stuck?</p><p>This is the conversation for the woman who’s tired of every workout feeling like punishment, who knows she should be lifting heavy but doesn’t know where to start, and who’s wondering if there’s a way to move her body that actually feels like care.</p><p><strong>Here’s how to work with us at Shift </strong></p><p>Shift 1:1 coaching is open now.

"They Told Me It Was Just a Painful Period" — Chelsea Leyland on Endometriosis, Pregnancy Loss and the Journey from DJ to Founder

<p>In this episode of In Alignment, Chelsea Leyland joins Annie and Marissa for a raw conversation on women’s health, chronic illness, and the power of community.</p><p>A former DJ turned women’s health entrepreneur, Chelsea is the co-founder of Looni, and she shares how her own hardships with epilepsy, endometriosis, and pregnancy loss reshaped the trajectory of her life and led her to build a company dedicated to women’s hormonal health.</p><p>Chelsea walks through her decade-long road to an endometriosis diagnosis and the medical gaslighting that left her doubting her own pain. The conversation digs into what endometriosis actually is, why women’s pain has been normalized for generations, and the staggering research and funding gaps in women’s health.</p><p>Chelsea also shares a practical toolbox for managing chronic hormonal conditions, from traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and stress management to nutrition, magnesium, flax, cannabinoids, pelvic floor therapy, and bioidentical progesterone.</p><p>Finally, Chelsea speaks candidly about her ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, the isolation of pregnancy loss, and how a WhatsApp group she started for herself grew into Looni’s free community, built on the belief that “physicians should be prescribing community.”</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Shift Into Alignment at <a href="https://shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&#38;utm_campaign=CTA_4">shiftintoalignment.substack.com/subscribe</a>
