Welcome to Align and Prosper, the podcast for women ready to remember who the fuck their soul came here to really be. I'm your host, Elise Danielle, multi-dimensional mentor and soul-led entrepreneur. After over a decade in the coaching, healing, and business space, and walking through my own unraveling and reawakening, I've learned that the real work goes way beyond the surface and the strategy. This is the place we go beyond mindset to rewire your entire system for alignment, truth, and the kind of abundance that flows from within. This is the work you're ready for now. Let's drop in. Hi, my loves. Okay, I'm starting with a bit of a confessional because you know me, sharing it all. So I really have hesitated on sharing this episode. And I wanted to not force it and really sit with it. And I think that is gonna lead to this being really good because it's given me deeper insight into how I want to share this and how I can really show up here as honestly and truthfully as possible, even though that feels super, super edgy. Probably not for the reasons that you think. So, you know, I was really feeling the call to share the behind the scenes of the retreat for a couple different reasons. One, because I find it so hard to do that in freaking two, three seconds on a reel, or even seven short sentences on a bloody carousel. It just is hard to encapsulate the magic that is truly going to be this weekend. And I also wanted to give a little bit more context. I don't know if I've actually shared this. I feel like I've shared this in my head or I've shared this with a lot of clients and friends and you know, some of those in my community, but I don't think I've shared this out loud in this way. And I wanted to do that to walk my own talk. And because I think it's really important for those of you who have maybe felt the call to the retreat or, you know, are just in your own season of becoming. My job, my mission, what I'm really here to do is to share my experience as transparently as possible and really be open with that because I think that is what we're missing so much in this world. And it's just what I feel really called to do. So I wanted to share what this retreat is really about, why it's unlike anything I've ever created, what is going to transpire. And I wanted to share this in such an unfiltered way. And I'll be really honest with you. I've hesitated around this because I have this fear that people won't understand it and get it. And that, you know, I have to like break things down in a way to simplify it. And I don't think that's true. I think that's actually the opposite of the truth. And, you know, that's not a, I don't think people are smart enough to understand this. It's just a fear of being misunderstood. And also knowing that like a lot of people won't get this. And that's totally okay because this is not for everyone. I am not for everyone. And I'm really feeling that pulled to be even more unapologetic in what feels true for me right now. And that's changed a lot over the years. Thank God, you know, thank God I've grown. Thank goodness I don't see things the same way I saw them two years, five years, seven years ago. Like, thank God I have evolved and changed. And I want to share some of that with you. So, this is gonna be, you know, my intention for this is obviously to give you more of an insight to the retreat, but not even for, yes, obviously for those of you that have been thinking about it, but aren't sure, maybe you're hesitant, maybe um have had retreat experiences before. This is not gonna be like anything you've ever done before, trust me. Um, but also to just be to model what it really looks like to step into our becoming. That's the whole point of me doing this. This is such an initiation for me. This is such a stretch out of my comfort zone. This has been such a journey with really leading with faith first and having to really check my logic business coach brain, because I'm at a stage where I'm meant to lead in a different way. And so I wanted to share that transparently. I don't think many people share this, and it it's something that I think is so valuable, regardless of if you're thinking of coming to the retreat, where you are in your journey, if you're feeling any sort of call to step into your next chapter to really, you know, this is for the woman that's on the edge of something, you know, whether that is a new stage in just awareness and consciousness, whether that is a new level in business, whether that is you're just feeling a transition and you don't know what's on the other side of that. I think that's the most common vibe for a lot of the women already joining us. But there is this undeniable collective thing happening at the moment where so many of us are going through big seasons of change. And what a better thing to do than come together, have a sacred, safe place, surround ourselves in the energy and the vibration of nourishment, of restoration, of safety, of presence, so that what's meant to land can actually have the foundation to land. This is what's required on an energetic level, because the reason why we maybe don't have the things that we desire that we're calling in is because we don't yet have the capacity to hold that. I just know that to the core of my being to be true. And when we can start to really accept that, surrender to that, be curious to that, that is when miracles fucking happen. And when I say miracles happen, I mean miracles happening. I, the things I've witnessed for myself recently, the things I'm seeing with my clients, I have never been more certain of anything in my entire life as this. And that was a really big call to do this. You know, at the beginning of the year, actually, it was the end of last year, I literally kept hearing the word retreat. And I was like, that's stupid. I'm not gonna do a retreat. That doesn't make sense. Where does that fit in with my offerings? What is the it's illogical, it makes no sense. I don't have a need for that, I don't have a demand for that, I don't have space for that. It's something totally new that doesn't make sense for me. All of the thoughts were there. None of my logical side of my business coach brain wanted a bar of it. And it kept coming up and it kept coming up and it kept coming up. And I have learned, I've learned slowly, still learning slowly, that if something keeps coming up, there is a reason for that. It's never been wrong. That has never been wrong in my life. I don't need to know why. It doesn't need to make sense, it's likely not gonna feel convenient. That's normal. And I have learned this the hard way enough to surrender to that more. And so I knew it was something I had to do. And I say, you know, I had choice for sure. I wanted, I fought it and wanted to fight it for a while. There's a few things popped up that had to move the dates and all of that. And it's been perfect and it is working out perfectly. And it's been an initiation, you know, it's really calling me to lead in a very different way, lead myself in a different, different way, lead in a deeper, slower, truer way, and trust and have faith in a much bigger way. And like at the beginning of this, I was very annoyed. Like, I was talking to one of my mentors, and I was like, like, for fuck's sakes, surely, surely I've learned these things before. I've had so many launches. I've had massive launches, like way bigger than this in terms of numbers, logistics, you know, campaign. Like, what more could I possibly expand my capacity for? And it really came through that questioning. This is why we always want to stay curious, of that it was really meant for me to do this in a way where I wasn't creating from a place of push, force, hard work, and that I was really meant to do this in a way where I allow things to fall in, where I'm open and receptive for next steps, where I don't need to know logically all of the steps. I just have to get really good at strengthening that inner trust, noticing the things that come up along the way, the patterning that wants to take over, and seeing how I can surrender in deeper levels to receivership, to letting the universe show me how good it can get, to allowing things to drop in instead of feeling like I have to control, micromanage, push all the things through. And it has been, it's been a journey, let me tell you. So I wanted to share with you like how this, it's so interesting, isn't it? Because of course, of course, that when I feel called, and this name dropped in at the beginning of the year, and I knew it had to be around becoming. And this was probably like, you know, I've been in a season of change and becoming for sure, but it was really, this was like, okay, we lock in once the name came into me. And of course, the journey that I'm going to be leading everyone through in this weekend is really an accumulation of the journey I've been in through this year and the lead up to becoming. Of course, you know, like this is how you just can't strategize, you can't manufacture this shit up. I mean, you can, but it ain't gonna work as well. And it's not gonna feel as true and resonant. Every single person that is joining us already, and we do have a few spots left, don't you worry, I'll be telling you about that, has said that, oh my gosh, like the timing, the timing of this. And, you know, a few people have jumped in last minute. I didn't really start talking about this until like six, eight weeks ago. Cause it didn't feel right. And like, again, you have no idea, you might, if you've been here for a while, how uh impressive that is for control freak brain Elise. And I'm really proud of myself for the way I've shown up for this. And again, this is my pattern. This isn't everyone's pattern. So, but you know, if you're high achieving, high performing kind of gal, you'll you'll get what I'm saying here. And it's been such an activation and initiation for me. And I am so, of course, you know, like because the way I've been able to embody this over the last year, no amount of pulling this topic out of my butt could have created. And it's so cool because as we approach, we're two weeks out, actually, as of today. I'll be closing the doors very soon. Um, in about a week, eight, nine days, just to give the the caterers and everyone enough time for final numbers and all of that. So you still have time, but it's running out, and you probably belong here if you're listening to this. Um it's so interesting to see how, of course, it's all coming together as it should. And every single woman has been like, oh my gosh, you know, like this is I I am in a transition. I do feel something coming in. I am shit scared about what that is. I don't know what it is. My logical brain wants to be like, no, we don't have the time, the space, the capacity, the money, the whatever to join. And they're showing up anyways because they're also willing to trust that feeling more than the fear, to trust that nudge more than the doubt, to be willing to really take, find that golden thread, lean into it, regardless of how convenient, logical, responsible, all of the things it is. And there hasn't been a single thing I've created in my life that has been magnificent. And I just had my 14-year Australia anniversary. And I promise you, I was so uncertain about coming over here. And it has changed my life. I mean, you know, soulmate husband, that's one beautiful thing. But the way my life, the journey I've been on, would not have happened if I had stayed in Canada. And like, who knows where else I'd be. But I just can't unsee how following that thread that made no sense. Selling all of my stuff, getting rid of my apartment, literally felt like I was reverting back to being 18 again, starting fresh. Like we had nothing when we came here. Chris had been living overseas for like seven years. We literally didn't have a fork or bed sheets to our name, like starting from scratch, had no money, all of it. It was so illogical. And most people wouldn't have done it. And I'm so fucking grateful I've never been like most people. I'm so fucking grateful that I'm always willing to follow that intuition, that gut nudge, that thing that probably looks crazy to 99% of people because I don't want a life that 99% of people live. And we can't have one without the other. We can't have the magic. We can't have the synchronicities. We can't have the beautiful things come through us and for us that we could never in a million years manufacture, contrive, push, hustle for. I mean, you can, but it's gonna take a lot of fucking time and energy. And it's never gonna be as good as if you allow yourself to operate from a higher state. And it's just not how most people operate. So we have to be willing to do the things that most people don't do. I don't know where that came from, but apparently you need to share it. So, you know, this retreat is not your typical retreat. This is not, this is not a business retreat. I mean, I feel like that's obvious. And it'll be the thing that grows your business the most. This is not a productivity retreat where you're going to be taking a million notes and we're going to be scribbling out strategies and teaching at you. And it's going to be the thing that creates the biggest ripple effect in your life. This is not going to be some surface level workshopping where, you know, you feel nice, and then we send you away and you're back to day-to-day life. This is going to be something that creates the foundation for everything to flow. And we're going to be giving roadmaps and support as to how to carry this vibration through because there is integration required when you put yourself in environments where there is a large shift in frequency and energy that needs to be, it needs to be activated and it needs to be embodied and integrated. And I know that shit inside and out. This isn't the kind of retreat where it's going to be this cute little surface level woo-woo shit. Like my friends who I trust the most, or the only people I trust the most, who are also my own energy workers, support system mentors, are already helping to create the energetic infrastructure for this retreat because it is so important to have that kind of integrity in energetic containers and safety and boundaries for you to step in and truly feel safe and held so that what is meant to come through comes through. This isn't just a cute little weekend where we're going to be doing piecemeal meditations, lovely things like that. This is a pro, like I am walking you through a process. You're going to be stepping into your true becoming of who you're really meant to be. And that's going to look different for everyone. Different things will be activated, different things will be released, different things will be embodied. And we're keeping this intimate so that you have support throughout all of it. And, you know, there's so much I can say, but I'm not giving a lot of details around the exact structure, the exact workshops, the exact process, because part of the magic of stepping into a retreat, stepping out of your day-to-day is that it takes your brain out of the known. And in order to create new, you have to start rewiring from unknown. You have to start opening. That's what opens our consciousness and our awareness to hire different alternative optional ways for things to happen for us, for us to receive, and for us to really learn how to co-create, right? We can't create wild amounts of abundance, bliss. I don't just mean money. I don't just mean little shots of serotonin. I mean getting to live in the reality that things are just working for you because it is so fucking office, obvious to you, you can't deny it. That's where I'm at. Like I no one could convince me that we're almost not in a video game at this stage of my life. Because there are too many synchronicities. I have experienced too many wild things that have shown me otherwise. And transformation, when we expand our consciousness, when we're able to step into higher levels of being that allow us to truly be in this frequency where we allow things to work for us, where we're not run by our patterning, where our traumas and our fears and the things that have happened to us no longer dictate the way we react to the world. And we can truly start moving through the world from a place of real freedom where we have full choice to choose the way we move forward and thus are able to co-create at much higher levels. Because if we're running by our patterns, guess what we keep creating? The same thing. The same thing. And most people live their lives in that loop. And if you're listening to this, that ain't your path. That is not you. I can tell you with 1 million percent certainty, that is not your life path. That is not who you're meant to be. That is not what's here for you. You wouldn't be listening to this. This wouldn't be in your physical reality if that wasn't true. It's literally impossible. The reason you are craving more, the reason you feel a pull to step into a more truer, deeper, realer, more vibrant, more abundant way of being is because that version of you already exists. But we just need to clear out the shit that's convincing you otherwise. Again, the past, the trauma, the experiences you've had, the stories that you've been told, the beliefs that have been passed down to you from generations that are embedded in your literal cells. That is what we're clearing out. So there's more capacity and space for what's divinely meant for you to drop in. And we don't shift that through knowledge. We don't shift that through just, can you hear my feet are in the background? We're just gonna keep going because I'm I'm in a good run here. We don't just shift that from listening to podcasts, although you're a fucking smart cookie for allowing this information in and letting this resonate within you, because that's that's part of the work, right? But the big shifts do not happen by just passively consuming, they happen by showing our system a new way of being. So you can co-regulate to that. Like our nervous systems co-regulate to other nervous systems around us. And if you're a highly sensitive human, which you probably are if you're listening to this, you know that. Even if you don't know it consciously, you feel that, right? The same is true for your energy, the same is true for your frequency. When we put ourselves in a different physical state, it shifts our internal state. It shifts our emotional state. And guess what? The easiest way to shift our beliefs are we can only accept, believe, and surrender to information that is equal to your emotional state. And shifting your physical state is what shifts your emotional state, is what opens you up to new opportunities, new capacity. You know, people call this a frequency, people call this different codes. I don't get caught up in the language because it it I really that's just our human brains trying to make sense of what we don't know how to make sense of. Call it what you want, but that's what shifts everything. I have experienced it, I have seen it, I've seen it with clients, I've been doing this work for over a decade. And I am so excited to bring all of that together in one massively transformational weekend where the woman you walk in in is going to be so honored, so revert, so honored, thanked, and you know, given reverence too so that we can really see her, meet her where she's at, and allow her to feel safe enough to step in, to open up, to expand her capacity to receive what is waiting to drop in. And it is going to be fucking good. It's gonna be so much better than you can even conceive of. And I'm not saying that you're gonna instantly walk away and a million dollars is gonna fall into your lap. But the women who are coming are know that you know that it's a process. You will probably have a whole bunch of insight there, but it's about the runway we're creating for you to then take that, that grounded embodiment, that insight, that clarity, and really move with that to be able to step in to the new. And what a better time to do it. Like there is no better time to do it than as we're moving into December, as we're moving into the new year. I'm just so excited. The last thing I really wanted to mention is what it really means to step into a place where the frequency and the energy is held at a higher vibration, right? You can go and Google frequency, vibration. It's not a made-up thing. It's the most real thing. Everything has a frequency, we just can't see it. And as I said, one of my best friends who is an incredible, um, I've worked with her personally. She is a energy worker, a medium, and a psychic. She is currently helping me set up the energetic structure of the retreat to really hold you. What I want you to know, because this is something I see that is really done very haphazardly in the spiritual community and it bothers me deeply. I was gonna say another word, but we'll just say that because it's freaking unsafe, is that we I we're I'm leading this with safety and your well-being at the highest priority. And what I mean by that is we'll be making sure that you're fully empowered, that the energy is safe, that the space is safe, and that you are safe. And not only will we be taking care of some of that behind the scenes to make sure all of that is very anchored and real, but also really helping you understand your own hygiene around energy, around frequency, so that you can actually have the capacity to hold what's coming in and carry that through. And this is where I'm like, that might not make sense to all of you. That's okay if it doesn't. It doesn't mean the retreat isn't for you. Um, if you're really picking up what I'm putting down, it definitely means that you belong there. But regardless of what stage you're at, if that intrigues you, if that lights something up within you, that means you belong here. You know? So so many women are coming to this retreat ready. You know, I think so many of us are like, I'm gonna do my next level, I'm gonna plan out the next year, I'm gonna do this. That ain't it. This is about becoming the version of you who can hold that, embody that, and live it with ease. And this isn't about bypassing the human experience. Like when we talk about safety, we talk about stillness, so much of this weekend is really going to be helping your body recalibrate to being able to hold expansion without collapsing, right? If you are feeling called to lead with your heart, which you are, if you're here right now, the heart needs safety to receive. The heart needs to trust that what it can open up to and lead with, it is also protected by. So this is going to be done through nervous system work, movement and ceremony. We have some incredible rituals happening, incredibly nourishing meals with sacred space around that. Our beautiful chef is, I wanted to prioritize. Prioritize, gut nourishing, simple to digest, really grounding, nourishing foods so that your energy doesn't have to be spent on digestion. It can be spent on the expansion that it's opening up to. So I'm so excited. She's gonna be sharing all about the energetics of the food, too, which is like amazing. The beautiful gifts we have for you to make the weekend absolutely a 10 out of 10. Like I've considered everything from a body, mind, soul, spirit, all of those aspects. It's literally my dream weekend. And I am high maintenance. I'm high maintenance with luxury. I am high maintenance with the niceness of the environment. I am high maintenance with the energetics, with the nutrition. You know, I'm a I'm a high maintenance girl. I'm not gonna pretend I'm not. And this is literally everything I could imagine and so much more. And most importantly, you know, what I see to be true for so many women, especially moms, especially women that are the people who tend to be the spaceholders for others, the people who tend to just have people come to them for advice and for things, you know, what is often blocking us isn't something that is actually preventing us. It's not, it's not resources, it's not knowledge, it's not proximity, it's feeling safe enough to receive. And this weekend at the forefront is about you receiving. It's about you being nourished, you expanding your capacity to receive, you not feeling like you have to earn it to be able to receive love, care, you know, safety, security, expansion, all of that. And that's why it's edgy. That's why it, you know, that's why your brains want to pop off and say, not the right time. Unconsciously, that means do I deserve this? Don't have the resources. Unconsciously, that means I don't trust that when I pour into myself, I receive tenfold. What the last thing I want to say is whatever resistance story, maybe thing that's coming up for you that's telling you that you can't join. Maybe it is sisterhood wounds, not knowing who's going to be there. I am just as high maintenance about who I allow in as I am with the food I love to eat and the count of my threads and my bed sheets. I am not, we are prioritizing quality over quantity here. It's going to be an intimate group. And I promise you, you are gonna love these women as much as I do. The vibe is going to be a 20 out of 10, and you're truly gonna make soul sisters for life here. So if that is calling you, if oh, I didn't finish my thought there. I'm I say this with so much love because the more you learn how to follow these threads and get really curious about it, the more you're going to grow and expand your capacity to receive and really live on your highest vibration because scarcity limits don't actually exist. They're already there. Everything you want is existing at this very moment. The gap is clearing out the fears that are convincing you they're not there. And that's so much of what we're going to be doing this weekend. And so if you have hesitancy, I mean, reach out. I'll be very honest with you if I think this is the right thing for you or not. Number one. Number two, this is just a good exercise to do, anyways, because I promise it will reveal what's happening subconsciously or energetically in your system. What is the biggest story that's blocking you? Is it, I don't have the money, I don't have the time, I'm unsure about this, I'm not sure if this is for me. Will I be judged? Will people will I get along with people? Will this be whatever it is? Who would I be without that story? I want you to ask yourself that. Who would I be without that story? And if that is in alignment to the person who holds the things you decide to hold, that is your next growth edge. And chances are it is. Right? Usually the thing that is telling us we can't have what we want is the very thing that's being brought up for us to transmute it so we can step in to hold the capacity of what we want. I'll give you an example. Me hosting this retreat, my story was that doesn't make sense. It it isn't it isn't the most strategic profitable thing I could be doing. And guess what my lesson is and has been to learn? Logic means nothing. I am like a magical being who gets to create whatever the fuck she wants. My only job and my my gap, my lesson is to trust those nudges because those nudges direct me to so much more than my cute little brain could ever direct me to, than I could ever strategize. And I can tell you that already. Looking back over this year, there is no way that the synchronicities, the incredible women I've met, the community that I have grown, the women that are coming, just the people that have dropped in, the the companies that have dropped, all of the connections I've made and the synchronicities I've experienced has been wink after wink after wink from the universe saying, you're getting it slowly. See what happens when you trust me. See how much better it gets to work out. Let me keep showing you how good it can get. And of course, my fear and hesitancy was that it didn't make sense. I had to build the capacity for trust and faith in order to receive. And that fear brought that exactly up for me to transmute it. And I promise you, whatever is coming up for you, if you're feeling pulled to the retreat, is offering up the same opportunity for you. But you, my love, are the only one who can choose that. And that's the game of life. It's a good game. It's a trip. It's one hell of a and it's you know what it really is? It's the next level in the video game. So welcome. If you're ready to step into the next level of the video game, you really belong here. And I would love to spend a weekend with you, supporting you, nourishing you, helping you expand, and helping you see how good it gets to fucking be when you allow. Ah, okay. Um, as I said, we will be closing the door soon, just for final numbers. You have just over a week left. If you're curious, fill out the expression of interest. If you want to chat to me, DM me on Instagram. I can share what rooms are left. I can share a little bit more about the experience, I can share a little bit more about what to expect. And oh, I just can't wait. This is gonna be, I'm so excited for what's gonna unfold for all of us there. And I can't wait to see you there. Okay, sending you so much love. Bye. If this episode landed, it would mean the world to me. If you shared it on IG, don't forget to tag me and left a review on Apple Pod so we can spread this message far and wide. It means the world to me that you are with me, helping to collectively awaken everyone to their own innate power. So if you email a screenshot of that to hello at elisedaniel.com, I will send you a special align and abundance meditation to help you drop into alignment, reconnect with your intuition, and tune into your exact next soul led move. No strings, just my gift for you. Thank you.
