Hypothetically Intentional
The Refined Sunday Soul-Session
Pull up a chair for a different kind of Sunday service.
I’m Michelle Aalbers, and on Hypothetically Intentional, we’re trading surface-level talk for soul-level truth. Every week, I dive into the question: What if we set intentions with everything we do?
Whether I’m hanging out with a guest or sharing a solo heart-to-heart, these are the candid, gritty, and beautiful stories of healing and wisdom that remind us we aren’t alone. We explore spirituality and purpose through real human connection—which means we laugh, we share, and we aren't afraid of a little tasteful cussing.
Join us every Sunday for a fresh perspective on living a life of purpose.
