Choosing Alignment: Discipline as Self-Love & Manifestation in the New Year | Aligned & Abundant Ep. 37

What if manifestation isn’t about forcing change—but about feeling safe enough to choose differently?
In this powerful January 6 episode of Aligned & Abundant, Christine Marcario explores how aligned action, nervous system safety, and discipline rooted in self-love create real, sustainable transformation—without burnout, pressure, or hustle.

This episode bridges manifestation, neuroscience, and embodiment, offering a grounded and compassionate approach to starting the new year in alignment rather than overwhelm.
