Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:21

Well, hello there, beautiful people. Welcome back to She Shines. This is Karen, Coach KG Gilliam. And I am real excited about what is coming up. So stay tuned. Today I want to talk to the woman who feels like she's standing still, even though she's doing everything she knows to do. And I want to share a moment in my own journey when I realized something surprising. I wasn't stuck at all. I simply was out of alignment. That realization changed how I live, how I lead, and how I coach women today. I'll come back to that in a few minutes. After last week's episode, and by now, as you see, it is just I having a conversation with you. And don't worry, we have one more bonus episode with us having a conversation. And then I have some guests lined up for March. So listen up and take notes because this is valuable. I'm sharing wisdom that I have learned through the years. So after last week's episode, high functioning but unfulfilled. Did you share that? Did you share that episode with a friend? Many women quietly recognize themselves in that episode. You know, you're showing up, you're responsible, you're doing what needs to be done. But internally, you're asking, why does progress feel so heavy? And most people label that feeling as being stuck. But I want to gently challenge that today. You're not stuck, you're standing at the doorway of alignment. As a matter of fact, I call it being in alignment with your assignment. There was a season in my own life where I kept asking God for clarity. Can anybody relate to what I'm saying? I wanted certainty, a full road map. And I wanted confirmation before I made any movement. Now, instead of answers, what I kept sensing was a quiet nudge.

SPEAKER_01 4:21

Take the next step.

SPEAKER_02 4:26

Take the next aligned step. Not the perfect step, not the fully planned step, just the aligned one. And honestly, that frustrated me at first. Have you ever felt frustrated because the answers you were looking for from God just didn't seem to be what you thought they would be? Many of us were taught to wait until everything makes sense. Another way to put it is wait until all the lights, the traffic lights are green. Well, come on now. Let's be for real. We all know when we travel in our cars, every traffic light is not going to be green. You're gonna get some red lights. You're even gonna get some caution lights. But growth rarely works that way. So here's what I've learned through coaching and through my own journey. Stuck is rarely about lack of ability. It's usually about misalignment. When your actions no longer match who you are becoming and life begins to feel heavy. Oh, you know the feeling. You overthink. You procrastinate. Here's Coach KG's definition of procrastination. Suicide on the installment plan. Mm-hmm. You put it off till tomorrow. You put it off to next week. Oh, I will be sure to get it done next month. And on and on. You lose energy. Not because you're incapable, but because your soul, your mind, your will, your emotions is asking for an adjustment, an alignment adjustment. You know, if you've ever gone to a chiropractor, they they adjust you so you'll be in alignment. So there are three areas of alignment. Let's talk about them. Alignment happens when three things come back into agreement. So you ready to take notes? The first one is identity. Who you truly are now. Not who you used to be. Many women are still living by expectations they've outgrown.

SPEAKER_01 9:08

The second area of alignment is your values.

SPEAKER_02 9:18

What actually matters to you today? Do you know what it is that you will not compromise on? And I'm not even going to ask you if you've compromised in your lifetime. We all have. Let's be honest. But right now, I want you to think about what values, what matters to you today? What is non-negotiable?

SPEAKER_01 10:04

And the third area of alignment is direction.

SPEAKER_02 10:15

Where is your energy going? When your time and your energy don't reflect your identity, exhaustion shows up.

SPEAKER_01 10:41

Alignment removes internal resistance.

SPEAKER_02 10:51

Did you hear what I said? Alignment removes internal resistance. And suddenly movement feels lighter.

SPEAKER_01 11:16

Sometimes we pray for clarity.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

I already told you, I did. But God invites us into alignment first. See, before you can have clarity, you have to be in alignment. Because purpose becomes heavy when we carry identities we were never meant to keep forever.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

What feels like confusion may actually be spiritual redirection.

SPEAKER_02 12:16

So let's close the open loop. Let's close, let just just listen to me for a sec. I know you've been listening, but I want you intently to listen right now. Earlier, I mentioned the moment I realized I was stuck. I was misaligned. And I'll be honest with you, it wasn't just one time. There were multiple times when I felt I should be here doing this, when I should be doing that. And I was misaligned. What I discovered was this. Nothing around me changed immediately. See, that's that's that microwave generation. Microwave thinking that your surroundings are going to change just like that. But the moment I adjusted how I showed up, clarity followed. Opportunities became visible. Energy returned.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Peace replaced pressure.

SPEAKER_02 14:12

And I'm happy to say today, and it's been a while that I've been in this place. That I am in alignment. Now let me be honest with you, alignment didn't give me all the answers. Nope, sure didn't. But what it gave me was the courage to take the next step.

SPEAKER_01 14:47

And that's, ladies, when everything began to shift. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 15:05

You know, I say I'm a transformational coach and a published author. I really think oh no. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. That leaves room for doubt.

SPEAKER_01 15:21

I really believe that my alignment happened when I started to write the book Queen Warrior Crown Bow.

SPEAKER_02 15:47

So I I'm I'm not gonna go into deep detail. But if you've been following She Shines with Coach K G since July of 2025, and as you hear me, and then as you listen to the interviews with the women that I've had the privilege of sharing with you, I believe you can see that I am in alignment. And one thing that I learned from my coach that I wasn't to keep the revelation to myself, I was to share it. I was to share it with as many women as I could.

SPEAKER_01 16:58

So here I am with She Shines with Coach KG.

SPEAKER_02 17:06

And with some other things that I'll talk about in just a bit in a little bit. But let's take a time to reflect. Can we do that? So I'm going to give you these questions that just like last week, I want you to sit with yourself quietly, uninterrupted, no distractions, and really reflect on your answers to these questions. Are you ready? All right, question number one. Where are you forcing progress instead of flowing in alignment? Where are you forcing progress instead of flowing in alignment? Question number two. What version of yourself have you outgrown? What version of yourself have you outgrown?

SPEAKER_01 18:38

And the last question, question number three.

SPEAKER_02 18:41

What step have you been waiting to feel ready for? Oh, you know, you we have to feel ready. So what step have you been waiting to feel ready for? Take some time with these questions. And if you would like to share your questions with me, feel free to email them. And the email address is coachkg the number 57 at gmail dot com. Just let me know who you are and the episode that you listen to and share. And I won't share with anyone else. They will stay with me and you. How about that? But I will be able to personally respond back to you.

SPEAKER_01 20:04

Okay. If something shifted for you today, that's not by accident. Awareness is so powerful.

SPEAKER_02 20:27

But transformation happens when you take a step beyond listening. What step are you going to take after listening to this bonus episode? With part three coming next week.

SPEAKER_01 20:51

That's exactly why I created the Essence Excellence Workshop.

SPEAKER_02 21:06

It's actually called the Clarity Reset. It is a live experience designed to help you move from feeling stuck into true alignment. I've been working on this for a while, and I can totally say with total honesty, I was spiritually inspired to do this. So together we walk through clarity, identity, and Actual intentional next step into a supportive and guided space. So if you would like to join me on Zoom live, there are two dates available right now, and we'll see how it goes after that. But the two dates are March 8th, which is a Sunday, and March 12th, which is that Thursday. Now, both sessions will be live at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central, and 4 p.m. Pacific. Let's see. I'm not quite sure of mountain, but if you're a mountain time, you'll know what time to show up. All right. If you are ready to move from understanding your patterns to actually changing them, I invite you to take that next step. You do not have to figure this out alone. You'll find registration details waiting for you in the show notes, and I would truly be honored to walk alongside you.

SPEAKER_01 24:02

I am truly in alignment with my assignment.

SPEAKER_02 24:11

And it is for me to share with as many beautiful souls as I can. So let me bring this episode, this bonus episode, to a close. I want you to remember this.

SPEAKER_01 24:35

You are not stuck.

SPEAKER_02 24:40

Did you hear what I said? You are not stuck. You are being realigned. And when that realignment happens, you'll be able to say, I'm in alignment with my assignment. So this is Karen, Coach KG Gilliam reminding you nothing changes until you change your mind. Keep rising, keep reclaiming, and always, always, always keep shining. Sending love your way. And I hope to see you at the Clarity Reset either on March eighth or March twelfth.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

Bye.

SPEAKER_00 26:00

Will you derive or let your spirit break free? You got power inside you more than you can see. Time to realign, reclaim what's meant to be. Living your heart is just too for power.
