You asked for peace, confidence, clarity, alignment. Beautiful! But are you ready to give what those asks require?
In this episode of Spiritual Growth & Wine, we’re uncorking the real reason your prayers, intentions, and manifestations come with resistance, and why that’s not punishment, it’s preparation.
We’re talking about:
-The sacred exchange behind every powerful ask
-What alignment actually looks and feels like (spoiler: it’s not all sunsets and sage sticks)
-Why comfort is the most expensive currency keeping you stuck
-A personal story about the level-up season that almost broke me—and how it gave me the sweetest rewards
-How to shift from “Why is this happening?” to “Ohhh, I see what I asked for…”
And because we never sip without meaning, this episode is paired with one of my few favorite California wines: Machete by Orin Swift. A dark, unapologetically bold red blend with risqué label art that perfectly mirrors this episode’s truth: asking big means rising boldly. And probably letting go of what was never meant to come with you.
Featured One-Liners to Sip On:
“You didn’t ask for easy. You asked for alignment.”
“Are your actions matching what you say you want?”
“You’re not being tested. You’re being invited.”
“More is a mirror, and it always shows you what’s in the way.”
If you've been saying you're ready to meet the version of you who can actually hold what you’ve been asking for, then hit the PLAY button right now!!! This episode is the glass-clink you didn’t know you needed.
