From Rock Bottom to Purpose: Finding Soul Alignment After Everything Falls Apart

What does it actually feel like to be in alignment with your soul?Not perfect. Not easy. But real, grounded, and deeply earned.In this episode of Relentlessly Authentic, we dive into a raw and emotional conversation as I sit down with my co-host, Gabriela Verduzco, and explore her story—one of pain, accountability, healing, and ultimately, purpose.Gaby opens up about her past, including her experience with incarceration, and the ripple effect it had on her life and her family. We talk about the weight of guilt, the stories we carry, and what it really looks like to take responsibility for your life—without letting it define you.This isn’t a story of perfection or “having it all figured out.” It’s a story of becoming.Of facing the emotional toll of your past… choosing to forgive yourself… and doing the hard, honest work of breaking cycles.We also explore what it means to find your path through the very things that once tried to break you—and how self-discovery, truth, and resilience can lead you into a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and yours.Because soul alignment doesn’t come from avoiding your past— it comes from walking through it, owning it, and choosing who you become because of it.If you’ve ever felt defined by your past, struggled to forgive yourself, or wondered if you can truly change your life—this conversation is for you.Your past may shape you—but it doesn’t get to decide who you become.Join Rachael this Sunday April 12th, 2026 for Yoga, Pilates & Picnic —your new favorite ritual. Yoga.
