How to Follow What’s Alive

from Lightworker Diaries · host Tiffany Marlink

In today’s episode of The Lightworker Diaries, I share a deeply personal and timely transmission about creative evolution, permission to change, and the power of following what is truly alive rather than what is expected. This is a behind-the-scenes look at what it really feels like to shift identities, move through deconditioning, and honor the truth of your Becoming.You’ll hear me explore:* A pivotal moment from my days at Ernst & Young and the phrase that reshaped my adulthood: “I reserve the right to get smarter.”* How that truth now expands into “I reserve the right to do what I love” and “I reserve the right to change my mind.”* Why engagement on my Substack dropped in October and the deeper meaning it revealed about creative alignment.* The realization that outsourcing my written posts to AI was a sign my heart was no longer in that format.* The energetic difference between creating from obligation versus creating from joy.* Why podcasting currently lights me up more than writing and what that means for the future of the Lightworker Diaries.* Letting yourself evolve without guilt, shame, or attachment to old promises or structures.* The early whisper of a future Lightworker Diaries book and why the writing needs space to return with aliveness.Today’s invitation:Where in your life are you still operating out of obligation?Where can you reserve the right to choose joy, shift directions, or follow what feels alive right now?Subscribe to The Becoming SessionsIf you want to walk with me daily through this real-time transformation, you can join The Becoming Sessions. 👉 Click here to tune in todaySubscribe to The Lightworker DiariesRead my personal essays, channeled transmissions, and listen to the Diaries podcast on Substack: 👉 Subscribe to the Lightworker DiariesTools That Support This Podcast* Alitu – The software I use to record and produce each episode.Use my referral link for 25% off your first 3 months:👉 Check out Alitu* Hello Audio – The platform that delivers my private podcast experiences.👉 Check out Hello AudioSome of the links in these show notes are affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Explicit The Habitat Gimlet On a remote mountain in Hawaii, there's a fake planet Mars. Six volunteers are secluded in an imitation Mars habitat where they will work as imitation astronauts for one very real year. The goal: to help NASA understand what life might be like on the red planet—and plan for the day when the dress rehearsals are over, and we blast off for real. Host Lynn Levy has been chronicling this experiment from the moment the crew set foot in their habitat, communicating with them through audio diaries that detail their discoveries, their frustrations, and their evolving and devolving relationships with each other. From those diaries, Gimlet Media has crafted an addictive serialized documentary: the true story of a fake planet.
