Mostly Aligned

Mostly Aligned is my cozy, slightly chaotic corner where we figure life out… mostly.I’m Lola — herbal tea alchemist, story-weaver, and someone learning to fully trust the Universe even when life feels messy. Here, I share my journey of starting over, navigating life’s twists and turns, and slowly finding my way back to myself — one messy, meaningful step at a time.The only thing you can expect here is literally the unexpected: intuitive nudges, energetic healing, grounding rituals, rest, reflection, momentum, full-circle moments, and the occasional cosmic detour. This is a space for noticing the small shifts, celebrating the wins, and learning that action doesn’t always have to be loud to matter.No perfection here — just curiosity, presence, and the reminder that being mostly aligned is more than enough. Grab your favorite bevy, settle in, and let’s begin

    EP16: A Day Late & Full of Airport Thoughts | Travel Day Experience

    Travel days are a mix of chaos patience and the weirdest thoughts needed to be shared!In todays episode I am a day late but it was a travel day lol. I am sharing my airport thoughts from TSA lines and flying nerves to seat situations turbulence and all the little observations that come with travel days. Basically everything my brain decides to overthink while trying to get from point A to point B without losing my carry on or my patience. It is a mix of brain dump and silly inner workings that show up when I am just trying to get somewhere.

    EP15: When Fear Meets Your Future Self

    You know those moments where you’re like, “yeah… future me can deal with that”? Yeah… this is about that. I’m sharing how avoiding small but uncomfortable things has been catching up to me lately, and what it’s been like actually facing them. From phone calls I didn’t want to make, to situations I let drag out longer than they should have.....this is me really seeing the pattern for what it is.This isn’t a “I fixed everything” episode......it’s me in the middle of it, learning how to show up for myself a little better. Giving myself grace, but also being honest about what it costs to keep avoiding things and sitting in that discomfort.And maybe just starting to make choices that future me will actually feel supported by.Thanks for hanging out with me on Mostly Aligned.If this episode made you feel seen, think a little differently, or just kept you company….following or subscribing is a small way to support the show and keep it going.

    EP14: Grieving the Relationship That Never Happened | Six Months of Mostly Aligned

    Six months into Mostly Aligned, I didn’t expect to be recording an episode like this.After the sudden passing of my grandmother, I found myself on a flight to Peru for her funeral — representing my father and meeting family I had never really known.In this episode, I’m reflecting on a kind of grief we don’t always talk about: grieving the relationship that never had the chance to exist.What started as a difficult trip became something deeper — moments of family, forgiveness, and quietly reconnecting with where my roots come from.And one practical lesson from the trip: if you’re visiting Peru in the summertime… bring antihistamines. The mosquitoes are not playingSo if you’re here, grab your favorite bevy, settle in, and let’s begin.Thanks for hanging out with me on Mostly Aligned.If this episode made you feel seen, think a little differently, or just kept you company….following or subscribing is a small way to support the show and keep it going.

    What does alignment actually feel like?

    EP12: Finding My Voice | Speaking from Love as a Latina American Woman

    In this episode, I share my personal experiences as a Latina American woman navigating fear, culture, and identity in today’s U.S. climate. I talk about reconnecting with my heritage, reflecting on what it means to honor my roots, and finding the courage to speak up — even when it feels risky.We dive into the idea of speaking from love versus responding from fear or anger, inspired by moments like Bad Bunny’s Grammy speech and Super Bowl performance. I also share the small rituals that help me stay grounded: journaling, connecting with family, and leaning into my spiritual practices.This episode is for anyone exploring cultural identity, self-expression, personal growth, and mindful action. I invite you to reflect on what “speaking from love” could look like in your own life and how small, intentional actions can create alignment, courage, and power in everyday moments.Whether you’re navigating identity, facing fear, or learning to stay aligned in a loud world, this episode offers guidance, reflection, and encouragement to embrace your voice with intention and humanity.So grab your favorite bevy, settle in, and lets beginThanks for hanging out with me on Mostly Aligned.If this episode made you feel seen, think a little differently, or just kept you company….following or subscribing is a small way to support the show and keep it going.

    EP11:Choosing Momentum over Perfection | Welcome to Season 2!

    Season two of Mostly Aligned starts here — and this chapter is about action.In this episode, I’m reflecting on the shift from season one’s deep introspection into something more embodied and lived. From full, love-filled holidays to getting sick alone, healing my body, and finding clarity in the least aesthetic moments, this episode is about choosing quiet momentum over perfection.This season isn’t about loud resets or “hot girl” transformations. It’s about wiping down the sink when you’re exhausted, leaving your phone at home on a dog walk, feeding yourself something decent, and showing up even when life feels unfinished.I share what turning 35 is teaching me — not as goals or resolutions, but as values I’m actually living by. Trusting my body. Respecting my capacity. Letting go of what falls away without over-explaining it. And choosing to participate in my life instead of waiting to feel ready.If you’re in that in-between space — where the old way doesn’t fit anymore, but the new way hasn’t fully landed — this episode is for you. This isn’t failure. It’s transition.Welcome to season two. We’re still gentle — just more grounded.Thanks for hanging out with me on Mostly Aligned.If this episode made you feel seen, think a little differently, or just kept you company….following or subscribing is a small way to support the show and keep it going.

    EP07: All the Feels (and Then Some)

    Feeling like a fish out of water lately? Dude same! This week, I'm feeling all the feels — from gratitude and connection to that weird, out-of-sync energy that sneaks up when life slows down.In this episode, I talk about what it’s like to feel a little like a fish out of water: craving nature, motivation, and meaning while also realizing… maybe it’s not about fixing the feeling, but listening to it.There’s a few “Cookie Monster without his cookies” moments, and a gentle reminder that even when you’re not fully aligned, you’re still growing — and that’s enough.Plus, a card pull to explore what else might be hiding underneath the funk.Thanks for hanging out with me on Mostly Aligned.If this episode made you feel seen, think a little differently, or just kept you company….following or subscribing is a small way to support the show and keep it going.

    EP04.2: Embracing the Unknown | Following the Call Up the Mountain

    In this episode of Mostly Aligned, I reflect on what it means to land on the other side of a nine-month medicine wheel journey — the growth, the grace, and the unexpected gifts that came along the way.From navigating the different levels of engagement to fully stepping into the role of mesa carrier, I do talk it out of what’s shifted internally and how the shamanic path continues to shape the way I move through the world.But it doesn’t stop there — because no sacred weekend is complete without a spontaneous mountain trip and a little reunion with my bestie and former roommates. This episode wraps with a warm, laughter-filled gab sesh about how we all met and what made that season of life so sacred.✨ Bonus: this is only part one of the gab sesh... more stories, soul talk, and snack-fueled chaos to come in a future episodeThanks for hanging out with me on Mostly Aligned.If this episode made you feel seen, think a little differently, or just kept you company….following or subscribing is a small way to support the show and keep it going.

    EP03: Choose You | The Cosmic Plot Twist

    Choosing yourself sounds simple, but it’s anything but — it’s messy, awkward, and sometimes downright scary.In this episode, I’m sharing my own journey of figuring out what it really means to put myself first — from juggling multiple jobs to starting therapy and taking big leaps into the unknown.If you’ve ever felt stuck or guilty about choosing you, this episode is a little nudge (with some cosmic vibes) to remind you it’s okay to take up space, say no, and trust yourself — even when it’s hard.Let’s get mostly aligned and just keep figuring it out, one step at a time.Thanks for hanging out with me on Mostly Aligned.If this episode made you feel seen, think a little differently, or just kept you company….following or subscribing is a small way to support the show and keep it going.
