We’re dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, and Money — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing. Episode Summary After the longest break in Redefining Wealth history, Patrice returns with a deeply personal and powerful season opener. This new series, The Anatomy of Alignment, begins by unpacking the true cost of misalignment—not just emotionally, but structurally across every pillar of life. In this episode, Patrice shares how grief, release, and personal transitions exposed subtle but expensive misalignments in her own life. From relationships to work, from health to faith, she explains how misalignment drains peace, clarity, energy, and even financial well-being. You’ll learn why drainage is data, how misalignment shows up in the body before it makes sense in the mind, and how the Six Pillars of Wealth offer a framework to course correct before subtle dissonance becomes catastrophic. If you’ve been saying, “I just don’t feel like myself,” this conversation will meet you. Questions to Ask Yourself: Have I been saying, “I just don’t feel like myself”? What is that really about? What feels “fine” but not fully alive or aligned? Which pillar feels most off right now: FIT, PEOPLE, SPACE, FAITH, WORK, or MONEY? What have I been minimizing to avoid disruption? What is misalignment costing me that I haven’t fully acknowledged? Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself?

0:00.0	Alignment expands.
0:02.2	It expands your perception of what's possible for you.
0:05.5	It expands your creativity.
0:08.0	It expands what you're willing to do to get to the vision that you have for your career, for your business, whatever it is you do in the world to earn a living.
0:17.4	But misalignment will exhaust you every single time.
0:34.0	Welcome to redefining wealth, where wealth isn't just about money. It's about authenticity, alignment, and abundance. I'm Patrice Washington here to help you protect your vision and pursue the life you've truly been called to live, the one your soul has been yearning for. So without further ado, let's dive in.
1:01.0	You're listening to the Redefining Wealth podcast, and I am so glad to be back. I have not taken this long of a break from the Redefining Wealth podcast ever.
1:07.0	Since September 2017, I have been, if I took a break, maybe taking like six weeks, no more than eight weeks.
1:15.2	I think this time, it's over 12 weeks.
1:18.5	And I'm so grateful that I don't succumb to these false ideas of urgency and that I truly live my life from the alignment I want to talk to you
1:29.0	about because in the past I would have forced myself to start the first week of January,
1:33.4	even though internally I just didn't feel ready. And so today I want to talk about the cost of
1:40.7	misalignment because this entire season is dedicated to the anatomy of alignment.
1:47.8	I want us to dissect what alignment really means and what's staying in misalignment is doing to us
1:55.4	because the reality is there's no way to redefine wealth for yourself if you don't create a vision
2:00.3	that feels good to you
2:01.9	and then use the six pillars of wealth to align everything around you with said vision.
2:09.5	So let's dive in and let me just say this, even though I've been absent from the podcast,
2:16.1	I haven't been absent from the community.
2:18.5	Download the Redefining Wealth app right now on your Android or iOS device.
2:22.8	I still go live there every single Sunday at 3 p.m. Eastern. We still get together as a community
2:29.6	and have our book club conversations. We still support one another in our visions.
