Changes with Alignment

A Season of Alignment, Courage and New Decisions

Take a breath with me…Let your heart settle into this moment.

This week’s blog post is a little different. It’s more personal.
It’s a reflection of my own alignment – and how truly living what I teach has brought me to a meaningful decision.

Because this is the truth:
When we consistently practice being in the present moment…
When we pause for a breathe or two and a brain huddle (those in the Personal Development Membership know what this means)
When we listen to the intuitive voice within us – and let our fears, emotions, logic and joy – all have a say – we can then choose awareness over reaction…we can choose to align our energy from root to crown…and when we stay consistent with these practices…clarity rises to the surface.

And clarity usually brings a choice.

A Choice From Alignment

Over the past month, I’ve been doing some deep inner work. I’ve been listening inward.
I’ve been working with my inner team – my patterns, my creativity, my fears, my courage, my possibilities, my passions and my deeper knowing. I’ve been moving slowly and honestly through each chakra, noticing where energy flowed freely, where it felt blocked and where fear was pretending to be logic.

And through all of this, something became very clear…

It’s time for me to invest in myself and my business.
To expand.
To grow.
To take what my ego might label as “risky” but what my Soul recognizes as necessary.

This is something I know will help me reach more people, share more teachings, create more impact – and it’s something that requires, energy and time I don’t currently have available.

So I had a brain huddle.
I checked in – practically, emotionally, creatively, spiritually.
I acknowledged that this next step will also require courage and a willingness to step beyond my comfort zone.

In many ways, I’m stepping out of my familiar “safety” character. The one that likes predictability and values stability.
And instead, I’m consciously choosing expansion. Not recklessness. Not burnout. But alignment with growth.

I’m choosing to do the same things I’ve always done – but in a new way. A more expansive way.

And once that clarity arrived, the decision became undeniable:

I’m doing it.

It’s exciting.
It’s stretching me.
And like most meaningful choices, it asks for space.

What This Means Moving Forward

For my members and clients, very little is changing.

My live online fitness, yoga, and meditation classes will remain the same, as this is the part of my business I’m most focused on building and growing. All live classes and recordings will continue – this is where my primary energy will be directed moving into 2026.

Behind the scenes, however, I’ll be expanding.
Learning.
Building.
Creating new structures that will support a bigger vision.

Because of this commitment to growth:

• The blog will now be shared once a month, focusing on one central theme.
• The weekly Simply BE in January will – for now – remain weekly (with small shifts possible over time)
• The weekly e-mails will be coming less – likely 1-2x a week
• All current live classes stay the same – with even more focus and intention
• One-on-one sessions (coaching & Reiki) will continue for current clients only.
• I won’t be taking on any new coaching or reiki clients until everything is built, integrated and aligned (likely 4–5 months)

So, while not much will change for you…
A lot will be unfolding for me, and all behind the scenes.

Wellness Defined’s Theme for 2026: Everything Spiritual

At the heart of everything I do is my love for spiritual practice – not in a bypassing way, but in a deeply grounded, embodied way.

Because it’s my spiritual commitment that allows me to live with clarity, joy, resilience and purpose – even and especially during chaotic times. I’ll be dedicating 2026 to this passion of mine. I’m calling it:

“Everything Spiritual”

I truly hope you’ll join me. (Click below for more information)

On-line it is on Tuesday’s at 11:00am.

In person is on Tuesday evening’s at 6:00pm in Edmonton

Why Am I Sharing All This?

I’m sharing all of this because I want you to know something important: I live what I teach.

I don’t speak about alignment, courage, clarity and energy work from a distance. I use these tools daily – to meet my fears, to challenge my limits, to expand beyond my own self-imposed boundaries.

This decision didn’t come from pressure. It didn’t come from panic. It didn’t come from obligation or “shoulds” – It came from alignment.

It came from the part of me that sees the bigger picture – from my crown chakra’s clarity, my Third Eye’s intuition, my throat chakra’s truth, my heart chakra’s love, my solar plexus strength, my navel chakra’s passion and from my root chakra’s grounded knowing.

It came from the part of me that is dedicated to my vision – the same vision that guides everything I offer:

To inspire myself and others to live our best lives – physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.

And here’s the beautiful thing:

Even when my life is full of chaos… I find joy and abundance in my life. Because spiritual presence makes room for everything to align and flow

Our Simply BE Intention this week (and for the rest of December)

Be in your own alignment.
Listen inward. Be kind to yourself. Hold space for YOU.
Your inner team knows – be willing to listen to it.
Your energy speaks the truth – can you hear it? Understand it?
Clarity is forming beneath the surface – hold space for yourself – so this can unfold.

This week:

1. Be still and willing to hear what is shifting inside of you.
2. Be brave enough to honor what you find.
3. Be willing to adjust your life to match the direction your Soul is pulling you.

And like me – you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need to be aligned enough to take the next step. Simply be with what is moving through you. It’s guiding you somewhere meaningful.

And finally… thank you.

Thank you for your trust.
Thank you for your presence.
Thank you for walking alongside me in this process.

I know how truly blessed I am to have you here – wherever you’re reading this from.

Merry Christmas my friends – Cheers to the best unfolding for all of us in 2026;

Leslie 💚❤️
