Paradise Valley Retreat Drop-in with Annalie Howling: What Are You Protecting That's Quietly Costing You Everything

What if the very thing you’re protecting is quietly costing you everything?

In this episode of Aligned & Alive, I’m joined by my dear friend Annalie Howling, a globally recognized performance coach who works with elite athletes, former UK Special Forces, high-net-worth leaders, and individuals navigating major life transitions. Get ready for a powerful conversation about the stories we carry, the beliefs that shape our identity, and how shame and outdated patterns can keep us stuck in versions of ourselves that we’ve already outgrown.

We talk about what it really means to step into a new identity, how trauma and stress can impact even the most successful people, and why transformation doesn’t have to take years to begin. If you’ve ever felt that moment in life where you know you can’t stay where you are, but you’re not yet sure where you’re going, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why the stories we tell ourselves can quietly shape every area of our lives.
How shame and limiting beliefs can lead to patterns of self-sabotage.
Why high performers often struggle with asking for help.
How life transitions can create anxiety, identity shifts, and powerful opportunities for growth.
The difference between mindset work and true somatic healing.
Why community and safe containers can accelerate transformation.
How to identify the outdated beliefs that may be running your life.
Why real transformation requires integration, not just inspiration.
How reclaiming your power allows you to step into your next chapter with confidence.
