What does it really mean to serve others, and how can we do it without burning ourselves out? In this final episode of the Autumn of Realignment series, I explore the fifth and final rule: serving. Over the past weeks, I’ve touched on energy, inspiration, action, and promotion. Now, it all comes together with serving—the practice that ties everything into a balanced and fulfilling life.

I dive into how true service isn’t just about giving to others—it starts with cultivating our own energy and grounding ourselves before we can genuinely help those around us. If you've ever felt drained from giving too much too soon, you’ll understand why self-care and boundaries are key to sustainable service. From serving your audience with valuable content to enriching your customers' experiences, and—perhaps most importantly—learning how to serve yourself, I share the layers of what it really means to live in service.

Are you uncomfortable with self-promotion? In this episode, I dive into the fourth rule of realignment: promotion—a topic that often gets a bad rap among creative entrepreneurs. Why does promoting your work feel so awkward, and how can you shift your mindset to embrace it?

Building on previous discussions about energy, inspiration, and action, I’m now tackling the key to getting your work out there. I break down five essential insights on how to make peace with promotion, recognise its value, and use it to nurture relationships with both new and existing clients.

This isn't about being pushy—it's about authentically sharing your expertise and ensuring your audience knows what you offer.

Ever feel like your daily actions aren't quite matching up with your bigger goals? In this episode of M Path, I dive into the idea of "aligned action" as part of my realignment framework. Coming off the back of some personal health challenges, I've been reflecting deeply on the importance of aligning our actions with our aspirations.

Today's focus? The third rule of realignment: action. But not just any action—it's about taking steps that actually move the needle toward what you truly want. Do you find yourself getting caught up in tasks that don’t seem to get you any closer to your dreams? It's time to take a hard look at that to-do list. Are you reacting to everyone else's demands or proactively working toward your own vision?

I'll explore how to perform an "action audit" to uncover where your time is really going. Is social media or client work derailing your progress? Learn how to set boundaries and focus on the actions that truly matter. And here's the twist: action doesn’t always have to be about hustle. Sometimes, the most important steps are the quiet moments of planning and creativity that set the stage for real growth.

By the end of this episode, you'll be inspired to map out three to five major goals and the steps needed to bring them to life.
