Hosted by Capri A. Taylor, this podcast offers life inspired insights, alternative perspectives, and moments to simply pause and take a breath. And honestly, in the future I’d love to answer questions, almost like a new age Frasier Crane! This isn’t therapy, but it could be a companion to the work you’re doing on your own or in therapy. Think grounded conversations, soulful nudges, and reflections that help you notice where you’re aligned and where you may have drifted a little. If you’re the strong friend who rarely gets a soft place to land, the person who’s been running on autopilot, or someone craving a deeper sense of self connection, this is your invitation to slow down and tune in. Episodes come out monthly-ish, mostly when I have something meaningful to say and the time to prepare it. The intention is to offer you space, alignment-centered reflections, and a moment to sit with the parts of you and your life that deserve your attention. https://minding-my-alignment.captivate.fmfalseepisodicnopodcastEpisode 1. 2 Back for the first timeEpisode 1. 2 Back for the first timeBack for the First Time walks you through how life led me here again, why this moment felt like the right moment to come back, and what shifted between the private Episode 1, "the golden ticket", and the public Episode 1.2, Back for the First Time.

I talk about what Minding My Alignment is, why I created it, and how I’ve been practicing alignment behind the scenes long before I knew what to call it or slowly decided to share any of it publicly. This episode is part explanation, part reflection, and part invitation, especially for the people who might benefit from following along as I mind my alignment and potentially begin to more intentionally mind their own.

We look at how our values, thoughts, and actions work together, why feeling a little “off” doesn’t mean something is wrong, and how misalignment tends to whisper before it starts raising its voice. This is a simple, real‑life reflection on what alignment is, how to notice it, and why it matters as you navigate your own path.

I planned it when I created my life schedule at the start of the year, and that schedule worked long enough to show me it works if I work it.

Since April is Stress Awareness Month, this felt like the perfect time to pause and look at what worked, what did not, what fell off, and so far the first thing on my Q2 list, is simply finding my schedule again and putting it back in place. The fact that this check in was on that original plan, and I am here doing it, tells me I'm still in the plan.

If you have been moving with good intentions but inconsistent follow through, this is your reminder that you can pause, reset, and come back to what you created without completely starting over.

During Stress Awareness Month and counseling awareness month, she explores how stress, executive overload, anxiety, and even outgrowing your surroundings can mimic ADHD symptoms. ADHD is absolutely one of the possibilities, but not the only one. Capri shares how these patterns show up in real life, how they can overlap, and why slowing down matters before jumping to conclusions. This episode is a grounding reminder that your symptoms are information, not a verdict.

She talks about how movement helps regulate big emotions in real time, why walking absolutely counts as exercise, and how consistency has been quietly shifting her stress threshold, her schedule, and her overall sense of alignment. Capri also shares her long‑term vision for the Minding My Alignment podcast and group... a future retreat‑style space in a beautiful location where people can find alignment together and then return home with tools to maintain it. Study referenced: A year‑long clinical trial published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science found that participants who met standard aerobic exercise guidelines (around 150 minutes per week) showed lower long‑term cortisol levels... meaning the participants baseline stress response improved over time. The study suggests that regular movement provides both immediate stress relief and lasting physiological resilience.
