Ep 86 Healing from the Past: Turning Pain into Purpose with Head, Heart, and Hands Alignment
02/25/25 • 17 min
Welcome everyone to this week’s episode of the Alignment Way, where Jerry dives deep into a topic that affects many of us: how past trauma can hold us back from living our best lives. In this episode, Jerry shares insights and strategies to help you align your head, heart, and hands for a more fulfilling existence. Here are three key takeaways that we believe can make a significant impact on your journey:
The Importance of Mindset: Before we can address the pain in our hearts, we must first cultivate the right mindset. Understanding that our past experiences shape our present is crucial. By expanding our mindset, we give ourselves permission to confront the trauma that may be hindering our growth. This episode encourages you to ask yourself: What if my past traumas were not the limiting factors in my life? This question can open the door to new possibilities and a brighter future.
Embracing the Pain: It may sound counterintuitive, but running toward our pain is essential for healing. As Jerry discusses in the episode, the more we avoid our hurt, the more we drift toward hopelessness. By sitting with our pain and allowing ourselves to feel it, we can begin to process and heal. This journey requires courage, but it’s a necessary step to find hope and transformation. Remember, you have to go to the hurt to find the hope .
Transforming Truth into Action: Once we’ve acknowledged our pain and begun to heal, it’s time to take action. Internalizing the truth about our experiences allows us to change how we show up in the world. This transformation is not just about feeling better; it’s about living differently. By aligning our head, heart, and hands, we can create meaningful change in our lives and the lives of those around us.
We invite you to listen to this episode and reflect on these takeaways. Healing from past trauma is a journey, but it’s one that can lead to profound growth and fulfillment. Let’s take this journey together toward alignment and a life filled with purpose!

Ep 85 Achieve Balance in Faith, Relationships, Finances, Fitness, and Fulfillment
Hello everyone, we are excited to share the latest episode of The Alignment Way Podcast, where Jerry dives deep into the transformative power of a strategic 12-week action planner. In this episode, Jerry discusses how aligning our head, heart, and hands can lead to meaningful change in our lives. Here are three key takeaways that we believe can help you on your journey toward personal and professional fulfillment!
The Power of Short-Term Actions for Long-Term Vision: We often get caught up in the day-to-day grind, losing sight of our long-term goals. This episode emphasizes the importance of breaking down your aspirations into manageable 12-week cycles. By focusing on short-term actions, you can make significant strides toward your long-term vision. Whether it's improving your finances, nurturing relationships, or pursuing passion projects, this structured approach can help you stay focused and accountable.
Aligning Head, Heart, and Hands: True fulfillment comes from aligning your thoughts (head), emotions (heart), and actions (hands). In the podcast, Jerry explores how understanding what you truly want (heart) and developing a clear vision (head) can empower you to take meaningful actions (hands). This alignment is crucial for creating a life that resonates with your values and purpose. It’s not just about doing; it’s about doing what you love and what fulfills you.
Community and Accountability Matter: Change is often challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone! We invite you to join our Alignment Way Hub, an online community where you can connect with like-minded individuals and expert coaches. This supportive environment is designed to help you navigate your 12-week action planner, overcome limiting beliefs, and hold each other accountable. Together, we can foster growth in all areas of life—faith, family, finances, fitness, and fulfillment.
We encourage you to listen to this episode and reflect on how you can implement these principles in your own life. Remember, it’s not just about listening; it’s about taking action!

Ep 87 Master Your Finances with the 12-Week Planner | The Alignment Way
Hello, Aligners! Jerry is excited to share the latest episode where he dives deep into the transformative power of aligning your head, heart, and hands when it comes to your finances. Here are three key takeaways that we believe will inspire you to take action and create meaningful outcomes in your financial life:
Start with Your Heart: Money is often a reflection of our values and purpose. In this episode, Jerry emphasizes the importance of beginning with your heart. What impact do you want to make in the world? What does financial freedom mean to you? By connecting your financial goals to your core values, you can create a vision that drives you forward. Remember, it’s not just about accumulating wealth; it’s about using that wealth to fulfill your purpose and make a difference.
Create a 12-Week Action Plan: Once you have clarity on your heart's desires, it’s time to shift to your headspace. Jerry introduced the concept of the 12 Week Alignment Action Planner. This tool helps you set specific, achievable goals for the next 12 weeks. What can you accomplish in this timeframe? Whether it’s saving money, paying off debt, or investing in your education, having a clear plan will keep you focused and motivated. Your mindset is crucial—believe that you can achieve your goals, and then take actionable steps to make them a reality.
Take Action with Your Hands: Finally, it’s all about execution. Your hands need to do the work! Jerry discusses practical steps you can take right now, such as tracking your expenses, creating a debt payoff plan, and automating your savings and investments. These actions will empower you to take control of your financial situation and ensure that your money is working for you, not the other way around.
Join us in this episode as we explore how to align your head, heart, and hands to achieve financial peace and stability. Let’s transform our relationship with money from a source of stress to a means of fulfillment!
