Who would've thought that most of the world's problems stem from pathological masculinity? And we can trace it back historically to the patriarchal ideology and the impact on women and the planet that has been gaining attention in the last few decades.Do you believe that as a society, we are partially responsible for why men are disconnected from the heart and have lost awareness of their power? Are we guilty of passing on the belief there is a tiny box in which they should live? Men withdraw from their real emotions such as anger, shame about their sexuality, or freedom to grieve for fear of being judged. The distractions we have created have made it harder for men to decode signals from their bodies and understand them.Nevertheless, men can rediscover their energy and step into their wholeness and bring back their sensitivity amidst all the odds. Join us in this week's episode of Breakthrough The Ordinary Podcast and learn how men can have the support they need to deepen their presence, clarify their purpose, connect with their power, and have a deeper relationship with women.Tune in to another impactful episode of Breakthrough The Ordinary podcast.Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/bto These are some highlights you shouldn’t miss:01:43 - The breakthrough that shifted Jason’s life to extraordinary04:16 - What men need to do to achieve the breakthrough they want in their lives07:35  - How divine masculine energy looks like and how it relates to the evolving sexual orientations or gender preferences inside relationships12:31 - The undermined damage caused by pathological masculinity to the world16:40 -  Finding harmony and balance of your energy from within and finding the perfect energy dynamics with your partner21:24 - The benefit of knowing what would serve love and consciousness in a relationship in the present moment25:14 - The benefits of deep masculine embodiment work for men’s careers, wealth, and relationships29:36 - The keys to embodying masculinity and femininity and how to learn it faster than reading a whole book34:40  Why now is the best time to find healing for your unique self so you can show up with more love and consciousness Episode Challenge: 29:58Being inside men groups presents an opportunity to be around other men, interact and learn with them, and get that instant transmission of how awakened men embody their healthy masculine energies.Here’s what Jason suggests you can do:Find ways to get into spaces with people who have done a lot of deep work in energy healing.

They say life is a journey, just go through it without expectations and learn as you go along. But if you stall and get stuck along the way, ask yourself why. And there usually isn't an easy answer.In our past episodes, we have spoken with healers, coaches, and experts who talk about reprogramming, quantum healing, enlightenment, mindfulness, and an array of tools to help uncover past wounds and mental blocks. What if all these blocks root way back when we were not even clear of our capability of remembering?According to research, a growing fetus gains continuous awareness of its surroundings. It also has the ability to get signals of the mother's mental state 25 weeks into conceiving.So the questions go like this -"Do external events outside the womb affect the unborn baby mentally and emotionally? If yes, do the circumstances affect their decisions later in life?”Let Lori Reyes DeSanti give us a picture of how Rebirthing Breathwork heals birth trauma by breathing energy into the body.Tune in to another impactful episode of Breakthrough The Ordinary podcast.Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/btoThese are some highlights you shouldn’t miss:02:56 - How Lori’s breakthrough came about07:45 - Lori’s journey to Breathwork and Rebirthing14:12 -  Using intuition to choose the right breathwork when healing trauma and negative core beliefs18:46 - What happens after healing trauma and core negative beliefs?22:57 - How to keep people grounded and not get distracted and wander off from their intentions while in breathwork?25:17 - Asking why our body behaves a certain way during breathwork to uncover underlying negative emotions or thoughts28:34 - What are the benefits of breathwork?32:22 - A breathwork technique you can use anytime to clear your head, regulate your body, and take courage to move to the other side.Episode Challenge [32:22]Pay attention to your breath.Practice breathing wherever you are. Look at your feet and know where you're standing.Start counting your breath. Start breathing and just noticing.When you go to sleep practice, practice breathing.Lay down and only do it for 15 seconds.So the next time you do it, do it for 20 seconds. And it's all about noticing, and if you continue to practice breathing, it just feels better.Tag us at @Claudine.Chiaarmonte and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast. About the Guest:Lori Reyes DeSanti, MSW, CBW is a pioneer in the professional Breathwork arena.

In this world of duality, there is always the presence of good and evil, kindness and cruelty. Not all men possess a discerning mind to balance and equilibrate thoughts, perceptions, and beliefs around their surrounding world. Often, when conflict or negativity presents themselves,  our cognitive behavior tends to fight and disregard the underlying opportunities presenting themselves. It results in internal chaos. Aaron’s MissionAaron Kleinerman is a Transformational Tantric Coach. His mission is to help men transform their inner chaos to authentic power by mastering the duality of their human nature - the masculine and feminine principles inside. This enables them to realize and appreciate their receptivity, creativity and intuition. The mind being the gateway into the body, when it goes into that space of mastery, allows men to live a life of joy and embodied balance. He helps men into the deep remembrance of the wisdom of their soul and share their unique intelligence with the world. Aaron’s JourneyAaron Kleinerman is a Transformational Tantric Coach.

But what's not cultivated oftentimes is the meditative movement of the body. And now that could be dance, that could be movement or putting a pillow down in front of you and beating to a pulp. That could be like letting all of the anger, sadness, or expression of everything inside.In this episode, Aaron Kleinerman introduces the concept of everythingness and nothingness in which their union puts you on an embodied level.  Episode Challenge:Meditating which is mostly done sitting in silence and stillness is a beautiful, deepening of masculine energy to appreciate what is to be this pillar of presence. But what often isn't cultivated a lot is the meditative movement of the body. And now that could be dance, that could be movement that could be putting a pillow down in front of you and beating to a pulp. That could be like letting all of the anger, the sadness, the expression of everything that's inside.In this episode, Aaron Kleinerman introduces the concept of everythingness and nothingness in which their union puts you on an embodied level.   Here’s how Aaron describes his experience“The more I have come to honor, love, and appreciate the everythingness inside of me, then the nothingness to which I can experience has become more and more profound.They are seemingly opposite ends of the spectrum that unify in the field of love.Without one, the other has no contrast and meaning.With only one, then this human bodysuit can get lost in the oblivion of chaos or the lifelessness of only being empty.So, together, these two fields merge and play together to unify at the heart to help humans remember the pure joy of both, which circulate inside the fullness of being completely human and eternally divine.” Here’s what we invite you to try:Do the following practice in five and five minutes, ten and ten or twenty and twenty.The practice of everythingnessDo five minutes of everythingnessPut on a timer on your phoneAnd you just dance and put on musicYou just move, and you sway or beat a pillow, just letting out all of the stuffThe practice of nothingnessAt the end of when the timer goes offAnd then you just come into stillness, you come into presence.What you're doing is on an embodied level,You're training your body to be in the stillness,And you're training your body to be inside of everything.Felt the impact and profoundness of the everythingness and nothingness practice? Share with us your experience. It might be your first step into creating clarity and mastery of your inner self. Tag us at @iamclaudine and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast.  About the Guest:Aaron Kleinerman is a Transformational Sex and Relationship Coach, Facilitator & Speaker.

There is more to diet culture than what it looks like on the surface. For many women, there is a real struggle in keeping up with the perfect body image that was either ingrained in us through generations or a pressure we put on ourselves for different reasons.  The influence of mass media and social media marketing plants a strong subconscious desire that to be desirable and worthy, one must be within a specific weight range, body shape, or a prescribed look. We tend to measure ourselves through the measuring stick to create the perfect person.          But there is no one-size-fits-all standard for health and lifestyle. Over the years, following diet cultures, fitness, and beauty regimens have proven to be tiring and unsustainable. What happens when these norms do not sit well with our body structure and way of life?How do we drop these standards? Can we create our own measuring stick? Can we escape the endless hamster wheel of diet fads, fitness programs, and whatnot? If these don’t seem to work, then what will?Stay tuned and get some tips towards a holistic approach to health and lifestyle that would fit in regardless of what struggles and goals you may have. Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/bto These are some highlights you shouldn’t miss:01:23 - What breakthrough do people get to have so they can live the life they want?02:34 - How to change every moment so your life plays out how you want it to.03:52 - Seeing our reality from the outside so we can change our narrative.07:00 - Recognizing your real value over the superficial worth ingrained in us as a child09:47 - Finding the “happy weight” that you can effortlessly maintain.11:39 -  Unraveling the emotional or stress eater in you and finding the joyful movement to sustainably stay fit.17:29 - The real measure of health and fitness - it’s not on the weighing scale.21:38 - Loving your body and making peace with it: why it’s a must whatever fitness goals you have.22:53 - The difference between fullness and satisfaction.23:30 - The concept of body neutrality: Your body is not you.27:56 - The body shame culture and why it doesn’t make sense.30:42- How to break free from body stereotypes.

And are they representing you? Are they representing something that you want to be? Or, are they just showing you the perfect moments that are fractions of their life, and you have no idea what the behind-the-scenes look like? Claudine’s challenge:A healthy lifestyle may look different for every person. We came from different paths. Our bodies may have undergone different challenges that won’t be what it is right now if not for the rigors of life.Celebrate a win now that you have created your measuring stick.  This whole conversation imparts that we can either hand our power over and say,  “they have the measuring stick” or “I have the measuring stick to celebrate my wins.” Marc’s challenge:Find a small reason to celebrate, but also remind somebody else to celebrate even the littlest things so that we make it relational and that we don't always have to do it alone. Tag us at @iamclaudine and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast.  About the Guest:Amanda Hallam is a holistic health and lifestyle coach who helps women shake off the burden of diet culture.

Show Notes: There are a thousand ways to break down the elements of breakthrough or the absence of it. In our past episodes, we have sought answers from dozens of coaches, authors, and thought leaders about how they think people can achieve breakthroughs to live the life they say they want to have.In this episode, we have the pleasure of doing a deep dive on why it’s so difficult for people to cross the road from who they’ve become to who they want to be. Nick Pags drives home a clear point why people hold on to their current situation. You’ll be surprised the reason is “wildly simple.” People tend to protect themselves from the unknown, from the uncertain. As you tune in to this week’s episode with our guest, Growth Mindset Expert, Certified Behavioral Change Specialist, and Inspirational Live Coach, Nick Pags, Stay with us as Nick spills the beans on how he inspires his students to become who they want to be or better yet, limitless.This episode is like a bag of tools and methods you can use to step out of your comfort zone and discover what’s possible. Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/bto These are some highlights you shouldn’t miss:01:33 - How people can achieve breakthroughs so they can live the life they want.03:14 - The lies that people tell to themselves: The victim vs. the victor mindset11:51 - Stepping out the Wonder Wall: From “I wonder” to “what if I?”14:37 - What is Project Limitless?17:12 - The survival mechanism that keeps our freedom inside the wonder wall.23:13 - No secret sauce!

But we almost automatically choose to do what we’ve always done. We choose to go in the same direction. Why? Because it's our autonomic nervous system that tells us not to change course. It’s not safe. You’ve always gone this way. Even if that course never gets us to who we want to become, we go with it. As Nick Pags puts it - “We rather dance with the devil that we know than the devil that we don't.” Here’s how you’ll do it-This is where we STOP and ask ourselves the question, “ Is this a decision that's aligned with who I want to be? And the life I want to live?” We begin to take radical ownership and take responsibility for who we want to be.By not allowing tons of excuses to get in the way, we DROP our ego, the protection, the safety and comfort zone, the victim mindset, the resistance to change, and simply allow ourselves to the possibilities.Only by dropping those blocks, can we then ROLL with a new decision and a new experience. It may take you some time to make it because change is uncomfortable. But if you resolve to ABC -“act boldly consistently,” the more you make decisions that are aligned with the person you want to be, the more you take that simple action, the more your life is a byproduct of that experience, and the more you start to see that your world is now built on a foundation of not protection, but abundant aligned choices. What is it with your current situation that you want to stop and drop, so you can roll to a new you? Start by telling us about it and don’t forget to act boldly consistently! Tag us at @iamclaudine and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast.  About the Guest:Nick Pags is a Growth Mindset Expert, Certified Behavioral Change Specialist and Inspirational Live Coach, who understands the desire to change, why you don’t, and the mindset shifts needed to find success  in any area of your life.By applying the motivational skills he’s used as one of NYC’s top personal trainers and group fitness leaders to his behavioral change training, Nick inspired thousands of individuals - from peers in the coaching space to elite C-Suite executives – to unlock their potential.   He combines a unique mix of high-energy coaching and empathetic listening which naturally create a space for self-discovery that is as profound and exciting.  Throughout his private and group coaching, live events and corporate speaking, Nick affords his clients the opportunity to break through their old ways of being, rewrite the mental patterns that don’t serve them, and truly embrace their limitless potential to live out their most abundant lives. Find out more about Nick and what he does:https://www.nickpagsllc.com/ Follow Nick:https://www.instagram.com/iamnickpags/https://www.facebook.com/nicholas.a.paganelliListen to the Project Limitless Stories:https://anchor.fm/nick-pags5 Follow the Podcast: Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/breakthrough-the-ordinary/id1579129631  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7L6XsP0M87M8CX7AJ2LRS4  Google Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9DQ1V1NVR6agAmazon Music - https://q4k0kx5j.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fmusic.amazon.com%2Fpodcasts%2F05bbcd2c-1e6b-4d09-934e-4eac42e12362/1/0100017af9eb75aa-8c17c10b-25b5-4300-b24e-c002d99f89b3-000000/lIGTk2xPKpZbRH-tqg7FXsRKud4=229iHeartRadio - https://iheart.com/podcast/85365975/  Follow Us @thebtopodcast]: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebtopodcast  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thebtopodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/thebtopodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thebtopodcastWebsite - https://btopodcast.comContact Us - thebtopodcast@gmail.com   About the podcast: Are you ready to commit to your future self---if you are, Marc Chiaramonte, a creative entrepreneur, coach, and adventure seeker, and Claudine Chiarmonte, psychotherapist, coach & joy creator, are ready to take you on a journey of self-discovery to unlock your highest potential!

Many of us have “traveling with the family” on our bucket lists. We crave freedom from the 9-5 or the luxury of the four-day work week, but the systems and mindset that we operate on never get us anywhere near achieving them. What if you can achieve more of these results while working less time? At 41, published author, international speaker, and certified digital marketing strategist, Nick Cownie has figured out how he can travel the world, do awesome things with amazing people, and get paid for it. Quite different from the average business, Nick’s month looks like 10 hours of work per month delivering his services to his clients, and 30 hours dedicated to marketing and sales. He employs a pragmatic approach to life and his business methods take him and his clients to their point B faster. Over the years of his coaching experience, Nick developed simplistic NLP techniques of teaching people mindset strategies that are digestible in seven minutes on average, which he, later on, wrote into a book called The Seven Minute Mindset. In this episode, get nerdy with us about combining real-world practical structure and systems, best practices, NLP and hypnosis, and notable principles that create amazing results for people who are after achieving exponential growth.Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/bto These are some highlights you shouldn’t miss:01:32- What do you think people get to have as their own breakthrough04:33 - Nick’s definition of freedom08:45 - How Nick brings exponential growth to his clients12:47 - The fat-free NLP technique that helps people resolve their issues15:41 - Does Nick’s technique disrupt a pattern or create a permanent solution?19:01 - Nick’s coaching programs and some of his out-of-the-box consulting works26:03- Nick’s secret sauce to creating success for himself and his clients.35:32 - Traveling as a means to foster growth and change in people43:19 - Out-of-the-comfort-zone experiences that hit the mindset work home hard47:34 - Nick's simplified business growth tips (swipe this!)(02:43) Try This Mindset Work Our guest, Nick Cownie helps people break through to the next level by rewiring their brains, helping them build unshakable confidence, and destroying self-sabotage. In our recent episode, Nick shared with us an impactful yet ridiculously simple concept of CHOICE. Wanna try this quick mindset work? Here goes…Write the word CHOICE on a piece of paper, in capital letters so that the letters bleed through to the other side of the paper. Write it so that you can see through the paper, and then flip that paper over.Notice that it still perfectly reads CHOICE because of the way letters are formed. And so you turn it over and over and over, and every single time it reads CHOICE. And so the concept is there's always another choice, right? Nick commits to his belief that FREEDOM IS A CHOICE- and it's not a one-off choice.And it really does come down to the moment by moment choices with the criteria that you ask yourself –“Is this moving me closer or further from my personal definition of freedom and what that means to me in my life?”If you tried it, let us know what you think! Tag us at @iamclaudine and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast.  About the Guest:Nick is a certified NLP trainer, published author, international speaker, and certified digital marketing specialist.Nick is often brought in as the behind-the-scenes “secret weapon” to provide elite training and consulting, and his personal client list reads like the “who’s who” of the international business, sports, and entertainment communities.His background in Traditional Chinese Medicine has equipped Nick with the ability to identify patterns from disorganized business systems.

People go through cycles of abuse without knowing how they can end it. They saw it happen many times over before their eyes crossed generational lines. Then, they see it happening to their own family. That is a generational cycle- a “generational curse” to some.  Why is this happening? What is the explanation behind it? Does one have the power to know how it started, at least in his life? Is there a way to break the cycle? In this episode, trauma expert Bria Lyn talks about the logical scientific explanation about generational abuse and the technique she uses to calm the brain. The brain then can see clearly how it all began and allow the brain for subconscious reprogramming. Tune in and find out if you can do this yourself.  Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/bto These are some highlights you shouldn’t miss:01:21   How subconscious programming helps people realize when an abusive cycle started and how they can break it.03:03  What subconscious reprogramming is and how it works03:48  How reality is programmed in the subconscious06:32  How subconscious reprogramming operates07:58  Identifying subconscious blocks and reprogramming them (Secret revealed!)10:44  Get into the state of discernment and alignment15:18   How the mind works when it is prideful or humble.17:31   Achieve harmony with others by starting from within yourself22:50  How to arrive in the space of discernment and wisdom by avoiding distractions26:29  The snippets from Bria Lyn's book that tackles the influence of good and evil.27:06  What does the average relationship look like: love vs. lust.36:45  How one can be instrumental in breaking the cycle of abuse  Episode Challenge (32:41) If we don’t forgive, we hold on to the resentment. But as humans, try to understand that we tend to show up in the likeness of the person who caused us pain or hurt. We are not free from the risk of doing the same thing. How do we break the cycle of abuse? We pay attention to not being in the position of a predator. We don’t let our mirror neurons make us absorb the actions of our abuser and go through the same cycle of causing hurt to others. How do we forgive? We detach the person from the abusive action. When you finally do, find it in your heart to forgive the person (not the act). Think that he may be under the influence of evil or a subconscious block.  We encourage you to get deep into this reflection and embody what we have in our conversation of coming from a space of forgiveness and discernment. When you do, may you find spiritual freedom. Forgiveness is a process. It’s not something that happens overnight. If you try to do it, let us know how it made you feel or what it did for you. Tag us at @iamclaudine and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast.   About the Guest:Bria Lyn is an expert in trauma healing by reprogramming the brain to an unconditional state, allowing for complete mental, emotional and spiritual healing. The healing method allows healthy habits and boundaries to come naturally. Thus it creates healthy relational dynamics, along with financial and physical wellness. Bria doesn’t believe in charging a fortune for her services. She finds it to be her gift to the world, and it brings her joy to share this technique and see people’s lives change for the better. She believes that her service is worth five times more than what she charges.Offers:1 90-minute session- $1004 session package- $350Follow Bria Lyn on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/BriaLynConsultingco  Follow the Podcast: Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/breakthrough-the-ordinary/id1579129631  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7L6XsP0M87M8CX7AJ2LRS4  Google Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9DQ1V1NVR6agAmazon Music - https://q4k0kx5j.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fmusic.amazon.com%2Fpodcasts%2F05bbcd2c-1e6b-4d09-934e-4eac42e12362/1/0100017af9eb75aa-8c17c10b-25b5-4300-b24e-c002d99f89b3-000000/lIGTk2xPKpZbRH-tqg7FXsRKud4=229iHeartRadio - https://iheart.com/podcast/85365975/  Follow Us @thebtopodcast]: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebtopodcast  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thebtopodcastTwitter - https://twitter.com/thebtopodcastTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thebtopodcastWebsite - https://btopodcast.comContact Us - thebtopodcast@gmail.com   About the podcast:  Are you ready to commit to your future self---if you are, Marc Chiaramonte, a creative entrepreneur, coach, and adventure seeker, and Claudine Chiarmonte, psychotherapist, coach & joy creator, are ready to take you on a journey of self-discovery to unlock your highest potential!

What started as her consistent pursuit of self-awareness for Mary Theresa, coupled with a dash of the bravery of putting herself out there led people in her community into a journey of their own. In this episode, Mary Theresa Tringale shared with us the filters people have towards being accountable of their decisions, their qualms about answering the most pressing questions about themselves, getting a deeper sense and acceptance of what they truly want, ability to set boundaries to protect their energies, and their relationship with money. If you feel stuck doing the things that you aren’t happy about but unable to give up, you feel like your day-to-day life is a dull cycle of meaningless routine, you are wondering when you are ever going to find the one thing that will truly make your life happy, do you even know what you really want to be happy, — the first step to knowing is deep within yourself.  Tune in to this episode to get encouragement as to how you can move forward with that single step that will change the next days for you. Click here to listen to this episode: https://smartpa.ge/bto These are some highlights you shouldn’t miss:00:56  How Mary Theresa became an Accountability Coach from an Events and Sponsorship Manager08:13   The principles that guide Mary Theresa’s coaching work.14:27   The questions we can ask to come to the awareness of the control or the lack of control that we have over the things that happen to our lives.17:49   Journaling as a tool for self-awareness and effective ways of doing it23:04  Answering the most pressing questions about who we want or not want to be27:34  Power lists vs. To-do lists and the key to moving the needle on what you want to accomplish34:49  Why celebrating small wins is a huge must-have37:17    The way we treat money is how it treats us back  (You’ll find this amusing but true)37:17    The money mindset that lets us shift into the abundance space43:38   The kind of relationship that we want to have with money 48:45  Her definition of “love”49:20   What she considers her superpower50:54   The books that Mary Theresa reads53:23   The person with the most influence54:58   Words of wisdom: There’s no shame in asking questions or getting support in realizing your dream, your vision, or your purpose in life. Episode Challenge (32:41)We encourage you to rethink your relationship with money. And if you feel that money isn’t always enough, it hardly comes, and when it does, it always isn’t enough. Here’s something you can think about, say, and feel within you. Remember, it may not easy to change your relationship with money but you will do better with practice. —-------Money is energy. It is a cycle of giving and receiving. I am open to receiving money in whatever way it comes. And also willing to give it generously to those who need it. If I just take all the money and put it in my savings account and never spend it, I am breaking up that cycle.  I am confident in the value I deliver to my clients, and I know that my services are worthy of what I charge. I believe that money will come consistently because I appreciate its value and have a healthy relationship with money. I need money as much as I need water, food, and human connection. So if money were a person, I need to have a relationship with money. And like other relationships, it could be a loving one or a toxic one. That being said, I believe that money will flow through me. It loves me as much as I love it. I need it in my life.  Money is all around me, maybe just in another form. It keeps the roof above my head, fills my tummy, and makes my family comfortable. So I am always with money.—-------Let us know what you think about your relationship with money. What do you feel about this affirmation about money?Tag us at @iamclaudine and Marc Anthony at the @btopodcast.  About the Guest:Mary Theresa Tringale or M-T to her close friends is an accountability, success, and money mindset coach. She helps people rediscover who they really are and what they truly want out of life, and be unapologetic about it. She speaks about mindfulness, spirituality, accountability, mindset, habits, money, and everything in between. Before she pivoted into her coaching career, M-T had extensive work in media, events, and marketing. Her transformation was a result of her relentless attitude of rising into the occasion and the will to be in control during the most difficult moments before her father passed away.  Having found her true enlightenment and discovering her spiritual connection with life has been her foundation to being the powerful coach who helps people get accountable for having the right habits and mindset. She works one-on-one with clients and oversees her signature programs, the Aligned & Empowered Project and the Money Magnet Accelerator. The Aligned and Empowered Project (AEP) was borne out of her own lived experience and total life transformation that began in May 2019. It is a group coaching program designed to transform people’s lives by mastering their mindset, implementing consistent habits, and holding them accountable to their word - so they can lead the life of their dreams. This project brings together the key elements that helped M-T reach true alignment and clarity for the person she wanted to be in life - and now, along with her coaching team of experts, the AEP helps women have similar breakthroughs and transformations that create a ripple effect unlike any other. Learn more about Mary-Theresa Tringale and what she does.
