In this powerful episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl welcomes Janet Therese, intuitive guide and mentor for inner alignment, who helps individuals reconnect with their divine presence, clear limiting stories, and step into a more expansive, aligned life.

This conversation dives deep into intuition, energy, trauma, alignment, and what it truly means to live from your highest self—not from fear, conditioning, or outdated beliefs.

🌿 Meet Little Janet

Janet takes us back to her childhood, growing up in the 1960s with a unique blend of spiritual exposure and traditional upbringing.

Raised in an Italian Catholic household while also being introduced to metaphysical teachings through her father, Janet experienced a rare duality—structured religion alongside expansive spiritual exploration.

As a child, she was fascinated by both:

• The mystical world (inspired by shows like Bewitched)
• The creative, strategic world of marketing and communication

That early curiosity would later shape her path in unexpected ways.

🧭 A Life Between Two Worlds

Janet followed a traditional path into adulthood:

• Marriage
• Career success as a marketing executive
• Doing “all the right things”

But underneath it all, she always felt a deeper connection—what she describes as a vertical alignment with something greater.

Despite that inner knowing, she spent years operating in the “horizontal world,” trying to achieve, perform, and push forward without fully honoring her calling.

⚠️ The Wake-Up Call

When we ignore our alignment, life has a way of getting our attention.

For Janet, everything shifted in a short period:

• Increased work pressure and burnout
• Loss of both parents within two weeks
• A cancer scare
• Job loss shortly after

Her body and life forced her to stop.

She describes this as a “sit and stay” moment—a time where she had no choice but to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

During that period, she realized:

She was not living her soul’s path.

✨ Vertical vs. Horizontal Living

One of the most powerful concepts Janet shares is the difference between:

Horizontal Living
Constant doing, striving, forcing outcomes, and trying to control life externally.

Vertical Alignment
Connection to divine presence, intuition, inner knowing, and trust.

When we are vertically aligned:

• The pressure to control disappears
• Clarity increases
• Decisions become easier
• Life begins to flow instead of force

Janet explains that when you focus on alignment first, everything else begins to organize itself.

🧠 Clearing Stories and Energy Patterns

Janet’s work focuses on helping clients release what is no longer serving them.

She teaches that many of our struggles come from:

• Old stories
• Limiting beliefs
• Emotional patterns
• Trauma stored in the body and energy field

These act like filters—distorting how we see the world.

Through her process, she helps clients:

• Identify these patterns
• Clear them at an energetic level
• Reconnect with their true self
• Strengthen intuitive awareness

As those layers are removed, clients naturally become more aligned, calm, and confident.

In this episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl welcomes Dr. Brett Hill, chiropractor, speaker, and founder of Your Posture Program. Dr. Hill has dedicated his career to helping people understand how posture, movement, and neurological health are deeply connected.

From growing up in a small town to building a thriving chiropractic clinic and launching a global online posture program, Dr. Hill shares his journey into chiropractic care and how he discovered that posture is one of the most overlooked keys to improving health and preventing chronic pain.

Together, Pearl and Dr. Hill explore how everyday habits—especially the increasing use of phones, computers, and digital devices—are shaping our posture and contributing to many health issues people face today.

Meet Dr. Brett Hill

Dr. Hill grew up in a small town where staying active and playing sports was a big part of daily life. Early on, he knew he wanted to help people improve their health and initially planned to attend medical school.

However, watching his mother struggle with autoimmune conditions and seeing how traditional medicine often focused on symptom management rather than root causes pushed him to explore other paths.

That journey led him to chiropractic care.

After learning how the body has an incredible ability to heal when properly supported, Dr. Hill pursued chiropractic training with a focus on neurology and functional movement. His goal became helping patients address the root cause of their health issues rather than simply masking symptoms.

He started his practice in a small clinic with no patients, gradually growing it into a thriving health practice focused on helping people regain control of their health.

What Posture Really Means

Many people believe posture simply means sitting or standing up straight.

But Dr. Hill explains that posture is much more complex. It is actually the body’s ability to resist gravity efficiently and automatically through neurological control.

Our brain and nervous system constantly adjust posture while we sit, stand, walk, and move throughout the day.

The challenge is that modern lifestyles train our bodies into poor posture habits. Hours spent looking at phones or sitting at computers cause the body to adapt to positions that weaken the core muscles and strain the neck and spine.

Over time this can lead to issues such as:

• Chronic neck and back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Vertigo and balance issues
• Sciatica and lower back pain
• Shoulder tension and stress
• Poor breathing patterns

Dr. Hill emphasizes that many people attempt to correct posture by strengthening larger muscles, but the real solution lies in retraining the smaller stabilizing muscles and neurological patterns that control posture automatically.

How Technology Is Affecting Our Posture

Today’s technology-driven world encourages long hours of sitting and looking down at screens.

Children and adults alike are spending more time:

• Working on computers
• Looking down at phones
• Sitting for extended periods
• Using digital devices for both work and leisure

These habits cause the body to shift into forward head posture and weaken the deep core muscles responsible for stability.

Dr. Hill explains that the body is constantly adapting through a process called neuroplasticity, meaning the brain learns an

In this powerful and heart-centered episode of Soulful Self-Care Conversations, Pearl welcomes Ami Maikoski, quantum catalyst, transformational facilitator, leadership field architect, and executive partner devoted to awakening human potential.

Together, they explore identity, alignment, mindset, self-mastery, energetic truth, and what it really means to release the armor we’ve worn for years.

This is not surface-level self-development. This is about remembering who you truly are.

🌿 Meet Little Ami

Ami begins by introducing us to “little Ami” — a nature-loving, tree-climbing, fearless little girl from Michigan who felt most alive at the top of the trees, swaying with the wind.

She shares:

• Growing up in Kalamazoo and Mount Clemens, Michigan
• Being one of ten children
• Her fascination with the human body and the mind
• Joining the military when college wasn’t guaranteed
• Serving in the medical field
• Working alongside military leaders and supporting mission-critical operations

Even as she rose into executive corporate leadership roles later in life, there was always an inner knowing that something deeper was calling her.

🪞 The Mirror Moment

Ami shares a turning point — standing in front of the mirror one morning and not recognizing herself.

On paper, she was successful.
In reality, she felt disconnected from who she truly was.

That moment became the beginning of her transformation.

She realized the answer was not external — not in titles, not in roles, not in responsibilities.

The answer was within.

🛡️ The Armor We Wear

Pearl and Ami discuss the many identities women carry:

• The mother
• The wife
• The leader
• The caregiver
• The volunteer
• The achiever
• The fixer

Over time, we begin to believe we are the armor.

But the armor is not who we are — it’s what we’ve carried.

Ami explains that transformation often doesn’t require becoming more.

It requires releasing what isn’t yours anymore.

🧠 Mindset, Alignment & Software Upgrades

Ami describes her work as helping individuals upgrade their internal operating system.

She works with leaders and visionaries to:

• Step into self-mastery
• Align energetically with their truth
• Remove inherited or outdated belief systems
• Stop forcing and start flowing
• Reveal the genius already within

Her philosophy is simple yet profound:

You don’t need to try harder.
You need to stop carrying what isn’t yours.

🌊 Quantum Catalyst & Leadership Field Architecture

Ami explains that she doesn’t “fix” people.

She:

• Holds space
• Reflects truth
• Reveals potential
• Activates awareness
• Celebrates what already exists

She emphasizes the power of being seen, heard, acknowledged, and loved — what she believes is the greatest human need.

Her work isn’t about adding pressure.
It’s about removing distortion.

💛 Self-Care as Alignment

When asked how she separates business from self-care, Ami shares something powerful:

She doesn’t.

Who she is and what she does are integrated.

Before her day begins, she:

• Meditates
• Aligns with source
• Sets energetic intention
• Surrenders as a vessel
• Closes each interaction with gratitude and clarity
