In this first Friday Night Live of 2026, L. Michael Burt opens the Alignment Reset Series, a live extension of The ThriveWell Journey.

This conversation is for anyone navigating life after disruption, whether that disruption came through divorce, health challenges, loss, career shifts, or the quiet realization that who you’ve been no longer fits who you’re becoming.

In this episode, L. Michael speaks directly to the moment many people never name: when life starts running on autopilot. When survival patterns, old stories, and learned responses quietly take over and begin to feel like identity.

This session focuses on awareness as the foundation of purpose and explores:

• Why adaptation is often mistaken for identity
• How patterns formed during disruption can end up running your life
• The difference between what you experience and who you are
• What an Alignment Reset really means after misalignment
• How awareness restores authorship and direction

As part of this conversation, listeners are invited to access the first chapter of The Empowered Path, a companion workbook designed to support clarity, reflection, and intentional forward movement after disruption.

Friday Night Live is where community, identity, and realignment meet. New live sessions happen every Friday at 7 PM, with full podcast episodes released Mondays at 7 AM.

🔗When who you were no longer matches who you are becoming, this is your reset point. The Alignment Reset helps you realign with your future self and move forward with clarity. https://bit.ly/AlignmentReset

Discover how to separate experience from meaning and align with your future self in this transformative Season 1 finale of The ThriveWell Journey Podcast. L. Michael shares three powerful principles for becoming your aligned self right now, not in 2026. Learn why feelings aren't instructions, how to choose orientation over reaction, and the critical practice that makes alignment sustainable. If you've ever experienced yourself as a failure while building something meaningful, this episode reveals how disruption isn't designed to break you but to interrupt automatic patterns so something new can emerge.

Plus, get free access to the Alignment Reset course, designed for entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders who are overcoming burnout, navigating life transitions, and choosing sustainable success over the hustle culture. Perfect for purpose-driven entrepreneurs, personal development seekers, and anyone ready to stop repeating patterns and start creating from their future identity.
