Alignment Over Algorithm: Building a Soul-Led Business
with Katie McLaughlin
Chasing algorithms is exhausting.
Building alignment lasts longer.
In Unscripted Brilliance: The PodMatch Edition, Katie McLaughlin challenges the idea that success has to come at the cost of health, values, or personal fulfillment. Her chapter explores what happens when entrepreneurs stop forcing growth and start building businesses that actually fit who they are.
Katie shares how embodied leadership, intentional decision-making, and honoring energy create sustainability not just profit. This isn’t about rejecting strategy. It’s about integrating it with self-awareness and purpose.
This chapter is a quiet but powerful reminder that success doesn’t have to feel like self-betrayal to work.
