TL;DR: The author unpacks a real client story revealing how misaligned beliefs—not job performance—triggered a firing, showing how inner resistance creates outer conflict, and why alignment always tells the real story. This is part 3 of a 4-part story.
Let’s be honest—most people think they make employment decisions based on facts. Performance metrics. Deadlines met. Tasks completed. But the truth is, none of that matters when someone has already made up their mind about who you are.
That’s what happened between Jane and Sally.
Jane had been telling stories—persistent, loud, negative stories—about Sally’s value for a long time. “She doesn’t contribute.” “She’s not a good fit.” “She just doesn’t get it.” The stories were so dominant, they distorted reality. So when Sally delivered above and beyond on her latest assignment—breaking down content and building a customized database to store it—Jane couldn’t even see it. Not because Sally did anything wrong, but because Jane literally couldn’t see beyond her beliefs.
And here’s the thing about dominant beliefs: they create reality. Not in a metaphorical way, but vibrationally, tangibly, literally. Jane’s filter was so active that it collapsed the moment into something tailored to Jane’s filter: a task undone, value uncreated. So she did what matched her vibration—she decided to fire Sally.
This wasn’t about job performance. It was about energetic incompatibility.
Money, above all
Jane and Sally were no longer vibrationally aligned. Jane’s Belief Constellation had shifted to a place that no longer matched Sally’s presence. That doesn’t mean Sally did something wrong. It means the relationship had run its course. But most people can’t accept that. They want reasons, data, justification. So they turn misalignment into misconduct.
And when that happens, not only is the employee misunderstood, but the employer walks away from a learning moment that could have expanded them both.
Jane was feeling intensely negative about this decision. Why? Because her stories weren’t just about Sally’s work. They also collided with something stronger: her relationship with her partner, who is funding the business. For some time now, Jane expressed fear and insecurity about not living up to expectations her partner had for her performance and results of the company.
To mask that fear and insecurity, Jane made it about Sally’s performance. That was obvious, when her partner joined Jane and my conversation about Jane wanting to fire Sally. Jane’s partner was equally adamant. And of course he was: he had collapsed into Jane’s belief momentum. So all he could see in Sally was someone not delivering. That amplified Jane’s beliefs that she was right. All the while neither were very clear about what this was really about: money. An entire Belief Constellation about money.
Practicing What I Preach
Another subject drove Jane’s momentum of negative beliefs about Sally. This one was even deeper: their friendship. The discomfort she felt wasn’t about firing someone. It was about being out of alignment while doing so.
That’s why I insisted she get aligned with the decision before acting. Not because I was trying to delay her, although that’s what she thought I was doing, but because I knew if she made a decision from resistance, she’d attract more contrast. And that’s not what she wanted.
When people act from misalignment, they often think they’re taking control. But really, they’re surrendering to momentum they don’t understand. Decisions made from emotional turbulence usually just reproduce that turbulence in a new form.
As all of this was unfolding, I noticed a tiny twinge in myself. Another client had just told me they contemplated reducing their sessions for financial reasons. And now, Jane was about to fire someone whose sessions she was paying for. The old scarcity voice knocked at the door: “Will your income shrink?”
But I’ve been doing this too long to fall for that voice. I took myself into the park and soothed the belief. I reminded myself: money doesn’t come from clients. It comes through them. No, money comes from alignment, not people. People are the conduit through which it comes sometimes. But it can come in other ways too.
Divine, perfect unfolding.
And that alignment? I had it. Which is why, when Jane moved forward, I was able to stay steady. No panic. No worry. Just clarity. Sally might not be a client anymore, I thought. But something tells me this story’s not over. And as I worked with Jane – a very resistant Jane – and her partner to navigate their resistant turbulence, I felt awe about how so many things were going right, right in the midst of everything looking like it was going wrong.
In an additional call, Jane, her partner and I worked through some negative stories Jane had, mostly involving firing a friend. I knew much more needed addressing in Jane’s Belief Constellations. But those things would have to wait. For there was too much Belief Momentum on them to address them all at once.
The rest of the story unfolded in divine perfection. There’s still a LOT to be told. Including something that happened yesterday that I will add in a Part 5. But for now, stay tuned for Part 4, which drops tomorrow.
