Harmony Vallejo featured on Close Up Radio amid book and leadership push

Harmony Vallejo, keynote speaker and creator of The Alignment Code, was featured on Close Up Radio in an interview aired Sept. 25. The appearance spotlights her coaching framework, a forthcoming book, and a broader message that identity and self-worth should not hinge on professional outcomes.

Why it matters: - Harmony Vallejo is using her media appearance to expand the reach of The Alignment Code, a decision-making framework centered on clarity rather than pressure. - Her message targets entrepreneurs, leaders and nonprofit professionals who tie self-worth to results. - Vallejo is positioning alignment, not achievement alone, as the foundation for sustainable leadership and personal peace.

What happened: - Close Up Radio featured Vallejo in an interview with Jim Masters on Friday, Sept. 25, at 4 p.m. Eastern. - The segment highlighted Vallejo as a keynote speaker, author and creator of The Alignment Code. - Vallejo shared the personal story behind her work, including a 2014 phone call from her brother Aaron, who called collect from prison and asked, “How is your soul doing?” - Vallejo says that question became the origin point for The Alignment Code and a turning point in her life and business.

The details: - Vallejo spent 15 years building a business that served more than 20 markets across the country before that call changed her perspective. - A year after the call, Vallejo left a Fortune 500 client roster and started over with an organization that helps nonprofits with marketing and fundraising. - The new business began with one client and a folding table outside grocery stores. - Vallejo says the organization has grown into 11 years of steady work. - Vallejo is developing a book titled “All Is Well,” which draws on pivotal stories from her life. - The phrase “All Is Well” comes from the grandmother who came from California to Ohio when Vallejo was 12 and stayed to raise Vallejo and her brother. - Vallejo describes “All Is Well” as a practice of trusting herself to meet the moment without letting the moment define her. - Vallejo says, “Your outcome does not define you” and “The outcome isn’t your identity.” - Vallejo teaches the GRACE™ framework, which stands for Get grounded, Recognize what is true, Align with the next single step, Choose a better thought and Embody it. - Vallejo says the framework helps people separate their worth from their latest outcome. - Vallejo described coaching a young entrepreneur in her twenties who had built a seven-figure business but panicked after one unusually slow week. - After using GRACE™, the entrepreneur could see that one difficult week did not mean she was failing. - Vallejo also described coaching an entrepreneur who reached a long-sought professional milestone and felt empty afterward. - Vallejo asked that client, “Who was this achievement for?” - Vallejo says ambition is not the problem, but no achievement can make a person whole. - Vallejo also discusses “findable leadership,” a concept built around leaders being approachable. - Vallejo says reachability comes first, with honesty and patience following closely behind. - Vallejo is co-authoring “Beyond Your Wildest Dreams” with Marie Diamond, Dr. Joe Vitale and John Assaraf. - The book is scheduled for publication on Jan. 21, 2027. - The project’s original release date was Oct. 17, Vallejo’s birthday, which she had already referenced in her morning gratitude practice. - Vallejo says the experience reinforced a lesson in alignment without attachment. - More information is available through Harmony Vallejo’s website.

Between the lines: - Vallejo’s story is built around a familiar tension in business culture: high performance on the outside, emotional strain underneath. - Her framework reframes setbacks as data rather than identity, which makes the message especially relevant for founders, executives and nonprofit leaders under pressure. - The emphasis on approachability suggests Vallejo sees leadership as relational, not just strategic.

What's next: - Vallejo continues developing “All Is Well” and preparing “Beyond Your Wildest Dreams” for its Jan. 21, 2027 release. - Vallejo will likely keep using speaking engagements and coaching sessions to extend The Alignment Code and GRACE™ framework to broader audiences. - The podcast episode adds another distribution channel for her message as she builds visibility around her work.

The bottom line: - Vallejo’s pitch is simple: outcomes can inform you, but they should not define you. She is turning that idea into a brand, a coaching method and two books.
