From Burnout to Balance: The Story Behind Simple and Aligned LLC

Predrag Vlatkovic Written by:
Today, Website Planet spoke with Sophia Ojha and Cristof Ensslin, the husband-and-wife team behind Simple and Aligned LLC—a digital media company helping people align their spiritual and financial lives. Drawing from backgrounds in finance, meditation, web design, and storytelling, they’ve created a platform that empowers conscious professionals to live with clarity, purpose, and inner freedom.

Can you please introduce yourself to our readers and share a few details about your professional background?

We are Sophia Ojha and Cristof Ensslin, a husband and wife team and co-founders of Simple and Aligned LLC—a digital media company focused on conscious living and wealth alignment. Our professional journeys are quite distinct yet complementary.

Cristof comes from a background in banking and investing. He holds a degree in Business Administration and has worked across various financial institutions before founding his own registered investment advisory firm, Pine Ridge Wealth. Over the years, he’s merged his financial expertise with his passion for meditation and spiritual growth. He is also the author of Long-Term Investing for Meditators, and he regularly publishes articles and videos on the connections between personal finance and inner peace.

Sophia’s path has been in the creative and entrepreneurial space. She started as a tour guide at the United Nations in New York and then built a successful solo web design business, growing it to six figures. She also has a degree in Film and TV production from NYU and a Master’s in International Relations. Her love for creative visualization, intentional living, and digital storytelling infuses everything she creates—whether it’s meditations, blog posts, or videos. She loves helping people connect with their inner wisdom through transformative processes such as visual journeys, creative visualizations, and journaling practices.

Together, we’ve spent nearly two decades engaging in annual introspection and conscious goal setting. Now, with Simple and Aligned, we’ve combined our strengths to help others find and follow their true North—both spiritually and financially.

As you mentioned, you are currently working on a new project called “Simple and Aligned”. Can you give us some insight into that? What can we expect from the project?

Simple and Aligned is the heart of our shared mission: to help people live intentionally, align with their deeper purpose, and experience both spiritual and financial fulfillment. It’s a platform that combines our diverse skill sets—Cristof’s background in personal finance and spiritual practice, and Sophia’s experience in digital creation, journaling, and introspective tools.

You can expect a range of deeply personal tools offerings—from creative visualizations and introspective journaling methods to wealth-building strategies, courses, books, livestreams, and online challenges. Everything is designed to support our community shift from feeling stuck to living a life of simplicity, clarity, and contentment. It’s about living simply, naturally, and spiritually—now.

Who is your targeted clientele for this new project?

Our ideal clients are professionals between the ages of 30 and 50 who’ve checked many of life’s “success” boxes—career, education, financial stability—but still feel a persistent nudge that something’s missing.

They may be feeling disillusioned with their careers or uncertain about their life direction. They’re seeking clarity, meaning, and a way to live more fully now—not later, not at retirement. Many of our clients are conscious professionals, budding entrepreneurs, or creatives who are interested in simplifying their lives, reconnecting with nature, and exploring spiritual growth. They want to cultivate a life that’s in deeper alignment with their values while enjoying financial ease and emotional fulfillment.

What will differentiate Simple and Aligned from its competitors?

What sets Simple and Aligned apart is the synergy between financial wisdom and spiritual depth, an integration of inner clarity and outer wealth.

Cristof’s expertise in long-term investing and financial strategy—paired with his experience as a dedicated meditator and teacher—offers a grounded, no-hype approach to wealth. Meanwhile, Sophia brings her gifts as a content creator, guide, and intuitive channel to help people connect to their inner voice, creativity, and purpose.

We’re not just sharing theories—we live this lifestyle. Whether it’s Cristof’s journey from disillusionment with finance to integrating mindfulness into money management, or Sophia’s path from burnout to creative flow and time freedom—our content and offerings are deeply authentic.

Plus, as a couple, we bring both masculine and feminine energies, logic and intuition, structure and creativity—offering a holistic, balanced approach to transformation.

Our content, courses, and coaching are rooted in lived experience, introspective practices, and real results. It’s not just about mindset or money—it’s about wholeness.

How much does your previous experience as a web designer working with online entrepreneurs help you in developing this new project?

This experience in running a successful web design business gave Sophia firsthand insight into the needs, struggles, and dreams of creatives and purpose-driven professionals—especially when it comes to monetizing their skills, overcoming mindset blocks, and simplifying their business models. She understands the importance of clear messaging, aesthetic design, and digital systems that support freedom and profitability.

This background allows us to create professional, beautiful, and user-friendly experiences—whether that’s our website, courses, or social content. She understands how to speak to the heart of our ideal clients and design experiences that feel intuitive, inspiring, and aligned.

Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?

We’d just like to add that Simple and Aligned is not just a business—it’s our way of life. We live by what we teach: through annual life reflection rituals, daily meditation, content creation from the heart, and aligning our lives more and more with our true North.

Whether you join us through a creative visualization, a financial workshop, or one of our digital products, you’re entering a space that honors both the practical and the mystical and moving into a life that’s intentional, intuitive, and liberated.

We believe that when you combine spiritual depth with practical strategy, life becomes not only more meaningful—but also more abundant. We believe you don’t have to wait until retirement to start living your purpose. The time is now—and we’re here to walk with you on that path, to help you experience this for yourself, one aligned step at a time.
