#295 Healthy, Not Hustled: Building a Lifestyle You Can Actually Live With- Guest Alisha Carlson

Hey Friend!

You are in for a treat today! I sat down with my friend, fellow neuro coach, and soon-to-be my health coach—Alisha Carlson—and we had a powerful conversation about what it really means to live a healthy, aligned life. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of diets, shame, or trying to force your body into something that doesn’t feel like you... this one’s for you.

We’re flipping the script on health. No more dieting from a place of pressure. This episode is all about self-awareness, grace, and learning to nourish your body for long-term impact—not short-term perfection.

“It’s not about what you’re doing, it’s about the heart and intention behind it.” — Alisha Carlson

Key Takeaways:

• Dieting is often just disguised pressure—we need to examine our why before chasing weight goals.
• Weight loss and fat loss are not the same. Prioritize strength and muscle-building over the number on the scale.
• Undereating and overexercising can stall your progress, not speed it up.
• Healthy habits are rooted in sustainability, not restriction.
• You don’t need to overhaul your life—small, consistent shifts are more powerful than crash diets or 30-day “fixes.”
•  

The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:

➡️ The mindset shift that transformed Alisha’s own journey—from obsessive dieting to building a strong, joy-filled life. Her “aha moment” in the kitchen will give you chills (in the best way!).

💪 Challenge for Listeners (are you in or are you out?)

This week, ask yourself honestly:

“Why am I pursuing this health goal?”

Then, shift your intention. Start fueling your body instead of punishing it. What’s one simple thing you can do to take care of yourself today?

Journal Prompt for Reflection:

“If I trusted my values over others’ expectations, what would I say yes to—and what would I let go of?”
