Telling It Like It Is with Alysa

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Leslie Wilson, a resilient and inspiring woman who has completely rewritten her wellness story while living with Crohn’s disease. Leslie opens up about the challenges she’s faced, the pivotal moments that shifted her mindset, and how she turned her diagnosis into a driving force for transformation. From navigating flare-ups to finding the routines and habits that truly support her body, Les...

Your environment is always speaking, through the energy you feel, the people you’re surrounded by, and the standards you’ve been tolerating. In this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about how your environment shapes your mindset and momentum. But more importantly, I’m sharing three simple but powerful ways to shift out of a space that’s keeping you small. If you’ve been feeling stuck, drained, or uninspired, this is your wake-u...

This specific podcast episode is more than just a feel-good story, it’s a real-life example of what can happen when you decide to stop playing small. A receptionist at my dentist's office, heard her own potential reflected back in my words after listening to a few episodes, and instead of brushing it off or filing it away for “someday,” she made a decision. She got honest with herself about what she really wanted, and for the first...

If you want it bad enough, you have to be willing to do more than just talk about it, you have to move. This episode is your reminder that wishing, waiting, and overthinking won’t get you closer to the life, business, or version of yourself you say you want. At some point, the desire has to be backed by action. If it really matters to you, show up for it. Take the step. Make the call. Do the thing. Because wanting it isn’t enough, ...

Someday, maybe...these are the words that bury our brightest ideas in a quiet graveyard of intention. It's where dreams linger like ghosts, waiting for a time that never comes. We tell ourselves we’ll start that project, write that book, launch that business, someday. But without action, someday drifts into never, and the idea joins countless others lost to hesitation, fear, or distraction. The graveyard of unrealized ideas is ...

In today’s fast-paced world, we often push ourselves to the limit, ignoring the signs of stress and burnout. But constantly running on empty can lead to emotional, mental, and even physical breakdowns. That’s why it’s crucial to give yourself a break before you reach that breaking point. Stepping back to recharge, whether through a walk, a nap, or simply doing nothing, allows your mind and body to reset. Prioritizing rest isn’t a s...

In this episode, I am diving into the idea of letting people think you’re cringey and doing what you want anyway. So many of us hold back because we're afraid of how we’ll look, but here’s the truth: if you're never cringey, you're probably not taking real risks. Whether it's starting a business, sharing your thoughts online, or simply being unapologetically yourself, there's always going to be someone who doesn't get it, and that’...

In this episode, I am diving into how to declutter what no longer serves you, physically, digitally, and emotionally. From clearing out the physical clutter that's taking up space in your home, to curating your social media feeds so they uplift rather than drain you, to reevaluating relationships that may no longer align with your growth, I'm covering it all. You'll learn how to recognize what's weighing you down, w...

Too many of us are living at half-speed, showing up halfway for our goals, our dreams, and even ourselves. When you half-ass your life, you’re robbing yourself of the growth, fulfillment, and success you’re capable of. It’s time to stop settling for "just enough" and start demanding more from yourself because the energy you invest directly shapes the life you get back. This episode is all about taking full ownership, rais...

Are you staying the course or are you throwing in the towel? When it comes to staying the course, you have to keep your head down, push forward, and not give up, even when it’s hard. It’s easy to feel like your effort doesn’t matter, but every step you take, no matter how small, can make a real difference.

So often, we settle for what’s familiar or comfortable, not because it’s all we deserve, but because we haven’t seen what’s possible. This private jet experience shifted my perspective and reminded me that dreaming bigger isn’t just for a select few, it’s for anyone bold enough to believe there’s more. If you’ve been playing it safe, this episode is your nudge to aim higher.

Too often, we downplay our strengths, shy away from our potential, or let self-doubt keep us from stepping into our full power. But your talents, passions, and unique abilities exist for a reason. Lean into what you’re good at, refine it, and own it unapologetically. The world needs what only you can offer, and playing small serves no one. Growth happens when you show up for yourself, acknowledge your gifts, and use them boldly.

Are you someone who knows how to actually control the controllable? In this episode, I talk about focusing on what you can control instead of worrying about what you can’t. Life isn’t always easy, but you can choose how you react and what actions you take. Trust me when I say that once you control the controllable, your mindset will be in a much better place.

Stop living life on mute!! Too often, we hold back, silencing our true thoughts, desires, and passions out of fear, doubt, or the expectations of others.
