What happens when the world tells you to pick one thing—but your soul is wired for more?
In this raw and real episode, Alyssa Aviles shares her journey from burned-out employee to thriving creative entrepreneur. She opens up about the mental health battles she faced working in a toxic environment, the leap of faith that changed everything, and how stacking her creative talents (instead of choosing just one) launched her into a world of impact.
This isn’t just another business podcast. It’s a wake-up call to every creative who’s felt trapped, overlooked, or burned out. Alyssa reminds us that in a world chasing automation, your humanity—and your heart—are your greatest assets.
Alyssa Aviles (aka "the lovely Liss") is a multi-passionate creative director, Canva ambassador, ClickFunnels ambassador, and entrepreneur. She specializes in creative direction for six to eight-figure entrepreneurs, bringing stories to life through branding, design, and digital strategy. Alyssa empowers others to embrace their unique gifts and thrive without fitting into society’s mold.
Sometimes faith isn’t about a roadmap. It’s about obedience in the unknown. Alyssa’s story reminds us that when God says “leap,” He’s already preparing the landing.
Alyssa’s path shows that combining your passions—graphic design, photography, branding—can create a new lane where you don't have to choose between your gifts. You can integrate them for greater impact.
Your body knows when your soul is suffocating. Pay attention. Healing starts when you listen—and take bold action even when you're scared.
True leadership begins...
