📝 Episode Summary

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.


đź‘‹ About Our Guest

đź’ˇ Key Insights from Alyssa Aviles


  1. Stack Your Talents – Your unique combination of skills isn't a liability—it’s your superpower. When you stack them instead of silo them, you create uncommon value.
  2. Watch for Warning Signs – Ignoring physical and emotional red flags (insomnia, stomach issues, emotional breakdowns) can cost you your health, your peace, and your future.
  3. Take the Leap Before You're Ready – Growth rarely feels comfortable. Sometimes you have to quit before the “net” appears—and trust that God will meet you mid-leap.
