In this episode, Alissa dives into one of her core beliefs: that life is always working in your favor, especially when it doesn’t feel like it.

Through personal stories, spiritual wisdom, and honest reflections, she explores how setbacks, triggers, and everyday annoyances can be invitations into growth.

From ancient teachings like Buddhism’s lotus flower to her own journey with chronic illness and sleepless nights as a mom, Alissa shares how challenges can become catalysts for resilience, self-trust, and transformation.

This episode is a reminder that your hardest seasons often contain the very gold that will shape your most confident, unshakable self.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why highly sensitive people are impacted more deeply—but also benefit more fully—from life experiences
• How spiritual traditions across the world view struggle as a path to growth
• Why setbacks and “dark nights of the soul” can prepare you for your greatest breakthroughs
• A mindset shift that turns daily frustrations into opportunities for empowerment
• Real-life examples of how painful seasons can lead to unexpected miracles
