Alive and (sometimes) Well

Join us as we break down meeting each other IRL, and discuss secrets entrepreneurs are afraid to say out loud.

Join Alyssa in this solo episode where she shares the parts of healing that people don’t always talk about. That it doesn’t always feel good, that it’s cyclical and not linear and that as we grow and heal, old things come up to be dealt with. That it’s a beautiful thing we have expanded capacity to navigate them and it’s also okay to feel frustrated by this. She shares about her own relationship with healing, experience of burn out and fears around true, deep rest.

When we sat down to record this episode we both decided we had no interest in following the plan we laid out—so we just sat down and talked, like no one was listening. Join us in this peeled back conversation.

Join Rachel & Alyssa as they talk about sexuality, sitting with more questions than answers and the often confusing and not clear cut path to discovering this big piece of who we are. As Rachel says in this episode on sexuality, "It has nothing to do with business and maybe everything to do with business."

Alive and (Sometimes) Well podcast is a trauma informed business-ish podcast for folks who see life as art and covers all things business, relationships and mental health. 

In this Episode of AASW, Rachel & Alyssa share some of their favorite and best advice (along with some of the not so helpful advice) they've gotten over the years. Covering business, life and all the things in between. As you should do with all things and especially advice, take what resonates and leave the rest. 

In this solo episode, join Alyssa as she shares about the importance of having your own back, especially when you make a decision that other people don't like, agree with, understand or support. 

How can we root deeply into a choice we are making that is the most supportive for us, even when other people don't like it? What does it mean to really sink into our own inner knowing and wisdom and live a life on our own terms? 

Part rant but mostly pep talk. The invitation is to take what you need and what resonates and leave the rest. 

How do we navigate business when our life feels like it's burning down around us? Today Rachel and Alyssa explore what this can look like, and why.
