Can’t Keep Pretending Everything’s “Fine” and I Need to Be Honest.

Queenssss…this has been a long time coming, and it’s time for me to be real with you.

For months now I’ve been in a season of uncertainty. Not burnout, not boredom but a genuine transition — the kind where you know you’re changing, but you’ve not fully landed in the new version yet. (The messy middle!!)

And while I’ve tried recording for the sake of it…

I’ve tried planning for the sake of it…

I’ve tried pushing through the resistance…

I’m finally at the point where I won’t and can’t do it anymore.

I am in a personal transformation phase spiritually, mentally, emotionally and even in how I see business. I know that clarity doesn’t come through forcing. It comes through quiet time, faith, stillness, and surrender.

Because of this, here’s what’s happening:

No more payments will be taken from 1st December.

You’ll still have access to everything already inside though. Every solo episode, every ad-free episode, the whole library.

I just won’t be uploading anything new while I’m in this “messy middle stage.”

It’s not ending completely and it’s definitely not gone forever but I can feel deep in my bones that when I come back… I’ll be coming back differently.

A fresh voice.

A deeper perspective.

More aligned.

More faith-led.

More “me.”

Right now, I simply need to step away from the noise so I can hear what God is actually saying to me next. I know there are some big changes & plans for me but I need to be patient and wait for them to land completely. 

It’s not that it was bad.

It’s not that you weren’t grateful.

It’s just that the season changed and that ‘thing’ didn’t fully align with you anymore. And that’s ok!  

Staying “for the sake of it” or trying to force it starts costing you your joy, clarity and authenticity.

That’s exactly where I am right now & I know I need to step back. 🧘‍♀️

I’ve recorded my final podcast episode (for a while) where I go into this in more depth. 

I’m excited about the future, I really am!!! There’s something new being shaped in me and I know it’s going to be big, even though I don’t fully know what it is yet.

Sometimes you have to step OUT of the situation so you can finally see the full picture.

• I’m still in the Members Club every single day
• I’m still coaching every Monday inside the membership
• I’m still hosting my live events in 2026 (Business & Bible, Goal Setting, etc.)
• I’m still mentoring, guiding and supporting you like always

None of that is changing at all.

I’m just creating space for the next version of my voice, my coaching and my calling to land before I speak openly on a public platform.

Thank you for supporting me so far in my journey & for being through this transition with me! And thank you for letting me be honest and for trusting that what comes next will be even better, deeper and more aligned.

I’ll be back, and when I come back, ohhhh I’ll be back with a bangggggg! (Not that you doubt that!)

Love always,

Alysha x

This week I’m joined by the incredible Sophie Swinscoe. An award winning educator, ex-salon owner and property queen, and her story is exactly what you need to hear if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, unorganised, stuck or questioning yourself lately.

Sophie built her entire career from scratch, through fear, doubt, burnout, motherhood and some huge identity shifts. And in this episode, she opens up about the decisions that changed everything for her stepping away from clients, closing her salon, rebuilding her business and finally creating the balance, freedom and confidence she always wanted.

If you’ve been struggling with money worries, a lack of clients, feeling all over the place, putting everyone else first, or doubting your own ability… this conversation will ground you, inspire you and remind you what’s possible.

Do you wake up already overwhelmed… scrolling your phone before your feet even hit the floor… reacting to life instead of leading it… feeling stressed, distracted, inconsistent, and wondering why everything feels harder than it should?

In this podcast, I’m sharing exactly why daily renewal will change the way you think, feel, show up, and run your business. I talk openly about my own journey from relying on manifesting to deepening my faith and how committing to just a few small, intentional morning rituals has genuinely transformed my mindset, my energy, and how I handle life’s battles.

You’ll hear the real difference between living in daily chaos versus grounding yourself each morning… why your mind, body, spirit, and energy all need attention… and how even 10 minutes of focus can shift your whole day. I also share the story of a client who went from feeling “useless” and overwhelmed to calm, consistent, and confident in just four weeks — simply by renewing her mind daily.

If you're tired of feeling reactive, stressed, or constantly behind, this episode will remind you that your power comes from the small habits you build, not the huge actions you force. Daily renewal isn’t a chore it’s your path to clarity, confidence, and emotional strength.

You’ve got big dreams for your beauty business, but you sometimes feel stuck, disorganised, overwhelmed, doubting yourself, and wondering how others seem to have it all figured out.

In this episode, I chat with Jessica White, who went from studying law at university to owning her dream salon and building a personal brand with over 200,000 followers. We dive into her journey from doing nails in her student flat to manifesting her perfect salon space, growing a self-employed team, and learning how to balance business, social media, and self-care.

Jessica opens up about the mindset shifts, daily habits, and lessons that helped her turn her passion into a thriving business. This conversation is packed with honesty, inspiration, and a reminder that success isn’t about luck it’s about consistency, clarity, and believing in yourself.

If you’re ready to stop doubting what’s possible for you and start taking action towards your next level, this episode will light a fire in you.

Be honest... when life throws its usual chaos your way… how do you react?

Do you spiral into stress, panic, and overthinking? Or do you take a breath, roll your shoulders back, and remind yourself that life just lives sometimes? 😅

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it means to “catch a beat.” Because truthfully. Business, family, and life aren’t always calm, aligned, or easy. Some days your kid’s ill, your client cancels, the bills land all at once, and it feels like the universe is testing every ounce of patience you’ve got. But here’s the thing… how you respond to those moments shapes everything.

I’ll share how I used to let every little thing knock me sideways. From cancellations to client complaints and how learning to regulate my energy changed everything. From running my business with more peace to showing up as a better mum, leader, and woman.

Because here’s the truth. Your energy is your business. When you’re aligned, calm, and grounded, your business flows.

Be honest with me… Is this you? Do you ever have that little argument with yourself something thats sounds like;

“I really should do that thing… but ugh, I just can’t be bothered right now.”

Maybe it’s hitting publish on that post you’ve been overthinking, Maybe it’s replying to the emails sitting in your inbox, Maybe it’s eating the meal that’ll actually make you feel good instead of grabbing the easy option.

Whatever it is, we’ve all been there. That moment where you know what you should do, but your brain’s like, “nah, not today.”

In this episode, I’m getting real about that inner wrestle the resistance, the procrastination, the mental gymnastics we do and the lesson that keeps me grounded every time:

You never regret doing the thing that serves you… you only regret not doing it.

Have you ever worked for someone who called you self-employed… but treated you like their employee?

Told you when you could work, what clients you could take, and left you feeling trapped in their business instead of building your own?

This was the reality for Cara. At just 16, she was told she was self-employed… but treated like an employee. She had to check with her boss before re-booking her own clients, was expected to run errands that had nothing to do with her business, and quickly felt trapped instead of free.
