Welcome to disSOLViNG fear!

In this interview with author Dr. Robert Sardello and therapist Mary Jane Hooper, you'll LOVE our focus on living from the heart.

It is an honor to chat and meditate with these two people. They have been very dedicated to the field of spiritual psychology for many years. Plus, they're a cute couple!

Why love frees our soul from fear, and why both love and fear are helpful to us as our lives unfold.

Don't shame your shame! Feeling and healing shame and doubt.

The relationship between psychology and spirituality, as Dr. Sardello, James Hillman, and Carl Jung see it!

Hypnosis, Marisa Peer, Michael Yapko, and introducing our subconscious to supportive beliefs and ways of thinking.

SEASON 2, Episode 4

Welcome to disSOLViNG fear!

Last week, I talked with Kyle Cease! Kyle has been on the Lewis Howes School of Greatness Podcast and on the Ed Mylett Show. It was truly an honor to interview Kyle here at disSOLViNG fear.

Kyle is a transformational speaker and New York Times bestselling author who beautifully blends comedy and personal growth, in order to help people from all walks of life change their lives!

ONE life-changing practice that Kyle and I discussed in last week's episode was KYLEGO.

In this episode, I explain the KYLEGO practice, I demonstrate it by "kylego-ing" my own hopes and dreams for 2024, and then I give YOU 5 minutes to KYLEGO on your own, and focus on YOUR desired outcomes in life, and especially in the new year.

KYLEGO - You basically talk about your year (2024) or any outcome as if it's already happened.

You can KYLEGO how an event will go, how your day will go, or how your entire year will unfold. KYLEGO as if your outcomes are guaranteed! The practice is highly effective! It opens you up to breakthrough ideas, actions, and miraculous outcomes.

What if 2024 turns out even better than you imagine. Anything is possible and KYLEGO is a great way to brainstorm tons of possibilities for your best life. I hope you love this KYLEGO practice so much, that you make it a daily or weekly habit!

Enjoy!

SEASON 2, Episode 3

Welcome to disSOLViNG fear!

In this episode, I'm talking with Kyle Cease! He is a transformational speaker and New York Times bestselling author who beautifully blends comedy and personal growth, in order to help people from all walks of life change their lives!

Kyle Cease and I talk about:

Why Kyle left his Comedy Central career to become a transformational speaker.

The lie of "when _______ happens, I'll be happy."

We are all empowered and free, we're just addicted to sabotaging it and fighting for our limitations.

Shedding the opinions of others and following your heart.

Rather than focusing on goals and results, focus on being your true, most authentic self.

What is KYLEGO?

Miracles are confirmation that you're on the right track.

The importance of trying new things and following a calling when it hits you.

How Kyle Cease disSOLVES fear on the regular.

SEASON 2, Episode 2

Welcome to disSOLViNG fear with Miss Alissa!

www.missalissa.com

In this episode, I'm sharing a relaxing, guided EFT Tapping practice.

The actual practice starts 7 minutes into the episode, and it lasts 7 minutes (running from 07:00 - 14:00) in case you want to get right into it!

Studies at Harvard University have proven that tapping works. Below are a few websites to check out if you end up LOVING this episode and what it does for your body and mind. Let's tap! You'll feel more grounded and peaceful, because tapping frees stuck emotions and allows your energy to flow freely!

Resources for EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping:

https://www.peacefulheart.se

https://drkimd.com/eft-tapping/

https://www.thetappingsolution.com/

Tapping is a proven and popular tool! It combines talking (mindset) with tapping on your body (behavior). You validate your emotions while you tap on specific energetic points on the body. As you tap on these 9 points, your nervous system opens up and your body allows stuck energy and emotions to flow smoothly! It feels GREAT! Today's guided tapping practice will help you physically disSOLVE big emotions (anger, frustration, fear, anxiety), especially if you feel trapped in life at the moment.

SEASON 2, Episode 1

Welcome to disSOLViNG fear with Miss Alissa, where fear doesn't run the show, YOU do!

www.missalissa.com

In this episode, my guests include inmate Jennifer Hughes, Sheriff Karl Leonard, and HARP program manager Bailey Hilliard, MSW. HARP stands for Helping Addicts Recover Progressively, and one important component of the HARP program is EFT Tapping, also known as "tapping." Simple and effective! Studies at Harvard have shown that "tapping" helps people defuse many types of explosive, overwhelming, and painful emotions. Tapping can help us all whenever we're emotionally triggered and want to get grounded.

Tapping is a tool that anyone can use (kids, adults, inmates, anyone). YOU can use tapping to regulate your nervous system, disSOLVE stuck emotions, and feel more grounded - just by tapping a series of points on the body! Join us for some laughs, authentic conversation, plus a guided EFT tapping session right here in this episode!
