April 03, 2023 Interviewing THE Rasa Lukosiute of PURA RASA Meditations, www.purarasa.com
Welcome to "disSOLViNG fear with Miss Alissa!"
@miss.alissa.shirk on Instagram, TikTok & Facebook
Episode 32:
With 300,000 You Tube subscribers and millions of views, Rasa is a meditation powerhouse (at least that's what I'm calling her). We talk about morning meditations, short meditations, beginner meditations, and ways that meditation sets us up to flow through life with more ease! We also talk about Rasa's life. She has lived in Ireland, and currently lives in Lithuania and Bali. We discuss why meditation and yoga are such amazing, gentle and nurturing tools. We can use them as tools to observe our thoughts and connect with ourselves and our feelings that lie beneath our habits, conditioning, inner chaos, and the outside world.

Try meditation and use it as a tool to explore YOUR internal world, and what comes up for you! Rasa's website is below for you, and she also has a new app called Pura Rasa. I already found her new app and downloaded it to my phone! I've been doing Rasa's meditations for years. I also enjoy following her on Instagram. Her guided meditations are a wonderful way to give yourself a treat and a fresh perspective on where your mind and your life can take you! I had SO much fun talking with Rasa about disSOLViNG fear, and her life's work as a meditation teacher!

March 19, 2023 Talking with THE Anxiety M.D. (Dr. Russell Kennedy) about His Book, "Anxiety Rx"
Welcome to "disSOLViNG fear with Miss Alissa!"
www.missalissa.com
Episode 30:
Dr. Russell Kennedy and I talk about where our anxiety REALLY likes to hang out - in our body. Then, when we're triggered by stress or uncertainty, our anxiety (or A.L.A.R.M. as he calls it) travels from our body to our brain and gives us racing thoughts and worries. Dr. Russ (aka the Anxiety M.D.) and I have both helped people grow stronger and more resilient, despite anxiety, adversity and trauma. I worked as a trauma-informed public school teacher and Resilience Coach for 10 years. Dr. Russ is an expert neuroscientist and M.D. and we are so lucky to have him on the show! I open up about my racing thoughts. The doctor is IN and he's got answers to my questions!
Why are we anxious?
Why do we hold onto anxiety in our body and mind?
Why do we get stuck in analysis paralysis?
How can we heal our anxiety?

Welcome to "disSOLViNG fear with Miss Alissa!"

Episode 28:
I had the privilege of interviewing filmmaker, "TEDTalker" and podcast host Collier Landry about cultivating self-love and resilience after his own father murdered his mother. Tune in and find out why Collier actually believes he is one of the luckiest people on Earth.
He testified against his father, attended film school, and created the movie "Murder in Mansfield" as well as his podcast, "Moving Past Trauma."
Collier is a wealth of information when it comes to trauma, resilience, creativity, optimism, and enjoying life after adversity.
Instead of asking "why me?", he asks "what now?"

February 20, 2023 Intuition! Talking with Stacey Couch about Connecting to our Inner Knowing, our Highest Selves, Divine Guidance, and Nature
Welcome to "disSOLViNG fear with Miss Alissa!"
www.missalissa.com
Episode 26:
Stacey Couch and I talk about intuition, spirituality, and world religions in this amazing interview!
What's love got to do with intuition? Intuition is one way that we can connect to love and guidance from our Highest Self: God, Spirit or a Higher Power at work in our lives, influencing us and, in many cases, creating miracles in our lives through divine intervention and divine guidance.
"If prayer is you talking to God, then intuition is God talking to you" - Wayne Dyer
I don't know about YOU, but I have issues. Sometimes I default away from self-love, into negative self-talk, guilt, fear, procrastination, perfectionism, and just a general struggle to be present in the present moment. I found true peace at 16, in my first yoga class. My body finally found serenity and I felt at home and connected to love.
I'm interviewing Stacey about the many ways we can connect with ourselves and our intuition in prayer, yoga, and quiet moments in nature. Discover ways to connect with YOUR insight.
Stacey is so sweet, smart, and spiritual. Here's her info!

February 14, 2023 A Self-Love NSDR Meditation: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Welcome to "disSOLViNG fear with Miss Alissa!"
www.missalissa.com
Episode 25:

Enjoy this beneficial and refreshing Self-Love practice that I've created for you, just in time for Valentine's Day.
I've posted some links below that compliment the episode! NSDR (non-sleep deep rest) is simply the scientific term for two common forms of meditation: yoga nidra & hypnosis. Some people just feel more comfortable with the scientific term (NSDR) and the science behind the practice. Hypnosis has worked SO well for ME personally. I teach yoga nidra and hypnosis because I 100% BELIEVE in their benefits for your body and mind! They've benefitted me immensely over the years.
The Self-Love meditation is about 12 minutes long, and begins after an 8 minute intro. Enjoy the show!
