In this episode of the Girl UpRising Podcast, I’m sharing one of the biggest, scariest, and most freeing decisions I’ve ever made! I resigned from my full-time job to fully walk in purpose and pour everything into my business and nonprofit.

• Why I knew it was time to leave
• How I trusted my faith more than my fear
• What it’s like stepping into entrepreneurship full-time
• And why betting on yourself is never the wrong move

Whether you’re feeling stuck in a job or standing at a crossroads, this episode is your reminder that your purpose is worth pursuing.

Tune in. Get encouraged. Know you’re not alone.

Often times we asked for blessings upon blessings...but are we willing to invest in our relationship with God? Are we willing to still remain faithful to him when we dont get what we want? It is hard. Life be Life'in. We have to make a commitment to stay to true to his promises even when we do no see what he is doing. God Loves Us. Remember that! Stay Blessed.

We discussed how she has cracked the education code. I asked her questions about her journey into her LSCW and realized that she started high school at 16 and is now in her doctorate program. She never stops learning!

The conversation shifts to the details of how she counsels children and couples and the steps to finding the right counselor for you. She speaks about trying multiple counselors, making sure your counselor accepts your insurance and doing the homework given by the counselor if you want to achieve optimal results from the sessions. 

One thing that Alise shared is that she is always reading at least 5 books at a time! She is so smart and her journey shows It.
