A fan favorite series, dates, disasters and dumpster fires, returns for August!

Are you actually chill or just hiding your needs? Why do we hide our needs to keep the peace? 

Instead of jumping into a dating story time, Alyssa and her guest co-host/bestie, Sarah, are defining who the “chill girl” is, what her traits are and how this persona has shown up in their relationships.

Plus, Alyssa finds herself back in her "healing era"... a place that's all too familiar...*sigh*

Join Alyssa and Sarah for this unfiltered and authentic conversation. Drop a comment below! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to the podcast on Spotify so you never miss a new episode!

It’s one of Tupelo’s biggest fundraisers for the Boys & Girls Clubs for North Mississippi, Dance Like The Stars, is coming up August 8th.

In this episode, Dancing for a Difference, Alyssa who is a former celebrity dancer and current event host, shines a spotlight on two local celebrity dancers, Liv Wellborn and Hillary Headings, as they share why they said "yes" to stepping onto the dance floor in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of North Mississippi. 

From being recruited for the fundraising event, to taking on the challenge of raising a minimum of $10,000 each, the two open up about the commitment, the purpose behind their fundraising, and the impact they're hoping to make for local youth. 

It's an inspiring conversation about giving back, community, and how every step can make a difference.

It’s not too late to grab your tickets for the event!

Alyssa is joined by Michaela, Owner of Gainz Haus Athletics, for a July health conversation, covering some of today's biggest women's health topics. They kick things off with a candid look at Alyssa's health struggles and the lasting effects she's still navigating.

Then, they dive into two words we're hearing more than ever—perimenopause and menopause—and discuss what they really mean.

From a trainer's perspective, (we are NOT medical professionals!) Alyssa and Michaela share practical ways to build strength, support hormonal health, and create a solid foundation now that can benefit your body for years to come.

Whether you're in midlife or planning ahead, this episode is packed with relatable conversations and actionable takeaways.

Plus, don't miss a special announcement at the end of the episode!

Michaela shares details about an exclusive, Off The Record 662 August discount on personal training, a perfect opportunity to invest in your health and put these conversations into action.

An Off The Record series, Dates, disasters and dumpster fires, returns for JULY!

Alyssa is joined by her best friend and guest co-host, Sarah for their own story time.

Sarah kicks things off and shares an update on her own drama with a friend-boy, after finding out some surprising news on social media. Surprising to her, but not so surprising to others.

The best friend duo also confesses to one of their more questionable ex-era decisions.

While we don't recommend hacking an ex's social media, it did help in the healing process and still gives plenty of laughs. Proceed with caution!

Writing a new chapter, part two:

Alyssa and Steve Robertson continue their conversation, taking a deeper dive into Steve's role in the Ole Miss football scandal and the investigative work that ultimately uncovered escort service call logs on Hugh Freeze's university-issued cell phone. The discussion also explores the lasting impact of that investigation, the challenges of reporting on one of college football's biggest stories, and much more.

They wrap up the chat by shifting their focus to the upcoming Mississippi State football season, discussing expectations for the Bulldogs and what the defense must do to help write a new story in Starkville.

PART ONE: From addiction, to award-winning authorship, meet Steve Robertson.

In part one of Alyssa and Steve's chat, Robertson shares the story behind the byline. Known throughout Mississippi as an award-winning author and trusted Hail State athletics insider, Steve opens up about his battle with addiction, the life-changing impact of recovery, and how his journey led him to a career in writing. It's a candid conversation about perseverance, healing, and finding purpose in all seasons.
