A vision two years in the making. 

Two lifelong friends. 

What happens when two different styles collide over a shared love for music, fashion, and creativity? 

For the first time in public, Off The Record Host, Alyssa Martin, introduces you to the faces behind Bolt, one of Tupelo’s newest and most talked-about businesses.

Monica and Morgan share how their friendship turned into a business partnership, the inspiration behind Bolt, and what it really took to bring their vision to life.

But starting something new doesn’t always come without noise. The three talk candidly about the unexpected social media backlash that followed their social media launch....and how they’re choosing to stay focused on the vision instead of the negativity, fueled by the overwhelming support from the community.

And don’t skip the ending of the episode! We go on the record with exclusive details about a big grand opening celebration for Bolt, you'll hear it here first!

Body image is shaping how an entire generation sees themselves. Younger teens are being diagnosed with body dysmorphia at alarming rates.

In this episode, Alyssa publicly shares her own diagnosis for the first time on the podcast, what it looked like behind closed doors, how it impacted her mentally and physically, and what recovery actually feels like.

We also talk candidly about GLP-1: the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable truths no one posts about.

This is an honest conversation about bodies, beliefs, and the stories we tell ourselves — with insight from Michaela, a local personal trainer, who sees it all firsthand.

As always, our DM's are open, if you have found yourself in a similar experience, feel free to reach out.

Welcome back to Off The Record 662 with your host Alyssa Martin, and her guest co-host, Sarah, for Dates, Disasters and Dumpster Fires!

It’s Valentine’s Day and we’re feeling… unfiltered.

Alyssa kicks things off with a hot take about something we can all practice more of: reading an opinion online and choosing peace by simply scrolling past it. 

Meanwhile, Sarah shares an unhinged Snapchat story reply from a full-grown man-child this Valentine’s weekend — a message bold, so baffling, it led to the easiest delete of 2026 (so far)....

AND because love is alive and well in the inbox… someone offered Alyssa $100 in an Instagram DM just to answer one simple question: “Are you single?”

Did she accept? Would you? 

We’re hitting the inbox, reading the chaos, and breaking it all down in this unfiltered Valentine’s Day bonus episode of Dates, Disasters & Dumpster Fires!

A big thank you to the podcast sponsors, who all make this possible!

Welcome back to a special Valentine's edition of Dates, Disasters and Dumpster Fires, with your Off The Record 662 Host, Alyssa Martin and her special guest co-host, Sarah Williams!

This is a special two-part Valentine's Day chat with Anne and Will Cockrell. Anne happens to be Sarah's older sister and Alyssa's childhood best friend!

To know them, is to love them and their love story. From high school sweethearts, to an (eventual!) engagement, and marriage, built on years of choosing each other. But their journey hasn't always been hilltops.

The couple opens up about their hard seasons too. Which includes infertility, foster care, miscarriages and child loss. This conversation is vulnerable, open and deeply human, a reminder that love is defined by perseverance. 

Grab the tissues, and we hope you enjoy this conversation for part-one. 

New Year, Real Fitness Goals kicks off Off the Record 662 with an exciting new partnership. Alyssa sits down with her friend, personal trainer, and business owner Michaela, owner of Gainz Haus Athletics, to talk all things health, fitness, and consistency in the new year.

Michaela shares how she got into the world of fitness, the challenges she faced along the way, and how the journey wasn’t always easy. From overcoming obstacles to recently opening her own private, home gym studio, she opens up about what it really takes to turn passion into purpose.

They also dive into realistic advice on how to start your fitness journey the right way and, more importantly, how to stick to your New Year’s goals without burnout or unrealistic expectations.

Plus, Alyssa shares her own experience as she begins training with Michaela after stepping back into the gym following recent health issues. Hear Michaela’s goals for Alyssa and how she approaches training with intention, patience, and sustainability.

Dates, Disasters & Dumpster Fires is back for Season Two 🎉
Off the Record Host Alyssa Martin is joined once again by her bestie Sarah for their series.

The best friends are making a strict, non-negotiable list of what is officially OUT, zipped, and no longer accepted in 2026. Some of these “outs” are serious (we’re ditching one sided relationships and recognizing red flags at the first sign) others are… absolutely not—like those creepy dolls Alyssa still can’t pronounce and frankly refuses to learn......

Expect hot takes, side-eyes, questionable opinions, and plenty of laughs.
Sit down, buckle up, and join us as we lovingly throw things straight into the dumpster 🔥🗑️

Season Two starts here.

In this first-ever solo episode of Off the Record, Podcast Host, Alyssa Martin, takes a moment to look back at 2025 —and what it gave this podcast.

From where Off the Record was one year ago to where it stands now, this episode is a reflection on growth, obedience, and the many people who helped shape this passion project into what it’s becoming.

Alyssa shares how her 2025 verse of the year proved itself true time and time again, often in ways unexpected, while expressing deep gratitude for the voices, conversations, and community that carried the first season forward.

Alyssa looks into what’s ahead—the goals for 2026, the heart behind Season Two.

This episode is honest, thankful, and expectant—a quiet pause before stepping into what’s next.
