💭 What This Episode Is About

This episode is short, raw, and real. I’m in the middle of flight attendant training, away from home for a month, and I’ve been feeling a little unaligned and disconnected from what I truly want. I wanted to take a few minutes to talk about the discomfort of being in the “in-between” and why it’s okay to not have all the answers.

Even as a coach, I have seasons where I feel unsure. I’m navigating a lot of change right now, and I know I’m not the only one. If you’ve been asking yourself “WTF am I doing?” or feeling resistance when clarity doesn’t come easily — this one’s for you.

🔑 Key Takeaways

• You don’t have to have everything figured out

• Forcing clarity only creates more resistance

• Even people doing “the work” go through uncertain seasons

• Life is a never-ending journey of growth and expansion

Just because I’m a coach doesn’t mean I always have it all together. I wanted to be real with you in this moment and remind you that it’s okay to be in the unknown. There’s no shame in the in-between.

🔥 What We Talk About:

In this episode, I sit down with trauma-informed Akashic Records Practitioner + intuitive guide Heather Fox. This conversation is everything if you’ve ever felt stuck, like you’re doing all the mindset work, but still not seeing real change in your life.

We unpack how your identity—aka the lens you see yourself and the world through—may not even be yours. From childhood programming, past lives, to energetic entanglements with people you’ve outgrown… this episode is your full permission to drop the identity you were handed and try on a new one.

Heather shares her powerful story of living in survival mode, the moment she realized her identity wasn’t hers, and how she reclaimed her power by doing the deep energetic and subconscious work.

Whether you're navigating a life transition, stepping into a new version of you, or just tired of feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough”—this episode will speak to your soul.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• The #1 reason you're doing the mindset work but still feel stuck

• How your identity gets shaped by others—and what to do about it

• Why survival mode feels normal for so many high achievers

• Energetic blocks vs. mindset blocks (and why you need both cleared)

• How to try on a new identity without explaining yourself to anyone

• Reprogramming your subconscious & shifting your nervous system

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for evolving. Your identity isn’t fixed. You get to choose it—and re-choose it—whenever you want. Try on the version of you that feels fun, free, and true.

Episode Summary:

In this solo episode, Alescia dives into the real and raw side of life and business, breaking down the pressure we put on ourselves to have it all figured out. She talks about normalizing the normal shit—from bad days to feeling lost, to needing a part-time job while building a business. Social media makes it seem like everyone is thriving, but Alescia is here to set the record straight: everyone has doubts, struggles, and setbacks—and that’s okay.

She also shares a powerful mindset shift around detaching from outcomes and trusting the process, instead of forcing things to happen. Whether you’re working on yourself, growing a business, or just navigating life, this episode is a permission slip to embrace the journey, let go of the pressure, and move from desperation to trust.

🔥 Every day doesn’t have to be a good day – Trying to force positivity creates resistance. Feel your feelings instead.
🔥 Having a part-time job while building your dream is NORMAL – There’s no shame in needing financial stability while chasing your goals.
🔥 Feeling lost is part of the journey – Those moments of doubt often lead to breakthroughs. Even millionaires feel lost sometimes.
🔥 Stop trying to fix yourself – There’s nothing wrong with you. Instead of judging, bring compassion to the things you want to change.
🔥 Detaching from outcomes makes success easier – The more you try to force things, the harder they become. Move from stress to surrender.
🔥 Ask yourself: What do YOU actually want? – If you ignored what society says, what would truly light you up?

Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ Stop Fixing Yourself—You're Not Broken!
2️⃣ Success Isn’t a Straight Line: Normalizing the Messy Middle
3️⃣ WTF Am I Doing? The Truth About Feeling Lost & Finding Your Path
4️⃣ The Truth About Overnight Success: Why Your Side Job Isn’t a Failure
5️⃣ Detaching from the Outcome = Getting Everything You Want
