Room for Sunshine

What if the same trait that you've been fighting is the one that could help you breakthrough?

Often times we try to change the "ugly traits" of our personality or even avoid them rather than embracing our imperfections.

Tune in to this week's episode where Alyssa talks about the ugly trait that helped her become more confident.

In it you'll receive tips for a quick three minute meditation that can support you becoming more comfortable with the qualities that have been standing in your way!

Gratitude is all in these days...

You've probably heard about (or even own) a gratitude journal, practice gratitude meditations, send gratitude texts, or integrate gratitude into therapy.

But often it's the hardest bits to thanks that can open the most possibility.

In honor of the all-American holiday Thanksgiving, this week's episode is dedicated to looking at something in life that was challenging, and appreciating what it did offer you.

Alyssa vulnerably shares about a family tradition that is no longer, and how she holds gratitude with grief simultaneously.

Allow this gratitude Monday to ripple into your week ahead!

Have the current events of today's world got you feeling some kind of way?

Angry? Helpless? Confused? Unmotivated?

It's easy in today's climate to point to all the problems that exist in the outside world... politics, war, environmental crisis, and more.

But is it possible that the biggest challenge we need to face is the one that lives within us?

Join Alyssa this week as she talks about managing her own expectations for what helping and healing looks like, and offers a critical tool for taking care of yourself and your community in these turbulent times.

These mindful minutes will not only kickstart your week to be filled with higher potential, but they may even re-energize the way you consider your life and relationships.

Did you know that vision makes up 80% of how our brain processes information?

We sure didn't.

In this week's episode, Alyssa analyzes what's happening when we rely exclusively on the eyes to guide our lives, and how to become more in touch with the other four senses.

It's not just how we relate physically, but also a limitation on how much we can connect with the energies of the world at large to bring our big ideas, hopes, and dreams into reality.

Tune in to this ten minute episode for tools that will enhance deeper connection to yourself, situations, and all that crosses your path this week!

If you've ever had one of those weeks where death keeps veering its head, it's hard not to reflect on how we can make the most of this precious life.

In this week's light yet real discussion of death, we dive into giving power and attention to death in order to take more agency of our lives.

Alyssa talks about "dying cleanly" and closing loose ends so that not only are we free of regret, but also create space to enjoy more of our time being alive.

This week's reflection for you to think about in your own life: are there any relationships I can mend or things I need to give my attention to in order to feel more at peace today?

Have you ever felt like you were blocked by the own label you carry?

Feeling the weight of a part of yourself you associate with so deeply, even when it's supposed to feel good?

This week we talk about identity and disassociating with the parts of who we say we are that get in the way of who we actually want to be.

In this quick few minute reflection, Alyssa talks about grappling with her "identity" as a yoga teacher, why it's there, and why it's so hard to let go of.

As we all work towards more peace and freedom in our lives, we take an honest look at what's got to go in order to live as our truest selves.

Do you have anyone in your life who you overlap with like crazy? But who also drives you crazy?

A friend, a business partner, your boss, your neighbor, a roommate, a parent, you name it-- relationships can be messy. Which is why today we talk about how to untie the knots of toxic relationships little by little.

It's a slow burn not a blow it up in flames type of mentality. How can you come into the present moment, address what needs to be handled imminently, and then make a thoughtful game plan for yourself.

How do you know your worth, even when you've been made to feel otherwise?

All this and more on this week's podcast designed to support you in creating space and joy in your life.

Why is it so hard to give ourselves compliments?

Or better yet to be able to BRAG about our achievements.

We love humility, but if you've ever felt like being humble got in the way of being able to celebrate the things you do well, this episode is for you.

In it, Alyssa talks about her prior (and still healing) fear of hearing positive feedback and how to consciously start praising ourselves so that we can learn to accept when it comes from others.

Finding the time, the place, and the ability to lift ourselves up is part of what they call "doing the work."

In this Monday's episode, we do it together.

How do you feel about manifestation?

Believer? Skeptic?

Do you know if you're manifesting the "right" way, and is there really such a thing?

This week we are talking about living our dreams, walking the walk, talking the talk, love languages, and how to harness our inner power.

Rather than waiting for something to be delivered to your doorstep, we take matters into our own hands.

Spend ten minutes listening, and find yourself prepared to better align your actions and words with your goals. Who knows what waits on the other side?

Ever felt out of touch with your body?

Struggled with hormone imbalances, menstrual cycles, or understanding what's happening on a physical level?

Us, too.

In today's short and sweet episode Alyssa talks about women's health and her relationship to her body post getting off birth control. She discusses hormones in relation to mental and emotional health, and encourages you to spend a little more time understanding your own unique nuances.

We're all doing the best we can, let's be gentle and forgiving as we navigate this crazy organism that is the human body.

A small way to brighten your day this Monday, go ahead and press play.
