  • EP 13: Why So Many Men Are Craving *Emotional Intimacy* (But Aren't Sure How to Get It)

    If you're craving deeper emotional intimacy with a woman - but keep getting friendzoned, attracting cold or emotionally unavailable love interests or feeling stuck in a relationship with a woman who doesn’t meet your emotional needs...this episode is for you.

    (Hint: it’s not because you’re “too sensitive.”)

    A lot of men confuse emotional intensity with real vulnerability + emotional intimacy.

    🔥 Ready to start magnetizing deep, mutual connection (emotional and sexual - instead of settling for one or the other)? We do this kind of work inside my new community space, where sacred ritual meets taboo, playful shadow work - and nothing is off-limits: 

    Join the waitlist for The Underground, my bold, edgy + co-ed spiritual membership, with practices rooted in Tibetan Buddhism.

  • EP 12: How to Be in Your Power (without being an A$$hole)

    What if reclaiming your power didn’t mean ghosting everyone to avoid conflict or swinging to the other extreme - being unnecessarily loud or aggressive? In this episode, we unpack *the messy middle way* between people-pleasing + ego-fueled power trips - and how to embody strength without closing your heart.

    🔥Tired of watering yourself down to fit in?

    Come find your people inside The Underground - A bold, edgy + devoted spiritual community membership where shadow + taboo is just as welcome as love + light.

  • EP 11: What I Learned Living with My Parents *at 40*

    Yup, you read that right...and I didn’t move in with my parents at 40 - I had to move back home in my mid-30s... and was STILL THERE 5 years later! 😭😂

    In this episode, I’m sharing what that season taught me about shame, power, compassion, devotion + the kind of spiritual initiation that's not sexy at all - but is a necessary catalyst. Especially when it looks like listening to your soul, even if it means rebuilding your life from rock bottom. 

    If you’ve ever felt like you're falling behind, failing at life or like your timeline is totally fucked - this one’s for you!

    → Applications for The Underground membership are now open! (we kick things off July 1st) 

    Apply here, starting June 16th: https://www.alisonlessard.com/tu

  • EP 10: Okay, So...Maybe Love *IS* the Legacy

    Something cracked open this week...holding my newborn nephew, watching men in my life healing + transforming (after years of pain) through the power of someone's unconditional presence (without all the expectations or judgments)...

    And I thought: maybe love is the legacy.

    Maybe your highest "purpose" isn't the hustle. Or the grind. Or what you're achieving on paper. 

    But just…to love. And be loved. 🖤

    (if you want to read the carousel post on Instagram I wrote about this, you can find it here)

  • EP 09: Bless the Hot Mess (*storytime*)

    Let’s take a little walk down memory lane…😂.

    This one’s about my own trainwreck rock-bottom moment (hint: Miami Beach...need I say more, lol?!) - and what happens when you finally start getting your shit together.

    Spoiler: it’s peaceful…but also weirdly lonely + boring sometimes.

    Let’s talk: spiritual AND sexual awakening (happening simultaneously), identity death, losing “friends,” [emotional + chemical] sobriety + why you might even miss the drama sometimes.

    The real shadow work? Loving your hot mess - so it stops running your life.

  • EP 08: "Compliments Don't Pay Your Bills": Own Your Worth + Power

    You teach people how to treat you! You set the tone. So, if you’ve been over-giving, over-explaining yourself, dimming your light, playing small or undercharging to prove your value (or feel "safe") - this episode is your reminder: Compliments don’t pay your bills, baby. This is a metaphor for LIFE, not just business. In relationships. With your time. With your body. With your self-expression.

    Power is a posture. Worth is a choice. And you've got to BELIEVE IT to RECEIVE IT (before "the proof" shows up). 

    🔥 P.S. A new private, members-only space is coming mid-May (and it’s not for everyone).

  • EP 07: Pleasure as Medicine (Especially When Life Gets Hard)

    When life gets heavy or you're in pain, most of us disconnect from pleasure - right when we need it most.
    In today’s episode, I share how pleasure can be a form of medicine: a way to anchor into your body, soften & stay present through grief, heartbreak & uncertainty.
    And let's be clear: this isn't about numbing out or escaping reality (aka: NOT harmful, destructive, distorted, unhealthy or unethical forms of "pleasure") - it's about holding the tension of opposites & reclaiming your ability to feel it all *while also* making space for joy & sensuality (instead of punishing yourself even more). 
    Let pleasure bring you back to life.

  • EP 06: You *Already* Know. You’re Just Scared to Trust It.

    You’re not confused. You’re just scared to trust what you already know.
    In this episode, we’re talking about the illusion of “not knowing,” why your intuition isn’t the problem & how avoidance often masquerades as indecision. If you've been overthinking a choice you feel in your bones—this one’s for you.

  • EP 05: If It Hurts...Why Can't You Let It Go?

    If you’re stuck in an addiction or painful habit - chasing the dopamine hit, obsessive thoughts, texting the ex, getting sucking back into cravings you swore you were done with - this one’s for you.

    I break down why we keep running back to the exact thing that hurts us (hint: it’s deeper than “bad habits”)... and share the Buddhist lens on how to break this cycle at the root.

    You’re not broken or weak. You’re just caught in a karmic feedback loop.

    But the good news? You can change your mind. Literally.

    🔥How? Come join my FREE 30-day Tibetan Buddhist meditation challenge, The Purification Portal.

    We start Tuesday, April 15th! 👉 Sign up here: https://www.alisonlessard.com/tpp

  • EP 04: It’s Never Going To Be "The Perfect Time" - So What Are You Waiting For?

    You keep saying you’re “waiting for the right time”...but what if that perfect moment never comes? In this quick episode, I’m spilling the truth about how we stay stuck in jobs, relationships or situations we’ve already outgrown—just because we’re too scared to get uncomfortable, face the unknown or make the final call.

    If you’ve been in analysis paralysis, hoping it’ll "magically feel perfect" to take the leap, this one's for you. It’s time to move—messy & all.
