After over 160+ episodes, this is officially the final episode of Telling It Like It Is with Alysa. In this episode, I reflect on the growth, lessons, memories, and seasons that this podcast has carried over the past 3+ years. From the evolving version of myself behind the microphone to the realization that sometimes we quietly outgrow things before we are ready to admit it out loud, this conversation is an honest reflection on endings, change, identity, and stepping into a new chapter.

So many people stay in situations, conversations, opportunities, and relationships far longer than they should because they are afraid of disappointing others or being seen as selfish. This episode is your reminder that if something is not a hard yes, it may actually be a hard no. I am diving into boundaries, people pleasing, trusting your intuition faster, and why “no” is a complete sentence. If you have been feeling stretched thin, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself lately, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I am continuing the conversation from last week’s episode about the month I fell short and diving into something I know so many entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners are feeling right now: discouragement. When we are not seeing results happen quickly enough on our timeline, it becomes so easy to question everything: our content, our business, our consistency, and even ourselves. I am talking about the pressure of building a brand online, the danger of attaching your worth to engagement and growth, and why so many people quit during the exact season that is actually building them.

I’m getting real about what it feels like to fall short of a goal and how quickly we can turn that into meaning something about who we are. I share my experience from April, where I set a revenue goal, didn’t hit it, and immediately put unnecessary pressure on myself to figure out what I was doing wrong. If you’ve been feeling like a failure because a month didn’t go as planned, this episode will help you ground yourself, trust the process, and refocus on what truly matters.

In this episode, I’m taking a step back to reintroduce myself for those of you who are newer here and share exactly what I do and how I support business owners. I walk through my journey of leaving my full-time 9–5 to go all in on my business, my approach to social media, and why so many people feel stuck when it comes to their content. I also break down the three ways you can work with me, whether you want your content completely off your plate or need clarity on what to post and how it connects to your offers. If you’re tired of posting without a plan and ready for your content to start bringing in real conversations and clients, this episode will help you figure out your next step.

Not every closed door is actually locked and in this episode, I’m challenging the stories we tell ourselves when something doesn’t work out right away. If you’ve ever assumed an opportunity wasn’t meant for you because it didn’t happen instantly, this conversation will shift your perspective.

If you’ve been waiting to feel ready before you take action, this episode is your reminder that confidence doesn’t come first, action does. Discomfort is a necessary part of growth, and avoiding it might be the very thing keeping you stuck. Whether it’s showing up online, starting something new, or following through on what you said you would do, this conversation will challenge you to stop overthinking and start moving.

Something feels off online right now, people are watching, scrolling, and consuming more than ever, but they’re not buying the same way, and it’s not because your content isn’t good enough. We’re in a trust recession. In this episode, I break down why people are more skeptical than ever, how the rise of AI has blurred the line between what’s real and what’s not, and why showing up, talking to the camera (yes, even “yapping” to the camera), and actually being seen matter more than perfectly curated posts. If your audience is watching but not taking action, this is the shift you need to hear: it’s not about doing more; it’s about building trust in a way that actually converts.

This episode is a reminder that the things on your heart are there for a reason. I’m sharing how I almost didn’t start this podcast, the self-doubt that held me back, and what happened when I finally stopped waiting and just went for it.

We live in a world where it feels like everything should happen fast, so when results don’t come right away, it’s easy to think something isn’t working or that you’re doing it wrong. In this episode, I’m talking about why real change takes time and what’s actually happening behind the scenes when you feel like nothing is working. This is your reminder to stop quitting too soon, stay consistent, and keep showing up even when it feels hard, because that’s what actually leads to results.
