The Alissa Alter Show

There are a variety of definitions of consistency depending on the context. Consistency of food is different from the consistency of the quality of my moisturizer which is still different from the consistency with which I take care of myself. Not just working out, but fully, wholly, holistically taking care of myself from every direction.

For the purpose of this think piece I'm going to lean more on definitions that reflect consistency in terms of harmony and logical coherence within a logical system.

In the episode…

• Three clients who had huge success from a small dose of consistency

• THIS doesn't have to be hard

• Read more on the BLOG!

• Redefining consistency

• Why it's so hard in adulthood and parenthood

• My advice on how to get started

• Consistency IS possible and you deserve it!

Lisa Piccirillo almost gave up on songwriting, but the muse wouldn't let her. The inspiration for her forthcoming record came to her as a vision: the silhouette of a woman, backlit by the sun, alongside the word RADIATE. Fueled by this idea and the desire to reclaim her creative identity, Lisa devoted herself to daily songwriting sessions at sunrise and the new record was born. An unapologetically loud follow-up to her mellow and folky 2008 debut (momentum), RADIATE chronicles Lisa's vast emotional landscape with her signature blend of vulnerable songwriting and powerhouse vocals.
