The Alissa Alter Show

I believe that if we spend as much time, energy, and discipline on our insides as we do our outsides, we will be unstoppable.

In this episode I explain…

• How to leverage what we know about building physical strength in the gym/studio to strengthen our emotional body.
• What hypertrophy is and how it works (that's the process of building and growing muscle mass).
• STRENGTH IS BUILT DURING REPAIR and repair happens during rest.
• Delayed onset muscle soreness (aka DOMS) and how that shows up emotionally AND physically.

In this episode…

• The two things Jill told me that helped me decide to have another baby

• Our rectovaginal births and resulting Vagani

• Vaginal rejuvenation and the O shot

• Integrating creativity and work with motherhood

• Growing and evolving comes with leaving things behind and it's ok to mourn that
• Less isn't always more and more isn't always more either
