In this week's episode, I am interviewing Kerri Ann Bilyeu to talk about how to ease your stress during the holiday season. Kerri shares her journey towards prioritizing her health, particularly through exercise, which she started in college and has continued throughout her life. She emphasized the importance of self-care, especially as a teacher and mother, and how it has helped her manage stress.

Be honest for a second: are you on track to hitting the goals that you set for yourself? There's a good chance that you might not be, and guess what, that is OKAY!!

This week, I am talking about the "let them" theory, originated by Mel Robbins, which encourages individuals to let go of trying to control others and situations. As always, I am openly sharing my struggles with control and how this theory has helped me to reframe my mindset. This approach has allowed me to focus less on others and their actions and more on myself, which I know is also possible for you.

No matter how tough things seem, there’s always hope for a brighter future. Even if things aren’t going your way today, remember that better days can still be ahead. Sometimes, the best moments are yet to come, so keep going and stay positive. Most importantly, remember that your current struggles DO NOT define your whole story because the BEST IS YET TO COME.

This week, I am excited to sit down and chat with Steph Ness and talk all about having a morning routine. Creating a consistent morning routine starts with planning the night before. Set a regular wake-up time and stick to it, even on weekends. Avoid checking your phone first thing; instead, spend a few minutes focusing on yourself. You could read a few pages of a book or write in a journal. Keep the routine simple and enjoyable, so it becomes something you look forward to each day. Over time, these small habits will add up, helping you start each day feeling organized and ready.

The idea that everything happens for a reason can be comforting. It suggests that every experience, whether good or bad, helps us grow and learn. This belief means there is a hidden purpose behind the random events in our lives, encouraging us to find meaning in our challenges and successes. Thinking this way can help us stay strong and hopeful, seeing setbacks as chances to learn and improve. While not everyone may agree, it offers a way to find peace and purpose in the ups and downs of life.

Do you find yourself downplaying your success? If so, you are not alone! There's no better time than RIGHT NOW to recognize and celebrate your success. Acknowledging what you've accomplished boosts your confidence and shows others your true potential. You inspire yourself and others to keep striving for more by appreciating your hard work and progress. So, give yourself the credit you deserve!!

Genuine appreciation, often overlooked in daily life, has hidden benefits that can greatly impact our lives. When we take the time to recognize the efforts and qualities of others, it creates a positive environment where people feel valued and understood. This act of appreciation can improve emotional well-being, morale, and productivity. It builds trust and strengthens connections, fostering a supportive community. Practicing genuine appreciation helps us develop a more positive outlook on life, as we become more aware of the good around us. By truly appreciating others, we uplift them and enhance our lives, creating a ripple effect of positivity and respect.

When an opportunity comes knocking, do you open the door? It's like when someone offers you a chance to do something new or exciting. Maybe it's a career change, a chance to learn a new skill, or even to make a new relationship. The thing is, sometimes, we get scared or unsure. We might hesitate because we're worried about what could go wrong or if we're good enough. But hey, when an opportunity comes around, it's like a little gift. So maybe it's worth taking a chance, stepping out of your comfort zone, and seeing where it leads. Because who knows? It could be the start of something pretty amazing.

This week on the podcast, I am thrilled to welcome my dad as my special guest, sharing his journey with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, a time to raise understanding about this disease. MS is a disease that affects the nervous system, causing various symptoms. Despite the obstacles that have been thrown my dad's way, he maintains hope and positivity, finding silver linings even in tough times. As I dive into his story during Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, I aim to shed light on the resilience and courage exhibited by those just like him, that are living with MS.

When life throws you off balance, it can be tough to bounce back. But it's important to find ways to spring forward, even when things feel overwhelming. There are always going to be setbacks and roadblocks thrown your way, but it's up to you to decide how you will choose to move forward!

It's easy to get caught up in a cycle of complaints, focusing on what's wrong rather than taking action to make things right. However, true progress and change only come when we stop complaining and start doing. Instead of dwelling on obstacles or setbacks, it's essential to channel that energy into productive action. By shifting our mindset from complaint to action, we empower ourselves to overcome challenges and get after what we want in life. So let's stop complaining and start doing, because that's where real change begins.

Attending the Drake concert was eye-opening. It was a reminder that you never really know what someone is going through. Drake talked about this during the show, saying how important it is to understand others. He reminded us that there could be struggles we don't see behind every smile. When Drake gave $50,000 to a fan who beat cancer with his music, it hit home. It showed that we shouldn't judge people too quickly because we don't always know what they're dealing with. It was a powerful reminder to be kind and compassionate to everyone, as we never know what battles they're fighting.

One of my BIG goals in 2024 is to get 10 speaking engagements, and I can successfully say that I had the honor of speaking at 2 different conferences on February 10th. I had the honor of speaking at 2 different conferences today! I spent the morning speaking at Step Into Success 2024, the Duquesne and Point Park University’s District Conference. Then, I headed to Pitt for their AMA Regional Conference, where I spoke alongside my friend and mentor, Kate Speer.

This week, I am interviewing my realtor, Ashley Schultz. Ashley and I talk about my home buying journey while I ask her questions related to all things real estate!

Ashley is a full-time realtor in Pittsburgh who believes that working with clients is much more than buying or selling a house. She thrives on running an organized business and building lasting client relationships through her candid yet empathetic approach. Outside of work, Ashley is a wife and mom of two kiddos and is a lover of coffee, craft beer, ranch sunflower seeds, and emo music.

My home-buying experience was quite the journey! Many problems and unexpected twists made me often question whether or not I was ever meant to have a place of my own. Two years later, I finally got the keys to my place. Walking through the door, it hit me - I did it. The struggles and setbacks that happened were all worth it. This house, now mine, symbolizes hard work and not giving in.

The concept of a "new you" or personal transformation doesn't have to be tied to a specific date or event, like the start of a new year. Change and growth are ongoing processes that can happen at any time.

Setting goals, reflecting on your values, and making small, consistent efforts toward personal development can be done at any point in the year. The key is to focus on continuous improvement and be open to learning and adapting.

If you feel inspired to make positive changes, don't wait for a specific moment or date—start whenever you feel ready. Small, sustainable steps can lead to significant transformations over time.

Are you someone who chooses a word or words each year? I was not the person until I was just recently having dinner with a friend! The more I thought about the idea, the more I got behind it! In the upcoming year, choosing a single word can shape your experiences, guide your decisions, and redefine your narrative. There's no better time than now to unlock the potential for growth, purpose, and positive change in the months ahead.

Being okay with walking away is an important part of dealing with life's ups and downs. Whether it's walking away from what you thought would be your dream first home, a job, or a relationship, there are times when we just have to let go. Life doesn't always go as planned, and we learn valuable lessons. Recognizing when it's time to walk away shows our ability to adapt and grow. It's not a sign of weakness but a brave acknowledgment that new opportunities are ahead. Embracing change and the unknown can be empowering, reminding us that our journey is a continuous process of learning and evolving.

Rejection can often feel like a roadblock, but it's more like a redirection. When we face rejection, whether in our personal relationships, careers, or pursuits, it's an opportunity to reassess our path and consider alternative routes. Just as a GPS recalculates a new course when we veer off track, rejection can guide us toward different, sometimes even more fulfilling destinations. It encourages us to reflect on our goals, learn from our experiences, and adapt our strategies. In this way, rejection can be a valuable compass that steers us toward unforeseen opportunities and personal growth, reminding us that life's journey is rarely a straight line but rather a series of detours that can lead to unexpected and rewarding destinations.

Living life on your terms means walking your path, making decisions, and pursuing what truly matters to you. Instead of letting others tell you what to do, you're the one in control. It's like taking the steering wheel of your life and driving in the direction you want. While others might offer advice, you're the captain of your ship, choosing where to sail. This journey is about doing things your way and finding your rhythm. It's like composing your song, not following someone else's tune. When you choose your path, you choose freedom and authenticity, and that's a powerful way to live.

This week on the Telling It Like It Is with Alysa podcast, I am sharing the story behind my vehicle and why it represents so much more than just a car that gets me to the places where I need to go. Our stories are more than facts and events; they reflect who and where we're going. Finding our voice means being honest and authentic about our experiences and owning our story, both the triumphs and struggles. Sharing our story can be scary and vulnerable, but it's also incredibly liberating. It has the power to inspire and empower others by creating a sense of connection and empathy. We never know who might be listening and how our story could impact their life. It's important to remember that our story is unique, and we have something valuable to offer the world. So let's take the time to define our story, find our voice, and inspire others. Because our story matters, and it's worth sharing with the world.
