In this episode, Alyssa shares about her very own struggle toward food freedom — what self-awareness and judgement taught her in navigating through her transformation. Find out one effective strategy she did to fight off her food problem. Learn how to reprogram one’s pattern of treating food as good or bad. Judgement isn’t leading you anywhere but only getting you stuck.

How getting a coach or someone who fully supports you in whatever you are going through can help a lot in moving through to your goal. We can get distracted at times even with much resolve, but having someone to help us with accountability, that is something.

Fear is one thing that bar us from truly realizing our potential and becoming the best versions of ourselves. Our subconscious has the tendency to protect us and makes us safe all the time. But without finding out the root cause of all that’s making us scared we will never find that freedom to embrace what life truly holds for us.

Alyssa teaches that that which we dare not to look into holds the promise of something beautiful. She doubles down on how in this path to healing, love and compassion is at the heart of it all.

“I always teach people to move, be inspired towards what you’re going for, rather than what you’re moving away from.”
