46 - Peek into The Body Revelation Book Study I'm Hosting

I've been talking alot about a more holistic approach to wellness and this week I'm giving you a peek inside The Body Revelation book that I will be hosting a book study on.

I'm so excited about this book and to be hosting a book study soon. This book offers physical and spiritual practices to Metabolize Pain, Banish Shame, and Connect to God with Your Whole Self.

Alisa walks you through 6 stages of metabolizing the pain that disrupts a healthy body-brain connection. Your body can be part of the solution instead of constantly feeling like it is a problem to solve.

Interested in joining the book study? DM me on Instagram HERE or get on my email list and you will get all the details next week!

45 - Integrating Mind, Body & Spirit Into Your Wellness Journey

On Episode 44 we talked about why yo-yoing your wellness doesn't work and the importance of getting of that train!

Today, I'm sharing what Integrating Mind, Body, and Spirit into your wellness looks like and why it's so important. The only way to create results on a wellness journey that will last is to approach it from a more holistic approach. We strive and turn to unhealthy habits when our mind, body, and spirit are not in balance. This is why we stay on the yo-yo cycle so long! It's time to get off and get lasting results in your wellness journey.

Today, I'm talking about these trends, why they dont work, and the approach you should be taking on your wellness journey. Let's dive in and then feel free to message me and let's chat some more.

42 - Steps to get rid of the Clutter to Improve Mental Health

Today I am wrapping up the month of May, which is Mental Health Awareness Month, talking about clutter. Clutter has been linked to increasing anxiety and depression, as well as costing us time, money, and added stress we don't need.

I share the steps to tackling clutter and the questions to ask ourselves when we are deciding whether we need to get rid of something or keep it. Clear spaces create calmer environments, help us to find things faster, and keep us from being distracted by all the things we see when we look around our space.

Listen in and let me know what area you will be tackling first, or share your favorite organization/decluttering hacks/resources with me. Connect with me on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/becomingpriority or email me at becomingpriority@gmail.com

32 - I fell off the Self-Care Train! What I've learned & was reminded through it!

I'm back after a 2 month break and I'm sharing on the podcast why I was on a break, how I fell off the Self-Care train, and what I learned through it all!

I'm not perfect, I struggle with balancing it all... JUST LIKE YOU. But I was reminded again why it is SO important to be intentional and make sure I am taking time to take care of ME! It's easy for all of us to slip when it comes to putting ourselves first when we have so many things that are priority in our lives. Nobody is immune to it. There isn't anything wrong with you if you fall off ... BUT it is so important to shake it off and get back into your rhythms and routines and to be intentional about taking care of you! YOU DESERVE IT and so do the people around you. Being healthy is so much more than a pant size or number on a scale and I'm reminding you of that today. So tune in and learn from my mistakes and let's continue on this journey of taking care of us TOGETHER as we move forward. I'm in it with you and I'm here to help encourage, inspire and support you as you figure out the best ways to care for you!

I would love to connect with you and help you with anything you are struggling with. Feel free to message me on Instagram HERE
