Stressed? Overwhelmed? Overstimulated? YOUR Self-Care Menu Will Save You From Burning Out
Alter Your Life
12/05/22 • 10 min
I created a sample Self-Care Menu for you AND a Self- Care Menu template you can customize to save yourself from stress, burnout, overwhelm, and overstimulation this holiday season and every freaking day. This menu was born out of necessity because I find the overstimulation of motherhood crushing.
This mini episode is something you're going to be seeing more of. Mini episodes will air every other week between full length episodes of interviews or deep dive solo episodes with me! In our first mini episode together you’ll learn...
- WTF a self-care menu is
- Why taking a moment to create one is the biggest gift you can give yourself right now and your future self
- How to use your menu and incorporate the people you live with
- When you take this time with, for, an by yourself, you are advocating for all women and creating a new narrative around what it means to “have it all.”

Alter Your Life
10/17/22 • 44 min
Ever wonder what a penis would look like wearing a pink donut? Me too. Wonder no more because the OhNut is here! And no, it’s not just for decoration! It’s function is even hotter. The OhNut is a wearable silicone sleeve that works like a bumper to control and limit depth of penetration. It’s made up of stacking rings so you can decide what works best for you.

I’ve been recommending OhNut to clients for years and everyone has been happy with the results. Because the OhNut allows you to relax, knowing that you are safe, and start to explore the possibility of pleasure between the sheets. Whether with a partner or flying solo. Emily has gracious shared a discount code ALISSA7 with us which you can use at www.ohnut.co for $7 off!
When I reached out to Emily to be on the show, I was not prepared to meet someone so cool! She’s fun, she’s light, she’s bright, and she is changing the freaking world. She is educating and empowering women to reclaim their bodies, advocate for themselves, and find pleasure. Basically...I’m obsessed with her.
Also I cry twice in this episode.
In this episode...
- Options to heal painful sex and how the OhNut works to fascilitate that
- Finding a sense of safety and control in your body again
- Getting lost in the cracks of the medical system & creating a holistic approach to care in a divided system
- Take an active role in your solution to painful sex and include your partner
Emily is a spritely entrepreneur who has always been passionate about creating catalysts that spark human connection. While developing Ohnut she co-founded the Lady Bits League, the Pain Perception Project, and Pelvic Gym to connect people and professionals from all over the pelvic health world, through education and story. Emily has redefined her life as a proud entrepreneur, maker, community leader, and patient advocate. Learn more at www.Ohnut.co and follow on IG @ohnutco

If you haven’t read Erin’s memoir Strung Out, it’s not too late! Erin paints the human picture of addiction and how our assumptions and judgment of addicts are influenced by you guess it, the patriarchy, and not humanity.
In this episode...
- We are all learning from our mistakes, always. As children and as adults
- Addiction is tied to emotional regulation. The best thing we can do to help future generations avoid addiction is self-efficacy
- Addicts are human beings struggling with the human experience
- Boundaries vs tough love. We all need boundaries with everyone, but that doesn’t mean excommunication...
Erin Khar is an author and advocate known for her writing on addiction, recovery, mental health, parenting, and relationships. Erin knows first-hand the challenges of addiction recovery. At just 13, she began a 15-year struggle with heroin addiction. With 19 years of recovery, she has established herself as a respected voice in the national conversation about the overdose epidemic.
Erin's debut memoir, Strung Out , appeared on most anticipated lists from Apple Books, Goodreads, SELF, The Rumpus, Bitch Media, and others. Of the book, The New York Times writes, "Khar’s buoyant writing doesn’t get mired in her dark subject matter. There is an honesty here that can only come from, to put it in the language of 12-step programs, a 'searching and fearless moral inventory.' This is a story she needed to tell; and the rest of the country needs to listen.”
She writes the popular weekly advice column on Substack, Ask Erin, and her personal essays have appeared in SELF, Marie Claire, Salon, The Times of London Sunday Magazine, HuffPost, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, and others. She lives in New York City. Learn more at www.erinkhar.com and on IG @ErinKhar

Your OWN Owner's Manual
Alter Your Life
07/11/22 • 18 min
You know that manual from your first vacuum cleaner with the extra parts all in a ziploc bag so you don’t lose any important parts that you never looked at or used? You have and hold onto owner’s manuals for appliances, vehicles, and whatever else comes with one, but when it comes to yourself? You struggle to remember to meet your own basic needs!
- A drive to Connecticut in a fancy car opened up my eyes to my own needs I never knew I had.
- How learning my warning signals like on the dashboard of a car helped me advocate for myself and build the life of my dreams.
- Why I created my very OWN owner’s manual and invite you to do the same.

You Always Have The Potential To Create: Connecting To The Lunar Cycles + Cosmos with Transformational Astrologer Corina Crysler
Alter Your Life
10/03/22 • 37 min
Meeting, talking to, and collaborating with Corina Crysler is a practice in knowing and trusting that there is so much going on beyond what our eyes can see. I first connected with Corina in Blair Bandenhop’s course Your Wellness Brand and knew immediately we were going to be friends. She’s fun, light, deep, and wise. She’s a real yin yang kind of person. Which you know I love!
Thankfully, the feeling was mutual and we’ve been friends now for two years! And we’ve never met in person because she lives in Canada! Life is wild, friend. Absolutely Wild.
And not only did we become fast friends, our friendship keeps growing and I am so excited to share that we are officially collaborating! More details to come for sure, which will be sent to my email list soon so make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on our two day, no bs, no holds barred gathering of women reclaiming our divine wisdom.
Because you know that I know that you know, that we know we are powerful. We know things. And we’ve been taught and conditioned to disconnect from our instincts, our guts, our innate knowing in favor of patriarchal systems that benefit and support other people. Not us. Not women.
And as much as I love a flower crown, I’m not an idiot. Now isn’t the time for flower crowns and light breezes. The world is changing, women are protesting for our lives, it is time for us to take action. Which can feel HUGE. Which is why Corina, myself, Blair Badenhop and world renowned author Kathleen McGowan are coming together for a two day gathering to remind you where you came from, why you’re here, and wtf went wrong throughout history to rob us of our divine wisdom.
Sound woo? That’s because there’s woo. AND take a breath, unclench your butt, because I’m also going to ground you in your physical body via the pelvic floor and the brain vagina connection. We are going to ease into the woo in a way that won’t leave you clenching your butt, but instead gliding into the fire of holy rage in order to advocate for yourself, all women, and make shit happen.
Because that’s what we do. We make things happen. And that’s what Corina does too.
Corina Crysler is a Transformational Astrologer and Feminine Cosmology Mentor who specializes in helping women heal and fully embody who they are by using the wisdom of the cosmos and the sacredness of the cosmic womb. Through group classes, Moon ceremonies, and as a contributing writer to Well+Good, she uses astrology and ancient feminine practices to activate clarity of purpose, self-understanding, and personal power in her clients and community.
Prior to this, Corina was a leading expert in Nutricosmetics and natural health product formulation. She led a supplement company with global distribution and worked with some of the largest companies in the world. Learn more at www.corinacrysler.com and follow on instagram @corinacrysler

From Muggle To Magic with Connie Viglietti
Alter Your Life
07/25/22 • 34 min
In this episode:
- How Catholicism and Reiki are connected, I know. I’m Jewish, I’d never made this connection either.
- How our own perceptions and definitions of success and failure inform how we show up or don’t show up in the world.
- We can connect to and remember who we are by giving ourselves time and space to breathe and listen. Starting with 5 minutes a day we can begin to train our systems to be more patient and honor our own boundaries. Or maybe create some new ones.
Connie Viglietti (She/Her) uses her creativity and power of presence to hold sacred space from which transformation and growth inspire all who work with her. Connie is an intuitive healer (Reiki Master + Thai Yoga) and sacred container creatrix with an extensive background in yoga and meditation, birth work and wellness coaching. Her previous work with Emaya (co-founder) and the Back to HERTM online program creatively mentored hundreds of women worldwide, connecting women with their purpose and voice using community, yoga, meditation, and coaching. Guiding people to their inner wisdom and watching them rise is what thrills her journey.
Connie holds monthly women circles and workshops at Integrative Healing Montclair. She offers private intuitive healing sessions and wellness coaching sessions. Intuitive healing sessions combine reiki, sound and crystal healing, essential oils, and divination tools to release energy that feels heavy or stagnant to find balance.
