Finding Alignment
Myth of Motherhood
05/16/22 • 29 min
Today’s episode is about alignment. Alignment inside our bodies, but also alignment in terms of what’s happening outside our bodies. In the world. This is also a big episode because I have some news that I share at the end of the episode. In my 35+ years of dance, yoga, Pilates training and 20+ years of teaching in the world’s most elite gyms and boutique studios. Working with thousands of other smart, motivated, disciplined women like yourself, hearing your feedback and feeling my own shifts as I practice what I preach, I’ve developed a method that shows you how to move forward one step at a time. We KNOW that the answer is not in a restrictive diet, a punishing workout schedule, or endless meditation. We’ve tried them all and these dramatic upheavals aren’t sustainable.It’s time to stop looking outside for some one size fits all answer, because it will never be the right fit for you. I believe that if we put as much time, energy, and discipline into our insides as we do our outsides, if we connect our physical and emotional bodies, we are all unstoppable.

Marriage After Baby: I'm A Mom, But I'm Not YOUR Mom
Myth of Motherhood
02/28/22 • 15 min
There’s this assumption that after we give birth, we spontaneously download a complete, updated guide on everything motherhood/parenting/baby. Suddenly everyone asks us to feel our foreheads, what type of jacket we need, and what’s for dinner. I don't know about you, but this made me furious. The automatic status of lead or default parent. Like I suddenly knew everything even though we were both new parents. This episode is based on my interpretation of these events. My experiences as a new, hormonal mom. Objectively speaking, my husband was incredible. That doesn’t change the societal pressure, standards, or expectations put on women when they give birth.

Taking Up Space Postpartum
Myth of Motherhood
03/14/22 • 20 min
There’s so much pressure after having a baby to look like you didn’t have a baby. Even though you definitely just had a baby. We are supposed to bounce, snap, fit right back into our old jeans and our old lives when everything about us is new. In this week’s episode Alissa shares about how we can reframe our experience of taking up more space, being held more fiercely by gravity, and owning our mom bods can change our experience. And hopefully influence societal expectations, pressures, and ideals placed on women’s postpartum bodies.

41: Finding Your Worth with Ryanne Tanae Glasper
Myth of Motherhood
01/10/22 • 30 min
This keeps coming up and we can’t talk about it enough; why do we so often wait until motherhood to find and own our worth? I mean, we know why (hint: all of the systems in place to keep women small and quiet) and still, it is our work now to create new systems for the next generation. And what does that require? It required us to opt out of garbage, reparent ourselves, and own our f*cking worth. Warning: I say at least TWO very smart things in this episode. Ryanne, our guest, says more than two smart things. Today’s guest Ryanne Glasper is very special to me. I first met Ryanne when I hurt back in 2013. She then treated me for whatever injuries I got from whatever show I was in and she was the first person I told out loud that I was going to be filing for divorce. She’s since moved out of NYC which breaks my heart, but I worked with her virtually to recover from my birth injury physically and emotionally. Learn more about Ryanne at Ryannetanae.com and check out the show notes to learn more about her and her amazing work. Want to learn more about me , what I do, and why I do it?

I’m numb from numbing and wondering WTf do we do next? Where do we go from here? In this episode I talk about how all of this relates to my relationship with alcohol and how we are on a break right now and what I’m doing to counteract feeling dead inside. Hint: It has something to do with things that make me feel ALIVE! It’s rough out there so let’s get together and feel alright.
