Alive and (sometimes) Well

We're back! Chatting all things life lately, what it was like to create a business together and our dreams and vision for this podcast moving forward. A lovely dose of business, life and humanity. 

Join Alyssa in this episode as she shares about the importance of having things that are just for you, talks through the ways we allow ourselves to be held versus all the holding we do for other people/life and the importance of asking for and receiving support even when things are going well. 

A not boring recap of what sucked ass from 2021 and what we're brewing up for 2022. 

What was meant to be a 10 min episode turned into giving you some love notes to navigate the sometimes harder moments of the holidays, but of course in true Rachel and Alyssa fashion, it ended with hand job stories, and nostalgic young love. 

Okay so everyone is talking at you about how your whole life experience is a trauma response...but is it? Let's get curious.

This has got to be one of our most favorite episodes. That's the plot. Please listen for your mental health. 

Today Rachel and Alyssa sit down for a life update!

Join us as we discuss selling your offers in the winter, and how the changes of the seasons express our identities in our business, and our personal lives. 

Join us as we break down meeting each other IRL, and discuss secrets entrepreneurs are afraid to say out loud.

Join Alyssa in this solo episode where she shares the parts of healing that people don't always talk about. That it doesn't always feel good, that it's cyclical and not linear and that as we grow and heal, old things come up to be dealt with. That it's a beautiful thing we have expanded capacity to navigate them and it's also okay to feel frustrated by this. She shares about her own relationship with healing, experience of burn out and fears around true, deep rest. Content Warning: Death, grief, depression

When we sat down to record this episode we both decided we had no interest in following the plan we laid out—so we just sat down and talked, like no one was listening. Join us in this peeled back conversation.

Join Rachel & Alyssa as they talk about sexuality, sitting with more questions than answers and the often confusing and not clear cut path to discovering this big piece of who we are. As Rachel says in this episode on sexuality, "It has nothing to do with business and maybe everything to do with business." For more Alive and (Sometimes) Well, follow us on @aliveandsometimeswellpodFollow Rachel @rachelbturner_Follow Alyssa @Alyssa.m.pressmanAlive and (Sometimes) Well podcast is a trauma informed business-ish podcast for folks who see life as art and covers all things business, relationships and mental health.

In this solo episode, join Alyssa as she shares about the importance of having your own back, especially when you make a decision that other people don't like, agree with, understand or support. How can we root deeply into a choice we are making that is the most supportive for us, even when other people don't like it? What does it mean to really sink into our own inner knowing and wisdom and live a life on our own terms? Part rant but mostly pep talk. The invitation is to take what you need and what resonates and leave the rest.
