    Welcome to the podcast! Show #109.
    In this episode (Season 3, Episode 40), Alissa shares some mid-year inspirational card pulls with you.

    Can you believe you are over half way through 2026? Just in time for Independence Day (July 4th), Alissa encourages you to celebrate your life, your independence, and tap into your ability to imagine how the rest of this year could go for you.... and then go out there and make your dreams a reality.

    Have you been distracted by fear, self-doubt, daily chores, emails, or by certain people in your life?

    Have you been focused on the past, and what didn't work out last month or last year?

    Now is the time to leave behind any distractions, self-doubt, or past failures.

    This is your mid-year inspiration, and it's time to celebrate your freedom, take good care of yourself, and let yourself dream about, P.L.A.N. for, and do the things you enjoy.

    If you've been feeling indecisive, distracted, or regretful, tune in!

    Moving forward, you're about to trust yourself more and make decisions easily and from the heart.

    In this episode, Alissa Shirk guides you through a mid-year reflection, and congratulates you on your ability to change, grow, and even outgrow old fears and distractions.

    ​Mid-year reflection and inventory

    It took me 37 years to realize what I'll tell you in 27 minutes...

    07/06/2026 | 26 mins.
    Show #107! Welcome to the podcast.

    In this episode (Season 3, Episode 38), Alissa's messages of valuing yourself, your preferences, and your one precious life really hit home.

    You’ve been told your whole life you matter — but do you really feel it and act like it?

    Tune in, and start to feel it and act like you matter. Identity what matters to you, and work with what you have right now, to make your life more ideal, meaningful, and fun!

    Alissa spent 37 years in school, work, marriage, and parenthood — only to realize she had forgotten the MOST important thing: YOU get to decide what matters in life. You matter.

    It’s NOT about what you think you "should" do. It’s about your choices, plans, and desires. When you finally understood that, everything changes.

    Alissa quit the safe job, got divorced, and went all-in on her dreams. She built a life that feels authentic, alive, and aligned.

    Your story can change, too. Ask yourself: What do I want to build? What is one thing I can do today, to build a more ideal life? Write down your ideas. Plan on them. Own them. Act on them, like your plans are truly yours to carry out.

    Now you’re not just surviving—you’re thriving.

    You matter. Your dreams matter. And this moment? It’s your re-start. It's the beginning of a "serious era:" a time to take yourself seriously and go after what you want in life.

    Why? So that you can enjoy what is important to you, and have fun, and enjoy life to the fullest!

    Recognizing FOMO and FOBO in Your Life

    25/04/2026 | 7 mins.
    In this episode (Season 3, Episode 36), Alissa shares a story about having FOBO (fear of better options) and FOMO (fear of missing out) on behalf of her pet pug!

    What if there isn't a better option that you should be afraid of missing out on? What if you were perfectly content with some aspects of life?

    What if your marriage is pretty dang perfect, and your house is just fine. What if you're healthy, happy, and in love with your life, and your biggest challenge is enjoying yourself.

    Sometimes it's hard to settle into a feeling of contentment. You might feel compelled to start a new project, set a new goal, or optimize your life with the latest fad, when really it's all good.

    When life is trucking along peacefully without a hitch, don't convince yourself that you (or your pets) are missing out on better options, and somehow need a more optimal life than the one you're living. Fear is a liar. Anxiety is a liar that nags at you, with FOBO, FOMO, and a need to troubleshoot things that are causing you zero trouble! Some things, relationships, people, pets, and financial arrangements are just fine as they are.

    When your anxiety starts creating FOBO and FOMO in your mind, the only thing you have to fear is fear itself.

    Anxiety can creep into our lives as FOBO or FOMO, but those fears do NOT run the show, YOU do. Don't let anxiety push you to look for better options when it comes to your fitness routine, your finances, your love life, your family, or even your pets! You're not missing out. Relax and enjoy what you have.

    Anxiety might tell you that you need to "fix" something or improve it, when really it's all good. If you've been giving your power away to FOBO and FOMO, tune in! Share this episode with any loved ones in your life.
