With Love and Aloha - A Life Coaching Podcast

Episode 4: The Meaning of Aloha & Aloha as a Way of Life

In this episode, I talk about the meaning of “Aloha” — a word and concept that is very meaningful to me. Aloha is so much more than a Hawaiian greeting - it’s a mindset and a way of life rooted in presence, compassion, humility, and love.
 
To live with aloha is to embody peace, kindness, understanding, and generosity — to give to others, to the world around you (or the ‘āina, the land), and most importantly, to yourself.
 
I share the literal translation of “Aloha,” how it’s used in the Hawaiian language, what it represents culturally, and how it serves as a guide for how we can move through life with grace and compassion.
 
We also explore how the values of aloha can ground us in today’s fast-paced world, and how choosing to live with aloha can transform the way you treat others, enter spaces, and show up in your everyday life.
 
Aloha isn’t something only for the Hawaiian islands — it’s something you can carry with you, wherever you go. It’s a practice of leading with heart, staying connected to what truly matters, and creating a more intentional, loving world, one choice at a time.

Episode 3: How to Simplify and "Slim Down" Your Life

In today’s episode, I’m building on the idea from Episode 2 about “doing less” and how you can simplify your day-to-day and as well as your big picture.
 
The goal is not only to do less, but to ensure that what you are focusing on aligns with what matters most to you and creates a sense of purpose.
 
I make the comparison of our bodies, how we are aware of when we may need to “slim down.” Just like our bodies tell us when we’re carrying too much, our lives do too and it may be time let things go or shift the focus.
 
In this episode, I share frameworks to help you prioritize what truly matters, including my own methodology of choosing just one thing each day that brings a real sense of accomplishment. And I also tap into the Marie Kondo mindset of only keeping “what brings you joy” as a way to declutter your tasks, space, time, and energy.
 
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin lately, I hope this helps you simplify with intention and realign with what matters most to you. 🩵

Mini Episode: Love & Prayers for Texas

This is just a mini episode to hold space for everyone in Texas affected by the flooding this past holiday weekend 💙 My heart is with you, I am giving my love, support, & prayers to all 🤍 I want to offer some words of comfort in this episode.
 
I had a regular podcast episode scheduled for today, but it felt more important to acknowledge the families and communities affected, the first responders and heroes on the ground, and the businesses stepping up to help with the disaster relief (like HEB, so amazing to see). May we continue to lift each other up and come together as we navigate these times 🤍

Episode 2: Rest, recovery, & the “Do Less” mindset

In this episode, Alyssa reflects on the importance of rest and recovery for our overall well being, state of mind, and ability to achieve our goals.
 
She talks to a couple of moments in her life where she appreciated companies that created space for this (Google’s rest weeks in the summer), and when others shared the importance of rest (a loved one on Maui leaving a Time magazine on her coffee table open to an article about doing less).
 
Summer time is a time of rest, and a perfect time to talk about the benefits of and ways to think about rest and recovery. 
 
Alyssa also talks about the “Do less” mindset - in which you prioritize you and your rest time, and therefore take on less. You don’t always need to be busy. It’s healthier to take on less and allows you to focus on the only the most important tasks on your “to do” list.
