Be Clay

Send us Fan Mail 2023 was a controlled demolition of my false identity. But entering 2024? That’s where the real test began. In this episode of Be Clay , we are diving headfirst into the raw, uncut truth of the healing journey. It all started when I fell down a rabbit hole after hearing about the B. Simone and Megan Ashley “Know For Sure” breakup. What began as looking into a viral internet situat...

Send us Fan Mail You ever look up and realize you’ve been living as a version of yourself that was built to survive, not a version that was built to be free? That’s where I’m starting, with a raw 2023 overview that became a prequel to everything that hit in 2024. I’m talking about identity, self-worth, spiritual healing, and the painful moment when the “real you” shows up and you don’t even recogn...

Send us Fan Mail A deadline doesn’t change your life until it has teeth. We’re celebrating a two-year milestone for the podcast, and I’m using it as a mirror for something I’ve struggled with for a long time: consistency. I talk honestly about what finally got me moving after months of slow progress, including the truth about how I treat deadlines and why “last minute panic” is not a plan.  Then w...

Send us Fan Mail Something nobody tells you about healing: the breakthrough isn’t the finish line, it’s the start of recovery. I’m Alisa, and I walk you through the first six months of my 2023 healing journey using a metaphor I can’t shake, surgery. There’s the prep, the detox, the deep cut, and then the “swelling” phase where you’re tempted to wonder if any of it worked. If you’ve ever felt that...

Send us Fan Mail Healing gets celebrated like a glow-up, but nobody warns you about the bill that comes due in the middle. I’m Alisa, and I’m sharing the real “what to expect” before I break down my year-by-year healing journey. If you’ve ever said you want to be free, but you keep backing out the moment it gets hard, this conversation is for you. We talk about the cost of emotional healing and tr...

Send us Fan Mail Although I lost my initial recording, took a longer break than I wanted, I still felt the pull to come back with something real. On Mother’s Day, I’m back on the mic to reintroduce Be Clay and say out loud what a lot of us live quietly: we ask God for change, then we fight the very process that change requires. Be Clay started with a prayer in 2020 and a hymn lyric that hit me lik...

Send us Fan Mail Healing can feel like a moving target until the day you realize something is different and it stayed different. That’s where we start: the moment I look at my life and see real freedom, not a temporary high, not a good week, but the kind of emotional healing that makes you say, “I’m dangerous now because I healed.” I walk through my healing journey that truly began in late 2022 af...

Send us Fan Mail ​In this deeply personal season finale—recorded at the close of 2025 and shared now with the perspective of the new year—I’m opening up about the moment everything came to a screeching halt: a serious car accident that totaled my vehicle and shattered my sense of self-reliance. ​Healing isn’t a straight line, and in this episode, I don't skip over the "messy middle.&quot...

Send us Fan Mail Ever feel like your life is spinning, but not in a way that’s shaping you? I open up about the moment a simple hymn line—“Thou art the Potter and I am the clay”—turned into a vivid picture of me fighting the wheel instead of trusting the hands that hold me. That image birthed the heartbeat of this show: be clay. Not the planner, not the potter—just willing, soft, and ready to be f...

Send us Fan Mail The mic is back on, the candles are out, and something real has shifted. Turning thirty-nine didn’t just add a number; it lifted a weight. I’m sharing how a quiet weekend in Virginia, a birthday test, and a year of honest work pulled me from disorganized attachment toward secure ground—and what that means for faith, family, and everyday peace. I open up about living in fight-or-fl...
