Heal That Shit with Alissa Buethe

In this episode of Heal That Shit , I talk about the idea of being called delusional and why that word kept showing up in my life over and over again. After a conversation that made me question whether I was holding onto unrealistic expectations, I started noticing the same message everywhere… in books, conversations, social media, and even in the patterns I’ve learned to recognize as signs when I...

Most people believe that conflict is what damages relationships. But the truth is, conflict is unavoidable in any meaningful connection. Romantic relationships, friendships, family, even work relationships — if the relationship is real, conflict will show up at some point. The real damage usually comes from avoiding the conversation altogether. In this episode, I talk about why I'm not afraid...

In this episode of Heal That Shit , I share why I picked up Nobody’s Girl by Virginia Giuffre and why I chose not to look away from a story that is hard, heavy, and deeply personal. What started as an airport audiobook download turned into something much bigger. Listening to her recount the grooming, manipulation, abuse, and the powerful systems that protected it brought up pieces of my own story,...

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Kristopher Pace, Hope Mercedes from the band Mythology, and her amazing mom Mrs. K to talk about something deeply personal — a song they created together as a tribute to Christopher’s late brother, Daniel. The song is called “Brother,” and it’s more than music - it’s a message. We dive into how the collaboration came together, what the song really me...

In this episode of Heal That Shit , I talk about reconnecting with a couple of friends who reminded me just how powerful encouragement can be. They showed up at the perfect time, lifting me up and reminding me that sharing my voice and my stories isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s part of my purpose. Their presence was a nudge to step back into who I really am and what I bring to the world. Not lon...

In this episode of Heal That Shit , I share the inner tug-of-war I’ve been feeling since starting a new life in Montana. Even though the plan was always to move, settle in, and bring my kids out after school ended, the emotional weight of leaving behind everything familiar has been heavy. I’ve found myself second-guessing, grieving what I’m letting go of, and wondering if I’m making the right deci...

In this episode, I reflect on the constant cycles of change that life brings and how those shifts have been showing up in my own world lately.

One thing I’ve learned is how powerful the quiet moments are. They’...

This week Facebook memories shared a couple of videos I posted this time last year about my experience dating in my 40s, all of the trauma most of us are sifting through in our lives in an attempt to be happy and possibly find someone to share that happiness with, and the realization that trying to date at this point in life is filled with challenges that did not exist in our 20s. The truth is mos...

How the fuck did I get here? That question has been on repeat in my head since I landed in Great Falls, Montana. A year ago, I lost my job, and what felt like a crisis quickly became a lesson in surrender. I spent months trying to trust the process, but as my bank account drained, so did my patience. Out of over 100 job applications in 11 states, only Montana called back. And just like that, I pac...

Over the past few weeks, I've been reflecting on a common theme that’s been popping up for me, and I think it’s something we can all relate to. As we move through different chapters of our lives, we’re faced with the tough task of deciding what we want to take with us. This could be physical things, mental baggage, or even relationships. What’s truly worth holding onto, and what’s time to let...

In this episode, I had the opportunity to chat with Joey Grasso of Relatable Reflections and Pure Love Vibes. Joey shared his story as we explored the idea that, despite differences in age (Gen X vs Gen Z), gender, and where we grew up, many of us go through similar struggles in life. During our conversation, we delved into the importance of community in overcoming obstacles and finding strength....

2024 gifted me with a ton of practice in faith and trust. The past year was been filled with uncertainty for me, and I’ve had to really face my fear of the unknown. It’s been a reminder that life doesn’t always go according to plan, and sometimes, we just have to let go of the need to control everything. I’ve learned that faith isn’t about knowing all the answers; it’s about trusting yourself to n...

In today’s episode, I dive into the challenges we all face when life feels overwhelming. Whether it’s financial stress, job uncertainty, or just the weight of daily responsibilities, we’ve all been there. I talk about how, in these moments of struggle, it’s easy to feel like we’re not making any progress, but that’s often when we’re actually growing the most. I share how life’s toughest moments —...

In this episode of Heal That Shit , I dive into the tradition of choosing a "Word of the Year" as a way to set intentions and focus your energy for the months ahead. I share my own journey with this practice, reflecting on the words I’ve chosen over the past few years—diligence, joy, and accomplish—and how each one has shaped my personal growth and healing. 2024’s word, "Accomplish," didn’t quite...

In this episode of Heal That Shit , I share how reconnecting with my core values helped me move from feeling lost to living with more intention. A year ago, I was stuck in old patterns and mindsets, making decisions that weren’t aligned with who I truly wanted to be. By identifying and focusing on my values, I started making decisions that were more in line with the person I wanted to become, and...

In this episode, I reflect on what has been a transformative and challenging year for me. Losing my job in January gave me the gift of time—time to explore new passions, reflect on who I want to become, and practice patience and trust that things are working out. However, despite all the growth and self-discovery, I find myself struggling with a fear of commitment. This fear has shown up in my rel...

Something I’ve learned in the last year is that any source of discomfort we have has a purpose. And that purpose is to show us the places where we have to be aware of something that we need, that we need something that isn't in our lives, or someplace we are not in alignment with our authentic self. Ever since I’ve gained that awareness, my goal when I start to feel a certain level of discomfort t...

An interaction with a friend last week triggered some very painful parts of myself. This event took my thoughts to some dark places but also created some much needed awareness to places that needed healing and gave me an opportunity to look at old wounds, recognize how they have created mindsets and patterns that still operate in my life today, and challenge myself to choose new ways to look at th...

I’m pretty proud of myself this week. I just accomplished an impressive feat, at least in my eyes. I completed a full round of the 75 hard challenge. I’m very proud of what I accomplished in those 75 days, but also recognize that I could’ve gone even further with a little bit more discipline. Working out is great but nutrition is actually where most of the impact is made. I’ve heard this before an...
