Heal That Shit with Alissa Buethe

One of the greatest lessons I have learned in my journey of self-discovery is understanding that relationships are mirrors to the places we have work to do within ourselves.   “We should be grateful for all situations that make us the most uncomfortable, because without them we would not know there is something unhealed in us."  ~ Kenneth Wapnick Gabby Berenstein‘s "The Universe Has Your Back" is...

Over the weekend I had a moment where I was reminded that a key to letting go of shame is forgiveness. The ability to forgive others is helpful in being able to move on. But even more important than that is the ability to forgive ourselves. If you think it’s hard to forgive other people for the things they’ve done in the choices they’ve made. You have clearly not tried to forgive yourself for the...

Frequently throughout your journey of healing and transformation there will be periods of time where you feel like you are not moving. Everything feels stagnant. I’ve often found myself in that place during my healing journey that I like to call the void. I call that because it’s super uncomfortable to be there and nothing is really moving. It almost feels like a stagnant pond rather than a river...

During a recent last minute, super impulsive trip to Montana a random connection led to a conversation about how to create a life of peace, joy, happiness, and fulfillment. I have had enough of my own awareness and experiences in the last several months that my insight at that moment sounded like this: Creating those moments and that inner peace has to do with being present, and being open to expe...

In this episode, Carrisa Glogovac shares her story of becoming a mother at 39 after thinking she could not have children and the journey of inner healing that her struggles with postpartum and motherhood prompted. Although the events that prompt our journeys of inner healing may be different, the lessons are the same. Carrisa and I discuss our different journeys as well as the common themes that s...

One of the hardest things you’ll ever have to do as a parent is watch your kids struggle with something that you can’t fix. To watch them faced with problems that you can’t solve for them. To watch them hurt and not be able to take away the pain. One of my children was struggling with something I think all of us can relate to. They were struggling with not knowing where they fit in this world. The...

It looks like I’ve received my next message from the universe. This phrase has come across my path several times this week. Enough for me to pay attention every time I hear it. "Iron Sharpens Iron" The first time I noticed it, it was in an Instagram post a friend shared of his work out as that’s the name of the gym he attends. A community of people who encourage and push each other. Late...

This is a very exciting episode, as I bring on my first guest to tell their story of what prompted their journey of inner healing and path to authenticity. Dr. Kelly Abbott (psychologist and dear friend from middle school), shares openly about his decision to leave the Mormon church, navigating a subsequent divorce, and how those decisions sparked a journey of self-discovery, allowing things in hi...

In the past two weeks I've received another very loud recurring message around the word “Lucky.” It started with a first date with a man who showed up wearing a hat that said “I’m So Lucky.” Followed by a conversation on our 3rd date where we realized we both had dogs named Lucky at one point in time. Later that week on my morning walk, I found a four leaf clover. I had never seen one of those...

In this episode I talk about the power of making choices. Many of us often we find ourselves in difficult situations and get so focused on the pain and the shame and the disappointment and the limitations that we put on ourselves that we don’t always realize we don’t have to be there. That the prison we create for ourselves is only in our lack of awareness in the fact that we can leave whenever we...

This weekend, a rare 2nd a full moon in Capricorn is approaching us on Sunday, July 21st. Full moons are all about illumination, awareness, seeing things you may have hidden from yourself, being unable to look away from the truth, and releasing things that no longer serve you. For me, full moons have often shined the light on the awareness that certain relationships in my life need to be released...

In this episode, I talk about a mental block I recently discovered around the fear of being seen and how I worked past it. Trigger Warning: childhood sexual abuse. Experiences in my childhood created the faulty mindset that staying small, quiet, agreeable, and invisible are what kept me safe. I realized this did not serve me well as an adult and identified some new tools to address this protector...

We are all powerful manifestors! For the past handful of years I have been practicing manifesting with the moon cycles. During a new moon I set the intention for all of the wonderful things I want to bring into my life, and when the full moon rolls back around in that astrological sign 6 months later I typically start to see those things begin to show up if they haven't already. In this episod...

The end of a friendship this week reminded me of how that connection acted as a catalyst for deep healing the 1st time we decided to end our dating relationship and opened up old wounds that needed to be addressed. The initial rejection and abandonment opened a rawness, allowing deep buried pain and fears to emerge that had been stuffed away in Pandora's box. And down I went into this rabbit h...

I was raised that hard work was a virtue and the only way to have success in life. This idea was absolutely ingrained into my identity. I completely bought into the concept that hard work was the only way I was going to be successful. And the harder I worked, the more successful I would become. I was taught to do the hard things first. Work hard, then play. Eat your vegetables first. Don’t let any...

The Universe speaks to me constantly in different ways when I have slowed down enough to be present and pay attention to the signs. Most recently the message sent my way was around the phrase "Lean In." Taking action to pursue options in my life despite the risk. And following that guidance is continuing to bring me the things I have asked for, including lessons on boundaries, discernmen...

In this episode, I dive into my journey of self love. Doing the work to create shifts in our mindsets is a start. If you want to receive the things you desire in life (love, healthy relationships, abundance, etc.), you have to love yourself enough to believe you are worthy of those things. But to truly make the transformation towards self love in your life, you must also intentionally choose the a...

In this episode, I share an overview of who I am, the story of how I got to where I am today on my journey of healing and self discovery, and what I hope to offer with this podcast. My goal with this podcast is to not only be light for others in their darkness, but also to share the things that I’ve learned along the way during all of my moments of darkness. Some of these things include: How to li...
