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!Share this with someone who needs to hear this.Visit the NEW website, alissashirk.com, for the free newsletter, and social media links.

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!

Welcome to the disSOLViNG fear podcast! Season 3, Episode 32 - Welcome to the podcast, where fear doesn't run the show, YOU DO!Anger is a normal human emotion, so tune in and learn how to manage it, harness its power, and even use it to improve your focus and performance. Are you ready to become non-provokable and in control of your emotions? Do you tend to fight, flight, or freeze?Do you ever feel like you're constantly agitated and ready to flip your lid and lose it? Or do you quietly hold onto anger and frustration, until you're tired and resentful? Tune in, because it happens to the best of us - ANGER & FRUSTRATION are normal, human emotions. If you'd like to manage these emotions in a more skillful way, Dr. Mitch Abrams is here with his expert advice.Today's guest, Rutgers University Chief Psychologist Dr. Mitch Abrams, works with people from all walks of life who have one thing in common: they're angry! Dr. Mitch Abrams tells you how to harness anger and use it for healthy motivation, especially if you're an athlete, a man of any age, or a frustrated soccer mom like me. He even wrote a book. You can learn more about his book, and his impressive bio, on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Im-Not-cking-Angry-Adjust-ebook/dp/B0FQDNH6K1Tune in and start using your emotions to get what you want, rather than letting them run the show. When you hear everyone talking about "emotional regulation" these days, regulation doesn't mean you have zero emotions and a constant poker face. It means that YOU are in charge of dialing your anger up or down, and using your emotions to your own advantage.You CAN give yourself time to process your feelings before you act on them.
