Show #107! Welcome to the podcast.In this episode (Season 3, Episode 38), Alissa's messages of valuing yourself, your preferences, and your one precious life really hit home.You’ve been told your whole life you matter — but do you really feel it and act like it?Tune in, and start to feel it and act like you matter. 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.
