The calendar says go, but your body says pause. We open the year by treating January as a threshold—an intentional space to soften urgency, restore trust, and let clarity rise from quiet. Coach Alyssa Simpson joins Lizzy and we get practical about building an abundant life that doesn’t cost your nervous system: identity-first manifestation, cycle-led planning, and boundaries that hold when life gets loud.
Alyssa shares the moments that pushed her to end people pleasing and own her energy leaks—family tensions, client friction, even a car accident—then maps how small, consistent habits cue a wealthier identity. We dig into the be-do-have model, why instant gratification derails sustainable change, and how rest is not a reward but a core mechanism of manifestation. If you’ve ever tried to out-hustle the universe, this is your permission to try trust instead.
We also challenge hustle culture in entrepreneurship. Many of us still run our businesses inside rigid, masculine structures and wonder why we’re exhausted. We talk about leading from feminine energy—setting the tone, keeping meaningful white space, and letting money and operations follow. You’ll hear concrete ways to align your calendar with your hormone cycle, ask for support at home without drama, and reorient goals around what 80-year-old you will bless you for. Alyssa’s Restfully Rich program invites high-capacity women to rebuild success from embodiment, presence, and true receiving.
If January feels slow, heavy, or uncertain, you’re not behind—you’re right on time. Press play to trade pressure for presence, refine who you’re becoming, and design a year that grows from rest, not rush.
