259. How to Stop Feeling Like a Pushover in Conflict and Stand Firm When You Feel Wronged

Épisode 259

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 20:17

In this episode, Alissa gets into why the instinct to smooth things over the second someone reacts to your boundary is actually a form of people pleasing, and why building your tolerance for that discomfort is the first step toward feeling unbotherable.

Alissa traces this back to the fear of abandonment underneath it, whether that shows up as a partner flipping the story back on you or a family member waving off a hurtful comment as a joke. She shows how the pattern gets reinforced every time it's smoothed over instead of named, and why noticing what's actually driving the rush to resolution is what starts to shift the pattern.

Alissa shares what it actually looks like to sit in the discomfort of a boundary instead of collapsing it, so you can source your safety and self-respect from within instead of from someone else's reaction.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why the urge to smooth things over the moment your boundary lands is people pleasing
How to recognize when you're rushing to resolution out of a fear of abandonment rather than genuine repair
Why letting someone avoid the consequences of their own behavior quietly teaches them how to treat you
How trusting what your body is telling you becomes more reliable than the story someone else is offering in the moment
Why pushback from someone who's benefited from your smallness is a sign you're doing this right, not a sign you did something wrong

258. Why Am I So Triggered? How to Get to the Root and Feel Unbotherable

Épisode 258

mardi 25 août 2026 • Durée 22:34

In this episode, Alissa gets into why triggers land the way they do and why finding the root cause is the first step toward feeling steady, unshakable, and less at the mercy of what everyone around you is doing.

Most triggers trace back to one of two places, an old wound from the past or an unmet need in the present. Alissa shows how naming that root pulls the charge out of it, so emotional memory stops determining your responses.

Alissa walks through what it actually looks like to clean up your side of the street so you can confidently source your safety from within.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why a reaction that feels disproportionate to the moment is a clue you've been triggered
The two roots of most triggers, an old wound or an unmet need, and how to tell which one is showing up
How pulling the charge out of a past experience lets a familiar situation lose its grip
What "cleaning up your side of the street" looks like before you decide whether a conversation is even needed
Why working through a trigger once makes it quieter every single time it comes back
How sourcing your safety from within frees you from living at the mercy of other people's choices

257. "I'm the type of person who..." Shifting Your Self-Concept By Changing the Way You Talk to Yourself

Épisode 257

mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 19:29

In this week's episode, Alissa shares a quick hack that quietly rewrites how you see yourself: "I'm the type of person who..."

So often you pin your happiness on the outcome, the finished book, the dream partner, the number of followers. Alissa offers an alternative, letting the process itself become the proof and validation of who you're becoming.

Every time you act like the person you want to be, you teach yourself to expect that version of you to show up (even when you don't feel like it).

In this episode, you'll learn:

How the phrase "I'm the type of person who" shifts your self-concept in real time
Why tying your happiness to the outcome makes the whole journey feel worse
How to turn everyday hard moments into evidence of who you're becoming
What showing up to an almost empty room taught Alissa about building real confidence
How to use this practice with people pleasing, exercise, dating, and creative work
Why falling off track is its own chance to prove the kind of person you are

256. You're Not a Burden: Advocating for Yourself with Chronic Illness or High Sensitivity w/ Celiac Coach, Jen Fitzpatrick

Épisode 256

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 40:28

For most highly sensitive people, advocating for a physical need feels like being a burden. Jen Fitzpatrick, a celiac advocate and founder of the Confident Celiac Community, joins Alissa to talk about the years she spent staying quiet about her own needs and the shift that finally changed it.

The tension is one a lot of HSPs with a chronic condition know well. Speaking up is what keeps you safe, but every people pleasing instinct says stay quiet instead. Alissa and Jen unpack why that instinct runs so deep and how to move through it anyway.

Pulling from Jen's diagnosis story, a study abroad trip where she watched everyone else eat what she couldn't, and Alissa's own experience navigating her daughter's recent diagnosis, the conversation moves through shame, community and self worth.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why highly sensitive people are especially likely to stay quiet about a chronic health need
Jen's own story of cross contamination scares and learning to advocate for herself after years of people pleasing
The simple swap that changed everything for Jen, saying thank you instead of sorry
Why choosing ten seconds of social discomfort is almost always worth it over days of physical pain
How finding community turned a hard diagnosis into something less isolating for both Jen and Alissa

255. Character Development and What Your North Node Reveals About the Person You're Becoming

Épisode 255

mardi 4 août 2026 • Durée 17:47

In this episode, Alissa breaks down why every hard season is building something in you that easy seasons never could, tracing the idea back to astrology, her own birth chart, and a realization that caught her off guard through her daughter Blaine's health diagnoses.

She walks you through how to see every uncomfortable, triggering situation as character development and opportunities for growth.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What your North Node and South Node reveal about your natural strengths versus the traits you're still growing into
How raising her daughter through celiac disease and Type 1 diabetes diagnoses is developing the structured, disciplined side of Alissa that used to feel completely foreign
Why a demanding boss, an unexplained health symptom, or another uncomfortable dynamic might be pointing to a part of your character that's ready to develop
The difference between staying in a toxic environment and choosing a challenge that's actually building you
What the growth gap is and why the space between your old identity and your new one feels so uncomfortable
Why letting fear of judgment, like worrying what old classmates will think, keep you from starting something is really just self-sabotage in disguise

254. Stop Reading Silence as Rejection: The HSP Fawn Response Explained

Épisode 254

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 19:02

When someone's energy feels a little different than usual, quieter, colder, more reserved, your mind starts filling in the silence with a story about what you did wrong.

This week Alissa breaks down where that hypervigilance actually comes from and why your mind rushing to assume the worst rarely has anything to do with what's actually happening.

Pulling from her own patterns and stories from women in the Not Too Sensitive Club, Alissa walks through how to catch the spiral before it takes over.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why your mind rushes to fill in the silence when someone seems distant or short with you
The childhood origin of hypervigilance and why it gets mistaken for high sensitivity
How to create space between a triggering moment and the story you decide to believe about it
The exercise for completing the anxiety loop and realizing you could survive the worst case scenario
Why overcompensating to win over a cold or quiet person is really about your own comfort, not the connection
How choosing a new response in triggering moments builds a steadier, more confident identity over time

253. How To Energetically Protect Yourself + Not Take It Personally When Others Project Onto You

Épisode 253

mardi 21 juillet 2026 • Durée 13:04

This week's episode comes from a riff request in the Not Too Sensitive Club group chat, a question about how to stop taking it personally when someone seems committed to disliking you, especially when you're wired to feel that discomfort in your body.

It's uncomfortable to sense someone judging you, and every instinct says to win them over. Alissa offers a different move: recognizing whose story this actually is.

She walks through what projection usually means psychologically, the energetic practices she uses before and after being around someone who triggers this, and why she'd rather be disliked for being herself than loved for shrinking.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why someone projecting negativity onto you is usually about an unexamined part of them, not evidence of something wrong with you
The difference between setting a boundary with someone and pretending their treatment of you doesn't hurt
How to use an energetic bubble and cord cutting before and after spending time with someone who triggers this pattern
Why staying small and people pleasing can protect you from the discomfort, but why that's not the goal
How to let someone's dislike of you be their thing to carry instead of yours

252. No One Else Gets to Decide That You're "Too Much" or "Not Enough"

Épisode 252

mardi 14 juillet 2026 • Durée 19:01

In this solo episode, Alissa names the exhaustion of shape shifting to fit an imagined mold of what's acceptable, and offers the alternative: deciding, every day, who you are and how you want to show up.

Sparked by comments on a viral Instagram post about owning being "too much," Alissa calls out the excuse that other's won't let you be your true self. She's not buying the narrative that other people's discomfort is proof something is wrong with you.

Pulling from her own story and pattern she keeps hearing from women in the Not Too Sensitive Club, she shares ways you can take back your power and decide who you are going to be.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why trying to fit into everyone's idea of acceptable costs you pieces of yourself
The real difference between wanting connection and needing everyone's approval
What moving to California from Minnesota taught Alissa about owning her differences instead of hiding them
Why overthinking after a social interaction is your nervous system reading it as a threat to belonging, not a character flaw
How self-worth changes the entire experience of imperfect social moments
Why healing your triggers matters as much as understanding where they came from

251. So What if People Judge You? How to Embrace Being "Cringe" and Build Sky High Self-Trust

Épisode 251

mardi 7 juillet 2026 • Durée 25:40

Alissa recently shared a post that said "please be too much," and it went viral, reaching over 2 million people after nearly two years of feeling like her work wasn't getting seen. But this episode isn't really about going viral. It's about what happened in those two quiet years before it, and why the willingness to show up anyway, even when you feel embarrassed, judged, or invisible, is what actually builds confidence and self-trust.

For sensitive people, the fear of being seen trying runs deep. Alissa offers two words that changed her life: so what?

She shares the stories behind it, from being mocked by people she went to high school with, to an email that hit her most painful insecurity square in the chest, to the six years of unseen work that led to her book deal with Penguin Random House. You don't wait until you feel healed and confident to start. You start, and that's what makes you confident.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why "so what?" are two of the most freeing words when you're afraid of being judged
What showing up without applause does for your identity and self-trust over time
Why waiting until you feel fully healed to take action is actually fear and control in disguise
How saying you want something but never acting on it quietly erodes your trust in yourself
What it looks like to treat triggers as stepping stones instead of stop signs
The difference between responding from your sensitive shadow archetype and your sensitive strength archetype

250. The Art of Feeling Everything Without Falling Apart

Épisode 250

mardi 30 juin 2026 • Durée 18:00

In this solo episode, Alissa shares the duality she's been living inside, where heartbreak over a forever diagnosis sits right next to genuine blessing, and offers a way to honor every feeling without letting those feelings run the show.

Through real moments from her own week, the 7am overwhelm she interrupted with gratitude, the choked up drive home from the doctor, the surprise of a new car the same afternoon, she gets honest about what it really means to be steady. Being unbothered was never about feeling less. It's about feeling all of it and still choosing how you move forward.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why holding duality, the joy and the grief together, is one of the most important skills for a sensitive person
What it means to honor your feelings without letting your feelings make every decision
How a quick gratitude rampage can pull you out of a morning spiral
How to catch the moments you slip into "why is this happening to me" and choose a higher perspective instead
The difference between pushing past a hard feeling and actually moving through it
