Self-Trust Is a Skill | How Doubt Shows You Already Know the Truth - Quick Bite

Episode 9

Monday, September 29, 2025 • Duration 09:18

Most people think self-doubt means they can’t trust themselves. But what if it’s actually proof you already know what’s true? In this Quick Bite of Relish, Alyssia Sheikh reframes self-trust as a skill you can practice and self-doubt as a signal—not a stop sign. You’ll learn how to discern intuition from fear, why doubt often shows up right before meaningful change, and how to strengthen your ability to follow your own inner knowing.

Why Real Change Isn’t Sticking: The Neuroscience of Embodiment - Entreé

Episode 8

Wednesday, September 24, 2025 • Duration 26:43

Ever wonder why you’ve read the books, taken the courses, and listened to the pods—yet your life still feels the same? This episode explains why information isn’t transformation—and how embodiment (mindful, in-the-body presence) is what actually rewires patterns. You’ll learn what embodiment is, how interoception (the brain’s sensing of internal signals) and regions like the insula and somatosensory cortex support it, and how it connects to your BE → DO → HAVE reality. Includes a brief experiential practice and practical ways to bring embodiment into everyday moments.

Get Off the Hamster Wheel of Doing - Quick Bite

Episode 7

Monday, September 22, 2025 • Duration 07:48

Ever feel trapped on the hamster wheel of “doing more” but never quite feeling enough? In this Quick Bite episode of Relish, Alyssia Sheikh introduces the powerful BE · DO · HAVE framework, a life-changing reframe that flips the script on success and fulfillment. Instead of chasing accomplishments to finally feel whole, you’ll learn how starting with being—your authentic, present self—naturally shapes what you do and what you have. A short and potent reminder to step off the cycle of striving and start savoring your life right now.

Episode 6

Wednesday, September 17, 2025 • Duration 17:58

What if the very patterns you’ve been trying to “fix” aren’t flaws, but proof that your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do? In this episode of Relish, Alyssia Sheikh explores the neuroscience of survival, predictive processing, and brain networks—and why they make you human, not broken. You’ll discover how to reframe your patterns with compassion, honor both spirit and conditioning, and embrace wholeness as you already are.
