PSA: Uproot and Uplift is ending....but no need to fret, Alyssa has a new passion project in store!

This short episode is a farewell and brief description of what is to come in the rebrand. Starting February 2025, Uproot and Uplift will officially be changed to "Navigating Motherhood Without Your Mother".

Alyssa talks about her why for this specific change, her excitement about future episodes, and her plans to create a community of empowered mothers who lack maternal support, looking to heal from childhood wounds and break generational traumas.

The fourth and final episode of the "Chronic Pain Series" features Donna Irene, a commercial traveler and lifestyle photographer who's lived in the thralls of pain and disability since she was 8 years old. In speaking with Alyssa, she shared that it wasn't until August 2022 that she received a formal diagnosis.

These answers propelled her healing journey, which took place in parts, and ultimately guided her into an ongoing state of acceptance and surrender. It's not always easy in the midst of her struggles, yet through vulnerability in sharing her story, she's found immense hope and peace.

"These struggles that you're facing...as hard as they can be...can also be an amazing opportunity and window into really connecting with others. And being able to connect through shared experiences in empathy and love." - Donna Irene

Sheena Rydings, a psychotherapist and chronic pain specialist, is the amazing guest for Alyssa's third episode of Uproot and Uplift's "Chronic Pain Series".

Together, the two discuss the connection between perfectionism and chronic pain. Many who suffer with chronic pain may not be aware of the harmful pressure they put on themselves when they crave a cure and ignore their mind and body's deeper needs.

Sheena herself shares her experience living with pain and her mother's beautiful example. She mentions the importance of making a plan and self-care. Also detailing acceptance and commitment therapy techniques, she recognizes that we can focus on what's more meaningful for progression and true healing.

"What I'm doing is not less, it's just different." -Sheena
