Hey, I’m Alisha. A wife, mom, fitness/nutrition/lifestyle coach. I dieted for over a decade, losing and regaining the same weight over and over. I was not only chasing a number on the scale, but I was also trying to be everything to everyone, which only left me feeling more exhausted and worse about myself.
I finally realized that if I was going to show up as the wife and mom I wanted and find freedom in my health I needed to work on my relationship to food, exercise, my body, and myself. I learned about the power of changing our brain (aka our thinking) - and our behavior- through habits that supported the healthy lifestyle that I craved. And now I’m ready to share everything I’ve learned with you!

How you're accidentally teaching your kids to be people pleasers
In this episode, Alisha Carlson explores the hidden ways moms unintentionally teach their kids to people please and live without boundaries—simply by how they show up in day-to-day life.
You'll learn why modeling self-care isn’t selfish, how to break generational cycles of hustle and burnout, and how to lead your family with grace, wisdom, and strength.
This is more than parenting—it’s personal transformation. Because when moms prioritize their own self-worth, rest, and wellness, they raise kids who do the same.
What You'll Learn:
- How your habits are silently shaping your kids’ beliefs about rest, self-worth, and boundaries
- Why busyness isn’t a badge of honor—and what to model instead
- The difference between real self-care and the highlight-reel version
- Practical ways to involve your family in healthy habits and personal growth
- Why perfection isn’t the goal, but ownership is
- How to stop the cycle of people pleasing (for you and your kids)
Key Takeaways:
- If your kids only learned about boundaries by watching you… what would they believe?
- You’re not just raising kids—you’re re-parenting yourself.
- Actions > words: More is caught than taught.
- Boundaries show your family that time is sacred.
- Rest isn’t a reward. It’s a requirement.
- Grace over guilt. Always.
- When you take care of yourself, you're teaching your family to step up, not step around you.
