Description
Welcome to the Telling It Like It Is with Alysa podcast hosted by Alysa Gumto. Each week, I will address the elephant in the room by telling it like it is, regardless of whether you're ready for it. From the latest trends on social media to candid interviews with some of my favorite people to navigating life as a high-achieving female in her twenties, I will bring a refreshingly honest perspective to every episode. With a healthy dose of humor and authenticity, I will have you laughing, thinking, and maybe even questioning everything you thought you knew.

As you grow and become more intentional about how you spend your time and energy, it’s natural for your circle to shift. In this episode, I am talking about why raising your standards often leads to having a smaller, more aligned circle and why that isn’t something to fear. If you’ve ever felt like your circle has gotten smaller as you’ve grown, this conversation will remind you that it may simply be a sign that you’re becoming more aligned with the life you want to build.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@socialmediawithalysa
We’re officially in the third month of the year, which means the excitement of January has worn off and real life has settled back in. In this episode, we’re having an honest, pressure-free check-in about the goals you set at the beginning of the year and where you actually stand with them now. This isn’t about guilt or shame, it’s about awareness, realignment, and making a conscious decision about how you want the rest of your year to unfold.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@socialmediawithalysa
In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why I created the 3-Month Content Clarity Mastermind and who it’s truly designed for. I share the real reason so many business owners struggle with consistency on social media and why clarity, not confidence or viral tactics, is what actually creates momentum. If you’re tired of winging your content and want a more grounded, repeatable approach, this episode will resonate.Do you want to learn more about the mastermind and snag one of the final spots?

After learning of two recent unexpected losses, I was reminded how fragile and unpredictable life truly is. This conversation is an honest reflection on how easy it is to wait for the “right time” to live fully, chase what’s in our hearts, and prioritize what actually matters. If you’ve been putting off the things you say you’ll do someday, this episode is a gentle but important reminder: someday isn’t guaranteed, and your life deserves to be lived fully, starting now.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@socialmediawithalysa
I’m sharing why I chose to invest in myself and my business by joining a six-month group mentorship, not because something was wrong, but because I have big goals and want to lead with intention. This conversation is about choosing proximity, support, and alignment as a way to become the strongest version of yourself, for your business and for the people you serve.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@socialmediawithalysa
Perfectionism often disguises itself as ambition, but more often than not, it’s fear in a more socially acceptable form. In this episode, I’m sharing my experience as a recovering perfectionist and why embracing “good enough” has been one of the most freeing shifts in my life and business. If you’ve been holding back because you don’t feel ready or polished enough, this conversation is your permission slip to move forward anyway.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@socialmediawithalysa
If you’re constantly overthinking what to post on social media, it’s not because you lack ideas; it’s because you don’t have a clear content strategy to follow. In this episode, I am breaking down why inconsistency, second-guessing, and “posting whatever feels easiest” are holding your business back, and why clarity matters more than creativity alone.Join my 28-Day Content Clarity Mastermind that is kicking off on Sunday, February 1st.

This episode is a reminder to stop letting imagined worst-case scenarios keep you stuck. We talk about why your brain focuses on what could go wrong, how that pattern quietly blocks momentum, and why most outcomes are simply information, not failure. You’ll learn how to shift from fear-based thinking into self-trust and action. If you’ve been waiting for certainty before moving forward, this conversation will help you choose progress instead.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@socialmediawithalysa
Setting goals is easy. Following through is where most people get stuck. In this episode, we’re having an honest mid-month conversation about overwhelm, avoidance, and why doing nothing can feel safer than taking imperfect action. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same place despite wanting more, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and recommit to what truly matters.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@socialmediawithalysa

If you’ve been saying, “I’ll get back to it after the holidays,” this episode is your wake-up call. We’re diving into the mindset shift from “I can’t” to “I can”, especially when life feels busy, messy, and full of distractions. I see it every year, people take their foot off the gas when they’re this close to momentum. But the truth? If you pause now, it’s ten times harder to restart later. In this episode, we’ll talk about why consistency through the chaos matters, how to stop letting excuses run the show, and simple ways to keep showing up even when you don’t feel like it.

I’m getting real about what it means to grow, evolve, and let go of versions of ourselves that no longer fit. The past two years have stretched me, challenged me, and ultimately shaped me into someone who leads, lives, and loves differently. This isn’t about reinventing yourself to please others, it’s about coming home to who you were always meant to be. If you’re in a season of change, questioning what’s next, or realizing that the “old you” just doesn’t belong in your new chapter… this one’s for you.Connect With Me on Instagram:@a_gumto@tellingitlikeitiswithalysa

It’s that time of year again, when goals start collecting dust and excuses start sounding a little too reasonable. The truth? Most people quietly check out of their business around the holidays and convince themselves they’ll “start fresh” in January. But if you’re serious about building a brand, you can’t afford to disappear every time life gets busy. In this episode, we’re talking about the difference between being committed and being checked out, and how to keep showing up for your goals, your audience, and yourself even when it’s tempting to coast.
