In this episode, Alissa gets real about one of the biggest reasons highly sensitive people stay stuck—overthinking instead of acting.

She shares why consuming self-help content isn’t enough, why confidence doesn’t come from journaling or affirmations alone, and how taking small, messy action steps is what actually rewires your identity and builds self-trust.

Through client stories, personal reflection, and her own journey from blog posts to a Penguin Random House book deal, Alissa shows how you can stop waiting to feel ready and start becoming the version of yourself who already does the thing.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why awareness alone won’t create transformation
• The difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it
• Why confidence is built through discomfort, not perfection
• Simple ways to practice self-trust in low-stakes situations
• How small, consistent steps compound into massive growth over time
