Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I have an awesome guest for today’s episode.

Today, she shares tips and tricks on how to face struggles head on and how to keep a positive attitude of self-worth and self-love.
- The impact of social pressure
- Long term vs. immediate results
- The power of open communication with yourself and others
- Why it’s okay to lean on others for support and tough love
- The realities of experiencing “mental fog”
- How a proactive approach can help you achieve your goals
- The value of authenticity and sharing your struggles
- The meaning of “Dumbbells N Doughnuts”
- How to handle judgemental feedback and not compare yourself to others
Alyssa’s inspiring physical and mental transformation took years and is something she still works on every day. She shares her journey into the fitness world and the challenges she faced along the way before she ever stepped on stage. Alyssa discusses the negative influence social pressure can have on your self-image and the power of being open and honest with yourself wherever you are in your journey.
Powerful Quotes to Remember:
- It’s not just about the stage; it’s about a long lifestyle and mindshift that’s going to keep your health in check.
- It’s okay to lean on others and ask for help when you need it.
- Sometimes you need people in your life to give you the help and the reality check you need.
- Every part of your journey deserves to be heard. If you don’t share all of it, how can anyone know that they can do it, too?
- Just because you’re in a different place now, doesn’t mean you can’t love who you were when you started.
- Being judged for 30-60 seconds does not dictate who you are. It should not control your emotions moving forward.
- Whether or not you have to work 10 times harder than others is completely irrelevant. Know what YOU have to do and work as hard as YOU can.
- Allowing yourself to feel emotions helps you get through them and let them go.
