You are happy and in a great place in your life, but you noticed that some people aren’t happy for you. We encounter negativity, experience disappointments, and sometimes face hurtful words or actions from others. In these moments, it's easy to react with anger, resentment, or even retaliation. But choosing the higher road, even when it's challenging, can have a profound impact on our own well-being and our relationships with others. On today’s episode we will unpack taking the higher road to continue to have peace and happiness when you’re dealing with negative people.

Today, we're not just observing negativity; we're actively fighting back. We're talking about the crucial practice of Rebuking Negative seeds—that toxic energy, that self-sabotaging voice, and the dark clouds others try to cast on your spirit. On this episode we will get raw. Negativity is insidious. It doesn't always show up as loud anger; sometimes, it’s a quiet, persistent whisper of doubt that tells you you’re not good enough, you’re not ready, or that your dream is impossible. If you don’t stand up to it, that negative sees takes root, and it starts to grow and making decisions for you.

Today is about drawing a line in the sand. This is your life, this is your energy, and you have the power to protect it.

We’ve all felt that sting in life from the job you didn’t get, the person who didn’t choose you, the opportunity that slipped through your fingers. Rejection can feel like the universe slammed a door right in your face, leaving you standing there wondering, Why not me? What did I do wrong? The truth is, rejection often shows up to reroute us toward something better aligned with our purpose. Yet in the moment, it’s hard to see that. We focus on what we lost instead of realizing what we’re being guided toward. We chase doors that no longer open, cling to relationships that drain us, or stay in jobs that don’t fulfill us—all because we fear starting over or trusting that something greater is waiting.

This episode is about shifting that perspective. It’s about learning to see rejection as redirection—a divine nudge to pivot, grow, and realign your path with your true potential. When something isn’t right for you, your spirit feels it first.

Hey there, beautiful souls! You’re not stuck—you’re simply standing in a familiar place, afraid to step into the unknown. And that’s okay. We’ve all been there. That space between where you are and where you want to be can feel heavy, confusing, and even paralyzing. But what if the truth is that you’re not trapped at all? What if you’ve just been protecting yourself from the discomfort of growth?

This episode is your wake-up call—the reminder that your comfort zone may feel safe, but it’s also where dreams quietly die. Playing it safe might keep you from failing, but it also keeps you from flying.

Hey there, beautiful souls! On this episode I’m going to run through 20 positive affirmations for success, wealth, self-worth, and pure, unshakeable confidence. I want you to repeat each one out loud, right where you are. Feel the words in your chest. Don’t just say them; speak them into existence. Let's go!

When you speak positively, you begin to see the world differently. You attract peace instead of chaos, confidence instead of fear, and joy instead of doubt. Each time you choose words of life over words of limitation, you take back your power and shape your reality with intention and grace.

Hey there, beautiful souls! Today, we’re handing the mic over to you. This is our very first "Ask Alesha" episode, where we dive head-first into your most honest, urgent, and sometimes painful questions about love, dating, and everything in between.

If the war within is about overcoming internal conflict, relationships are often the biggest battlefield. Why? Because they force us to confront our fears, our insecurities, and our past wounds. Today we are answering relationship questions from our listeners!
