The Alicia Ortman Podcast
For the woman who looks fine on the outside, but knows there’s more going on underneath.
The Alicia Ortman Podcast is a space for honest conversations about self-discovery, intentional living, personal growth, and the things women quietly carry while continuing to show up for everyone and everything around them.
Because sometimes you don’t need another productivity hack or five-step plan.
You need a question that makes you stop long enough to tell yourself the truth.
This podcast is about what’s underneath the goal.
I’ve always believed that it’s never really about the goal. It’s about who you become in pursuit of it.
And lately, I’ve become even more interested in the woman underneath all those goals, responsibilities, expectations, and roles.
What does she want?
What is she tired of carrying?
Where has she outgrown the way she’s been living?
What feels off, even when she can’t quite explain why?
What does she need more of?
What does she need to finally put down?
And who is she becoming now?
Those are the conversations we’re having here.
Some episodes will teach.
Some will tell stories.
Some will feel like sitting across the table from a friend having the conversation you didn’t realize you needed.
And many will leave you with a question.
Not because I have all the answers for your life, but because I want to help you ask better questions of yourself.
This is for you if…
You’re ambitious, capable, and used to figuring things out.
You’re probably the person other people count on.
Your life may even look pretty good from the outside.
You just know something feels off.
Come here.
We can get curious about it together.
New episodes drop every Tuesday morning.
