Hey, I’m Alisha. A wife, mom, fitness/nutrition/lifestyle coach. I dieted for over a decade, losing and regaining the same weight over and over. I was not only chasing a number on the scale, but I was also trying to be everything to everyone, which only left me feeling more exhausted and worse about myself.
I finally realized that if I was going to show up as the wife and mom I wanted and find freedom in my health I needed to work on my relationship to food, exercise, my body, and myself. I learned about the power of changing our brain (aka our thinking) - and our behavior- through habits that supported the healthy lifestyle that I craved. And now I’m ready to share everything I’ve learned with you!

Reclaim Your Fitness Identity: How to Get Back Into Working Out After 35
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt like a stranger in your own body even though you used to have fitness completely dialed in? You had the routine. The rhythm. Exercise was just part of who you were. And then life happened: kids, career, the relentless pace of doing everything for everyone, and that version of you quietly got set aside.
In this episode of The Strong(HER) Way, host Alisha Carlson is speaking directly to the woman who doesn't need a dramatic reinvention — she needs permission to re-enter without the shame spiral.
Alisha breaks down why diet culture's obsession with "Day 1" is actually working against you, why your past fitness experiences still count (more than you think), and how to start building real, sustainable momentum again without blowing up your whole life to do it.
This isn't about getting back to who you were. It's about reconnecting with who you've always been and stepping back into your strength.
What you’ll learn inside this episode:
Why you are not starting from scratch, and the mindset shift that changes everything
How diet culture's "Day 1" cycle keeps women trapped in a loop of hope and shame
The difference between reinvention and re-entry, and why it matters for long-term success
A practical 3-part framework for returning to fitness in a way that actually sticks
How to reconnect with your deeper why so motivation doesn't disappear on a hard week
Why waiting to feel "ready" is costing you more than the awkward first workout will
