    Don’t Wait for Confidence. Build Evidence

    Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    You don’t need confidence to start. You need evidence. Tiny actions. Brave reps. Faithful little steps that give your brain something solid to hold onto. Proof that says, We’ve done hard things before. We can do this again. Confidence isn’t the prerequisite. It’s the fruit of showing up long before you feel ready.   Most of us stay stuck because we’re waiting to feel qualified, healed, calm, or magically fearless. We dress it up and call it wisdom, strategy, or “just praying about it a little longer.” But deep down, we know the truth: that perfect, confident moment we’re hoping for never actually arrives.   Confidence doesn’t get you moving. Courage does. Confident women don’t start being confident. They start wobbly, unsure, and a little sweaty. They take the next right step anyway. Over time, they build a history of bravery. A stack of real-life evidence that whispers, I survived that uncomfortable thing. I can do the next one too. And that evidence, not a quote or a pep talk, is what finally grows confidence that lasts.   Timestamps: (00:58) - You Don’t Need Confidence to Start, You Need Evidence (02:29) - Why Confidence Grows From Real Data (03:30) - How Your Brain Is Always Collecting Proof About Who You Are (06:03) - Confidence is Optional, But Courage is Commanded (08:07) - Practical Ways to Build Evidence Instead of Waiting to Feel Ready   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Alli’s Product Recommendation - LimonCello La Croix Wise Woman Era- Join Alli's Substack Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

    When Discipline Isn’t Working, Try Delight

    Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    You know that sinking feeling when you know exactly what to do, yet can’t make yourself do it. You’ve lined up accountability partners, downloaded habit trackers, given yourself pep talks, and muscled through with willpower, and still, nothing sticks. If motivation keeps ghosting you, this one’s for you.   Here’s the reframe most of us were never taught: this might not be a discipline problem. It could be a delightful problem. When growth feels like punishment, it never lasts. And when willpower runs out, and it always does, only joy keeps you moving. Real delight.   Today, we’re rethinking discipline from the ground up..not with more pressure, another color‑coded system, or more “try harder” energy that exhausts you before you start. We’ll use a smarter, kinder, more sustainable way to build consistency, one that works with your real life.   By the end, you’ll know how to create rhythms that feel lighter, habits that feel supportive, and a version of discipline that finally carries you forward.   Timestamps: (01:59) - Why Discipline With Delight Is How Real Change Actually Sticks (03:21) - Discipline Isn’t Broken.

    Habits That Are Ruining Your Confidence

    Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    It’s not always the big, dramatic failures that shake your confidence. Those are obvious—you see them coming and can move on. It’s the small, unnoticed habits that quietly undermine you, suggesting you’re not enough before you’re even aware of it.   Many women think their confidence struggles are from unachieved goals—the promotion they didn't win or the self they aren’t yet. But the true cause of low confidence lies elsewhere.   Your confidence isn’t gone; it’s worn down by unnoticed, repeated patterns—small, automatic habits that appear normal yet slowly erode self-belief.   In this episode, we expose the quiet habits that diminish confidence, using compassion and honesty. If you feel stuck or discouraged, this conversation will help name the real issue and offer a way to break the cycle.   Once you see the pattern, you can change it. So take a moment now to notice your patterns—and decide how you want to shift them. When you do, confidence stops being something you chase and becomes something you live from.   Timestamps: (02:42) - The Truth About Confidence No One Warns You About (03:04) - The 4 Everyday Habits Quietly Killing Your Confidence (09:24) - How God Renews You from the Inside Out: Thoughts, Habits, Rhythms (10:34) - 3 Simple Habits That Build Quiet, Unshakable Confidence   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:  Wise Woman Era - Join Alli's Substack Catalyst Mastermind Alli’s Product Recommendation - Earring Back Replacements Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!  I hope you loved this episode! 🎉Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so you never miss a thing.

    What to Quit in 2026 (So You Can Actually Grow)

    Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    Most women don’t need more goals. They need fewer obligations. That might feel countercultural. But if you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and still feeling behind, this episode gives language to what you’re carrying. The issue isn’t motivation—it’s overload.   This isn’t just about doing less to recover; it’s about choosing what truly matters. Growth comes from intentionally letting go of roles and habits that drain you, not from pushing yourself harder.   For 2026, remember: breakthrough won’t come from new planners, tighter schedules, or more hustle. It will come from releasing what no longer serves you and making room for what matters most.   Timestamps: (01:00) - Why Some Goals Need to Be Quit (04:13) - Letting Go of the Need to Prove Yourself (06:31) - Why Being Available to Everyone Is Costing You Everything (08:13) - Quitting Emotional Over-Functioning for Other People (09:46) - Stop Shrinking Yourself in Rooms You’re Meant to Grow In (11:24) - Practical Action Steps for Quitting What’s Holding You Back in 2026   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE Links to great things we discussed:    Wise Woman Method - Join Alli's Substack Catalyst Mastermind Alli’s Makeup Recommendation - REVLON ColorStay Multiplayer Liquid-Glide Eye Pencil Start your Free 30-day trial of Uplift!

    Closer to God in 2026: The Best of Scripture, Stillness & Spiritual Habits

    Subscribe to Alli's New Substack - Wise Woman Method    You know what changes everything? When spiritual practices shift from duties we think we owe God to rhythms that help us encounter Him in our everyday, ordinary, and imperfect lives. That’s the transformation we’ll explore together in today’s episode.   I gathered practical wisdom from Beth Moore, Sheila Walsh, Pete Greig, Havilah Cunnington, and Mark Batterson—voices who live what they teach. We discuss real ways to recognize God’s voice, pray boldly, engage Scripture deeply, and notice His presence in everyday moments—even the blurriest ones.   Spiritual growth isn’t a performance. It’s a relationship—a faithful choice to show up, lean in, and build habits that make space for God already inviting you closer.   Let these conversations inspire you and reveal how possible it is to build a life rooted in spiritual practices that truly connect you to God.   Timestamps: (01:15) -  The Four Ways God Speaks (and How to Recognize Them) (04:32) - Studying the Word and Stepping Into Your Calling (09:36) - Hearing God Through Scripture: A Simple Lectio Divina Practice (12:43) - How to Put the Power Back in Your Prayer Life (16:33) - Seeing and Understanding the Everyday Miracles Around You WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE   Links to great things we discussed:    Catalyst Mastermind The Uplift app is here!
