In this episode, Tracy Holland interviews Alyssa Carson, taking us on an exhilarating journey from NASA Space Camps to becoming an astronaut trainee. Alyssa enlightens us on how she's been recognized globally for her achievements in space exploration, speaking at events worldwide while pursuing her PhD at the age of 22.

Alyssa Carson is not only a certified pilot and skydiver but also is all about ways to conquer fear and self-doubt through daily self-talk and staying focused on her purpose. This is the epic part of the conversation – Alyssa feels all the fear, and all the feels, but does it anyway! Strap in and prepare to be inspired by Alyssa's incredible determination, resilience, and willingness to push boundaries.

Episode highlights that'll blow your mind:

• Space exploration, astrobiology, and the possibility of alien life: Alyssa Carson, age 22, is a space enthusiast and astrobiology researcher pursuing a PhD in space and planetary science at the University of Arkansas.

What are you like at dealing with change when it's something that's inevitable and often outside your control? 

Even if it is in your control, change can still be hard. It's something that I talk about a lot because it's a really important conversation to help arm you with more tools and awareness around why change is so scary and why you're so resistant to it when it happens. 

I invited Beccy Freeman to share how women navigate change, particularly as they come towards the second half of their life.

Discover:-

- Why change seems so hard

- What kind of changes are common for women nearing or in the 2nd half of life

- Tools that make all the difference 

- The importance of rest

- The hormonal changes happen and how to manage them

- How to embrace all of it

- Ways to have fun

Dr. Rupa Wong, examines the narrative of female competitiveness. Is it always true? She discusses the ways that high achieving women can lift each other up, instead of feeling threatened by another woman's success.

Self-care is not what you think it is! It's not a spa day, a retreat, or yoga. True self-care is recognizing your emotional needs and implementing universally available strategies to meet your needs for yourself, not so that you can do more for others.

Self-care is not something you do so that you can do something else, be a better mother, volunteer more, or work more, it is about caring for yourself.

When a person’s cup is filled, they will be able to be a better mother, volunteer more, or work more. Self-care has to be for us. We are people who deserve to be cared for first.
