ALUVE w/ Alisha Kelly

ALUVE means ‘the way things make you feel’ and these Sheilas know that 'you gotta feel it to heal it'.

 

In honour of Suicide Prevention Month, this episode takes a deep dive into the daunting unfiltered reality of mental health including the consequences of mental illness, the Sheilas own personal battles in the depths of their despair, the many healing remedies and tools used throughout their journey’s and on a daily basis, and every iconic and ironic synchronicity and kick up the ass from the universe in between.

We discover why Alisha started ALUVE; the one stop shop for all your holistic health needs, the much needed guidance this platform provides, how she wanted to create a supportive space in which she required, her challenging yet empowering story of hitting rock bottom, how she utilised her crazy wild COVID situation to self-educate and up level, insight into her experience at a vipassana retreat, and the powerful influence of discovering and healing herself by working with and for her own inner child.

The sheila’s discuss their frustrations with the saturated coaching industry, how you can’t teach lived experienced, modern day awareness around mental illness and what once was an extremely secretive taboo subject, why you can’t save people, the challenging normalisation of lifetime subscriptions to the pharmaceutical industry, how this magic pill band-aid effect process can be a detriment in limiting people from truly healing, and that whilst holistic healing practices are necessary in order to deepen mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual connections and resilience: the ‘real work’ begins when we return to challenges of society and its everyday realities.

 

**TRIGGER WARNING**

This episode contains brutal truth bombs and unfiltered stories about the harsh reality of mental illness, battles with suicidal ideation and real talk about the dark challenges not a whole lot of humans are prepared to tell you about. 

So please... If you or anyone you know is struggling; seek professional help. Suicide is no joke; mental illness is real and we all have times of struggle and heavy emotions that require support and nurturing. It’s a given. Let's make it our jobs to normalise feeling feelings (even the yucky ones), empower yourself and those around you by prioritising personal development and utilise the many free-of-charge self-help modalities shared throughout this inspirational chat to the Queen of holistic health herself. 

 

Be proactive, not reactive…. And do yourself a favour by following @alishakelly and @aluve because your future self will thank you for it.
