In this episode of Energy Talks, we explore a side of alcohol that’s often overlooked in the wellness space, and that’s surrounding its energetic impact. Rather than label it good or bad, we dive into how alcohol can influence our creativity, connection, and emotional state depending on the context, culture, and our relationship with it. From vineyard stories in Tuscany, to beachside Proseccos in Switzerland, this episode is about tuning into what truly works for you.

Tune in for more on:

• Why alcohol isn’t just “good” or “bad”, it’s about energy, intention, and self-awareness.
• How American and European drinking cultures shape our experiences and boundaries.
• Vanessa’s perspective on embracing the hangover and why it can be oddly healing.
• Alyssa’s approach to mindful drinking and how the right cocktail can support balance.
• The surprising emotional clarity and creativity that can come after a drink or two.
• What a fertility doctor taught Alyssa about stress, control, and letting go.
• How alcohol can break down walls and deepen social and soulful connection.

In this episode of Energy Talks with Vanessa & Alyssa, we’re getting real about the energy of social media, how it can uplift, distract, isolate, or inspire. Alyssa shares how taking a break from Instagram after her pregnancy loss became a pivotal step in her healing journey, leading to unexpected clarity and connection. We reflect on the addictive nature of digital life, how to set healthier boundaries, and why presence is a gift we can give ourselves. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, addicted, or unseen in the scroll, this conversation is your reminder that the most important connection is the one with yourself.

Tune in for more on:

• Why Alyssa went “dark” on social media and how it opened the door to deeper healing.
• How the pressure to stay “connected” can actually pull us away from real presence and authenticity.
• The surprising gifts of solitude, boundaries, and disconnecting from the scroll.
• Why mindfulness around what we consume, online and off, matters for our energy and well-being.
• The emotional aftermath of pregnancy loss and how authentic online sharing created unexpected community and healing.
• How to teach our kids (and remind ourselves) to stay connected to their own energy in a hyper-connected world.
• A candid look at perfectionism, guilt, and how posting authentically can still be powerful without draining your spirit.
