Mindset Mastery Moments with Dr. Alisa Whyte

What happens when identity, power, and morality collide at the turn of a millennium?
In this intellectually charged episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with author T. Awdry Winks to explore his critically acclaimed novel At the Millennium: Paradise Crossed — a modern mythology that confronts identity, oppression, justice, and belonging in contemporary America.
Through allegory and symbolism, Paradise Crossed reimagines Eden in a capitalistic, warmongering epoch shaped by racial, immigrant, sexual, and gender identity struggles. This conversation goes beyond politics and into philosophy — examining trans identity as an expression of becoming, the moral architecture of oppression and injustice, and the role of immigration in shaping modern consciousness.
Recognized by Midwest Book Review and recommended for community, college, and university literary collections, this episode challenges listeners to think deeper about who we are, who we exclude, and what stories still have the power to reshape society.
This is not a light listen. It’s a thinking episode — for readers, leaders, creatives, and anyone willing to interrogate the moment we’re living in.

High-achieving women are brilliant at building careers, businesses, and success—but many still feel stuck, unseen, or unsatisfied in love. Why?
In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Riana Malia, a Board-Certified Neurosomatic Practitioner and Identity Architect for High-Achieving Women™, to unpack the real reason success doesn’t automatically translate into extraordinary partnership.
This conversation goes beyond mindset and surface-level healing. Riana explains how subconscious wiring, nervous system safety, and emotional residue quietly shape attraction patterns—often keeping successful women stuck in cycles of emotionally unavailable or misaligned relationships.
If you’ve “done the work” but still feel like love is the missing piece, this episode will give you clarity, language, and a new path forward—without self-blame or starting over.
🎙️ WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Why willpower and communication skills aren’t enough to change relationship patterns
How subconscious wiring—not logic—drives attraction
What “emotional residue” is and how it silently shapes your love life
Why high-achieving women often choose familiarity over fulfillment
How identity alignment creates emotional safety and sustainable love
What extraordinary love actually requires at the nervous-system level

Many high-achieving, capable adults don’t identify as “traumatized” — yet they feel emotionally drained, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they can’t quite explain.
In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Dr. Shahrzad Jalali — clinical psychologist, trauma specialist, founder of Align Remedy, and author of the upcoming book The Fire That Makes Us — to unpack the often-overlooked impact of silent trauma.
This conversation moves beyond surface-level mindset work and explores how unresolved trauma quietly shapes identity, performance, relationships, and leadership — even in high-functioning individuals who appear “fine” on the outside.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
What silent trauma is and why it often goes unrecognized
How trauma becomes a pattern — not just a past event
Why mindset shifts don’t last without nervous system regulation
How people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overachievement can be survival responses
Practical ways to begin reclaiming emotional agency and personal power
Dr. Jalali weaves together neuroscience, clinical insight, and lived experience, offering nervous-system-based tools that help listeners move from survival mode into regulation, alignment, and self-authority.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still feel internally misaligned, this episode gives language to what you’ve been carrying — and illuminates a clear path forward.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Kelly Chase—former reality TV star turned empowerment coach—for an honest conversation about healing, self-worth, and the courage to rebuild after trauma. Kelly opens up about her journey from surviving domestic abuse to reclaiming her voice, identity, and purpose through self-love and personal growth.
This episode goes beyond surface-level empowerment and dives into the emotional realities of relationships after trauma. You’ll hear why being truly seen and heard is foundational to healthy connection, how unresolved wounds can lead to self-sabotage, and why slowing down is essential for authentic intimacy. Kelly and Dr. Alisa explore the complexities of love, rejection, and identity—especially in the aftermath of reality TV and life-altering experiences.
Kelly also shares her bold decision to leave the corporate world to pursue coaching, the transformative power of subconscious reprogramming and somatic work, and how faith has helped her trust life’s waves rather than resist them. At its core, this conversation is about resilience, alignment, and empowering women to embrace both love and abundance without guilt or fear.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected in relationships… struggled to trust yourself after trauma… or wondered how to create a life rooted in emotional depth, faith, and freedom—this episode is a reminder that healing is not a destination, but a lifelong act of self-discovery.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about presence, connection, and choosing yourself—again and again.
