    Why I Made This for You:

    Hi, I’m Alyssa—licensed therapist and founder of Awakening Mountains.


    I made this guide for people like me and my clients: the ones who got the perfect attendance awards, who hold it all together, who show up for everyone else… and secretly wonder when they’ll be allowed to just rest.

    This isn’t a to-do list.

    It’s a permission slip

    What you get:

    A Nervous System Reset Toolkit for when you feel overwhelmed

    Boundary scripts that don’t come with a guilt hangover

    A self-check tool to stop carrying what’s not yours

    Reframes for resting without spiraling

    A reflective prompt for self-worth beyond productivity

    A gentle daily anchor routine that doesn’t require a 5am wake-up

    Bonus: A printable tracker + self-compassion check-in page

    Who is this for?

    You always feel like you have to do more to be “enough”

    You’re constantly overthinking, over-scheduling, and over-functioning

    You struggle to rest without guilt (or without explaining why)

    You want real tools, from a real therapist, that feel human—not clinical
