Are you crushing the to-do list but quietly crumbling inside? Do you look productive but feel depleted?

In this episode of Aligned & Accountable, Mellisa Alfaro pulls back the curtain on the sneaky kind of burnout that high-achieving mompreneurs often miss—the kind that hides under “busy,” “booked out,” and “being everything to everyone.” If you’ve been chasing productivity but losing your spark, this conversation is your wake-up call and your way out.

You’ll discover:

• 🔥 The 4 silent signs of burnout that high-capacity women ignore
• 
  
• 🧠 The hidden beliefs fueling your burnout (and how to rewrite them)
• 
  
• 🛠️ Practical steps to shift from burnout to aligned execution
• 
  
• 🛑 Why your nervous system is part of your business strategy
• 
  
• 💡 The tools, mindset shifts, and boundaries Mellisa uses to protect her energy while raising six kids and running multiple businesses

This isn’t about quitting your business. It’s about reclaiming it—and yourself.

Whether you’re building between nap times or scaling to six figures, this episode will help you stop justifying the hustle and start building sustainably—with peace, power, and purpose.

How about the impact they make each and every day?

Have you ever just taken the time to look at someone else’s hands and try to visualize what they do for work? How about what they do in their off time?

Have you ever taken the time to look at YOUR OWN hands and see the condition they are in based on your own lifestyle, both professionally and personally?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO if a soldier sitting next to you on a plane said "Thank you for the hand cream.  Dry hands are harder to handle than my fear.  Thanks for the offer to send some more over to me where I'm deployed, but truthfully, unless the whole unit gets some, it's not fair."

Today’s show is about a beautiful soul who was on a plane one day traveling next to a soldier with horribly cracked and sunburnt hands having a casual conversation, Mrs. Trish Shallenberger - Founder and CEO of A Soldier’s Hands.

Tammy also wrote a book called Becoming Me: 10 Ways to Affirming Self-Love You can find it on Amazon, which I listed in the description below. I am not an affiliate in any way, just giving some love and sharing some amazing work. 

Beyond The Curves was developed to encourage women to truly show what matters in life is what is on the inside—and not how the outside looks. It is particularly important to go “Beyond The Curves” since everyone knows that no two women are shaped alike—every one of them has her own shape, size, and level (or lack thereof) of self-confidence, which is usually based on her looks.

Many women-- no matter the shape, size or age --sometimes need motivation and reassurance that they are beautiful. Beyond The Curves is here to encourage and teach women to embrace their curves and also learn self-worth and self-love.

I am sure you have had, as have I, those moments when we were looking at an ad on television or in a magazine with this “ideal” image in front of us wondering, wishing to look like them. I am not enough unless I look like that. The world does not accept me unless I look like that. The sad thing is, it begins at such a young age and is portrayed everywhere in life still today.

To be honest, I have been a smaller size most of all of my life. I was in the Army at age 18 and was very active. I mean, I used to jump out of airplanes. I never watched what I ate, and I still don’t today because I believe I should be able to eat whatever I want, in moderation. 

Up until I had my 6th child, I used to be able to lose weight and get back into some sort of healthy image, but even then, I struggled with my image. I never thought I was skinny enough or looked good enough even when I used to be 120-130’s AND before kids even. So even though someone is tall, short, bigger, smaller - that does NOT define who you are. Look at Fluffy :) He is super funny, he is successful, and he is not small. He is someone I would, now, idolize and envision being more like more than a tall beautiful model on the cover of Vogue.

Tammy would say that it is not just about the body, but about life’s image at every point and curve that life throws at you. It's about taking the proper and healthy steps. Aside from checking out her website, the first step I would say would be to Take the Pledge:

THE PLEDGE:

I Pledge...

that my body may not be perfect but it's beautiful at whatever size I am. I will walk with my head held high because.

I Pledge to LOVE ME!

I Pledge to be Beyond the Curves!

I Pledge to embrace my Curves

I am committed to being Confident, Happy and Positive.

I embrace every curve. I am comfortable in my skin.

I will no longer dislike my body but embrace it.

I'm more than my CURVES!

I AM BEYOND THE CURVES 

ACTION STEP:

I cannot go without mentioning a delicious recipe using one of my favorite wines that help support nonprofits every day. So this is what I want you to do:

Read the pledge fully through, let it sink in, grab your Piña Colada Wine Punch (directions in the description below), stand straight up in a firm bold stance, take a sip, and read out loud the pledge- own it, be it, do it!

She is the youngest child of her siblings, Tamilla came from a middle-class family, where both of her parents migrated from the Caribbean Islands (Bahamas & Jamaica). She is passionate about family, community, helping, and empowering others. Many would describe her as "Giving you her last or giving you the shirt off her back.

On Memorial Day, we remember with gratitude the heroes who died for our country and our freedom. We are truly fortunate to live in a nation where we can pursue our hopes and dreams.

We owe our freedom to the ultimate sacrifice my fellow service members made. As you enjoy the holiday, please take a moment to reflect on the many blessings that come with being an American and remember not only the people who died to make that possible but also their families.

I will be celebrating with a moment of silence and a bottle of bubbly. To calmly reflect on where I have been as a person, a soldier, and where I am today.

Practicing Self-Care during Mental Health Awareness month is so important. The past year has challenged us mentally, physically, and emotionally. During times of stress and anxiety, we must do all that we can to take care of our well-being in every manner possible. Now more than ever, it’s important for us to practice the art of self-care. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I will be sharing tips for simple practices you can start at home to foster more connection both with yourself and others. 

-Reach out to a loved one

-Read a book (with a glass of wine :) )

-Wind down before bed

-Schedule "ME-Time"

-Draw a relaxing bubble bath (with a glass of wine)

I was there supporting The Heart Foundation to give back to the heart in support of their vision seeks to create a world where no life is lost to heart disease.

Kimberly Cronin was there supporting Chill Cares: they host fun, community events to make an impact and raise awareness and funds to support those in our community who are battling cancer and those who support them.

Jennifer O'donnell was supporting Liberty Lake Foundation, Inc: an organization that raises money to help kids go to camp that doesn’t have the money or may want to try it out.

Sarah Cook was supporting League of NH Craftsman Foundation Inc: To advance, cultivate, and champion excellence in fine craft through educational programming, leadership initiatives, marketplace strategies, and support services.

Christy Allen was there supporting LLS, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as her son was diagnosed at 18 months of age.

Nikki Fries was supporting the Anxiety and Depression Initiative.

We got to sip a glass of hope, share our charities, talk about the wine and our favorites, and learn about the company where this AHMAZING wine and heart of good comes from.

I saw firsthand nonprofits at work and how they continued to give hope when all felt lost. Without the nonprofits, Ronald McDonald House is one, I don't know where we would have been.

We had 4 other children left behind six to seven hours away. We commuted back and forth for approximately four months in order to spend time with our son. It was difficult at times to find lodging for our family and it was during the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas).

Because of our experience, I wanted to give back where I could to nonprofits supporting families like mine in hard times.
