We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Alyssa Hatchard. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Alyssa below.

Alyssa , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

The mission behind my work is to guide people towards living a healthier, balanced, soul-led lifestyle, helping them align their careers, relationships, and personal lives with their true purpose. This mission is deeply meaningful to me because I’ve personally walked through the challenges of feeling disconnected and misaligned. For years, I followed paths that didn’t fully reflect who I was, which led me to burnout and a sense of stagnation.

It wasn’t until I went through my own transformation—letting go of a career that didn’t serve me and embracing my passion for holistic healing and personal development—that I realized how life-changing it is to live in alignment with your truth. I saw firsthand the incredible difference it made in my life: emotionally, spiritually, and even professionally.

That’s why I’m so passionate about helping others make that same shift. I believe that everyone deserves to live a life that feels purposeful, fulfilling, and authentic. My mission is not just about career transformation or manifesting goals, but about helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom and create lives that reflect who they truly are. Seeing my clients experience that shift is what drives me every day—it’s more than just work; it’s my calling.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Hi! I’m Alyssa, and I’m a transformational coach, career consultant, and Reiki Master Teacher. My journey into this work began with my own deep desire to live a life that felt truly aligned with my purpose. For years, I worked in various industries—psychology, international non-profits, mental health services—and while I was passionate about helping people, I often felt disconnected from my true calling. It wasn’t until I immersed myself in holistic healing and energy work, paired with my love for guiding others, that I found my path.

I now offer a range of services, including one-on-one and VIP coaching, career consulting, Reiki sessions, and energy therapy. My clients come to me when they’re feeling stuck, misaligned, or unfulfilled in their careers or personal lives. What sets me apart is my unique approach—I integrate practical career strategies with deep inner work, energy healing, and mindset shifts. I help people not only gain clarity on their goals but also align their energy and mindset to actually achieve them. It’s about creating transformation on every level: mental, emotional, and spiritual.

One of the things I’m most proud of is how my work impacts people’s lives in profound ways. I’ve had clients transition from jobs that drained their energy to careers that light them up. I’ve helped people tap into their inner strength, move through fear, and create real change. My podcast, Soul Pathways, has reached listeners in over 20 countries, and my online presence has grown into a community of people who are ready to embrace a soul-led life.

For potential clients and followers, I want them to know that my work is about more than just setting goals or manifesting dreams—it’s about helping you create a life that feels authentic to who you are. I believe strongly in the power of energy alignment, personal empowerment, and intentional action. Whether you’re seeking career transformation, personal healing, or spiritual growth, my mission is to support you every step of the way. I’m here to help you unlock your potential and step into the next chapter of your life with confidence and purpose.

In everything I do, I strive to create a safe, supportive space for people to explore, heal, and transform. My services are tailored to meet each person where they are, because I know that transformation looks different for everyone.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

The first book that comes to mind is “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. Clear’s insights into habit formation and the power of incremental change have had a profound impact on both my personal and professional life. The book provides practical strategies for creating lasting habits by focusing on small, consistent changes. This philosophy has helped me build effective routines and instill a culture of continuous improvement within my team, highlighting the importance of focusing on processes and small wins to drive long-term success.

Secondly, the book “Dare to Lead” by Brené Brown. Brené Brown’s exploration of vulnerability, courage, and empathy in leadership has been transformative for my approach to management. Her emphasis on leading with authenticity and creating a culture where team members feel safe to take risks has inspired me to foster an environment that values emotional intelligence and open communication. It has reinforced my belief in the power of empathetic leadership to drive meaningful connections and high performance.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

One of the most defining moments of resilience in my journey occurred a few years ago when I decided to pivot my career from a stable, traditional role to fully embracing my passion for holistic healing and transformational coaching.

At the time, I was working in a well-established career that offered financial security but left me feeling unfulfilled. I had a deep sense that I was meant to be doing something more aligned with my true self—something that combined my knowledge of psychology, my experiences in holistic practices, and my desire to help others lead more balanced lives.

The decision to leave my 9-5 job was not easy. It involved a significant financial risk, uncertainty about the future, and a fear of judgment from those around me. Despite my growing sense of purpose, there were days when self-doubt was overwhelming. I questioned whether I was making the right choice and whether I had the skills and resources needed to succeed.

During this period, I faced numerous challenges. There were moments of financial strain, and at times, the fear of failure felt paralyzing. I vividly remember a particular instance when I had just started offering one-on-one coaching sessions and had only a few clients. It was a critical point where I needed to either push through the uncertainty or give up and return to my previous career.

What kept me going was a combination of determination and a deep sense of purpose. I reminded myself of why I started this journey in the first place—the desire to live authentically and to help others do the same. I drew strength from the support of a few close friends and mentors who believed in my vision and encouraged me to persevere.

I also focused on small, actionable steps to build my business. I dedicated myself to learning more about digital marketing, refining my coaching techniques, and connecting with like-minded individuals in the holistic community. Each small success, whether it was gaining a new client or receiving positive feedback, served as a reminder of why I had taken this leap.

Gradually, the hard work began to pay off. My client base grew, and I found a rhythm in my new role. I also became more confident in my abilities and saw the positive impact I was making in others’ lives. Looking back, I realized that this period of resilience was not just about overcoming external challenges but also about transforming my own mindset and embracing a new way of being.
