What Does It Mean to Relish Your Life? (Relish Podcast Ep. 1)

Welcome to the very first episode of the Relish Podcast with Alyssia Sheikh! 🎉 If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of self-improvement—constantly fixing, striving, and waiting to finally feel “enough”—this conversation is for you.

In this kickoff episode, Alyssia shares why she created Relish and what it means to savor life, right now. Instead of focusing all of our energy on what’s broken, what would happen if we flipped the script and put joy, presence, and meaning at the center of our growth?

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Alyssia’s story: from YouTube creator to mindfulness teacher and coach
• The real reason she chose to brand this podcast under her own name
• Why belonging and identity have been central to her own growth journey
• How the word “Relish” evolved from food into a philosophy of life
• An invitation to step off the hamster wheel of self-improvement and reclaim joy

Key Quote:

“What if 80% of your energy went toward joy, meaning, and what lights you up—and just 20% toward healing? You’re still doing the work, but from love, not lack.”
