Athlete, college student, and occasional overthinker, Alisha loves to talk about life’s twists, turns, and everything in between. Thankfully she has a microphone and a podcast to keep track of her rambles... Initially a podcast about balancing sports and studies, Get A Grip has shifted to dive into the heart of what it means to grow up, find your passion, and make sense of the world around you. From interviews, chats with friends, random stories from years ago, pondering, or advice, each episode is unique. You never know what's on Alisha's mind, but that's what keeps it authentic.
In this episode, I’m kicking off a brand-new chapter for the podcast (and my life). I’ll be diving into why I’ve decided to switch things up, what you can expect from here on out, and how starting university has thrown me into a whole new world of adulting—like budgeting and cooking.
If you’ve ever felt a mix of excitement and fear about big life changes, trust me, you’re not alone! Join me as I get real about expectations versus reality, learning to face those first-year fears, and figure out how actually to be an adult.
