what I hope for you here…

That you see yourself in the words you read.
That you feel less alone in your healing journey.
That you come away with a deeper inner-standing of who you are—and even more so, who you are not.
Who you never have been, but were illusioned to believe.

That you see the wholeness of you with compassion.
That the veil is lifted.
And you remember the truth:
You are already enough.
And it is safe to take up space as your most authentic expression of self.


what you’ll get as a free subscriber…

💭 Weekly newsletters and podcast episodes on boundaries, self-trust, emotional safety, and healing codependency through shadow work + inner child healing

✨ Monthly themes with reflection prompts to support your awareness

💌 A loving nudge in your inbox when new episodes drop or early access to transformational offerings

This is for you if you’re starting to recognize the patterns, and want a space that speaks your language and helps you feel less alone.

“I feel like I can finally exhale when I read your words. It’s like someone is putting language to things I’ve felt for years but didn’t know how to express.”

“Your podcast and posts have changed the way I relate to myself and my partner. I’m finally learning to take responsibility without shaming myself.”

join the Codependency Alchemy Membership as a paid subscriber…

The paid membership is where we stop just learning about healing — and start embodying it. It’s for the ones who are ready to move from “I know this is a pattern” to “I have the tools and support to shift it.”

Inside the membership you’ll receive:

📚 Full access to The Gems 💎and posts From My Journal ✍🏾— my archive of shadow work prompts, nervous system tools, healing rituals, and reflection practices

💬 A private community chat with weekly shadow work threads, AMA Chats, and a place to receive support from a like-minded community

🎥 9+ Masterclasses on boundaries, triggers, people-pleasing, self-trust, and emotional regulation

🌹 Healing the Mother Wound: 30-Day Journey — a self-paced experience with daily reflections and 15 guided meditations to reconnect with your inner child, release shame, and reparent yourself so that you can release the fear of being too much, stop performing for love, and start rebuilding unshakeable self-trust and confidence.

→ That’s over $900 in transformation tools and practices for less than a single therapy session because I believe we should all have access to this type of support and healing.

This is your space if you’re craving consistent support that meets you in the real, raw, beautiful middle of your healing work. If you’re ready to stop spiraling and start anchoring into self-trust, this is your space.

“You say the hard things with so much softness. I never feel judged here, only seen and reminded that I’m not alone.”

“This subscription has become a sacred part of my week. The prompts help me pause, reflect, and actually feel my feelings in a way that feels safe.”

“I come here when I forget who I am. Your work brings me back to myself every time.”

want to go deeper?

The Inner Circle is an exclusive space for those who want more intimacy, more integration, and monthly space to actually do the work— together.

As a member of the Inner Circle, you’ll receive:

  • Everything inside the paid membership

  • A monthly guided practice call where we gather in real time to explore the theme, connect in ritual, and go deeper in community

Because doing this work in community doesn’t just help you “understand your patterns.”
It softens your inner critic.
It rewires how you respond when you’re triggered.
It teaches your body what safety feels like so that you can set boundaries without spiraling, receive love without abandoning yourself, and show up in your relationships with more clarity, compassion, and peace.

You’ll be held, witnessed, and supported in a way that gently reshapes how you relate to yourself, and to the people you love.

Founding Member access opens soon.


hi babes, my name is Alyssa Zander, and I have been a writer since I was a little girl…

The pen and paper would listen when it felt like no one else could. My journals held all the versions of me I didn’t know how to say out loud—the parts of me I silenced to survive. The parts I performed over. The parts I was scared to let be seen.

And then, in April 2023, something cracked me open.

I propped my phone on a windowsill, borrowed a mic from my neighbor,
and sat with my body buzzing with anxiety as I recorded the first episode of my podcast.

The intrusive thoughts were loud:

“Who’s even going to care?”
“Why would anyone listen to my messy AF story?”
“What if they hear it?!” (I still don’t know who “they” are. Probably someone from high school, or an ex…)

But that episode became the beginning.
Of healing my fear of being seen.
Of untangling myself from the performance of being perceived as “good.”
Of reclaiming my voice. My truth. My wholeness.

Creating Codependency Alchemy became a love letter to myself.
A way to stop hiding.
A place to start telling the hard truths.
To take radical responsibility for my relationships—and for my life.

Codependency Alchemy is a living, breathing body of work. A devotion. A gathering place for remembering who you are beneath the roles you were taught to play. It is a movement of women choosing personal responsibility over perfection, self-compassion over shame, and sovereignty over self-abandonment

Subscribe below to start your journey — whether you’re just beginning to see the patterns or ready to alchemize them.

This isn’t just a newsletter.
It’s a homecoming.

See you inside,
Alyssa
