Alessia's message is clear: the real essence of life is to embrace the process of personal evolution, and it all starts with the first, small, but powerful step of being truly aware. No fluff, just the real, actionable path to a new way of thinking and living.

A must-listen for those ready to revamp their lives.

• [10:40] To begin finding spirituality, doing what brings you peace and invite more of it in
• [11:15] Kelsey: Hypnotherapy peels back layers of pain and conditioning – reveals your authentic and divine self
• [12] Discovering and feeling self-love for the first time
• [12:30] A hole needing to be filled by spirituality – mentors all advised her of the importance of a spiritual practice but she resisted
• [13:05] How Kelsey met Jesus during hypnotherapy
• [14:30] We energetic beings and are always emitting frequency based on our emotions – our subconscious mind is like our antenna sending out a broadcast signal

• [23:20] Alessia: we are all made of the same stuff, which is also part of how the Law of Attraction works – is that part of why God is within us?
• [24] Free will and choice – how to have the authority of God within you and use it
• [24:45] Generational curses to break – one of the hardest to break is victim mentality
• [25:30] Jesus showing up for many people during hypnotherapy sessions – even non-believers

Have you ever had something in your life collapse that made way for something so much bigger? 2020 took me to my lowest point. In a pit of depression, I was cracked open and led to chase my dreams and become a corporate dropout.

I’m Alessia Citro, a wife and toddler mom living in San Clemente, CA. After working for Salesforce and Google, I quit a multiple six figure career in tech sales to pursue my calling of entrepreneurship and coaching. I had the good fortune to start a network marketing business a few months before COVID hit, and my team EXPLODED in the pandemic. It is thanks to that business that I realized my purpose in life is to motivate, mentor, inspire, and coach. And getting more specific - I know my narrower purpose is to help other women reclaim their mental health, start their own companies, spend more time with their families, build a legacy, and create the lives they dream of. This show is for YOU.

On The Corporate Dropout Podcast, there will be three episodes per week. A mini-episode every Monday on mindset, money mindset, manifestation or personal development. An interview with an entrepreneur who will share their story and inspire you to be your own boss. And another mini-episode on Thursday with a business tip that you can apply. We’ll cover everything from leadership, marketing, sales, operations and more, and these quick tips will help you elevate your business and take it to the next level.

I’m passionate about living life on my terms, and I’m here to help you do the same. I will challenge you to grow mentally, spiritually, energetically, and tactically, providing you with the blueprint to live your very best personal and professional life.

Let’s dare to drop out!
