Meet Alisha L | Lifestyle Blogger & Podcast Host

We had the good fortune of connecting with Alisha L and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alisha, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand is my authenticity. Being authentic to my main purpose and goal has allowed me to stay true to myself when making business decisions, creating content, and connecting with others. I believe that the only person responsible for your success in life is you. Yes, you may get help along the way, but if you stay authentic and true to your goal, you will have success.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a South Florida lifestyle influencer and podcast host. HeyAlisha.com started out as a travel blog in 2014 as I wanted to document and share my experiences traveling all over the United States for work. During my travels, I spent a lot of time reading up on pop culture and what was going on in the world and… PIVOT! I transitioned my blog into a pop culture blog. Here’s the thing though…. it wasn’t gratifying. At all. I mean, no one wants to hear my take on KimYe. I don’t even want to hear my take on KimYe. Seriously. I wanted to share personal experiences and cultivate a space where people can be inspired, motivated, feel connected to others sharing similar experiences, and have a good laugh! So PIVOT… again – to a lifestyle brand. This is where I feel the most at home. With this in mind, Hey Alisha Shop was born, then shortly after, Chit Chat Connoisseur podcast. All of which had been a goal of mine, but without that focus of what I wanted my brand to be, I didn’t know how to get there. Sure there have been peaks and valleys along the way, but while wandering in this life journey, the lesson that keeps repeating itself over and over again is allowing myself to let go and allowing myself to BE ME. Live my best life. Live in faith. And choose joy always. I find that once you start living your life with this motto as a talisman, you begin to feel confident, trust in your choices, radiate good energy and live life gracefully and unapologetically. Hey Alisha is a brand representing authenticity, joy, and inspiration. As long as my brand encompasses those three attributes I know I am on the right path.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would certainly take them to the beach for barefoot dining at the Sea Level Restaurant and Ocean Bar in Fort Lauderdale. The food is delicious and the view is amazing. I also would catch the happy hour at Dragonfly Izakaya & Fish Market in Doral which has an Octopus Clay Pot dish which is *chefs kiss*. I have always been a fan of people watching, so I would probably take my friends to Doc B’s Restaurant & Bar in Coral Gables. It’s located on Miracle Mile which is the best place to hang out, grab a tasty drink, and meet new people from all over the world. Lastly, I am a huge fan of nature and the outdoors, so I would opt-in for a Sunday stroll through Fairchild Tropical Gardens in Pinecrest. They have trails with exotic trees and flowers and a gorgeous walk-through butterfly garden.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate this shoutout to all of my incredible supporters, friends, and family who have always encouraged me to continue moving forward with my passion and vision.
