Wellness Without Rules | Alyssa Lynch on Balance, Insomnia & Creative Rituals
Wed Sep 17 2025
Lo heads to Brentwood, California, to meet actress and creator Alyssa Lynch for smoothies, sunshine, and some real talk about wellness. From acting in Vancouver to building a career in content creation, Alyssa opens up about her journey toward living a lighter, happier life — one that’s grounded in spirituality, self-awareness, and the freedom to define wellness on her own terms.
They tackle myths and truths about matcha, morning routines, insomnia, and the myth that workouts only “count” if they leave you breathless. Alyssa shares candidly about her three-year struggle with sleep, why Type-A routines never fully worked for her, and how she now embraces presence, creativity, and community as her ultimate self-care.
This season finale is equal parts soothing and inspiring — reminding us that balance isn’t about perfection, but about filling your cup in ways that truly sustain you.
Key Takeaways:
1. Why matcha is more than just a trend — and the cultural roots behind it
2. The pros and cons of morning routines (and why flexibility might be healthier)
3. Alyssa’s journey with insomnia and how she manages a sensitive nervous system
4. The shift from high-intensity workouts to low-impact movement for long-term wellness
5. Why protecting your energy and choosing your circle matters for mental health
6. The surprising role of creativity — from music to color walks to cooking — in building resilience
