What's the Easiest Way to Start an Online Business in 2026?

Everyone's talking about starting an online business. But where do you actually begin? Alice digs into the Dear Alice inbox this episode, answering two questions she's been hearing a lot lately...from Melissa, who has zero idea what kind of business to start, and from Jen, who wants to know if creating her own products is even necessary. Alice gets practical and specific...walking through how to pick a topic, how to find products to promote without making a single thing yourself, and why the businesses that stand out right now are the ones focused on genuine connection over endless content output. One gem to take with you: Your social media following can disappear overnight. Your email list goes wherever you go. Alice explains why building one...even a tiny one...from the very beginning is the single most important move a new online business owner can make.

What to Do When You Don't Know What To Do

In this refreshingly honest episode, Alice Seba hits record mid-walk...because sometimes the best way to get unstuck is to just start. She opens up about turning 54, the social media spiral that had her convinced her health goals were hopeless, and how simply showing up (even when results were slow) changed everything. But this episode goes deeper than wellness. Alice tackles the invisible weight we carry from other people...the ones who drain our energy, don't call back, or just won't do what we think they should. Her take? Stop waiting for them to change. The real power is in becoming unbothered and channeling that energy into the life you actually want to build. Whether you're trying to get healthier, grow a business, or just find five minutes for yourself as a parent or caregiver, Alice offers something rare: no-nonsense encouragement that meets you exactly where you are. This is #lifestyleselfmade...and this episode is proof that clarity doesn't wait for the perfect moment. Sometimes it just needs a good pair of walking shoes.

How to Have a Perfect Life (Cough, Cough)

There's really no such thing as perfection, but some of the biggest things that keeps us from living OUR version of a perfect life is... * Unrealistic expectations (or any expectations at all) * Lack of balancing our life's priorities, so we see what's truly important * Being distracted by shiny objects and/or crippling self-doubt ..but when we change our mindset and get entered around our priorities, what our life should look like becomes a lot clearer.  Listen in as Alice gives you questions to ask yourself and space for reflection.

Is it Resilience or Is It Burnout?
