Musings of The Unicorn Human

🎙️Episode 27 - Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

Sometimes you’re not just tired—you’re tired of being tired. In this raw, honest, and beautifully human episode, Alyssa dives deep into what it really feels like to live in an exhausted body and an overworked soul. Through laughter, storytelling, and a few unfiltered truths, she unpacks the invisible work of survival, the emotional cost of pretending you’re fine, and the quiet victories that deserve to be celebrated. With her signature blend of humor, compassion, and Alyssa Sparkle, she reminds listeners that even in the hardest seasons, you are not lazy, you are not broken—you’re healing in real time. This episode is a love letter to every weary heart that keeps showing up anyway.

🎙️ Episode 26: My Body: The Overdramatic Roommate

If your body were a person, would you two even get along? In this funny, painfully relatable episode, Alyssa imagines her body as a moody, unpredictable roommate who always cancels plans, eats her snacks, and throws tantrums for attention. Through laughter, storytelling, and hard truth, she explores what it’s like to live in a body that’s constantly fighting, aching, and yet—miraculously—still showing up. Equal parts comedy and compassion, My Body: The Overdramatic Roommate is a love letter to every listener trying to make peace with the body they didn’t choose but can’t live without.

🎙️ Episode 25 - Snack Fantasies & Food Grief

What happens when comfort food becomes off-limits? In this heartfelt (and slightly hilarious) episode, Alyssa dives into the wild world of food cravings, forbidden snacks, and the emotional rollercoaster that comes when you have to say goodbye to your favorite comfort meals. From Pop-Tart love letters and Funyun fantasies to the five stages of food grief, she’ll have you laughing one minute and nodding through tears the next. But beneath the humor is something deeper — a reminder that comfort can come from more than a plate of food, and healing sometimes means learning to feed your soul in new ways.

🎙️Episode 24 - The Art of Waiting (and Losing Your Patience Gracefully)

Waiting isn’t just sitting around — it’s a full-time job that nobody signed up for. In this episode, Alyssa dives into the hilarious, frustrating, and downright ridiculous side of waiting. From DMV-level time warps and dramatic waiting-room coughers to “Patience Olympics” and the weird thoughts that show up when boredom hits, she unpacks it all with humor and honesty. And because she’s Alyssa, there’s always a sparkle of truth woven in: waiting might feel like wasted time, but maybe it’s the seasoning that prepares us for what’s next.

🎙️ Episode 23 - Things They Don’t Tell You About Surgery Prep

Surgery prep isn’t just about fasting after midnight and showing up on time — it’s about clear-liquid confusion, hospital gowns that double as humiliation capes, midnight cleaning frenzies, and cravings for foods you didn’t even like until you were told you couldn’t have them. In this episode, Alyssa pulls back the curtain on the real things nobody tells you about getting ready for surgery. With humor, sass, and her signature sparkle, she turns the waiting game into a comedy set you’ll recognize if you’ve ever been in medical limbo — and maybe laugh through if you’re there right now.
