You know how some people just make you feel instantly safe—like you can let your guard down and finally breathe out? That’s Alysa Osvog. Alysa is a Gateless-trained writing facilitator, a guide for writers and non-writers alike who are looking to recover their creative spark. For over a decade, she’s quietly led hundreds of women back to their own words, their own wisdom, and their own sense of joy—often at the very moment when life feels like it’s shifting under their feet.
Alysa’s workshops and writing salons are unlike anything you remember from school. There’s no red pen, no pressure to perform—just a gentle invitation to let your imagination lead, and to trust whatever rises up on the page. Her approach is inspired by Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, combined with the Gateless method, which blends brain science, somatic ritual, and the radical idea that creativity belongs to all of us.
Whether you’re deep in the throes of menopause, wrestling with self-doubt, or just longing to hear your own voice again, Alysa creates a space where it’s safe to be imperfect, to be surprised, and to remember the power of play. She knows that writing isn’t just about words—it’s about healing, connection, and coming home to yourself.
I’m so honored to welcome back Alysa Osvog to Soul of Menopause.
