2019 was one of the best years of my life so far. It began on such a high, I got to marry my best friend, my love, my life partner, my soulmate! Eddie and I thought we would just enjoy the rest of our year just being The Palfini’s.
I was working as the senior designer for Bai, but our NJ office closed in July. I am forever thankful for my time there — I walked away with many great memories, valuable professional experience, and some important life long friends. THAT was the moment that catapulted me into something totally different.

After that I really took time to myself — to be with family and friends (and my handsome, supportive, and loving husband), focus on my health, and figure out what the hell I wanted to do (also fishing…lots of fishing with my brother LOL).
I went through this period of awakening: self-love, self-discovery, looking inward to myself as an individual. 2019 was all about grounding, healing, learning, evolving, planning, and laying a strong foundation for all of my intentions. I’ve accomplished so much in 2019, it’s truly unbelievable (I’m not bragging, I REALLY CAN’T BELIEVE IT). That’s something else I’ve been working on — self-doubt and limiting beliefs…If you don’t believe in yourself it WON’T happen. If you believe and really feel like you’re accomplishing your goals then it WILL happen. That being said, I’ve dug deeper into my spirituality, which I’ve always had lying dormant (@betestarot). I’ve been learning to trust my intuition, and use my gifts to help myself and others. GOOD VIBES ONLY, people!
In 2019, I’ve started a business (@fox.and.sea) that I’ve ALWAYS dreamed of having. I get to work for myself and I’m free to design + create what I want to, and get to work with amazing clients. Visit my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FoxandSeaDesign/
If you are close to me, you know that my MAIN goal in life is to be a Mom (don’t get too excited yet..), so the past year or so I’ve been hyper focused on my health and diabetes. In doing so I’ve greatly improved my health and I am constantly learning more and more about a disease I’ve lived with for almost 19 years. Maybe most importantly (and most recently) this has lead me to step into something that I’m very passionate about which is sharing my diabetes story (@betesboss). I feel like I could really help other T1Ds with my passion, guidance, and voice.

It seems like I’m going down so many different paths at the moment, but again 2019 was my “discovery” phase so I’m learning that all of these parts of me are working together. This year I’m leaning into my power — my spirituality and intuition is aiding in my mental and physical health, my mental and physical health is aiding in my drive and creativity, and my innate yearn to create and grow will elevate my businesses and platforms, my growing platforms will allow me to use my voice and gifts. As a designer and creator by trade I’m “creating” a healthy and happy lifestyle for myself and my family, and actually feeling fulfilled by doing something that means something and to help other people.

For me, 2020 is going to be actualization, manifestation, continued growth, and everything coming together. My focus is on spreading light and continuing down this life path that I’ve created (or have been guided to). To be confident in myself and be open to the opportunities that are presented. 2019 was a spiritual awakening for me, a cosmic upgrade, a LEVEL UP, and I’ve stepped into this new version of me. I’ve let go of anything that is not serving me and my family. If you already thought I was confident, passionate, and fierce…”2020 Alyse” is 100% that…“WITCH”. I urge everyone to lean into their own power and let everything unfold as it will.
B E – G R A T E F U L – 🌟🙏🙌
I have sincere gratitude for all I’ve accomplished so far, all the blessings to me and my family, and all the opportunities that were presented to me. I don’t have a new year resolution, I have a new year affirmation: ‘I am powerful, I am creative, I am love, I am light, I am killing it.”
Stay humble, stay grounded, stay compassionate, raise your vibration to raise the vibration of the people around you, and be the light – Thank you to God, the universe, my husband, my mama, my Kylo (@kylo_pupp), my brother, my “in-laws”, my whole family, and my friends for guidance, love, support, and continued blessings.
