In this episode of Worthy, Jessi sits down with healing and transformational coach, author, and speaker Alexander "AD" Dixon for a deeply honest conversation about self-worth, emotional healing, and the inner work required to build healthy relationships.

Alexander shares the personal journey that led him to begin speaking publicly about self-love, depression, and loss—and how vulnerability became the very thing that allowed his message to reach thousands of people seeking truth, healing, and hope. Together, Jessica and Alexander explore how our relationship with self-worth shapes the partners we choose, the patterns we repeat, and the healing we often avoid.

They discuss avoidant attachment, emotional safety, nervous system regulation in relationships, and why closure can feel so difficult to accept. Alexander offers powerful insight into what men and women struggle with most in love, what men wish they understood earlier, and how true connection begins with self-awareness rather than control.

The conversation also turns toward masculinity, identity, and the impact of growing up without a father—revealing how unhealed childhood wounds can shape adult relationships and emotional expression. Alexander shares the heart behind his recent book, The Boy Inside the Man, and the importance of meeting the younger parts of ourselves with compassion in order to live, love, and lead from a place of wholeness.

This is a raw, reflective, and deeply human conversation about grief, growth, worth, and the courage it takes to heal from the inside out.
