  • Fitness, Identity & Real Life" ft. Hector Regalado
    2026/03/10
    What's really driving you to the gym, vanity, validation, or something deeper? In Episode 6 of Occasionally Perfect, Lexsi and Amber sit down with personal trainer and mentor Hector Regalado for one of their most honest conversations yet. What starts as a chat about fitness goals and weight loss quickly turns into a deep dive on identity, mental health, and why the number on the scale is never really the finish line. Hector breaks down why discipline beats motivation, how to build a healthy relationship with food, and why "fitness is what we do not who we are."They also get into the real talk on GLP-1s and Ozempic, body image, self-worth, and how movement impacts anxiety, stress, and confidence. (Especially for women navigating different seasons of life.)


    Topics covered:
    • Aesthetic goals vs. long-term health & longevity
    • When fitness discipline becomes obsession
    • Mental health and exercise, anxiety, stress relief & mindset
    • Women's fitness and strength training for different life phases
    • GLP-1s, Ozempic & weight loss drugs, are they worth it?
    • Nutrition, macros & portion control without the noise
    • Body image, self-worth & breaking free from validation
    • "Be. Do. Have." the mindset shift that changes everything

  • Thriving as a Solo Parent
    2026/03/03

    Nobody warns you about the mornings when your toddler pees the bed, the pink boots vanish, and you still have to show up. That's solo parenting and in Episode 5, Lexsi and Amber are telling the WHOLE truth about it.

    Seven-year solo mom Lexsi and newly solo mom Amber compare their wildly different paths: the magic and chaos of co-living with another single mom, the lifesaving moment school finally started, what it cost (emotionally AND financially) to do it all alone.

    They also get into the identity crisis that comes with motherhood, building confidence from scratch, why community is survival, and what "thriving" actually looks like when life isn't picture-perfect.

    If you've ever felt unseen, overwhelmed, or like you're doing this whole parenting thing on your own, this episode was made for you.

  • The Myth of the Good Person
    2026/02/17

    Welcome to Occasionally Perfect! In this debut episode, hosts Amber Borzotra (MTV's The Challenge) and Lexsi Lewis explore what it truly means to be a "good person" in a world obsessed with perfection.

    Through personal stories and raw vulnerability, they discuss:

    • Self-awareness and accountability as markers of goodness
    • Why being "too nice" draws judgment
    • Sex work stigma and societal double standards
    • The reality of motherhood—guilt, exhaustion, and the need for support
    • Treating yourself well as part of being a good person
    • Building authentic community and chosen family

    This isn't a polished, perfect conversation—it's real, messy, and exactly what we all need. Whether you're a mom struggling with guilt, someone facing judgment for non-traditional choices, or just trying to figure out how to show up as your best self, this episode is for you.
