What if confidence isn’t something we build later in life… but something we slowly learn to unlearn?

In this heart-opening episode, Alex is joined by two powerful collaborators—artist Nadia & project partner Danielle—for a deeply personal conversation about Free to Be Me, a children’s book that’s quickly becoming a movement.

What started as a quiet moment during a breathwork session (and a breastfeeding cuddle) has grown into a bold vision: helping the next generation of leaders stay connected to who they truly are—before the world teaches them otherwise.

Together, the 3 explore why language matters so much in shaping belief, identity, and self-worth from the very beginning. Alex shares how her background in neuroscience, education, and leadership coaching—combined with becoming a mom—radically heightened her awareness of the words children hear every day… and the invisible stories those words plant.

You’ll hear:

• Why phrases like “I’m busy” or “be careful” can quietly shape lifelong patterns of burnout and fear
• How affirmations like “I can do this” become embodied beliefs when children are invited to truly own them
• What it means to raise children who feel seen, loved, and enough exactly as they are
• How art becomes a bridge between emotion, identity, and belonging
• Why this book is being intentionally co-created—with families, children, and the wider community

Nadia offers a beautiful behind-the-scenes look at her creative process, sharing how she captures not just what a child looks like, but how they feel. Danielle grounds the conversation by weaving together the purpose, pacing, and importance of doing this work with care, integrity, and heart.

Ready to celebrate a win… and notice what happens next?
What if the very thing you’ve been quietly holding in your heart is ready to be shared—not perfectly, but now?

In this episode of Unleashed & Unstoppable, Alex and Carol invite you into a deeply real, behind-the-scenes conversation about intention, visibility, and the courage it takes to bring something meaningful into the world. What starts as a celebration of Alex’s children’s book Free To Be Me officially opening for pre-orders becomes a powerful exploration of what happens in our brains, bodies, and nervous systems when we choose to go public with what matters most.

This isn’t just a conversation about launching a book. It’s about launching yourself into the next level—without burning out, overcomplicating the process, or waiting for “perfect.”

Together, Alex and Carol reflect on:

• Why done really is better than perfect—and how simplicity creates momentum
• What’s actually happening in your nervous system when fear, tension, or doubt shows up during growth
• How celebrating small wins releases the neuro-chemicals that help you move through resistance instead of retreating
• The power of declaring your intention out loud and letting your community support you
• Why staying connected to the why matters more than obsessing over the how
• How early beliefs around worthiness, safety, and love shape our leadership—and why it’s so powerful to rewire them early (for ourselves and our children)

You’ll also hear Alex share vulnerably about the journey of bringing Free To Be Me to life—from the spark of an idea while nursing her daughter, to navigating visibility, discomfort, and expansion as the book enters the world. It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t have to feel forced—and that your body’s reactions don’t mean you’re doing it wrong. They often mean you’re doing something brave.

As you listen, consider this:

• What’s the idea, goal, or desire you’ve been holding close that’s asking for air this year?
• Who’s in your corner to help you celebrate, reflect, and keep moving forward?
• What would change if you trusted the process instead of trying to control every step?

Tune in, reflect, and let this episode remind you that your dreams don’t require perfection—just intention, support, and the willingness to take the next step.

At what point did you stop trusting yourself?

Somewhere between childhood and leadership, many of us learned to be quieter, smaller, more “acceptable.” We learned to perform, to overthink, to seek approval — and eventually, to doubt the very instincts that once came naturally.

In this powerful and reflective episode, Alex and Carol explore how early experiences shape confidence, self-expression, and leadership long before we ever realize it, and why so many high-achieving adults are still operating from beliefs formed in their earliest years.

What begins as a conversation about learning environments quickly opens into something much bigger: how identity is shaped, how fear gets wired in, and how safety — emotional and neurological — is the foundation for confidence at any age.

Along the way, Alex shares a deeply personal realization sparked by her daughter’s first parent-teacher interview in Panama — a moment that revealed not only what her child was learning, but the unconscious fears many of us carry based on stories we’ve absorbed from others’ experiences.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why being “met where you’re at” is essential for growth — in childhood and leadership
• How language, feedback, and labels quietly shape self-talk and identity
• The difference between breaking generational patterns and reclaiming generational gifts
• Why so many high performers struggle with self-doubt despite external success
• How simple morning and evening “bookends” can regulate the nervous system and build self-trust

This conversation also reveals the heart behind Alex’s upcoming children’s book, Free to Be Me — a book written to help children grow up knowing they are safe, capable, worthy, and free to use their voice, before self-doubt ever takes hold.

If you’re a parent, leader, educator, or coach who cares about confidence, self-trust, and raising the next generation — this book is for you.
