Today’s episode is a soft and spacious conversation about motherhood—not from the lens of arrival, but of readiness. Together with my friend Brittany, a pelvic floor therapist and embodiment coach, we explore the narratives around mature pregnancy, energy, partnership, and the myths we’ve inherited about womanhood and timing.

This isn’t an episode about having all the answers. It’s about naming the fears, softening the shame, and asking better questions. Whether you’re a parent, longing to be one, or simply navigating big transitions—this conversation invites you to consider what it means to prepare for something sacred before it arrives.

This is about honoring your energy, trusting your body, redefining support, and remembering that readiness isn’t a checkbox—it’s a relationship.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The emotional complexity of preparing for motherhood later in life

• How societal pressure around fertility creates silent fears and comparisons

• Energetic capacity, especially for those who identify as Projectors in Human Design

• The mental load in partnership, and how redefining contribution can create deeper balance

• Chinese confinement, postpartum traditions, and what it means to truly be supported

• The grief of shifting timelines and the beauty in making space for what's not yet here

Reflection Questions:

→ What stories have you inherited about when and how motherhood should unfold?
→ What does support actually look like in your life—and are you allowing yourself to receive it?
→ Where are you holding fear about the unknown—and can you meet it with compassion instead of urgency?

Today’s episode is a tender conversation about resentment—not as a villain, but as a quiet messenger trying to bring you home to yourself. Alexa explores how resentment often hides behind words like “busy” or “fine,” when what’s really underneath is a need that’s gone unmet—rest, boundaries, or simply the courage to choose differently.

This episode isn’t a how-to. It’s a deep breath. A soft truth. An invitation to sit with the uncomfortable and realize that what we sometimes resent the most… is how we’ve abandoned ourselves.

When we stop blaming the outside world and start meeting our own needs with compassion, everything changes. Because if we’re the problem—we’re also the answer.

• The subtle ways resentment disguises itself in everyday language (like “I’m just so busy”)
  
  

• Why resentment is often a reflection of self-abandonment—not external circumstances
  
  

• The link between resentment and unheld boundaries
  
  

• How personifying resentment can soften our resistance to it
  
  

• Why gratitude, not shame, is the doorway back to alignment
  
  

→ What is your resentment trying to tell you about what you need—rest, slowness, boundaries, or something else?
→ Where in your life are you expecting others to uphold a boundary you haven’t claimed for yourself?
→ What would it feel like to meet your resentment with compassion instead of shame?

Today’s episode is an exploration of presence, play, and the moments that shape us. I sat down with my dear friend and photographer, Diana, to talk about the art of capturing time—not just through a camera lens, but through memory, through feeling, through being fully in it.

We talk about love notes and inside jokes, about the beauty of documenting the in-between moments, about the unspoken ways we hold each other close. We dive into the emotional landscape of weddings—how joy and grief coexist—and what it means to be truly seen in a photograph.

This conversation is a gentle invitation: to feel, to remember, to collect the moments that make up a life well-lived.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The magic of unposed, unscripted, deeply real moments

• The ways we try to capture time—through photography, words, and presence

• How weddings (and life) are never just about joy, but about the full spectrum of feeling

• The importance of play and why we need to relearn it as adults

• How photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about seeing

Reflection Questions:

→ How do you capture and treasure important moments in your life, and are there specific practices you follow to preserve these memories?
