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?

Today’s episode is a soft and soulful reminder: you don’t have to wait for life to slow down to feel connected, present, or whole. You’re already in the ceremony.

This isn’t about finding more time to light candles or meditate—it’s about letting the ordinary become sacred. We explore how presence is available right here, in the mess, in the movement, in the mundane.

This episode is an invitation to come back to yourself—not later, not after the to-do list, but now.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• What it means to romanticize a version of your life that’s just slightly out of reach
  
  

• Why presence is not a reward to be earned, but something to return to
  
  

• The cultural lie of “arrival” and how it keeps us from living
  
  

• The power of treating daily moments—laundry, emails, cooking—as sacred rituals
  
  

• How to reclaim your life as a ceremony, even in the chaos
  
  

Reflection Questions:

→ Where in your life are you waiting for things to slow down before you show up fully?
→ What would it look like to treat your current life as sacred—even in its mess, even in its movement?
→ What is one ordinary moment you could treat like a ritual today?

Today’s episode is a story about money—but not the kind that fits neatly into spreadsheets and savings goals. It’s about the emotional undercurrent beneath every transaction, the shame that lingers in unspoken debt, and the slow return to trust. We explore the energy of money, the difference between “happy” and “unhappy” dollars, and what it means to build a relationship with money that feels empowering—not fear-based.

This isn’t a story of going from broke to rich. It’s a story of awareness. Of healing. Of reclaiming your power by getting curious, getting honest, and getting clear.

This is an invitation to treat your money like a mirror—and to meet it with compassion.

• The deeply emotional relationship many of us carry with money—especially shaped by upbringing, shame, and scarcity.
  
  

• What “Happy Money” really means (inspired by Ken Honda’s book) and how to create more of it.
  
  

• The transformative mindset shift of seeing money as energy—not as morality or measurement.
  
  

• How budgeting tools like YNAB helped Alexa move from avoidance to empowerment.
  
  

• Why intentional spending and earning can shift not just your finances, but your self-trust.
  
  

→ Where in your relationship with money are you holding onto shame that wants to be heard?
Is it past debt? Current fear? A belief that your worth is tied to your wallet?

→ What would it feel like to approach your money with curiosity instead of fear?
Can you look at your bank account like a window into your values instead of a report card?

→ How might your relationship with money change if you treated every transaction as a moment of gratitude?
Happy money isn’t about the amount. It’s about the energy you bring to the exchange.

• The subtle ways creativity invites us to express ourselves beyond traditional art forms

Spaces hold more than just things—they hold energy, intention, and memory. In today’s episode, I sit down with my dear friend Brittany, the creative force behind Staple & Layer, to explore the magic of meaningful gatherings. We talk about how spaces can be portals—whether it’s a wedding, a dinner party, or a simple meal at home. This is not about perfection; it’s about presence. Not about aesthetics, but about feeling.

This episode is an invitation to gather with intention—to create spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but feel alive with meaning. To infuse your gatherings with warmth, depth, and personal touch. To remember that the magic of any space isn’t in its perfection, but in the memories it holds.

If you’ve ever wondered how to create gatherings that people don’t just attend but remember—this episode is for you.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The power of storytelling through design—why a space is more than just decor

• How intention shapes the energy of a gathering (and why people feel it)

• The balance between beauty and meaning—how to design spaces that matter

• Small ways to bring depth, warmth, and personal touch into everyday moments

Reflection Questions:

This episode is all about trusting your body, reclaiming rest, and tuning into what feels true. I share my experience of getting my IUD out—not just as a medical decision, but as an act of self-trust, of listening more deeply to what my body was trying to tell me. We explore what it means to shift from controlling our bodies to collaborating with them, the unexpected emotions that come with change, and the power of rest as a form of healing.

This is an invitation to pause, to listen, to trust. To step away from the noise and return to yourself.

• Why I decided to remove my IUD and what the process was really like

• The emotional and physical shifts I didn’t expect after making this decision

• How rest is an act of trust (and why we struggle to let ourselves have it)

• The difference between controlling your body and listening to it

• Releasing the need to “fix” ourselves and learning to trust the wisdom already within

→ What is your body asking of you right now? (Are you listening?)
→ Where in your life are you mistaking control for care?
→ What would it look like to let yourself rest, fully and without guilt?
