There Is No Such Thing As Good, Bad and Ugly
This week, Alexandra explains her discomfort with the idea of the good, bad and ugly. We are all good and have parts or pieces of ourselves that others perceive to be negative. Those parts and pieces come from us as kids to protect us and keep us safe. We are all good inside.

Scars Are Not Always Visible
This week, Alexandra shares how easy it is to assume what someone else has going on. Not everything we, ourselves, have going on is obvious to others. We are called to be more compassionate with others because we don't know what is going on behind closed doors. Also, we all have something we need to maintain our mental and emotional wholeness. No one is immune to needing support to handle life. It's hard to maintain compassion for others and yet it is necessary.

Yes, Rock the Boat
This week Alexandra encourages all her listeners to rock the boat. As we heal, grow and become more grounded in our authenticity, we shift dynamics with those around us and that can be challenging to those relationships. Everyone we are around are mirrors for us. We are also mirrors and we show each other what we need to work on. It's easy to not want to handle the fall out of these shifts but so much more rewarding when we continue on our path to authenticity.

Chat with Nutritionist and Fitness Expert Sabrina Miller
This week, Alexandra and Sabrina Miller have a raw, authentic chat about the importance of nutrition and movement when working through the grief process. Additionally, to really make gains and be able to feel the impact of good nutrition and working, it is essential to evaluate the messages and conditions we ascribe to as children. The experiences do not need to be large and can actually just be a flippant comment with a lasting impact.

What's In Your Basement?
Recently, Alexandra was debating to finish the basement in her house and found that she was paralyzed by the decision. Mentioning it in therapy brought on a huge emotional reaction indicating that there were feelings around items in her basement, that she would have to clean up. Simultaneously, coming out of winter hibernation, Alexandra did some spring cleaning around her house and after doing so, found she had created space for more creativity, pings and messages for how to keep going. She knows that by going through the things in her basement, more messages may come through. She encourages listeners to see what drawers, closets, conversations, situations they might be avoiding, that may lead to some new ideas once they are addressed.
