Unscripted: A Nolapapa Podcast Erik Alexander

From the conception of this podcast, I wanted to have a partnership with a local New Orleans Law Firm. I wanted to find a firm that would align with me and my family's values while also becoming regular guests to talk about REAL life scenarios in the legal world. From car accidents and beyond! The more we listen, the more our confidence GROWS. Especially behind the wheel. I am thrilled to introduce the Law Firm of Forrest, Cressy & James to our amazing roster of sponsors! ...

Look. I love New Orleans as much or more than some. She has her beauties and she has her nightmares. I don’t really know how to address this except to address it head on. My husband is a specialist psychiatrist and we cannot keep up with inflation of everything. I’m coming to you very vulnerable right now. I have built a brand around the city that I love so much.

Imagine my reaction when my little sister won a big beauty pageant and the news came to our house to film an interview. As I looked out of the blinds fr...

I thought it was pretty difficult to find a mom as awesome as mine. I realized that as much as I love my own mama, there are totally moms out there that deserve to tell their own stories. My own mother's story of resilience and strength gives me motivation every single day. With this thought I pondered, What Mothers can I find for this show? To be completely honest, I had a completely different guest planned for this segment, but as life had it they postponed and left me with an empty sl...

This week's episode is sparkling like Sunset Blvd y’all. She's twinkly like the lights in the Los Angeles cityscape... especially when looking out from the canyons. That feeling that I had almost 20 years ago still sits with me. I cannot believe it has been 20 years since I found myself a refugee from New Orleans, after Hurricane Katrina. That time was one of the scariest I have ever been in, but those particular memories and friends I made then will last a l...
