    You Are The Prize | Kelli Garner

    A portrait of inner alignment in a world built on external validation. Actor Kelli Garner joins Alex and Alexis for a conversation about the courage it takes to live in alignment with who you really are—especially in Hollywood. She reflects on her early years in the industry, the pressure to please, and what changed when she became her own North Star. They talk about the power of feminine energy, the vulnerability of speaking your truth, and the quiet strength required to honor your worth. What emerges is a reminder that success isn’t just about what you achieve, but about how fully you’re willing to stand in who you already are.

    You Are The Prize | Alexis + Alex

    Just the two of us—on fear, courage, and the power of the dance floor.  In their first solo episode of You Are The Prize, Alexis and Alex talk about what scared them about starting a podcast and why they pressed record anyway. They share why these are the conversations they want to be having, what alignment looks like in real life, and where they feel most like themselves. Along the way, they invite listeners into the conversation and encourage one small weekly practice to spread joy: tell someone they’re the prize.

    You Are The Prize | Amara Abbas

    A conversation about creative evolution and learning who to measure yourself against.  In this episode of You Are The Prize, Alex and Alexis talk with filmmaker Amara Abbas about directing, creative evolution, and where the best ideas come from. Amara shares how she sharpens her voice as the projects get bigger, the power of generous collaborators, and what it meant to be given real creative freedom while directing Skrillex’s Xena.

    You Are The Prize | Shaun Sperling

    In this episode of You Are The Prize, Alex and Alexis sit down with Shaun Sperling, a speaker, coach, writer, and performer whose work centers on truth, joy, and self-expression. Shaun’s path has been anything but linear. With a BA in theatre and a JD in law, his life has spanned stages and courtrooms, creativity and convention. From a teenager who knew himself so clearly that Madonna was the theme of his bar mitzvah, to an adult succeeding in a role that didn’t quite fit, Shaun’s story reflects a familiar tension between who we are and who we’re told to become. Together, they talk about: How easily we drift from ourselves as we grow up and start optimizing for approvalWhat it feels like to succeed at something that doesn’t actually fitShaun’s path from joyful performer to practicing lawyer, and back againHow creativity, even as a “side project,” can quietly guide us homeShaun shares how writing, and sharing a video of himself dancing unapologetically at his bar mitzvah, reconnected him to the parts of himself he thought he’d lost, leading him back to performance, back to joy, and eventually into the work he does today as an energy coach and speaker. The conversation is hilarious, honest, and deeply affirming. A reminder that who we really are doesn’t disappear, it just waits patiently for us to listen again. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to return to yourself, this episode is proof it isn’t.
