Here’s just a few of the many pointers Alex shared:
How to stop shrinking and start stepping fully into our personal power
It's not something we can do alone. The importance of investing in the right relationships Pay attention to authenticity It’s never easy to let go of people or a certain way of living, but the more you do it the easier it gets. You develop grit and resilience. It’s a muscle that you can strengthen.
The 4 root causes of cravings:
Bacterial On a biochemical level, we are as much bacterial as we are human.   Nutritional . Your body craves what it needs. Look at your cravings in more of a curious way. Emotional . This gets shut out of dietary theory which is a shame. We are emotional creatures. Physical . Sex and food. Vitamin P is the thing that we are all lacking. Play and pleasure. How women can build a support system?
In-person events. Ask, “Who lights you up? Who are you attracted to?” Ask yourself, “How did you make friends when you were a kid?” Be intentional about putting yourself around the right people. Take a leap if you feel drawn to something. Other people like you will be there too. Resource: Two summer camps for adults: Good Life Camp and Soul Camp.
