Episode 65: Simple, but Not Easy: Mental Health Chat with Alexa Snyder Not Your Quick Fix

This week, your hosts welcome a dear friend as the special guest for episode 65, Alexa Snyder. Alexa is the owner of clothing company, Metal Saints, as well as a lifestyle and competitor online coach for the Muscle Building Method, and a competitive bodybuilder herself.

Alexa joins Kylie and Kara for an important chat about mental health, and the role it plays in not only your fitness and health journey, but every area of life. She shares her lifetime of struggle with mental health, and the ways in which she has worked (and is often still working) to overcome it and be able to show up as the highly productive, successful individual that she is.

Alexa shares the importance of self-awareness, understanding how you are reacting and responding to the stimulus in your life, healthy communication, and reaching out for help / attending therapy. This episode provides a real, raw look at the weight of issues like depression and anxiety while simultaneously providing inspiration to not let it define you and advice/steps toward healing and coping.
