    Christy Hunter on creativity, confidence, and listening to yourself

    In this episode of Sincerely, Self, Lexi sits down with Christy, a creative entrepreneur and photographer, for a heartfelt conversation about intuition, confidence, and trusting yourself even when the path isn’t clear. Christy shares how listening to her inner pull led her to create meaningful experiences through photography, despite doubt, fear, and the pressure to “do things the right way.” Together, Lexi and Christy explore limiting beliefs, creative courage, and what it really means to follow what feels aligned — not what feels safe. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need every step figured out to move forward. Sometimes, the most powerful growth happens when you trust yourself enough to take the first step. In this episode, we talk about: • Following intuition instead of external expectations • Releasing limiting beliefs and self-doubt • Building confidence through action • Letting creativity lead the way • Trusting timing and allowing things to unfold naturally • Choosing alignment over perfection If you’ve been feeling called to start something new, pivot creatively, or simply trust yourself more deeply, this conversation will speak directly to you.

    In this heartfelt and deeply reflective episode of the Sincerely Self Podcast, Lexi sits down with Sue Willoughby, Certified Equus coach, truth teller and boundary breaker  for an honest conversation about reinvention, self-trust, and healing later in life. Sue shares her personal journey into coaching and the pivotal moments that led her to this work; from real estate investor, pilot, former DJ and roller Derby Referee,  Sue knows what it truly means to make the jump and begin again.

This episode is an invitation to anyone who feels stuck, disconnected, or quietly craving more—especially those navigating midlife transitions—to remember that it is never too late to begin again. ✨ If you’ve ever wondered “Is this really it?”—this conversation is for you.     🔑 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Sue’s path to becoming a Transformational Life Coach for Women Over 50 Why reinvention often becomes more possible later in life The emotional patterns many women carry for decades without realizing it How equine-assisted coaching creates deep, non-verbal healing Learning to trust yourself again after years of people-pleasing The role of boundaries, presence, and self-honesty in personal growth Learn more on Sue: http://www.willoughbycoaching.com/ Sue's Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/midlife-strategies-for-badass-women/id1753943662 Learn more about me :  SINCERELY, SELF WEBSITE: sincerelyselfpodcast.com  INSTA: https://tr.ee/_hDgsXsjmE  TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelyselfpodcast?_t=zt-8zjvsa3xu4d&_r=1  NETWORK: https://theradcastnetwork.com Get some EvryJewels with a discount: https://evryjewels.com/?ref=alexisbenitezvtn Use code:ALEXIS889 for $$$ off🤍  Check out my Hollister Favs: https://community.hollisterco.com/s/sincerelyself  If this episode encouraged you, please: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

    New Year, Upgraded You: Mindset Shifts for 2026

    In the final episode of Sincerely Self for 2025, Lexi reflects on growth, faith, fear, and the mindset shifts required to become a better version of yourself in 2026 — not a “perfect” one.   This heartfelt solo episode explores how limiting beliefs, comparison, and waiting until we feel “ready” can quietly keep us stuck. Through personal stories, spiritual insight, and honest self-reflection, Lexi shares how releasing other people’s opinions — and her own self-doubt — transformed her life and the trajectory of the podcast.   A powerful theme woven throughout the episode is the question: “If not now, then when?” A reminder that tomorrow isn’t promised — but today is.   Lexi also opens up about her evolving relationship with God, separating faith from religion, and finding spiritual connection outside of traditional structures. If you’ve ever struggled with religious trauma, self-worth, or fear of being seen, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and encouragement.   This episode is your reminder that: • You don’t need permission to start • Growth is a lifelong process • Grace matters just as much as discipline • Your calling will keep calling — until you answer   As we step into a new year, this conversation invites you to stop waiting, stop shrinking, and start choosing yourself — again and again.   Learn more about me : SINCERELY, SELF WEBSITE: sincerelyselfpodcast.com INSTA: https://tr.ee/_hDgsXsjmE TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@sincerelyselfpodcast?_t=zt-8zjvsa3xu4d&_r=1 NETWORK: https://theradcastnetwork.com Get some EvryJewels with a discount: https://evryjewels.com/?ref=alexisbenitezvtn Use code:ALEXIS889 for $$$ off🤍 Check out my Hollister Favs: https://community.hollisterco.com/s/sincerelyself If this episode encouraged you, please: Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

    The Truth About Female Desire, Libido & Pleasure with Dr. Diane Mueller

    In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Sincerely, Self, Lexi sits down with Dr. Diane Mueller — board-certified sexologist, double doctorate holder, national speaker, and best-selling author — to break the silence around female pleasure, libido, and sexual wellness. Dr. Diane shares her deeply personal journey into sexology, which began with chronic vulvar pain that conventional medicine couldn’t explain or heal. What ultimately changed everything? Pleasure — a concept many women are taught to suppress or feel shame around. Together, Lexi and Dr. Diane dive into: What libido actually is — and how to know when it’s truly “low” The critical difference between desire and arousal (and why this matters so much for women) Why women’s sexuality works differently than men’s — especially in long-term relationships How stress, hormones, cycles, and mental load impact women’s sex drive The myth that passion must fade over time Why pleasure isn’t indulgent — it’s essential for health, resilience, and connection The importance of women learning their own bodies and communicating their needs How self-pleasure and partner exploration can heal, empower, and reconnect How to talk about sex without shame, blame, or hurt feelings Dr. Diane also introduces her newly released book Want to Want It, a guide designed to help long-term couples rebuild intimacy, reignite passion, and strengthen communication — without shame, porn, or pressure. This episode is honest, educational, and deeply validating for anyone who’s ever wondered:“Is something wrong with me… or have I just never been taught the truth?” Whether you’re single, partnered, curious, overwhelmed, or craving deeper connection — this conversation will shift how you think about pleasure forever.
