Hello to all of my lovely listeners!
The beginning of 2022 has been ROUGH! With unexpected health issues, and just navigating through life's adjustments, I've been a little silent over here. But I am back, healthy, and ready to share some good news! No....I am not starting a church LOL. I just named this episode "Church Announcements" because it's my sense of humor.
Hope you enjoy and let's get ready to have some girl chat!
We hear so often these two words: Purpose and Potential. But do you know which one is actually going to lead you to a fulfilling life? Culture pushes potential, but I believe a purpose driven life is the answer to it all.
Join Alexis as she discusses her view on which one of these ideologies is the best to strive for long term fulfillment. Can you guess which one she discusses? Listen to find out.
Would you consider yourself an accountable person? And by being accountable, I mean beyond the basic conditions of getting to work on-time, paying your bills on-time, etc. Are you able to say you were wrong? Are you able to say "sorry"? Are you able to see the role you play in your day-to-day relationships and take responsibility for the part you play in the success and unsuccessful moments? If not.....then this episode will shed light as to how to become more accountable in all areas of your life.
With the new year here, have you taken the time to really think about what is going to get you to your next level? Is it a new job? A new car? More money? Dripping yourself in designer clothing? Having a ton of followers who only know you for your content? Or perhaps....maybe it's the very things no one can see?
In my first episode of 2022, I come full throttle as to the real key to everyone's elevation in life. The irony is it's something no one can see besides yourself....
It's been a HOT minute since I have uploaded a podcast episode and I am here to tell you why. I missed you all SO much and it feels good to be back. I have filled my cup and ready to embark on a new journey.

Emotional Intelligence is quite arguably the most underrated value in today's "hustle till you die" culture. Many have adopted the idea that being "machine" like equates to overall success and happiness. But, isn't that against how humans were even made? In this episode Alexis informs her listeners of what emotional intelligence really means, how it has benefited her, and the importance of being able to tap into our human element to experience the freedom we all crave for.

Self-Love, a term this widely known in today's society that is pushed onto people that have been hurt by others. However, with a closer view of this term, and examining to see if there is any indication in scripture to strive for this type of love, is it possible that this "self-love" movement may be a form of idolatry? In this podcast episode, Alexis discusses the revelation she received after listening to Pastor Keion Henderson break this topic down to it's truth. You'd be surprised by her findings.

One of my most asked questions lately is: How do I love again after I've been hurt?
Fixing your heart, after its been broken into a million pieces, is never easy. But what if I told you that you can love again like you've never been hurt before? Yup! You can...as long as you are willing to let go, learn, and walk in your truth.
Listen as I describe how I am able to love again after all of the unfortunate experiences I have been through.
Thank you for listening!
Do you struggle with body image issues? I do, and have for most of my young adult life. It's part of being a human.

Do you think body dysmorphia is another "pandemic" hitting women today?

Have we gone too far with using filters and photoshop? Has using these seemingly innocent filters affected how you view yourself? In this episode I will be talking about how I have struggled with accepting my own flaws from childhood up until now, and how I think we can heal from these altered realities.
When was the last time YOU showed your real self to the world?
Cancel culture has become a VERY popular method for society to dislike people, and corporations, for actions that they do not agree with. Whether the act of cancelation is valid, the real question is: is cancel culture biblical?
Found out my thoughts on this ever so popular movement to see whether or not this is something good, or highly detrimental to society.
Knowing your "why" in life is crucial, especially during your most discouraging moments. In this episode I discuss the "why" behind why I became a Life Coach, and why I do what I do, and what I believe my purpose is here on this earth.
