After ditching the pressure of perfect timelines and traditional definitions of success, Alex leaned into reinvention and built something magnetic. Whether it’s fashion, friendship, or finding your footing in your 30s and beyond, she reminds us that growth doesn't expire, and sometimes getting off track is exactly what gets you where you're meant to be.

In this episode, I’m joined by Abigail from Sol Therapy. A licensed therapist, educator, and somatic guide who helps people reconnect with their bodies and rewrite the old narratives stored in their nervous systems. Together, we explore what it really means to befriend your nervous system, why healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself, and how early life experiences shape the way we view safety, connection, and love as adults.

This one’s for anyone who’s been told they’re “too sensitive,” anyone who’s felt stuck in anxiety cycles, or anyone who just wants to understand their body a little better. Abigail breaks down the science behind polyvagal theory and regulation in a way that feels gentle, accessible, and soul-affirming. If you've been trying to heal by force, this episode is a permission slip to soften and start from love.
