this podcast is an eternal journey of understanding. an embrace of authenticity. a dance of yin and yang. a rediscovering of myself.
my mind is curious and i have an electric zest for wanting to learn more about the world and our existence in it. i'm obsessed with understanding why we are the way we are, and how that influences our lives. i want to explore everything that alights my soul, no matter how different. i’m passionate about spirituality, existential questions, and the journey we are all on. i love to talk about things people don’t talk about. i want to chat with old friends, strangers, and myself. i want to learn how someone thinks and why. i seek to question, understand, and expand the beliefs of myself, others, and humanity at large.
i’m curious, compassionate, and vulnerable. i crave an exchange of energy, a connection of souls. we are all uniquely different and yet, one. this is me exploring that. let’s dive deep!

17 | alex fownes (style, self expression, and being in the driver seat of our own life)
today i sit down with personal stylist, fellow human design nerd, and beautiful soul, alex fownes. she has truly taken her passion and wisdom and turned it into a thriving business by helping others harness their self love through expression and clothing. i’m so inspired by the way she believes in herself and utilizes her understanding of her human design to lean into her strengths and take the risks needed to work for herself in a world where others told her it wasn’t possible. alex shines brightest when she’s being herself, and i love to see how that draws people to her. we talk about:
