Hey babes, Welcome back to the pod!

Have you ever felt like your head is just full—not in a productive way, but in a way that feels like noise? Well this is me RN.

So I have decided to do a social media break - this is not from a place of burnout, but a desire for a reset, similar to doing a “Dry January” for social media.

This isn’t about negativity or cutting people off—it’s about realignment and creating space for what actually matters.

Have a listen and let me know your thoughts on my decision for a detox.

See you soon,

Alex xox

We’ve been sold two extremes: either you're constantly grinding to prove your success, or you're fully immersed in the soft girl aesthetic—baking bread, homeschooling, and embracing the trad-wife lifestyle. But real success isn’t just about how much you accomplish; it’s about how you feel while accomplishing it.

In this episode, we’re diving into what it really means to embrace your soft girl era without sacrificing productivity. How can you create a life that feels gentle and fulfilling while still making progress on your goals? Let’s talk about finding that balance—because success should feel good, not just look good.

In this episode of It’s Upgrade Season, I’m breaking away from traditional goal-setting and embracing a softer, more intentional approach for 2025.

We’ll dive into why goals don’t always align with our current season, the importance of staying open to discovery, and how prioritizing internal intentions over external validation can be a game-changer.

This year, it’s all about creating memories, grounding in authenticity, and staying flexible to what’s possible. If you’ve ever felt the pressure of rigid goal-setting, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m getting real about 2024—a year full of unexpected challenges, big wins, and lots of lessons. From taking a mental health break to celebrating over 12 months of breastfeeding (and crying while sharing it), I’m reflecting on the highs and lows.

We’re talking about:

• Letting go of what no longer serves you.
• Why it’s okay if your year didn’t look like your vision board.
• Setting boundaries, embracing peace, and healing from trauma.
• What I’m bringing (and leaving behind) in 2025.

If you’re ready to reflect, cry, and laugh with me—this one’s for you.
