Ep. 62 - Dianetics, Self-Worth & Breaking the Reactive Mind with Erika Christensen
Season 6 · Episode 62
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 • Duration 01:00:07
What happens when you stop allowing other people's expectations, opinions, and judgments to determine who you are? Actress Erika Christensen joins Alexis for an intimate exploration of self-worth, identity, authenticity, and the experiences that quietly shape the way we see ourselves. Erika reflects on entering Hollywood at just 12 years old and growing up in an industry where appearance, performance, and external validation are part of the job. From being asked to alter her appearance as a teenager to navigating motherhood, aging, beauty standards, and her relationship with her own body, Erika shares how she has learned to separate who she actually is from who the world expects her to be. The conversation goes deeper into Erika's experience with Dianetics and her understanding of the "reactive mind"—how painful experiences can become unconscious fears, assumptions, and behavioral patterns that continue influencing our present lives. This episode explains what happens when past pain becomes identity, why awareness can restore choice, and why the things we believe are "just who I am" may actually be learned responses that can be examined. At its core, this is a conversation about coming home to yourself—and realizing that growth doesn't require rejecting the person you used to be.
"You can survive anything when you know who you are, what you believe in, that you don't need other people to validate you, that you are worthy." — Erika Christensen

Ep. 61 - The Hidden Toxins Making You Sick: Mold Exposure, Blue Light, EMFs & Sleep with Dan Huber
Season 6 · Episode 61
Wednesday, September 9, 2026 • Duration 53:27
Dan Huber went from losing nearly everything during the 2008 mortgage crisis to facing another battle entirely when he and his family developed a mysterious collection of health problems that doctors couldn't explain. Dan joins Alexis Artin for a wide-ranging conversation about toxic mold exposure, blue light, EMFs, sleep, mental health, medical self-advocacy, and the hidden environmental factors that may be affecting our well-being. They also explore the growing mental health crisis among young people, Dan's work with Hope Chain and suicide prevention, the importance of human connection in an increasingly AI-driven world, and why giving ourselves more grace, permission, and forgiveness may be essential to navigating modern life. From losing everything to rebuilding his health and turning adversity into service, Dan's story is ultimately about learning to trust yourself, keep going, and use what you've survived to help someone else.
"Congratulations. The expectations others had of you, and more importantly, the negative expectations you had of yourself—you've gotten through all of it. And you're here." — Dan Huber

Ep. 60 - How to Quiet the Noise, Overcome Self-Doubt & Become Who You Really Are with Jesse Israel
Season 6 · Episode 60
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 • Duration 56:49
What if the parts of yourself you've spent your entire life trying to suppress are actually your greatest gifts? Jesse Israel went from being an expressive, rebellious kid who learned to make himself smaller, to experiencing debilitating anxiety and panic attacks, to eventually standing in arenas leading tens of thousands of people in meditation alongside Oprah. Jesse joins Alexis Artin for a deeply personal conversation about anxiety, self-doubt, meditation, authenticity, purpose and overcoming fear, revealing how founding a record label that helped launch MGMT ultimately led him toward an entirely different calling with The Big Quiet. Together, Jesse and Alexis explore why we shrink ourselves to feel safe, how comparison distorts our definition of success, why silence can become a competitive advantage in an increasingly noisy world, and what happens when you finally stop running from the thing that scares you. Jesse's realization is powerful: sometimes the other side of fear isn't simply courage—it's your power.
"There's something so powerful about creating quiet in the face of all that noise. I felt like I was the eye of the storm." — Jesse Israel

Ep. 59 - Stop Chasing the Perfect Body: Real Strength, Confidence & Self-Worth with Kenny Santucci
Season 6 · Episode 59
Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • Duration 01:07:02
What happens when the kid who never felt like he belonged stops waiting to be invited and starts building his own table? Kenny Santucci went from growing up insecure and overweight in an emotionally tough New Jersey household—and eventually living out of his car—to building gyms, Strong New York, and a career centered around helping other people become stronger. But his definition of strength, confidence and success has changed dramatically along the way. Kenny and Alexis Artin unpack male body insecurity, why fitness has to become about more than aesthetics, the loneliness epidemic, social media and AI replacing human connection, finding your true purpose, and why money and status can't manufacture fulfillment. Kenny also explains why real strength isn't about how much you can lift—it's about how many times you can pick yourself back up, and how many people you help up along the way. Ultimately, this is a conversation about turning insecurity into purpose, creating belonging when you never felt like you belonged, and building a life so meaningful you don't constantly need to escape from it.

What if your anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, or burnout isn't something to fight—but a message your body has been trying to deliver all along?

Together, Alexis and Liz unpack embodiment, nervous system regulation, women's relationship with their bodies, modern stress, AI and disconnection, healing through movement, and why your body may be the most honest guide you'll ever have.
