We’re all *just* trying to figure it out. Alex doesn't have all the answers - but, she’s trying to find them (not necessarily the right answers - just answers). Join in as she covers everything from being an expecting mother, relationships, to work, to managing the twists and turns life throws at us.
In this lifestyle podcast, you’ll hear from Alex, her bf, her friends/family AND experts who can help guide her (AND you) through life. We’re not meant to go it alone. Let’s do this together.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex (& Harrison 😉)!! We are T- ~5 days away from being parents, and the #1 thing on our minds after the hospital tour today: babies getting swapped at hospitals. A lot of you have been asking - Will I be giving Harrison power of attorney while we’re in the hospital?! So we talk through that. Then we get into only fans, the death of dating apps, types, tipping culture, and more. Oh, and Harrison explains himself for pronouncing L-M-A-O as LA MOAW 😂

When a girl slides into your boyfriend's DMs... Harrison and I had something *interesting* happen in our relationship this week (see title). We thought it would be valuable to discuss the boundaries we set in our relationship early on and why boundary setting is important for maintaining a healthy relationship. We cover topics like keeping in contact with exes, opposite sex friendships, sharing passcodes, location sharing, going out, and more.

This week on the podcast, I sit down with Sarah Larson Levey, Founder/CEO of Y7 Studio and a momma of two. As a business owner, mom, and NYC to Austin transplant, I knew there’d be a ton I could learn from Sarah, and she certainly didn't disappoint.
Sarah opens up about her path from launching Y7 as a pop-up to transforming it into a renowned yoga community focused on inner growth and self-acceptance. She talks into Y7's mirror-free philosophy, explaining how it helps individuals break free from the comparison trap. This mindset extends beyond yoga into Sarah's experiences in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and overcoming personal challenges like two miscarriages.
Hope you guys enjoy Sarah’s insights on reducing comparison to foster personal growth and happiness in every aspect of life :)

In this week’s episode, I’m getting advice from a therapist on how to stop being a people pleaser & start putting yourself first - two things I’ve been *trying* to prioritize throughout pregnancy. I’m joined by Dené Logan, a Marriage & Family Therapist, Author, and Podcast Host. Together, we dive deep into the topic of people-pleasing, exploring its roots, how it affects personal growth, and strategies to overcome it. I learned a TON from Dené that I’m excited to put into practice - hope you guys did too!

In this week’s episode, Harrison and I do a complete mid-year reset, with a focus on goal setting & manifesting our next 6 months. I have a TON of major life changes happening right now - soon-to-be mom, new business, new relationship, moving cities (🤯) - I needed a little reset.
We walk through Harrison’s goal-setting framework, which covers five key buckets: family, friends, love life, impact (job), and wellbeing. And also share our goals for the second half of the year, as individuals and as a couple.
Two things I learned while prepping… You are 42% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down, and 65% more likely if you share them with an accountability partner. What do you think my odds are now that I’ve shared them with all of you?!
Add your goals in the comments below.👇👇Let’s do this together!!

Happy Thursday! I’m 26 weeks!! Wanted to sit down and give you a quick 2nd trimester update - I chat through my baby shower recap and what’s getting me through pregnancy right now.
This weekend Harrison’s mom & sister hosted a baby shower for me in Vancouver. 15/10 - no notes. The decorations, the plan for the afternoon, the company - everything was perfect. Happy to share details - shoot me your questions in the comments!!!
OK so what’s getting me through my second trimester?!
Here’s my R.E.P.O.R.T:
[R]eading - Baby books!! To the little babe every night before bed :-)
[E]ating - DAIRY. Any other moms suddenly no longer lactose intolerant?
[P]laying - NOT music. I can’t stand the sound of music while I’m pregnant. Need to do more research here…
[O]bsessing - Over FINDING A PLACE TO LIVE. I need to nest - and start decorating her room.
[R]ecommending - OK more books - but this time for you guys - anything by the author Jennie Allen!!
[T]reating: Lots of rest - currently developing a brain inside my stomach (don’t text)

Happy Thursday! In today's episode, Harrison and I dive into a conversation we think every couple should have – the all-important "money talk." We discuss how we’re going to structure our budget, prenup (cohabitation agreement in our case 😉), and child support agreement.
I've received tons of DMs about the "money talk" before marriage and the transparency (or lack thereof) in how couples handle their finances (budgeting, joint bank accounts, prenups, etc.). We're breaking down our process, what we've learned, and our final decisions in hopes of normalizing this conversation.
