Today's Napkin Notes episode is with actress, author, and mother, Alexa Penavega. If you're like me, you probably first experienced Alexa on the big screen with the mega franchise hit, Spy Kids. But throughout the years, it felt like we grew up together with the movie Sleepover, Hallmark movies, and now - Great American Family. But we're talking so much more than Hollywood in today's episode (okay, okay - we talk about it a little bit because it's fun, ya know?!).

In our convo, Alexa opens up about her unique childhood in the entertainment industry, how her faith has been the anchor through life's storms, and the importance of intergenerational friendships.

She candidly shares about:

• The transition from living on a houseboat to settling in Tennessee
• Balancing a successful acting career with family life
• How to maintain a soft heart despite life's challenges
• Starting a production company with her husband and close friends
• Practical advice for being more present in daily life

For fans of Alexa's work, she provides some exciting insights into her recent projects:

• The making of "Get Him Back for Christmas" and working with Mario Lopez
• Potential future collaborations, including a possible "Sleepover" remake
• Her transition to Great American Family

This episode is a heartfelt conversation about faith, family, and finding purpose in every season of life.

Whether you're a long-time fan or new to Alexa's story, this episode promises to leave you feeling uplifted and motivated to embrace life's journey with grace and trust in God's plan.
