Alex Beyond Thoughts

New apartment, new office, same question I keep coming back to: why does it feel like I have to choose between the things I want? In this episode I'm unpacking a phrase I've been using a lot lately, "you can have everything, just not all at once," and what it's taught me about trading disposable income for freedom, why the best summer ever might not be about the season at all, and how to stop cramming everything into right now when some of it can wait for later.

If this one lands for you, follow the show and leave a rating, it genuinely helps other people find these conversations. And if it sparks something, send me a voice note or a DM, I'd love to hear what your "not all at once" is.

What does it actually take to step on a bodybuilding stage while running a marketing agency and building a business empire? In this episode, Tiana Leigh pulls back the curtain on the competition lifestyle: the prep, the discipline, the sacrifice, and the mindset shift that changes everything in a hard season.

We get into what competing at the highest level really looks like day-to-day, how she kept her businesses not just alive but thriving during competition season, and why the lessons from the stage translate directly into how she shows up as a business owner. You guys - her clients didn't know she was in the depths of her prep... that's how incredibly she kept it all together!!

If you've ever wondered whether you can pursue something extreme without letting everything else fall apart — this one's for you.

In this episode we cover: what the bodybuilding competition lifestyle actually looks like behind the scenes, how Tiana ran her agency without missing a beat during comp prep, the mindset shifts that competing inspired her to make, why discipline in the gym translates directly to discipline in business, and what she'd tell anyone thinking about competing for the first time. Loved this episode.

And if you're weird and nosey like me, I also asked big hitting questions about the tan😅 let us know your burning questions following this episode and we may just run it back again in the future🤫

Discipline gets a bad rep (sometimes rightly so) ... but what if you've just been taught the wrong version?

Let’s reframe the word discipline and see if the concept hits differently for you at the end of this episode!!

We are going to look at discipline in 3 ways that have revolutionised the way I trust myself to show up and how I am actively becoming the woman I dream about being.

If you're ambitious, a little tired, and still chasing the woman you're becoming, then this one's for you.

There's something about chasing after the next milestone that can seem SOOOO hard. Everything gains resistance, you're dragging your feet through mud, choosing small problems becomes the norm, and suddenly time has passed but zero goals = achieved.

We don't wanna spend another year in this stagnant, hustle-bro-thoughts but lack-of-execution shame spiral. It's not the one. In this episode you can get REAL and most importantly immediately ACTIONABLE tips to take some steps towards your goals. This isn't about a 1-2-3 list of things to do but a change in behaviour that will set the foundations for a year of growth.

We are women who execute on their goals in 2026!!!

Tell me all about your energy-initiator (iykyk) and what action you took as a result after you finished the episode🎙️ @alexbeyondthoughts on IG and @alexololade on TT

I don't know about any one else, but 2026 is feeling like a clean slate. She's giving glorious, year of rebirth into full feminine desires/magnetism/expansion. It's VERY early into the new year but idk my guy, it's feeling good so far. Things feel easier, less resistance to wiser choices, hotter not just for the summer, intuition strong, p- .... lemme stop there if you know what I'm saying.

I think it's a year for the girls. I think it's a year for reconnecting with the present you, not the digital you. I think it's a 12-month period of full expansion and total expression, we aren't hiding away in this here 2026. I love this for the girls and I hope you're on this vibe too. If not, good job you're listening to the podcast - get in bby we're off to see what greatness the Universe has in store💫

Ever wondered how to ask better questions on your podcast? The kind that make guests and your audience say, “Wow, nobody’s ever asked me that before!”

In this episode, I’m breaking down the slightly more technical side of hosting:
🎧 Why deep listening matters more than a perfect question list
🎧 How to balance being prepared with staying genuinely curious
🎧The power of pausing (and why it makes your conversations 10x better)
🎧 How clarifying & building on guest answers keeps listeners hooked

Plus: why great questions make your guests want to come back—and why your audience will keep tuning in for your next episode, no matter who’s on the mic.

Whether you’re new to podcasting or want to level up your interviews, this is how to host conversations that feel alive, unrehearsed, and truly valuable.♡
