In this episode of Alexandra's Alley, I discuss the lives of two significant figures in the Catholic Church: Pope John Paul II, who has been canonized as a saint, and Michelle Dupont, who is in the process of being considered for sainthood. Join me as I dive into their inspiring lives, faith journeys, and the impact they had on those around them. I hope we can all look to the saints during this time of Lent for inspiration on how to draw closer to Jesus. Remember to take the road less traveled and continue to pursue your path to sainthood. God bless and peace be with you!

In honor of Trump’s one year anniversary of being President again, I am celebrating his administration’s top 10 accomplishments that were achieved throughout 2025. I provide my opinions and analysis on what I thought were specifically the best things that Trump was able to get done in the first year of his second term. I talk about issues like immigration, the economy, the latest news in the pro-life movement, the MAHA movement, and more. Although President Trump will never be perfect, and there are many things to improve on and correct, I am grateful he is our president again. Please continue to pray for Trump and his administration. Pray that God gives them all the wisdom to fulfill His will and not their own. God bless y’all and stay safe!

In this episode I addresses the ongoing infighting within the conservative movement and come to offer a different perspective. The infighting must end, and we must find unity again. We have to put our focus back on Jesus Christ. We must look to God as our moral compass in order to drown out the awful and disgusting noise. We have to remember the importance of faith, forgiveness, and compassion. Choose Christ over anything else. God is our light amongst the darkness. Put your trust in our Heavenly Father and have hope that He will make all things right.

In this episode, I debunk the absurd myths surrounding Christmas and its connection to pagan roots. I emphasize the holiday's true meaning, which is the celebration of Christ's birth. I encourage my listeners to keep an open mind when listening to this and to share it with someone who is not sure about the true meaning of this most holy day. The skeptics and the critics cannot stop us from celebrating the arrival of our Savior. This December as you decorate your Christmas tree and gather with your family and friends, do not forget the reason for the season and the hope Jesus gives us.

In this episode of Alexandra's Alley, I am celebrating All Saints Day by exploring the lives of lesser-known saints. I decided to highlight several saints, their unique stories, and the lessons their lives have taught us all. Each saint's journey reflects themes of faith, redemption, and the universal call to holiness. We can all find a friend within a saint. Chances are, there is at least one saint out there that we can relate to in some way. The episode emphasizes the importance of remembering our brothers and sisters in Christ and their contributions to the Catholic faith. I encourage everyone listening to find inspiration and hope in their stories. All glory to God! Happy All Saints Day!

There’s a lot of misconceptions about Halloween, and I’m here to put them to rest. In this episode of Alexandra's Alley, I explain the origins of Halloween and what it really means. The holiday is not actually pagan like many have come to believe through incorrect narratives being pushed. The truth is, it is rooted in Catholicism and always has been. Trick or treating is not harmful and dressing up in innocent or silly costumes is not evil like some people make it out to be. I even share how I shifted my own mindset when it comes to Halloween and how I gave up things that are problematic. If you’re curious about Halloween and what it all means, listen to this episode and learn something new. Have a safe, happy, and holy Halloween! :)

In this episode of Alexandra's Alley, I explored the lives of two young saints, St. Therese of Lisieux and St. Pier Giorgio Frassati. I discuss how they lived out the faith, the miracles attributed to them, and how they have impacted the Catholic Church. Throughout the conversation I emphasize the importance of having a strong faith, the role that saints play when we ask for their intercession, and the message that one can live a Christ-like life at any age. I encourage all of my listeners to embrace their faith and live it out boldly so that others may see Jesus living in you.

It’s also been exactly one year since the first episode of Alexandra’s Alley premiered. Thank you all for your support and for being on this journey with me. 

All my love,

Alexandra

In this episode, I explain the significance of the Blessed Mother and pay tribute to Charlie Kirk. I debunk misconceptions about Mary and dive into her true role in Christianity. I share what Charlie had to say about our blessed mother, as well as the impact he had on my life. 

May we all be bold for our love for Jesus and continue to speak the truth just as Charlie did. It is our duty to continue the legacy he left. We will not let his voice fade away. Now is not the time to back down or to hide. We must suit up with the armor of God and continue to preach the good news that Jesus Chist died so we could be saved. We must tell people how important family is and the undeniable value that life has from the moment of conception. Do it for the glory of God, just like Charlie taught us.

God bless you all and stay safe.

This episode is about a very serious topic. Prayer is not a passive act, but rather it is a call to action. I discuss how Catholics should respond to tragedy and violence, especially in light of recent events. I emphasize both the power & importance of prayer, critiqued the responses that grossly dismiss the true meaning of prayer, and discussed how we must come together as a community. We have to address how so many of us have turned away from the Lord, as well as the ongoing mental health crisis in America. Please continue to pray for those affected by this horrible tragedy. Pray without ceasing and may our faith in God grow stronger. God bless you all.
