Alexandra’s Alley

In this episode I welcomed two of my local candidates, Jennifer Figueroa and Rich Vargus, to share their visions for our community and give them a platform to express the ideas they’re campaigning on. Their candid conversation highlighted pressing issues and shared innovative ideas that will resonate with many residents.

Jennifer Figueroa, running for New York State Senate here in the 42nd district, expressed her motivation stemming from conversations with community members. She expressed that so many people feel unheard and upset about changes in our neighborhood, especially with rapid overdevelopment and affordability issues. 

Rich Vargus, a candidate for the New York State Assembly here in the 99th district, echoed these sentiments. He emphasized the importance of addressing public safety concerns and the impact of policies like cashless bail.

Both candidates identified critical issues affecting our community.

As they campaign for office, both Figueroa and Vargus are committed to listening to their constituents and addressing the real issues facing everyday people like you and I. Their shared vision is not just about winning an election but about cultivating a community where every voice is heard.

In a world where local politics can feel distant, Figueroa and Vargus remind us that we the people have the power to enact the change we wish to see in our communities. New York has the opportunity to elect leaders that are truly willing to fight for us. Let’s do this thing NY!

*Please note: This podcast is NOT sponsored by either candidate.

In this episode, I sat down with Avery for a candid, funny, and moving conversation about a religious transformation, standing firm in hostile spaces, and why the future of a conservative political culture depends on more than just debating at a table. Avery opens up about her journey from lukewarm beliefs to how she became on fire for the pro-life movement and her Christian faith. Avery is now the bold creator behind @a.very.strong.stance on Instagram, where she shares faith-based, pro-life, and conservative content. She is also the President of a TPUSA chapter on her college campus.

Together, we discuss what it means to live boldly, create content with purpose, and remain faithful even when others pressure you to stay silent. This episode is part testimony, part encouragement, and part reminder that courage can inspire others. If you care about faith, conservative values, pro-life advocacy, or creating content that reflects what you believe, this conversation is for you. We hope you tune in and learn something new!

The rise of socialism in America is not something to blindly ignore. In this episode, I deliver a fiery, direct warning about what I see in the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America, and why staying home on election day is a mistake one may not be able to undo.

If you want a say in America’s future, you have to show up now. Voting is a privilege protected by generations of sacrifice. Local elections, primaries, congressional & senate races matter just as much as presidential races.

I walk through the DSA agenda point by point, including proposals around healthcare, housing, policing, immigration, the Green New Deal, the Electoral College, and economic democracy. These policies would reshape the country, weaken individual liberty, and concentrate power in ways most voters do not fully understand.

If you want a passionate call to action and a no-apologies breakdown of why voting matters, this episode is for you.

Stop & consider this: Do you truly know about the effects that an abortion has on a woman’s body and mind?

This is the second episode of my new series on my podcast where I do a deep dive into the abortion industry and expose the darkness of it all.

Countless women have walked into an abortion clinic without fully understanding all of the risks that can come with getting an abortion. From mental health struggles to physical complications, the abortion industry often glosses over the realities that can affect women long-term. 

The abortion industry fails to let you know that women who have abortions are 81% more likely to face mental health problems. This includes anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Women and their babies deserve better than harm and lies.

Click the link in my bio to listen to the full episode and get informed. It’s time we support women by uplifting them and telling them the truth in love. 

My job is to show you the truth. I hope you listen and learn, and by the end of it all join me in standing for life.

I’m starting a new series on my podcast where I do a deep dive into the abortion industry and expose the darkness of it all.

For the first installment in this series, I’m exposing the founder of “Planned Parenthood” and what she truly stood for. What the founder stood for is exactly the kind of thing that the abortion industry tries to hide from the masses.

Today I’m telling you the truth about how this evil movement began. If you don’t know a lot about what the abortion industry is truly like or if you’re not sure about where to stand when it comes to abortion, please listen to my series.

My job is to show you the truth. I hope you listen and learn, and by the end of it all join me in standing for life.

What is an alien? Are they real?

For a while now, I have felt something was off about the whole alien narrative. It wasn’t until I grew deeper in my Catholic faith that I began to see things in a different way. Many Catholics have their own theories about aliens, and it’s important to research what members of the Catholic Church have to say about this topic. 

I share resources that express that aliens are actually just fallen angels in disguise, trying to deceive us. What society wants us to believe are intelligent green beings from space, are really just pawns in the evil one’s schemes. 

Don't fall for the deception. Stay close to Jesus.

In this episode I sat down with my friend William Sauber to have a conversation about the pro-life movement. I wanted to get his perspective about the importance of standing for life as a male. So often the pro-choice side wants to tell us that men cannot have an opinion when it comes to abortion, but William & I are here to prove why that is not correct. Men’s voices absolutely matter. Men can influence women, be leaders, and help women choose life. Tune in to this episode to learn more about why it’s so important for men to stand up for life as well as other topics pertaining to Catholicism.

There’s a lot happening in the world right now and it can feel overwhelming and hopeless. In this episode I talk about the events that have happened in the political space during the month of March and how we need to keep our eyes on Christ. No matter what is going on in the world around us, we must remember to strengthen our faith and eliminate our fear. Jesus already won the battle, let us keep Him close to our hearts. God bless you all and stay faithful.

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!
