Hi! Happy Tuesday!

Today, we speak to cognitive neuroscientist and podcaster Alexis Fernandez Preiksa. Alexis has done so much in her career already, from fitness instructing to acting to neuroscience. Now, Alexis hosts the Do You F*cking Mind podcast. 

In this conversation, Alexis speaks about the relic passed down to her through generations, a gentle reminder of her family’s painful past. She speaks about the rewarding risks she’s been brave enough to take in her career and opens up about the moment she moved overseas on a whim, the emotional toll that comes with dating a narcissist, and how to pick yourself back up after coming out of a toxic relationship.
