What does it mean to rebuild your life in the face of relentless adversity? What if your pain became the birthplace of your greatest power?

In an extraordinary return to the LOA Today show, Alyx and Walt explored these questions - illuminating how vulnerability, boundaries, and boldness can ignite a cosmic return like no other.

From the opening words, you could feel the warmth and camaraderie. Walt greeted listeners and celebrated Alyx’s presence, “the woman who knows how to set personal boundaries.” Alyx replied with laughter and honesty: “It’s good to be back. It’s been a minute years! Yeah. Lots happened during that time, too. Lots has happened.” Their chemistry was instantly apparent, setting the stage for candid conversation and big-hearted reflection.

As Alyx detailed her struggles with thoracic endometriosis and the sometimes isolating road to healing, a profound lesson emerged. “It was a lot trials and tribulations, ups and downs, but I kept it positive. I kept pushing and advocating. That was key,” she said. Her persistence led not only to personal healing but the founding of a community support group, proof that suffering can become service.

Throughout the episode, Walt invited Alyx to reflect on the transformative power of hardship. “How do you feel about it? Do you look back and say, ‘That was the best thing that ever happened?’” Alyx’s answer soared: “I won’t say it’s the best thing that happened, but I will say we have to go through things to create the person that we are today. It’s not always the incident. It’s the reaction.”

The conversation radiated with humor and resilience, especially as Alyx described her return to standup comedy. She gave the audience a peek into her crowdwork process - “If nobody participates, that again, ruins the rest of my five minutes. So, yeah, you gotta pin them down” and her passion for laughter as healing. “You have to have a passion for it. Otherwise, it’s just work. And who wants that?” she quipped.

Walt and Alyx also delved into the power of boundaries at work, in comedy, and in life. Alyx shared, “If you don’t have boundaries for yourself, you’re going to end up absorbing everybody else’s stuff. Boundaries are vital in every spot in your life.” This became a recurring theme: that self-care, honesty, and even humor are crucial tools for navigating both difficulty and joy.

Perhaps most touching was Alyx’s account of her relationship with her husband Kenny, and their forthcoming PBS feature. From a chance connection on Facebook Dating (prodded by a nudge from a relationship coach on a previous episode!) to finding love and building a life together, Alyx’s story is a testament to faith, tenacity, and hope.

In a world eager for hope, this conversation is a powerful reminder: We become stronger at the broken places, laughter truly is medicine, and our stories can change and even save lives.

As Walt movingly said, “On behalf of those people you’ve never met, Alyx, thank you for what you’re doing. Because you’re making a difference in this world.”
