What if feeling everything: the highs, the lows, the messy in-between, was actually your greatest strength?

In this episode, Alexandra Roxo, transformational mentor and author of Dare to Feel, opens up about the power of emotional aliveness. She shares why so many women are conditioned to suppress their emotions, how we unknowingly disconnect from ourselves, and what happens when we finally allow ourselves to feel it all.

If you’ve ever struggled to balance being strong and soft, found yourself numbing out with busyness, or felt disconnected from your emotions, this conversation is for you. Alexandra makes a powerful case for why vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the key to deeper connection, freedom, and real power.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why women are taught to suppress emotions—and how to break free

• The sneaky ways we avoid feeling (hint: staying “busy” is a big one)

• How to embrace both strength and softness without shutting down

• The power of awareness in shifting emotional patterns

• How intimacy is built through real emotional connection

• Practical ways to reconnect with your emotions and your truth
