Let's Create With Alex Blake

Live from Arizonaaaa 🌵 I'm here for Preston Luke's event, celebrating my 30th birthday with a full-blown early 2000s party, and YES—Photo Camp sign-ups are officially open (one cabin is already full 😳)!

In today's episode, I'm slowing down to share a few things I wish someone had told me in my early 20s… from deep stuff (like asking yourself why more often) to simple reminders (say yes to the dang trip!). Whether you're in your 20s or reflecting on them, this one's full of encouragement, honesty, and a whole lotta fun. 🤍

🎉MENTORSHIPS If you're craving direction in your photo business, want real, honest guidance, or just wanna hang with me in person—my 1:1 mentorships are open (in person or virtual)! https://www.alexblakeeducation.com/services

What actually makes someone confident? It's not what you think.

In this week's episode, I sat down with Neha Dias—a figure skater turned fitness coach. We talk about her journey through a traumatic brain injury, a relationship that made her start from scratch, and how fitness became her way of taking her life back.

We also dive deep into:

• What confidence really means (hint: it's not about how you look)
  
  

• Flipping comparison into fuel
  
  

• Practical habits that actually build self-worth
  
  

• Why being "the best" isn't the goal—and what to aim for instead
  
  

Whether you're in the gym every day or haven't worked out in years, this episode is for anyone who's ever felt insecure or unsure of their worth. Neha's story will leave you inspired, encouraged, and ready to speak kinder to yourself.

In this solo episode, Alex gets personal with life updates and opens up about how faith has become a bigger part of both her life and this podcast. She shares why so many listeners have been asking about faith and the Bible, and she's here to break it down in a way that feels approachable—even if you don't know where to start.

Alex introduces the SOAP method (a super simple way to study scripture), explains why different Bible translations matter, and talks about how understanding context can make a huge difference when reading ancient texts. She also dives into the power of community in faith, why struggling with scripture is totally normal, and how starting in the New Testament can give you a solid foundation.

Most importantly—there's no such thing as doing it perfectly. If you miss a day, that's okay. God isn't keeping score; He's celebrating your curiosity and patience in the process. So whether you're new to faith or just looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is all about giving yourself grace and growing.
