  • Ep. 65 - How to Rebuild Your Life When Everything Falls Apart: From Addiction to Purpose with Steve White

    Steve White's story is one of resilience, purpose, and what it means to fight your way back when life has stripped away the person you thought you were. After a devastating concussion at 17, followed by additional head injuries, cognitive decline, chronic health challenges, addiction, and periods of profound hopelessness, Steve reached a point where simply continuing became a choice. Today, Steve shares how rebuilding his life began by stripping everything back to the fundamentals: showing up, finding something worth fighting for, accepting help, serving others, and learning to believe that change was still possible. This episode explores why health and healing shouldn't be individual pursuits, how purpose can create gratitude, why cynicism can keep us trapped, the importance of community and a beginner's mindset, and how forgiving yourself can become an essential part of moving forward. Steve also shares the philosophy behind "Hold the Keep"—identifying what matters enough to keep fighting for—and how those lessons ultimately inspired his work helping others build stronger support systems (and how you can too).

    "We all get knocked down. We all have problems. And all the judgment, all the things that people say… but I got up." — Steve White

  • Ep. 64 - From American Idol Rejection to Building a Mission-Driven Entertainment Empire with Michelle Delamor

    What if the moments that look like rejection are actually redirecting you toward the work you were meant to do? Michelle Delamor's path has moved from an unconventional spiritual childhood and living in an ashram, to becoming an American Idol finalist, to creating the social-impact movement No Girl Left Behind, and ultimately co-founding an entertainment studio built around the pursuit of greatness. Michelle joins Alexis for a deeply personal conversation about purpose, resilience, emotional regulation, collaboration, entrepreneurship and the power of creating safe spaces. Together, they explore how Michelle learned to form her own narrative after public rejection, why conviction and relentless outreach can turn a vision into a movement, how mission and sustainable business can coexist, and why playing bigger requires the inner work to withstand greater visibility.

    "There's this light and there's a spark. There's a fire, and there's a purpose that is so much bigger than just you." — Michelle Delamor

  • Ep. 63 - Why Chasing Safety Is Keeping You Weak — On Strength, Purpose & Self-Mastery with James Beshara

    What if the life you are trying so hard to make safe is actually making you weaker? James Beshara—founder of Magic Mind, angel investor, entrepreneur and student of the Vedanta philosophy—joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about strength, responsibility, grief, entrepreneurship, philosophy and what it means to become the author of your own life. James traces his entrepreneurial lineage back four generations, shares how years of failure and a stress-induced heart condition reshaped his definition of success, and explains the ancient principle that right action is whatever generates energy within you. The conversation turns deeply personal as James opens up about losing his sister to suicide, the lessons his family carried forward, and why some of the hardest experiences of our lives can become sources of service, compassion and strength. Together, James and Alexis explore why safety can become a trap, why clarity requires radical self-responsibility, why peace and prosperity belong together, and how trust, relationships and a clearly defined destination can change the trajectory of a life. James's message is both challenging and liberating: stop outsourcing your power, look at your life clearly, and start from success—then work backwards.

  • Ep. 62 - Dianetics, Self-Worth & Breaking the Reactive Mind with Erika Christensen

    What happens when you stop allowing other people's expectations, opinions, and judgments to determine who you are? Actress Erika Christensen joins Alexis for an intimate exploration of self-worth, identity, authenticity, and the experiences that quietly shape the way we see ourselves. Erika reflects on entering Hollywood at just 12 years old and growing up in an industry where appearance, performance, and external validation are part of the job. From being asked to alter her appearance as a teenager to navigating motherhood, aging, beauty standards, and her relationship with her own body, Erika shares how she has learned to separate who she actually is from who the world expects her to be. The conversation goes deeper into Erika's experience with Dianetics and her understanding of the "reactive mind"—how painful experiences can become unconscious fears, assumptions, and behavioral patterns that continue influencing our present lives. This episode explains what happens when past pain becomes identity, why awareness can restore choice, and why the things we believe are "just who I am" may actually be learned responses that can be examined. At its core, this is a conversation about coming home to yourself—and realizing that growth doesn't require rejecting the person you used to be.

    "You can survive anything when you know who you are, what you believe in, that you don't need other people to validate you, that you are worthy." — Erika Christensen

  • Ep. 61 - The Hidden Toxins Making You Sick: Mold Exposure, Blue Light, EMFs & Sleep with Dan Huber

    Dan Huber went from losing nearly everything during the 2008 mortgage crisis to facing another battle entirely when he and his family developed a mysterious collection of health problems that doctors couldn't explain. Dan joins Alexis Artin for a wide-ranging conversation about toxic mold exposure, blue light, EMFs, sleep, mental health, medical self-advocacy, and the hidden environmental factors that may be affecting our well-being. They also explore the growing mental health crisis among young people, Dan's work with Hope Chain and suicide prevention, the importance of human connection in an increasingly AI-driven world, and why giving ourselves more grace, permission, and forgiveness may be essential to navigating modern life. From losing everything to rebuilding his health and turning adversity into service, Dan's story is ultimately about learning to trust yourself, keep going, and use what you've survived to help someone else.

    "Congratulations. The expectations others had of you, and more importantly, the negative expectations you had of yourself—you've gotten through all of it. And you're here." — Dan Huber

  • Ep. 60 - How to Quiet the Noise, Overcome Self-Doubt & Become Who You Really Are with Jesse Israel

    What if the parts of yourself you've spent your entire life trying to suppress are actually your greatest gifts? Jesse Israel went from being an expressive, rebellious kid who learned to make himself smaller, to experiencing debilitating anxiety and panic attacks, to eventually standing in arenas leading tens of thousands of people in meditation alongside Oprah. Jesse joins Alexis Artin for a deeply personal conversation about anxiety, self-doubt, meditation, authenticity, purpose and overcoming fear, revealing how founding a record label that helped launch MGMT ultimately led him toward an entirely different calling with The Big Quiet. Together, Jesse and Alexis explore why we shrink ourselves to feel safe, how comparison distorts our definition of success, why silence can become a competitive advantage in an increasingly noisy world, and what happens when you finally stop running from the thing that scares you. Jesse's realization is powerful: sometimes the other side of fear isn't simply courage—it's your power.

    "There's something so powerful about creating quiet in the face of all that noise. I felt like I was the eye of the storm." — Jesse Israel

  • Ep. 59 - Stop Chasing the Perfect Body: Real Strength, Confidence & Self-Worth with Kenny Santucci

    What happens when the kid who never felt like he belonged stops waiting to be invited and starts building his own table? Kenny Santucci went from growing up insecure and overweight in an emotionally tough New Jersey household—and eventually living out of his car—to building gyms, Strong New York, and a career centered around helping other people become stronger. But his definition of strength, confidence and success has changed dramatically along the way. Kenny and Alexis Artin unpack male body insecurity, why fitness has to become about more than aesthetics, the loneliness epidemic, social media and AI replacing human connection, finding your true purpose, and why money and status can't manufacture fulfillment. Kenny also explains why real strength isn't about how much you can lift—it's about how many times you can pick yourself back up, and how many people you help up along the way. Ultimately, this is a conversation about turning insecurity into purpose, creating belonging when you never felt like you belonged, and building a life so meaningful you don't constantly need to escape from it.

    "What my biggest struggle was in life is now my empathy towards other people, and that's why I want to help them." - Kenny Santucci

  • Ep. 58 - Why You're Stressed, Anxious & Exhausted (And Your Body Knows Why) | Liz Tenuto

    What if your anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia, or burnout isn't something to fight—but a message your body has been trying to deliver all along? Bestselling author and somatic healing expert Liz Tenuto is here to explore how trauma becomes stored in the body, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves, and how simple daily somatic practices can begin restoring safety, peace, and resilience. Liz vulnerably shares her own journey through childhood sexual assault, chronic pain, insomnia, and years of searching for answers before discovering somatic movement. Together, Alexis and Liz unpack embodiment, nervous system regulation, women's relationship with their bodies, modern stress, AI and disconnection, healing through movement, and why your body may be the most honest guide you'll ever have.

    "Your body can't lie. It's the most honest messenger you'll ever have." - Liz Tenuto

  • Ep. 57 - The Hidden Wounds Controlling Your Relationships (And How to Rewire Them) | Thais Gibson

    Why do we continue choosing the same relationships, struggle with self-worth, or repeat destructive habits even when we consciously want to change? In this powerful conversation, Alexis sits down with attachment expert and founder of The Personal Development School, Thais Gibson, to explore the science of attachment styles, subconscious programming, trauma healing, addiction recovery, emotional regulation, and lasting personal transformation. Together they unpack how childhood conditioning shapes adult relationships, why the subconscious mind drives nearly every decision we make, and practical tools anyone can use to rewire limiting beliefs, regulate the nervous system, build healthier relationships, and finally break lifelong patterns.

    "If you don't clean up your wounds, you'll keep projecting them onto every relationship." - Thais Gibson

  • Ep. 56 - How Your Brain Keeps You SICK (and how to FIX IT with Bio Emotional Healing) with Ashleigh Di Lello

    In this powerful episode of Look At Me Now, Alexis Artin sits down with neuroscience expert and brain coach Ashleigh Di Lello to unpack a story that defies logic, medicine, and odds. After being told at just 13 years old that she wouldn't survive, Ashleigh used the power of her brain and belief to fight back—only to later face chronic pain that forced her to relearn healing from the inside out. Together, they explore the truth about trauma, the nervous system, and how the brain can both protect and trap us in survival mode. This conversation blends science and soul, offering practical insight into how to rewire your mind, reconnect with your body, and reclaim control over your health and your life.
