Alexis and I met for coffee, and before long, we were in one of those conversations you don’t expect—but don’t want to end either.

We talked about what it feels like to be 25 and not have it all figured out. The quiet pressure of asking yourself: Am I behind? Should I go back to school? Do I even want kids? She opened up about how epilepsy shaped the way she thinks about motherhood, how faith gives her something steady to lean on, and how even small run-ins with strangers—whether out walking or browsing through a store—can leave a lasting impact.

This isn’t a loud episode. It’s a slow one. The kind you sit with. The kind that reminds you just how much can be shared between two people over coffee.
