Hey guys, 

Welcome back to the show! Today, I am so hyped to share this conversation with you, indeed, today we'll be talking all things self-expression, creativity & authenticity with probably the most artistic person I know. Please can we welcome my friend .... ALICIA BENJAMIN !!

We begin our convo by diving into the journey of Alicia's self - expression. We learn how from such a young age Alicia would dress in a very particular way with the male's gaze very much at the forefront of her mind when selecting her outfit. She dressed in a manner which today shocks her because of its inappropriately provocative nature & being not for herself at all. Interestingly, it's only recently that Alicia has felt confident enough to use her appearance as a form of self-expression. Everything that she does now is an expression of her truest self & her current feelings day to day and it's truly beautiful to see. 

We talk about how authenticity and genuine passion towards something (alongside integrity ;) are such attractive qualities which inevitably attract likeminded individuals. We discuss why, in our experiences & opinions, some people are more self-expressive than others and how important childhood environments are to developing this ( shoutout to everyone's favourite girl school environments haha ;)

We also deconstruct jealousy and how to transform that feeling into a positive and healthy one instead - inspiration. Heads up - yes you may think it's cringe but truly your superpower is YOU so just be your wonderful self always :))

Finally, we finish this part by basically coming up with Alicia's next self-expressive endeavour - let's acc make it happen Alicia! 

Cant wait to see you in part two :))
