Her resilience and determination led her to a path of self-care and helping others achieve their fitness, nutrition, and life goals. Alexis's story is a testament to the power of turning adversity into purpose and growth.

We also uncover the hidden strengths of neurodivergent minds, particularly focusing on ADHD.

Finally, we explore the themes of change, authenticity, and living in the present moment. Alexis talks about the societal pressures that make changing our minds difficult and emphasizes the need for seeking peace and authenticity in our lives.
