Strategic Pause: End of Season 1
I am calling today’s episode The Strategic Pause.
Or Start Where You Are: Part 2
Or The End of Season One.
Stay with me, Excellent One. ;)
"Vulva Shots with Alix" is a personal development podcast that focuses on challenging conditioning, examining personal narratives, and developing self-trust.
The podcast is a platform for me to share my personal journey of doing THE WORK in real time and to TEST my idea, this concept, of leaning into vulnerability as strength training.
How was this a test?
Well, I knew I wasn’t alone doing the hard work. There are a whack of wickedly wonderful humans that I had the privilege of connecting with over the last few years through our coffee roasting business who were also daring into megawatt change.
What I wondered was could we connect and continue doing THE WORK separate but together through this format?
Yes. Yes we can. We are!
The most recent feedback I received from a stellar human not only made me burst into tears of joy (because this is one way I hope this podcast serves you), it signalled to me that it is time to shift.
“Last week found me in a bit of a spiral and in some of the more challenging moments, I turned to your podcast for reminders on the small acts we can take to shift the energy and ground ourselves. Having those cues in my ears helped profoundly. Where I would typically crawl into bed and shut away, becoming consumed by thoughts of shame and guilt, I focused on your words: journey, move, nourish, find your people who dig your stink.
Thank you 🙏 ✨✨✨
So grateful to be able to press play on your podcast and instantly feeling less alone and emboldened to stay on the hook. 💕”
HOW BADASS IS THIS HUMAN?!
Not only did they lean into their hard and dare to try something new, against their grain, they generously shared this incredible, thoughtful feedback with me as I also dare forward from my hard and into my potential.
I AM BLOODY GRATEFUL.
I believe this is how we are better together.
At some point healing/learning/growth demands we dare forward. For me, beyond the support of professional therapists and coaches, daring to be the awkward, vulnerable beginner “in front” of others who dare with care too, has been the most inspiring, energizing and effective tactic along this journey.
And to create the space, the content, the high-vibes to better connect with you and to serve all of us through this podcast demands more of me - clarity, focus, skills development, time and follow-through. A plan. A map.
Last week I hit the wall. Starting where I am each week to create episodes takes a tremendous amount of energy. To create episodes from scratch, record and publish them and then attempt to switch into a productive planning mode is not effective nor is it sustainable for me.
To serve you well and my purpose for this podcast, wildly running full-tilt boogie without a map, well, I’ve already run that pattern. It’s time to refine.
Hence, THE STRATEGIC PAUSE
I'll be developing more structured episodes with consistent segments you can reach for when you are going against your grain. One segment I'm excited to develop is “The Pattern Interrupt” which will give you a specific practice each week to experiment with as we challenge our conditioning and patterns.
I'll be creating more opportunities for us to connect and to lean into vulnerability as strength training together.
The catch is WE will create these opportunities together. ;)
And I'll be ensuring that the content serves you even more powerfully by building on what we've established so far and by consistently checking in with you along the way.
I'll be back on MAY 8TH with our Season 2 premiere episode, and I promise it will be worth the wait!
I created a short survey that will take 5-7 minutes-ish to complete, but will profoundly shape what comes next:

YOU ARE AMAZING.
Mark May 8th in your calendar now, Excellent One.
Set an alarm, create a reminder, or better yet - share with someone that you'll be listening to Vulva Shots with Alix that day. Let's make a date to reconnect.
SHINE ON,
Alix xxo
