Take A Chance On You

Addressing the universal anxiety about falling behind, offering a personal, uplifting message with strong potential for conversation.

"I'm learning boundaries and I'm learning when to say no and I'm learning when to take a step back and we've spoken about meditation a lot".

Alexandra describes the art of meditation and the impact this has had on her in 2026. Practising every single day for the last six - seven months.

The pressures of feeling behind and just knowing that you're not can help. Alexandra, like you, struggles with that, thinking she is getting older and not moving at a fast pace.

But if you actually sit and self-reflect, you'd be surprised.

Take A Chance On You

This platform focuses on three core pillars: Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Creatives. Listeners can expect immersion in live activations (Alexandra providing coverage at events, conferences and festivals) alongside studio-setup interviews with brands and partners. This is your chance to join this thriving community.

Hands-up if you've ever felt like you aren't good enough?

Contrary to popular belief, Alexandra spent many years working behind the scenes and is an introvert by nature. 

You know what she learn’t? introversion is her superpower. It helps set boundaries, walk away from situations and environments that drain her energy. Anyone who is an introvert will know we only have a certain amount of hours we can give before stepping back to observe. 

These days, Alexandra can cope with extending herself for weeks if not months at a time due to the nature of her work. 

But she wasn’t always like this. 

Over the years, public exposure means Alexandra has developed certains skills that help navigate the somewhat overwhelming feelings that come with public speaking, being a podcast host and now working across media. 

Alexandra's emotional journey from not feeling good enough to community connection, prompting discussions on confidence and belonging.

This week we go back in time and unpack Alexandra’s risk-taking mentality, how she cultivated a resilient mindset, navigated entrepreneurial challenges including burnout and stress all while maintaining composure + giving it a go! 

How far would you go to live your dream life?

Doors vs Dreamers 

This is often a popular personal-growth question.

Alexandra left a comfortable corporate job in cyber security because her purpose / ambition had outgrown her current role and mindset. 

She never had a full safety net, the podcast / entering media wasn’t something she planned for, however remained a true believer that life pushes you in the direction of destiny sooner rather than later. 

The difference between Doors and Dreamers: one walks through what's in front of them, whilst the other builds the door and does not wait for permission!

It wouldn't be a true TACOY campaign if host Alexandra didn't try and actively use the product herself.

She met Axolt for the first time at the longevity show and when they told her about the brand she knew this was something to get behind and advocate for.

On the podcast we got into women's and men's health, and what longevity means once you take the marketing out of it. Axolt have been going for around eighteen months, roughly as long as this podcast has. They're now bringing their brain supplement into the UK market.

Please enjoy a little clip taste testing Axolt and try it yourself!

Over the past week, Take A Chance On You have been joined by Peter Hutter and Martin Valovsky, co-founders of Axolt, a science-backed recovery tool designed to support your brain health, gut-brain axis, and long-term cognitive performance.

We explored the origins of Axolt, what drew us together, and why authenticity matters when building a brand in the early stages.

We dived deep into:

• The gut-brain connection and how it impacts your overall wellbeing

• Recognising signs of burnout and overload (and what recovery actually looks like)

• Why sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress management are non-negotiable

• How community and founder storytelling shape brand trust

• The intersection of AI, authenticity, and building with conviction

Whether you're navigating perimenopause, managing brain fog, or simply seeking science-backed insights into longevity, this conversation offers practical wisdom and real talk about what it takes to show up for yourself.

Axolt is the best formulation you can get today, and they keep improving it as the research moves.

Straight answer on how confident they are in the formula. Almost everything we know about the brain has turned up in the last 10 to 20 years, which makes it one of the most exciting areas in science right now.

Emotional intelligence means staying present, aware, and human when scaling your business, leading, and managing high-stakes decisions.

When you strip away the noise, three things separate leaders who burn out from those who thrive:

• Emotional Intelligence → How you read yourself and others
• Empathy → How you lead with people, not just at them
• Respect → The foundation that makes both possible

For high-performing teams navigating uncertainty, AI transformation, and the pressure to do more with less; the truth is you cannot lead others through change if you haven't learned to lead yourself through it.
