  • alive

    This is without a doubt the scariest thing I’ve ever shared.

    Every Mental Health Awareness Month, I share something pithy and trite.

    (Maybe I’m being unfair to myself. Sometimes I post a throwback from the play I wrote about a therapist and her patients.)

    A lot of people don’t know the parts of my story that I share in this video.

    And even the people who know have never heard me talk about it like this.

    (If you know nothing about me at all, maybe start here for an overview.)

    I’m scared of what people will think of me for sharing this. And that’s kind of exactly why I’m sharing it.

    I created Wild Cozy Free to cut through the facades and charades, and pretenses of day-to-day life. This is a place where I want to keep showing up as my full, messy, imperfect self. And what I’m sharing today is part of my story.

    This is a place where I want to prove to myself, and to you, that shame dies when the truth is told in safe spaces. (Ann Voskamp) (Although honestly, I’ve heard a lot of variations of this quote over the years, so please correct me if someone else was the first to say this!)

    For anyone who is battling the kinds of thoughts I’ll discuss in the video above, there are so many resources like the 988 Lifeline and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) full of experienced, empathetic, trained professionals who are here to help. (AFSP is the organization that hosts the Out of the Darkness Walks that I talk about in the video above.)

    There is no shame in getting help. And there is no shame in what you’re going through.

    You are never, ever, alone.

  • Swimming Like Hell

    Hi friends. It’s been a minute. Many minutes, hours, days, weeks, and months since I last published anything here.

    I have been doing a lot of writing and stopping and starting and stopping and rewriting and musing on what my first post back would be. I haven’t published anything personal that really speaks to what's going on with me in a while.

    I feel almost paralyzed with anxiety every time I sit down to write to you. I’ve gotten teary more than once. I get a few paragraphs in, and then I stop and start again.

  • The Black Becky Bloomwood

    LINKS MENTIONED

    Alexa's FB Marketplace

    Authenticity and Money Conversation w/Melissa Mitt

    Essay I Wrote About Selling My Coffeetable

    Read the full essay/transcript at wildcozyfree.substack.com. Excerpt below!

    “OK don't panic.”

    Books 1-6 in Sophie Kinsella’s brilliant Shopaholic series all start with those three words except for the one that begins with,

    "OK. I can do this, no problem."

    Some of Sophie Kinsella’s stand-alone novels start in a similar tone. The first line of My Not So Perfect Life reads,

    “First: It could be worse.”

    If you string those phrases together, your mantra might become,

    “OK don’t panic. I can do this, no problem. It could be worse.”

    Pretty good reminder for someone who finds themselves in a tricky predicament.

    And God knows, Becky Bloomwood (protagonist of the Shopaholic series) has been in plenty of those. 

    Here are similarities that Becky and I now share, many years after I first started the beloved series —

    * We’re both writers

    * We both love shopping and luxury

    * We both share the same strong determination and willpower. In short, we’re creative problem solvers who don’t give up. 

    Oh – and one more important similarity – 

    We’re both facing sizable credit card debt.

  • An Ode to Sammy Rae and the Friends & The Girl Who Just Bought My Coffee Table

    I am in my own lane I will not let myself down

    I am in my own place, I am my own house

    I’m sitting on my living room floor on a chilly January Sunday. I just sold a coffee table I’ve never really liked, to a recent college graduate who loves it. She’s furnishing her first New York City apartment.

    I’ve been wanting to sell this table for a while, so I’m thrilled that it’s finally sold. And yet, I imagined I’d still be a little sad to walk back into my apartment and see the empty space where the table used to be. I was prepared to hold space for all the emotions.

    I walked back to my apartment and all I felt was relief, peace, and gratitude.

    I played Living Room Floor because these lyrics are now more appropriate than ever.

    Ain’t it something?

    Sitting cross-legged ‘cause we haven’t got a table yet

    saving up gonna get a few chairs, get a whole set

    and I got my bed and my closet and a living room floor

    I got a living room floor

    and I got it deep down in my soul

    I also felt pretty damn excited and proud of myself, so I played this song next.

    Let’s throw a party! Somebody’s turning thirty

    Ooh and we ain't looked this good since we don’t even know since when

    Let’s throw a party! I finally made some money

    Ooh, and can you dig it, baby? I finally dig myself again

    As I was lounging on my living room floor, singing along, contemplating whether or not booking a flight to Europe to see The Friends in concert is realistic, I heard Sammy Rae say this at the end of Let’s Throw a Party,

    Silver Spring, Maryland we love you so much. Thank you.

    Guess where the girl I just sold my coffee table graduated from a few months ago?

    Maryland.

    How magical is that?

    I just shared the story above with some friends in a group chat - and immediately wanted to share it with you too.

    I’m proud to say that I turned these friends into Sammy and The Friends fans after an incredible dance party.

    At the last Friends concert I went to (I’ve been to 4), Sammy Rae said that if you’ve never heard their music before - you should listen to this one first. I’ll add that you should watch the music video because it really gives you a sense of the Friends vibe.

    Once you’ve listened to that song (and have fallen in love with them), I recommend going back to the beginning and listening to Jackie Onassis*, Whatever We Feel, Kick It To Me, and of course, the songs I’ve mentioned above (Living Room Floor + Let’s Throw a Party) before sinking your teeth into the new album, Something For Everbody.

    *this song was the beginning of my bisexual awakening

    Maybe you’ll find some new songs that will become the soundtrack for some of your life’s biggest moments too.

    And yes, I do consider selling my coffee table a big life moment. Money is tight right now, and I used part of the $ from this sale to pay my therapist, who I cannot wait to tell this story.

    If you’re looking for some fun new stuff for your closet, kitchen, and more (want a peloton?) Stay tuned for an upcoming essay where I’ll be talking about some more things that I’m selling + the inspiration behind my virtual garage sale of sorts.

    I’ll leave you with the lyrics from Coming Home Song I quoted in the intro of my book.

    Doing alright ain't a damn crime

    Feeling it all for the first time

    And you're just getting into your prime

    Leave a light on for yourself

    PS This entire moment is brought to you by Marc Milone who introduced me to Sammy Rae and The Friends! Marc sent me Whatever We Feel out of the blue, and then I kept listening to the queue, and Jackie Onassis came on, and then they were like, “Wait, I only know that one song!” and now we are both obsessed.

    Marc is going on a BIG BIG exciting life adventure tomorrow, and I would be remiss if I didn’t use this shoutout to send them all the good vibes and love possible. It is truly the stuff of dreams. If you could send some great energy their way too - that would mean the world to me.

    Marc, I love you, DEEP. You’ve got this. Couldn’t be prouder of you. Don’t know where I’d be without you. Go crush it.

  • I'm over society's obsession with January

    Hi friends. Happy New Year. 

    Like me, I’m sure you’ve been inundated with all the ‘New Year New Me’ newsletters, gym memberships, etc. telling you how 2025 is going to be your year. Rather than cut through the noise, I decided to just wait it out and stay in holiday cocoon mode a little while longer. 

    But now that I’m here in your inbox, I couldn’t be more excited to tell you about my new framework for becoming your real self, setting real goals, and making real changes in your life. 

    It’s unlike anything I’ve put together before, and I’m so happy to finally share it with you. 

    There are a lot of things that excite me about this new project, but I think the BEST part is that I came up with this idea nestled under the covers, avoiding ‘new year new me’ emails and generally resisting January hustle culture. 

    Let me explain, starting from the beginning. 

    For the past few weeks, I’ve been staying up late writing, and waking up late too.  Last week,  I went for a snowy walk in Central Park and then got all of the ingredients for my favorite broccoli cheddar soup. My Christmas tree is still up, partly because I love it and also because I can’t even begin to summon the energy to take it down. 

    I’ve been thinking about last January, when I started New Year Authentic You; a tiny idea that somehow became a conversation series, a podcast, and a 100+ page workbook.  While figuring out what I wanted to offer you at the beginning of this year, it seemed like a no brainer to bring that all back. I loved kicking off 2024 with all of you last year.

    New Year Authentic You was born out of my frustration with stereotypical resolutions, and the emphasis on becoming brand new in the new year. 

    This year, I came up against another frustration that lay underneath the surface of the ‘the new year new me’ frustration; society’s obsession with January. 

    The idea that we need to go-go-go at the very start of the year, right after sprinting like hell to get to the end of the previous year. I think that creating the Holiday Surivival Kit really allowed me to reflect on just how exhausting the holiday season can be. I ended 2024 more exhausted than ever. 

    I am still just as interested as ever in helping you become more yourself so that you can live the most wild cozy free life that you can – more interested than ever, in fact.  I have so much to share with you; everything I’ve learned about being yourself and why it’s so important to do so, in a world constantly trying to convince you to be someone else. I have so many new things in store.

    I just don’t want to get to allllllllll of it right this minute. Because right now, I’m writing to you from bed, wrapped in my too soft for this world Costco blanket, watching Gilmore Girls, trying not to be too despondent about the future of America.

    Instead of forcing myself to run full speed ahead, I’m going to try doing things differently. 

    The calendar is not the boss of me and neither is society.

    I’m going to look BEYOND JANUARY. And I’m inviting you to join me.

    BEYOND JANUARY is my invitation to you, to meet yourself where you are right at this moment. 

    BEYOND JANUARY is an approach for slow, deep, and meaningful change. . 

    BEYOND JANUARY is a community for people who want to show up as their real, full selves on the way to achieving their goals.

    BEYOND JANUARY is a framework for digging deep to explore who you are, and then making changes in your life to create more time, space, and energy for the real you. 

    BEYOND JANUARY is a community for people who know that fresh starts aren’t limited to the first month of the year. 

    If you’re ready to paint a clear, full picture of who you really are, and then set more specific, effective goals than ever for how you want to move through 2025, then Beyond January was created with you in mind. 

    So, how exactly does this all work? What is Beyond January, really? Great question. 

    Unlike any of my other offerings thus far, BEYOND JANUARY has multiple tiers/entrypoints to maximize flexibility! The best part, in my humble opinion? You get to choose how much support you want, and how long you want it for. 

    My goal is for you to be completely in control of this journey, and have all the agency you need to make that happen. 

    And also, expect some updates + additions! This is just what I’ve dreamed up so far! I’ll continue to literally dream up more, from bed, while I nap in between episodes of Gilmore Girls + Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

    It’s called BEYOND JANUARY, remember? We’re not in a rush. 

    Starting January 31st, you can expect new prompts + a video breaking everything down. In the meantime, you can check out The Authenticity Library.

    If you’re ready to sign up, subscribe here at whatever tier feels right.

    If you need some more time and want to stay in the loop as I continue sharing more details - no action required. I’ll keep you posted and continue sharing more here at Wild Cozy Free.

    (If you’re wondering how Beyond January will affect Wild Cozy Free – the short answer is that Wild Cozy Free isn’t going anywhere, and I’m very excited about continuing to be in community with you here as the most authentic, raw version of myself. Stay tuned for the long answer, which will likely just be that things will go back to being a little less structured (and well, wild cozy free!) which is the way I think I like it :) 

    In the meantime, here’s a song I wrote a few years ago about January. (click here!)

    PS What comfort shows are those of you who are also still nestled under the covers watching these days? Has anyone started No Good Deed on Netflix? It’s been on my list but I just started binging Real Housewives of Salt Lake City again and I’m in so deep. I could never be in a group of friends like this but I will watch them fight for hours in expensive vacation homes and ski chalets.

  • Why I’m writing to you at 2 AM on Christmas Eve

    You might be wondering what the hell I have to say to you that’s important enough that I’d post something on Christmas Eve. CHRISTMAS EVE!! A day often, rightfully reserved for last-minute shopping, cooking, seven fishes dinners, holiday movies, and maybe some semi-peaceful (or at least tolerable?) time with loved ones.

    Or maybe - you’re excited to be hearing from me, in which case…

    Either way, I deeply value your times so I’ll get right to it.

    If you’re having an amazing holiday season devoid of stress, stop reading and go enjoy yourself. Seriously. No sarcasm intended. I am SO happy for you. And deeply envious. But seriously - go enjoy yourself!

    But also — would you forward this to anyone you suspect might not be having an amazing holiday season devoid of stress? And if you’re reading this on Substack, would you share it with your community on notes? I would be SO grateful! Thank you!!

    Okay, so for those of us still here…

    I have promoted my Holiday Survival Kit more than anything I have ever created in my entire life. Not just as a coach, but also as a writer, and actor, and in all my endeavors.

    And a lot of the time, self-promotion feels really really icky. Like, I’m writing this at the last minute at 2AM on Christmas Eve. I did not plan to write to you today. I also scheduled an Instagram post that’s going out today. I feel icky and weird about that too. Maybe I’m not supposed to admit that, maybe the sales influencer people would yell at me. Oh well.

    Despite my discomfort with self-promotion, here’s the thing —

    If I don’t tell you about the value of the Holiday Survival Kit and all of the insights, tools, catchphrases, strategies for hard conversations, and real-life stories I poured into the on-demand bite-sized videos…

    If I don’t tell you about my personal survival guide with my favorite resources…

    If I don’t tell you about the guide full of prompts designed to help you figure out what you need to take care of yourself right now, and how to get it…

    If I don’t share any of that with you…

    Well, you won’t know about any of it!

    Maybe you don’t need a Holiday Survival Kit. If that’s the case, go ahead and click out of the tab and enjoy yourself.

    But if you could use some extra support…

    I’m here to help. And I’m not going to let my self-consciousness get in the way of reaching people who could this resource that I’ve poured my heart into.

    Inside the Holiday Survival Kit Party, you’ll learn…

    * how to stop stressing out about being a perfect hostess aka how to get out of the kitchen, avoid a mid-party meltdown, have fun at your own gathering, and even let your friends help you clean up (wild, I know. I did it and lived to tell the tale).

    * what to do when you’re dissociating at a holiday party and would rather be home watching Netflix

    * how to stop fixating on creating the “perfect holiday”

    * how to not lose your mind when your aunt (once again) tells you not to eat too much

    * how to avoid a trip to the ER over a peach cobbler (true story)

    * how to hold space for all of the fa la la la feelings that don’t quite seem to fit in with the tinsel and cheer, when the world tells you to put on a happy face (ex: loneliness and grief).

    * how to create authentic traditions

    * how to deck the halls with BOUNDARIES

    Okay, sounds intriguing but like, what IS the holiday survival kit party? Is it an actual party? Are you trying to get me to go to a party right now, Alexa? With other people? In clothes that aren’t sweatpants?

    Of course not. I would NEVER.

    Here’s how it works. Once you’re inside the “party”, you’ll get…

    * PRACTICAL TOOLS

    Over ninety minutes of carefully curated, on-demand recordings, broken down into eight sections. Inside, I share tools, tips, insights, mindset shifts, affirmations, and more, for navigating the holiday season with more intentionality and authenticity. (Scroll down to the ‘all the merry details section here for details on exactly what I talk about in each video).

    * THE HOLIDAY SURVIVAL KIT WORKBOOK

    a downloadable guide with thirty pages of prompts to help you create your very own custom kit!

    * MY HOLIDAY SURVIVAL KIT

    with allll of my custom recommendations. Sections include, but are not limited to, my favorite podcasts, TV shows and movies, books, tools for hard conversations, tips on setting boundaries, wellness tips, activities etc.

    * COMMUNITY

    access to our exclusive holiday survival kit facebook group, where you can share tips and commiserate!

    Maybe you think that it’s too late to benefit from a resource like this. I would probably think that, if I received an email like this.

    But here’s the thing —

    The story of the time I landed in the ER because of a peach cobbler, might reframe the way you look at other people’s needs vs. your own. And maybe that shift will change the way you interact with people for these last two weeks of the year and beyond.

    The resources I’ve collected for tending to the big, messy emotions like loneliness and grief, might be the very resources you’ve been needing to help you feel seen in your pain.

    I’ve been told by many, many people that my synopses of holiday movies (Christmas Inheritance and Princess Switch to be exact) are the funniest thing they’ve ever heard. You will definitely walk away from that video realizing just how ridiculous holiday movies can be, and that real life is quite different. And that the holidays don’t have to be perfect to be fun, cozy, or whatever you want this time of year to feel like.

    Oh, and the Deck The Halls with Boundaries section will *definitely* leave you with some new, unique, very effective ideas for what to say or do during impossibly uncomfortable conversations. The mindset shift/tools/insights you need to avoid a screaming match might be just a click away!

    It is definitely never too late for any of these things.

    Here’s what definitely WON’T happen after you watch the Holiday Survival Kit Party:

    All your stress will be gone

    You’ll have a perfectly magical holiday season

    Here’s what WILL happen:

    You’ll have the tools to reduce your stress

    You’ll learn what your priorities are for the end of the year

    You’ll develop more compassion for yourself

    You’ll get permission to take care of yourself and have whatever kind of holiday season you want

    You’ll spend time with someone who loves and hates the holidays, who is tired of the pretenses and bullshit, and ready to get real about what’s hard about the holidays + how she handles it

    (It’s me, the someone is me.)

    You can pay in full for $222 or two installments of $111.

    If cost is a barrier, please please email me back at [email protected] or DM me over on Instagram at @alexajordancoaching.

    If you want the Holiday Survival Kit Party, I want you to have it.

    I want you to have access to this resource, and I want to meet you where you are. It’s that simple. That’s what Holiday Survival Kit Party is all about. I’m 100% confident we can figure something out.

    You can also totally reach out if you have questions. I’ll be a little slower to respond due to holiday festivities and merriment- but I *will* respond when I see your message!

    You can also check out these FAQs (abbreviated here, full version on my website).

    * What if I’ve never taken a course like this before?

    Think of Holiday Survival Kit Party as less of a sit-down, traditional course, and more of a long Facetime/zoom chat with a friend who gets it, and tells it like it is. Consider me your go-to BFF for all things Holiday-related!

    (I honestly even hestitate to call it a course - that is just the closest thing I can describe it as!)

    * I’m so busy already — how will I find the time for this? Why should I add another thing to my calendar/to-do list this holiday season?!

    The longest video is 20 minutes. I designed these recordings to be bite-sized and digestible for even the busiest schedules.

    You can literally watch/listen to these modules on your lunch break, on the plane ride home or on the car ride over to your friend’s house. You can even listen on the subway if you want!

    * I’d love to join, but I’m not sure if the Holiday Survival K…

  • How I'm Feeling Post U.S. Presidential Election

    Transcript at wildcozyfree.substack.com

    The Holiday Survival Kit Party (Both on demand course access and live workshop tickets) is ON SALE until midnight PST. For SIXTY PERCENT off.

    I created the Holiday Survival Kit Party series because I wanted to give people the tools and resources that I’ve used over the last few years to bring more intentionality and authenticity to the holiday season.

    I LOVE the holidays, and I am finally ready to admit that this time of year stresses me out. I am holding space for the duality of…

    loving twinkly lights, Hallmark movies, Christmas cookies, and holiday parties

    AND

    being anxious about how to handle a busy calendar, interactions with relatives, seasonal affective disorder, and all the big, messy emotions that we’re constantly pressured to repress amidst the holly jolly of it all.

    I wanted to create a space where you could learn how to have less stress, and more intentionality and authenticity during the holiday season, so that you can actually enjoy the holiday season - not just survive!

    I also wanted to make the Holiday Survival Kit as accessible as possible - which is why I’m so excited to announce that it will be available as an on demand course starting THIS FRIDAY!

    Inside both the on-demand course and live workshop, you’ll get the gift of…

    ➕ PRACTICAL TOOLS for navigating the holiday season with more intentionality and authenticity

    ➕ COMMUNITY; access to our exclusive holiday survival kit group available to all workshop participants, for sharing tips and commiserating!

    At the live workshop, you’ll also experience intimate group discussions with fellow participants!

    An intimate party where you can connect with your people on a deeper level and foster authenticity and intentionality is my kind of party.

    To summarize, here are the different ways you can experience a Holiday Survival Kit Party.

    - buy the on-demand course

    - attend a live virtual workshop on 11/13, 11/17, 11/21 or 11/24

    - *throw your own holiday survival kit party and watch the on-demand course with friends!

    - **contact me about hosting and facilitating a private virtual workshop for your group

    *If you’re selecting this option, email me at alexajordancoaching@gmail. to get a group rate instead of buying numerous packages!

    **The same goes for this option; we’ll discuss what you’re looking for and set up something custom!

    Okay, that’s it.

    Hope you’re taking care of yourself.
