What if confidence isn’t something we build later in life… but something we slowly learn to unlearn?

In this heart-opening episode, Alex is joined by two powerful collaborators—artist Nadia & project partner Danielle—for a deeply personal conversation about Free to Be Me, a children’s book that’s quickly becoming a movement.

What started as a quiet moment during a breathwork session (and a breastfeeding cuddle) has grown into a bold vision: helping the next generation of leaders stay connected to who they truly are—before the world teaches them otherwise.

Together, the 3 explore why language matters so much in shaping belief, identity, and self-worth from the very beginning. Alex shares how her background in neuroscience, education, and leadership coaching—combined with becoming a mom—radically heightened her awareness of the words children hear every day… and the invisible stories those words plant.

You’ll hear:

Why phrases like “I’m busy” or “be careful” can quietly shape lifelong patterns of burnout and fear
How affirmations like “I can do this” become embodied beliefs when children are invited to truly own them
What it means to raise children who feel seen, loved, and enough exactly as they are
How art becomes a bridge between emotion, identity, and belonging
Why this book is being intentionally co-created—with families, children, and the wider community

Nadia offers a beautiful behind-the-scenes look at her creative process, sharing how she captures not just what a child looks like, but how they feel. Danielle grounds the conversation by weaving together the purpose, pacing, and importance of doing this work with care, integrity, and heart.

Free to Be Me is now officially available for pre-order, and this episode marks the beginning of its next phase.

In the coming weeks, we’ll be opening a crowdsourcing initiative that invites families, parents, grandparents, and supporters to help co-create the illustrations that bring this book to life. From full-page scenes to individual portraits, this project is being built with community, not just for it.
