Love your podcast! One of my besties, Jenna, introduced me to it in 2020 and ever since then, my life is much more bada**! It’s refreshing that you don’t sugarcoat, but still get points across with compassion and science. I’m not sure you will ever know how much you have saved my life, or how I could ever repay you, but thank you! Truly! P.S. love the brain/ science facts! Also, hearing your life updates over the last several years has been wonderful and inspiring! Cheers!

I am not typically someone who leaves reviews, but Alexis deserves her flowers! Been a on and off listener for the past few years, and always come back and catchup. I recommend this podcast to many people for different reasons. Such versatility and a raw, real take on people, life and accountability for yourself. Love the scientific facts and unbiased opinions. Such a vibe, always 💓

alj_xo · Mar 2025

This has been my favorite podcast over the past few years. It’s the podcast world’s equivalent to when Shania Twain says “Let’s go girls”. At the end of every episode you want to kick a door down and just go out and be the best version of yourself. Thank you Alexis for being so informative, blunt, hilarious, and the absolute gem of the podcast world.

LHop12 · Nov 2024

I absolutely love Alexis and all of the information she provides! I have been listening for two years and I honestly appreciate what I have learned! She is truly a gem! I love how detailed she is about everything! She truly lobes what she does and I hope she knows that she is changing many lives🤍🤍🤍🤍thank you

Ironic that a podcast about focusing would contain so many word whiskers that distracted from the topic. I understand people curse, it happens. It might be a good episode to study ways to break out of the habit of word whiskers. I’m sure for some, cursing as word whisker is cool and edgy, but frankly it just sounds stupid and it’s distracting. A shame because this podcast sounds interesting. I’ll be looking elsewhere.
