Alex shares her remarkable seven-year journey from self-doubt and conditioning into confidence, purpose, and soul-led leadership. She opens up about the moment her mission "came through her, not from her," the internal battles she's overcome, and the extraordinary challenges she faced — including a major sabotage attempt against her biggest event to date.
Despite protests, venue cancellations, anonymous threats, and online attacks, Alex refused to back down. The event still went ahead, stronger than ever.

This is a raw, honest, and deeply inspiring conversation about awakening, sovereignty, courage, and the power of following your inner compass.
