#7 Healthy Launching and Speaking with Mamapreneur Alexia Vernon

On this episode of the Feed Your Hustle Podcast, I interview Alexia Vernon, a masterful speaking trainer, new mama, and entrepreneur with a laundry list of accomplishments.

We talk about how she balanced her latest major launch with her husband away and no nanny, plus the 3 critical healthy habits she’s implementing for her next launch. AND we jammed on specific healthy habits for powerful public speaking, whether it be on-stage, webinars, or interviews.

Branded a “Moxie Maven” by the White House for her unique approach to developing women’s voices, through her Step Into Your Moxie platform she has become the go-to expert for helping TEDx speakers, entrepreneurs, executives, online experts, business professionals, educators, and creatives get over their fear of public speaking and deliver their spotlight talks.

A motivational speaker focused on heart-centered and high impact communication, values-driven leadership, and women’s empowerment, she not only cultivates the voices of thought leaders through programs like Your Spotlight Talk or her intensive MasterTreats for transformational speakers, she is one. She has scored face time with hundreds of corporate, conference, and college audiences with her keynote speeches and interactive trainings, and she is founder of the Las Vegas-based women’s leadership training program, Influencer Academy.

As the co-organizer and co-host of Las Vegas’ TEDxFremontEastWomen, she possesses a unique understanding of the TED speaking style and what organizers are looking for in prospective speakers.

On top of all that, she also became a full-time mom last year when her daughter was born. So you know we have TONS to talk about in today’s episode!

“Whenever you find yourself getting too in your head, try to get in your body and get up and get physical… When the body is alive, the head is alive, and we’re able to produce our best results that way.” – Alexia Vernon
